They didnt have that 300k this year. They had to re-work the remaining VAJ contract to fit under the cap. That's with Montreal picking up the early portion of his deal, Woody Baron only playing 6 games and Stove missing the entire year.

He is Derek Taylor's replacement as the Riders radio guy. I hope he has a long career so we're treated to more gems like this.

Somebody go check on that Ballsy dude... he was sure BLM was going to lead the Riders rebuild.

Heading out Friday (hopefully in time to catch some of TD MB) but will be hitting up Bomber House on Saturday. LFG!!!

Based on their results, none of them would even crack the top 20 in the MBB Pick Em contest. Every year they are consistently bad at picking winners (especially Nye).

Just because the fan base is confident doesn't mean the players are taking things lightly. I can't see an MOS led team ever doing this. They keep the same mentality every game - the goal is to be 1-0 this week, what happened earlier doesn't matter.

If that's the GC match up, who do the Gappers in attendance pull for? The Bombers or Harris who's been public enemy #1 there for a number of years?

He certainly enjoys playing Hamilton in the playoffs.

Carey got worse with each game against us this year. 110 yards the 1st game, 92 yards the next and 62 yards in the last game. If we contain him the way we did in the last game, it's not going to be an issue.

They did... It's only one half of the group and a couple other random guys I've never heard of.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but this is now playing in Winnipeg (Grant Park & Polo Park).

And (iirc) a thank you to Bob Young for helping keep the league afloat during the pandemic.

Players absolutely care. It's not just a pride thing either, some players have all-star clauses in their contract so this stuff affects their finances as well.

Might improve the quality of his blogs.

The CFL has taken the page down at the moment but when I read it earlier, the section you quoted was in one spot but lower down in the article it said fans also had a say.

From the NFL PA site (https://nflpa.com/active-players/faq/what-is-a-credited-season-and-what-does-it-mean-to-be-vested):

It's 100% just to make it seem like the club was actually doing something. This was the nearly the best outcome possible though (imo) & I love the fact that they are being hooped by the coaches cap when they (and Chris Jones) are the reason it exists in the first place.

I was going to say his lack of mobility was a most certainly a change for Rourke but then I looked at the stats from the game against us earlier in the year. Zero rushing attempts - the only team he could not run against. I'm guessing Calgary's D-Line is very much looking forward to Sunday.

Yeah, he's not just collecting a pay cheque like many CFL'ers who catch on with an NFL team. He's been one of their better defenders and still has room to grow/learn.

You have to also consider how bad the team was back then. The prospect of getting two NFL caliber players offered a bit of hope. Now it would just be a bonus.
