So Farhan tweeted this: @FarhanLaljiTSN @Stmn_Willie_Bmn got a 205K contract with 100K signing bonus and it wasn't acrimonious. I'm surprised he didn't get more. It's a pretty good deal for Winnipeg." To which Jefferson replied Yea man we just trying to build a dynasty over here!!!! I just love this tweet and Jefferson.

From Farhan Lalji on Twitter... Shocked to hear that Adam Bighill’s contract for 2021 is 115k (down from 260k). I know he has strong business interests in Winnipeg, but is speaks volumes for the atmosphere Mike O’Shea has created with #Bombers that a player would take that much less to stay there. @CFLonTSN 1/2 ...and if there is an off-season GM of the year award, it goes to Kyle Walters. @andrewharris33, @Bighill44, @Stmn_Willie_Bmn, @Demski9, @ZCollaros7, Bryant, Hardrick, Gray, Antigha, Jeffcoat, Thomas, Maston all back under manageable deals. Most of the heavy lifting already done!

Andrew Harris officially back. https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/01/15/still-get-chills-drive-ig-field-harris-returns/

Exume is on my list. I would love to see him stay and develop.

No surprise... but glad it's official now

Great to have Harris back.

I think he's planning to move and stay in Winnipeg for the long term.

I'll welcome anyone of them. Ellingson is a 1000-yard receiver for 5 straight yr. Rogers is also a 1000-yd receiver if he stays healthy. I would think they also understand the league situation salary-wise. I don't like Jefferson before when he was wearing a different colors... heck even Harris when he still playing with BC. But I really love them both now..

Wow biggie taking a massive pay cut... kudos to Walter's but more so the players banding together when it counts. That means you too, Willie and Zach.

He could of signed with NFL already. He was one of the guys that was released after season was cancled.

So with the remaining Bombers FAs, I like these 3 signed and I'm good, the rest will be a bonus. 1) OL Neufeld (or Speller) 2) DT Richardson 3) and DB Exume

To celebrate, the Bomber Store is offering 33% off, today only. No other discounts will be applied.

The band is getting back together again!

Fun stuff, thought I would share.

Laine no longer looks like a kid out there. He just looks so much bigger stronger.

Didn’t miss the 1st. Just don’t base my entire perception of a player off of 20 minutes.

Give Patty 1st line and 10 plus. Dude is beast mode. By far the best Jet so far.

I think Exume is gonna be a starter eventually. Hope hes back too. Man eric rogers would be wicked in blue n gold.

Finally. This might be very good for the USA. Maybe the next time an elementary gets shot up and children killed... something will ******* change.

Groin injury according to 3DN.

Peterman is a guy I really want back, but if I was him, I'd absolutely be looking at FA as a way to find a starting role. The guy is good enough to be a starting WR/SB in this league, but is stuck behind some pretty good players in Wpg.

That's quite the job that Walters et al have done this off season winning and atmosphere goes a long way

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has kicked an MPP out of the Progressive Conservative caucus for sending an open letter that calls for the province's lockdown and COVID-19 restrictions to end. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pfizer-temporarily-reducing-vaccine-deliveries-1.5874645

Lol. And a month later some of the heralded provinces are a disaster.

3DN - Like any quality media organization, it needs strong editor and leadership. They just don't have that now to hold themselves accountable.

3DN got **** on pretty good by some *legitimate* media the other day for their shoddy piece on the league not doing enough right now to ensure the government is on board for a new season.....tells me all I need to know about 3DN. People that matter don't really respect it. It's not really worth your clicks.

Those "insider" articles are becoming more and more laughable. No one talks about Rogers? Who are they listening to? And WHY TF would Ottawa let their biggest FA walk away without playing a single down, under a HC who has publicly stated He has wanted to work with him for years? Anyway 3down is really becoming hard to read/take seriously. I hope they figure it out asap.

Who cares......

Subtext: We were such a disaster for so long, our government completely botching the restrictions, that we were already in a full Code Red for a month and a half before Xmas came and so, only by our mismanagement of the pandemic, we were in lockdown. We remain a shameful embarrassment.

Probably, but from reports, Trump is now afraid that by issuing pardons left and right, he will provoke public anger that will harm "his brand".

Interesting thoughts on Nick Arbuckle maybe playing in Toronto by Justin Dunk considering Arbuckle signed a restructured deal in Ottawa weeks ago. Now that LaPo is gone there is no reason why we can't have a thousand yard rusher in Harris & at least two thousand yard receivers with the players we have.

Thanks Jets, I’m back to yelling at the tv.

I know how painful it is to have the light of your life torn away and fall into an abyss of emptiness and despair. There are many for whom the life alone without their soulmate is so devoid of meaning and joy that they choose to wither away soon after their mates. It take a lot of courage and support to try to reassemble a life alone.

Took Banks a few years before he became a really good receiver.

Contract year. Great pick-up in your fantasy draft.

So thankful for my small town cable company that bypasses regional restrictions and gives me TSN 3 in small town Alberta. Can't imagine having to listen to the Calgary feed. Ugh. Managed to get Laine in the middle rounds of our fantasy draft.... Risk/reward but the reward could be big.

Guess ppl missed the 1st. Jets sucked. Sorry but top 4 D don't turn the puck over as much as Forbort does. All in all tho after the complete crap show 1st.. Jets were the better team. Laine best player on the Ice not named Markstrom.

The failure to confront the white supremacist invasion of police forces has had deadly consequences The apparent participation of off-duty officers in the rally that morphed into a siege on the U.S. Capitol building Jan. 6 has revived fears about white supremacists within police departments. These concerns are not new. White supremacy, the belief that white people are superior to other races, has long tainted elements within law enforcement. As I testified before Congress just months before this assault, there is a long history of racism in U.S. policing – and this legacy may have contributed to the violence in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Reports of officers involved in an attack in which the symbols and language of white supremacy were clearly on display are concerning. But so too, I believe, is a policing culture that may have contributed to the downplaying of the risk of attack before it began and the apparent sympathetic response to attackers displayed by some police officers – they too hint at a wider problem.

one of those rare moments where I'm glad I'm right

That looks like a team that hadn't played any exhibition. Poolman, Appleton were terrible that period. Hellebyuck looks like he's trying too hard. Still time to right the ship but yikes. Oh btw...happy new year everyone. Should have lead with that instead.

to all the racists screaming about the reserves getting early access to the vaccine....THIS is why....... Ugh. Poor buggers.
