The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it
Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner
Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

Dear Mr Negatron
What good are such statements about who said what first ... Bombers & Jets win it all in same year ... that would be a freak of nature ... sort of like putting all your free cash flow into lottery tickets guareenting poverty forever
Predictions and forecasts are useful if it can help govern good actions .... otherwise they are no more than narcissistic ego ... annoying and antisocial.... but yeah the Bombers are going to win the Grey Cup this year

I am guessing that the change in defensive positional coaches is going to make a bigger difference than we expect this year

Do we bring our own Beer?

agreed .... Enoch is talented but is having a reality check ... I hope he comes to terms with us, settles down with us, and prospers here for the next 5 years

We've had some fine discussions over several threads about free agency.  I have enjoyed flipping back and forth between the various discussions. But in the next few days the news and rumours are going to be coming fast and furious, particularly on Monday night and Tuesday. 
What I don't want to have to do is to keep searching several threads to make sure I don't miss any of this juicy stuff. So I thought it would be cool if we could have a central place to keep up to the latest.  I'm not saying this thread would be the only place to post and I'm not saying that some news might deserve a whole thread for itself. 
I'm just saying it would be nice to post the latest tidbits, speculations and announcements over the next 3   days to a week in this one spot - - so none of us miss anything because we are not looking in the right thread. 
So do you want to try this spot as the central posting place for this week?
Meanwhile as we are waiting for announcements tomorrow and beyond, I have a question. With sports salaries being so widely published everywhere else, why is it that we keep CFL salaries so closely guarded?

Hoping big time on Westerman ..... I am most curious what the one big prize Walters is looking for on Tuesday

NFL makes changes every year and it does make the game better & safer .... I want to see more refinement

This is the most boring thread .... a big nothing burger that won't go away

Does anybody know about QB Bo Levi Mitchell's injury status?
Anybody can see he played most of the season hurt .... wondering if he had any off season corrective surgery or if he is just resting his bo-bo ...

Was/Is Stubler too old at age 68 to be a viable OC? 

Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news  like all of you.  Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap  comes in.
But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?
 I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.  
After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.
We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up. 
We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence). 
But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ...  Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.
So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.
 

I also  don't have a problem with a short space between the CFL draft and rookie camp opening. The drafted youngsters need to make up their minds quickly instead of stretching out their time to consider their alternatives.  You get an attractive rookie contract, then you take it or don;t. Negotiations always compress to the time available... there is no advantage to delaying & stringing it out. Most of the better college players look forward all winter to playing in the pros.

The "Hell" of it all was violating our own most basic philosophy: play conservatively and don't turn the ball over  - - breaks will come our way... MOS led us to do the exact opposite, gambling on a turnover and handing them a certain score if he lost. ONCE MOS played the drunken hero the whole team lost not only their modus operandi philosophy they also lost all the discipline that went with it --- everybody was now "permitted" to play with abandon and it showed .... MOS broke our own fundamental mindset and that was the Hell of watching us implode with something far greater than an unforced error!
