At the time didn't realize how lucky we were to go from Roberts to Reid. That 260 game was something else. Walls was fun to watch and made a lot of plays. Didn't know he stayed in Winnipeg after football.

Didn't see a week 2 thread going yet. Hope this doesn't indicate that Collaros is injured.

Glad the Bombers acted swiftly here. Hope the days of teams covering for abusers is over (at least in the CFL, I don't have much hope for the NHL, NFL etc.)

Could see the possibility of signing him to let Leggs focus solely on FG kicking.

Ya Bell got the penalty for taunting.

They absolutely want to become martyrs. They want the cops to get violence so they can claim to be victims. Why else would they put their kids out in front of them and dare the cops to do something. Disgusting cowards.

Exactly, these occupiers have no clue. They have a right to protest peacefully just like everybody else. Trucks don't have a right to protest. Commercial vehicles don't have a right to protest.

I think he'd be worth a look for that 3rd import spot if the price is right. I thought he was older but he's only just turning 30.

Ya best option available at this point. Hope they bring in another young QB to compete.

Can't go wrong with anyone from the back to back champs.

Well said. It is crappy situation all around but it sounds like the team had reason not to trust the AH would be 100% ready for this season AND AH had reason to feel hurt by the way the team handled trying to sign him again. That article didn't come off a as a one-sided hit piece to me at all.

Agree here. Hasn't show much in games but apparently is great in practice. That only takes a guy so far.

Sad to see Darvin and Harris go, but it had to happen eventually. Darvin isn't the receiver he once was, but he was still a hell of blocker and great guy to have on the team. Made some big plays when it counted in the 2019 and 2021 playoffs. Nice finish for him in blue and gold catching the game winning TD in the cup. Harris clearly struggled with injuries last year but looked great when on the field. Too bad they couldn't work out a deal but had to move on to younger guys at some point. He no longer had to be the focal point of the O with Collaros around. For a few years he carried the team, but the team improved enough that he didn't have to carry them anymore. Wish him good luck in TO and glad he's not playing in the West.

How is a signing bonus taxed at a lower rate? Is that a US thing?

Ya didn't say it was a great plan. Haha

Didn't they sign Dennis again? I assume that's who they are going with at LT

Darvin replied that the he's not in the Bomber's plans

Could be plan to roll with rookies but seems risky. Management could think that Woli is ready to take the next step and be a feature guy too.

Is that Bob announcing Darvin is back or encouraging him to come back?

I think it happened on the last play, might have even been during the celebration on the INT.

A team (especially this team) could win with an offence designed for Strev's strengths. The Riders win with CF for godsake.

Totally agree. One of the Hallett bros could be a decent safety, but BA is what makes the D elite.

Thanks for sharing. This must be incredibly stressful for you and your family. Don't have health problems myself, but have two kids under 5 (one born during the pandemic) and ya that 2 years have been tough. The kids are doing great, they don't know any different but my wife and I are going crazy with stress trying to manage covid risk and having to think about it for every little thing we do.

I get these thoughts but everyone isn't eligible for the vaccine yet. Kids under 5 namely. How many of those teachers have kids under 5, or kids with compromised immune systems, or elderly parents they take care of. We are going to have to learn to live with the virus, but basically nothing has been done to make schools safer (improved ventilation, etc.). The govt just put all eggs in the vaccine basket and didn't do anything else.
