A very entertaining game going on between Als and Ti-Cats right now despite it's utter meaninglessness.  Vernon Adams looks like he's found his groove and is making things happen.  Have to hand it to the Ti-Cats fans, they're right into this game unlike the RB's fans last night.

That was a decent game to watch.  Montreals D was hammering Hamiltons qbs. Their D has been fun to watch this year......just not against us.

Montreal has a lot to do in the off season, find a new coach a capable Qb and make some decisions on some vets. May be in trouble again next year.

With the first pick in the 2017 draft the winnipeg blue bombers select ... 

I can see why the riders are all over this Franklin kid in Edm...He looked like Warren Moon on their first td.....Maybe we should have a look lol.....

Looks like the Esks. pulled another fast one on the league by having Reilly miked up but pulling him after the 1st Q.  In reality the mike should have transferred to Franklin but it hasn't.  Will be interesting to see if TSN gets in their ear and forces them to switch over for the second half.

Esks shredding the Argos with receivers i've never heard of and a Qb who hasn't played all year.

There's that possibility but the Argos pass defence looks toothless.

After chucking three more with ease.....Who the hell is this kid...Someone is going to be knockin on Hervey's door in the offseason...Have to agree the opposition looks like their secondary is a sieve...Lot's of holes to plug in argoland

Is James Franklin a free agent at the end of this season or next?

Bizarre to hear Schultz defending Maas and his reluctance to mike-up. Good on Milt for setting him straight.

I thought someone posted that Franklin's a FA this offseason and Lawless said Esks , Riders and  Bombers all showing the most attention. . . 

Correction, Franklin's signed through 2017...

A Canadian olineman like every other CFL draft.

Looks like the 1st. overall is ours.....our second will be decided tonight with the result of the BC game.... It'll be one position in the draft either way....BUT any way you look at it we are gold in the 17' draft....Walters and company have got us in a position to get some quality canucks.

A playoff berth after an 11 win season and we get the #1 pick next year. Outstanding work, Trinity! !

We didn't go oline when we last had the 1st overall pick .  

The early draft rankings only have 1 OL in the top 5 so there doesn't seem to be alot of them to choose from, especially if there's any nfl interest. 

Would they trade it for James Franklin?

Ed Hervey is apparently lying.

I'm a bigger Nichols fan than most, but we have to think long and hard about Franklin if he's available.

So Riders are starting Mitch Gale, all but guaranteeing  BC win.  Thanks for nothin Chris Jones.

Were you somehow unaware that Durant is hurt and not playing?

Isn't the Bombers pick position dependent on how they do in the playoffs?

I believe only the NHL does that?  Or am I wrong?

I was.  Well this is embarrassing.

Man, when is Demski a FA again??

Ok, I looked it up. Grey Cup winner picks last and Grey Cup loser picks 2nd last. All other teams are ranked according to their regular season standings.

Therefore, the Bombers could be picking 6, 7, 8 or 9. The B.C. game will eliminate either 6 or 7.
