Around the League: 2019 Off Season

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.

    My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

  • I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

But how is Fred Reid looking in camp? Oh and Zeke Moreno?

Don’t laugh....I actually have a Fred Reid AND a Zeke Moreno jersey.

Reid is common...the Moreno is pretty unique. I'm impressed. I still want to know who the guy in Calgary with the 2003-era Bombers Ladarius Vann jersey is......see him almost every time I'm at McMahon for a Bombers game...

The young man in Winnipeg with the Jim Zorn jersey is my all-time fave.

No way that kid was alive when Jim Zorn was a Bomber.

I'm going to take it as a sign that our young Canadian offensive lineman are looking good if literally nobody noticed the absence of Foketi.

lol...it's come up twice this week about the pre-season TV sched, but it was actually released like 2 or 3 months ago. So weird that it's coming up all of a sudden like it's news. 

I guess it's better to err on the side that it wasn't considering the number of times people have posted in the past that they didn't know something was going to be on even though it was posted multiply times. ;)

I haven't bought a jersey since Dr. Ken Nielsen.   Much safer that way.....

If only there were more threads so this kind of stuff wouldn't get lost in a mega-thread.

But that would make too much sense. Less diehard fans must be punished for not visiting the disorganized mega-thread daily to sort through the mostly irrelevant **** posts to find relevant news points like TV schedules. If you're not sorting through those threads to find the relevant team news item posted ever 4-6 pages you don't deserve to know when the preseason game are aired.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I actually 100% agree with this.......
