Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

A good guy with no luck at all. Now he has time to work on his dance moves and he was paid well, so few tears for Mr. Willy.

Time to straighten his tie and go on some job interviews.

If he's the guy that found Duke Williams...

Funny how the Riders can't afford John Murphy but can afford Paul Jones. It seems only the Riders can do magic like that & no one else.

Are you intimating that the Riders are indulging in some creative salary management? For shame.

. There is no free lunch. There are benefits for some in using marijuana derivatives and there will be negative side effects for others.

Yeah you're right. I have a lot of experience with this issue and I definitely have a lot of compassion for people with mental health issues (all of us). One of the problems with marijuana is that there are thousands of chemicals involved. Yes some are beneficial and some are not. More research needs to be done to hopefully extract the right compounds for specific medical issues, CBDs, for example. THC, and getting high, is not a necessarily good side effect. There are far better medicines that cannabis for treating many mental health issues. It is not a cure-all.

With pretty much all psychotropic meds, there are iatrogenic and paradoxical effect for a few, and these are unpredictable and serious.

Well first there were the dinosaurs but then they all died and turned into oil.  And then the arabs came and all bought Mercedes.

He's the guy that found Milt Stegall and probably a pile of those good receivers Edmonton has had over the years.

The Riders are incapable of doing anything on their own. They have to raid other teams players, coaches, scouts & managers. That's all the Riders organization knows how to do.

I saw that too, wondering who the hell contacted him though?  As a Packer fan I sure as hell hope it wasn't us.
