3DN seemed to stick to their story a bit when Cui's comments came out - they pointed out that they had several sources confirm their information was accurate, so who knows. Playing Devil's advocate, Cui might be spinning things and not being entirely truthful - after years of promoting fights, this should come naturally to him now! By saying his hands are pretty much tied, it gives him an out as to why they aren't doing anything. They made one nothingburger move with McAdoo to make it look like they are trying but are they really?

It was reported by 3DN that way but, unless he's lying to save face, Cui shot that down recently while also admitting they are still paying guys like Sunderland and Elizondo.

Chris Jones is the sole reason there is an Ops cap so he has nobody to blame but himself. If you're going to let him off the hook here, what's next? Another secret stash house for extra players not on the books? I feel bad for Cui because he inherited that mess but their BOD should be given the axe since they started the tire fire by signing a guy like that to a long term deal while still paying the previous coaches. They should have waited for Cui's hiring to be finalized & allow him to hire who he wanted. I do think the Ops cap should have some tweaks to it though. I don't think it's fair they get fully guaranteed contracts while players don't so make it a similar scenario. Only partially guaranteed contracts if you meet certain criteria, otherwise the team is only responsible for the current season.

Well if it's a Rider game he's prepping for...

Kenny Lawler

Not a fan of only having the Grey Cup in Toronto or Vancouver. The game needs to move around.

I don't get why Corny is still in the game?

There's a reason he was like the 19th choice for the job. Their entire football ops should be replaced but I'm hoping for extensions for everyone!

I'm sure his team appreciates being thrown under the bus publicly. Guess he doesn't believe in easing guys back in?

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following transactions: Added to practice roster: American defensive end Tyjuan Garbutt (6-2, 261, Virginia Tech, July 14, 1999, in Fredericksburg, VA) https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/07/29/blue-bombers-transactions-july-29/?fbclid=IwAR03qQ0pWsCMXLelGz5Q4eqbGESDFGfU5639O-YVEP8Mt1Z_UoZs4vD7UAY

Who is the best TV sitcom character of all time? Al Bundy for me (or Homer Simpson if we're including animated characters).

Who was your sports hero growing up? Dave Semenko - he was relative (not close) but the kid version of me was in awe having a "cousin" as a member of the best team in hockey, and he was Gretzky's body guard to boot. Who is it today (if different)? Don't really have one but there are guys like MOS that I really appreciate the way they go about their business (except if there are thorax or roster management issues 😂). The contrast between him and other coaches like the Dickenson's is ridiculous. And which sports hero of yours let you down the most? Mike Sellers... said he'd come back and play another season here before retiring because it was so much fun. I'm still waiting Mike! On the flip side, who is your original sports villain, Tim Hunter (or any other Calgary Lame from that era). and who is your chosen villain now? Toss up between Dana White or Gary Bettman.

Might as well take Ouellette too since there aren't very many great options (bye weeks suck!).

Loved Huatulco when we visited there a few years ago. Hot as hell though! 😂

If the Bombers don't bring in Lemon, I wonder if they look at Usher? https://3downnation.com/2023/07/23/montreal-alouettes-release-veteran-de-nick-usher/

To be fair, all their QB's are pretty much 3rd stringers (2nd string at best). Other than BLM (who's questionable at this stage of his career), none of their QB's are close to being a starter. Arbuckle, Schiltz, Locksley, Pipkin or Powell... none of them scare anyone. Powell is still new to the league so he might have potential one day but the rest...

Am I the only one who reads it as Band-Aid instead of Bandy when looking at their o-line? Don't think it's a far stretch, given their history over the last few seasons.

You could see it was something he was working on in 2021 too. He was noticeably leaner from when he first got here in 2019.

Eli is 65.

Can't wait for the reaction to his statue having him in shorts and a hoodie. 😂

I took him as well. 🤬

He also called the L's coaching staff intelligent. I think he's just trolling people when he's forced to talk to the media. 😂

Yup pretty sure Schoen didn't play after getting popped. He went to the room with the trainer but came back a few minutes later. Stayed on the sidelines in full gear but didn't see the field again unless I missed it.
