Fatty Liver

The CFL Combine is underway in Regina now thru this weekend, although you'd never know it by the lack of media coverage and league promotion. Pity, what used to be CFL Week is now just a blip on the media landscape. https://www.cfl.ca/category/cfl-combine/

It's never too late, I'm convinced you could almost pick up a future all-star team of talent by focusing on other competitive team's TC cuts, there's always younger high potential/performing players that slip through the cracks because "right place, wrong time", and after being cut they come willingly at a low price. No sane GM is going to bank on this strategy, but it's still a good way to pick up a few valuable pieces.

LOL, I knew when Kyle held his annual FA presser on the very first day of FA it was over and there was no air left in the balloon. Ed Tait is sweating bullets, trying to parcel sparse announcements out over months of vast nothingness.

Amazing to witness, you have been functionally brainwashed thru repeated messaging.

Dobson should have been a cast member.

Don't have much faith Jake Kelly will become a great Safety, maybe they use Makonzo/Griffin at SAM and move Kramdi back to Safety where he takes over the duties of Bighill and BA as QB of the D.

He's in deep hibernation, can't recall another off-season he's been so silent, didn't even wake up for the CJOB Winter Special.

Winter isn't the same as it was 20 years ago anywhere, on average much milder.

Toronto has a multi-cultural population chock full of soccer fanatics from around the world and it's a hub for 15 million people close at hand. Hold games in Edmonton and it'll be a curiosity that draws farmers from Lacombe and Leduc, the vast majority of Calgarians wouldn't bother driving that far to watch a soccer game.

Renting 15,000 seats from the Riders for a season? Win/win, they won't be needing them.

Never miss a day.

Can't find any mention of it now, but I believe Ouellette was also a pro wrestler in the off-season, could be he's thinking more about extending that career than football as the end of his playing days draws near.

To be fair Ouellette is a gym rat, when he was with the Argos he started the "5 AM Weight Lifting Club" and there are many videos of him on FB and IG lifting enormous weights, such as squatting 700 lbs. Andrew Harris even chided him jokingly for focusing too much on strength and not enough on flexibility.

The Bombers are currently the most successful franchise in the CFL, they sellout multiple games in a row, the stands are always full, people are having a fantastic time, food, beverage and merchandise sales are up and they've had a winning record finishing first in the West the last 4 seasons and going to the GC the last 5. I believe Wade Miller is happy with all the measurables. What are you hoping to accomplish by firing O'Shea, achieve one move victory per season? In what way is he damaging the brand or the franchise?

I recall O'Shea saying a number of years ago how he no longer suggests plays after making an error overriding a defensive formation onetime and now trusts his coordinators to call all plays. After that he focused on managing the clock and general game time decisions such as when to punt and when to gamble. Probably not normal but than not very normal for a STC to become a HC.

Hogan mentioned keeping his offence simple, which probably reflects how much trouble they had with rookie receivers not understanding the playbook well last season.

The commercials were top shelf, put the Super Bowl ads to shame.

NFL Canada awards youth football programs $75,000 through inaugural Forward Pass contribution https://3downnation.com/2025/02/25/nfl-canada-awards-youth-football-programs-75000-through-inaugural-program/ Notta lotta money, can't see why the CFL can't do things like this. $75k split 3 ways, one of the teams that received a $25k donation was the North Winnipeg Nomads Football Club.

Be honest, most of em can't even spell that word.

Got a link?

Please list them, the only one I can recall from last season is Lucky coming in to fill a need. They bring players in later in the season for a tryout for next season but rarely give them any playing time. Edit: Add Tony Jones who they picked up when the Elks cut him in early June. I didn't realize Tony came into the CFL with the Argos in 2022 and he's already 29, may be a placeholder for a couple of seasons and he's already peaked as adequate but not exceptional.

Keep your eye on Mike Miller, he may not know it, but he's being groomed.

O'Shea's MO is to hold onto the guys that make it through TC and dance with them all the way through to the end of the season, only if desperate will he request extra bodies be brought in mid-season to help out. Air-lift is not in his vocabulary and he doesn't like to upset his apple cart by giving late arrivals a fair shot at stealing somebody else's job. Which begs the question what is Walters going to do with the $450k bonus he received during free agency?

I have a hard time believing Miller would spend much time on player evaluations or roster decisions, he might oversee and drop in once in awhile, but he has enough on his plate to worry about small details. If the subject is hiring a coach or paying Brady to stay, he'd likely get involved because those decisions could have a significant effect on financials and promotion of the product.

Judge for yourself, I think Ed has been replaced by a cheap AI construct that spits out 17 words per week.
