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.

So Martimes. Hand is already on the chicken switch. Ambrosie and people not acquainted with how maritime politics and thinking works will be stunned when the whole notion implodes...but they shouldn't be.

Moosehorn is the next town north of Ashern on Hwy 6.

I grew up camping at Watchorn Bay every summer.

FYI Nobody cares about your tiny little dump towns. I spit on all of them. Especially you guys from Wollerton.

I already forgot the Riders brought in Vince Young a couple years ago.. the biggest surprise was that it was to play QB... and not tackle, as one would've expected...

If you're from Riverton in the past 60 years it would be tough not to know a Melsted.

Wow, Moosehorn has a 1st Ave S and a 1st Ave N, but no 2nd or up.

(when I get bored I just look at places on Google Maps.  It's an amazing time we live in.)

Think I spotted SF27's heritage house, but not sure.

There is supposed to be a museum in town & that is where it is.  It's right downtown amid the hustle & bustle. This is my Dad's home.

Opening new markets. Generating new revenue schemes. I just don't get the point of all this.  Randy Ambrosie's  airline tickets would cost more than any $$$ the league sees from this.

Ah got it...  I'd say Riverton's more about pickerel though.  And Reggie Leach.  And whiskey.

Don't you dare say that to a Melsted.
