Sewell working on a D-line with our ends would be eating cake all day long...

A few xmas's ago my brother got my girls a Harris and Nichols jersey. I Instagramed a pic of the girls wearing the jerseys and tagged both players. Nichols shared the pic on his feed and thanked my girls and wished them a merry xmas. Class act, I have nothing but love for Matty Ice.

One good thing about the Nichols move to Ottawa for me: we were not supposed to play the Argos at home this year due to the imbalanced schedule. At least now when the RedBlacks show up Oct. 2 the club can give Nichols a proper video tribute (which he deserves) and the fans can applaud him (which he even more so deserves) for all he did to bring the Bombers back from the dead into the playoffs and ultimately into a Grey Cup champion in his time here, not to mention all his community work and charitable donations.

Our focus is Richardson, too much upside to let walk, that being said if they can't come to terms I wouldn't be surprised we chase a pending established free-agent..If i was to bet tho I think Richardson deal gets done, and if Meddie hangs them up I bet we see a ton of 3 DE end sets with only one true dlineman and McCallister takes that DI spot, and we do heavy rotations of the Jeff's and one of McAllister/Hansen rotating in. I would be shocked as well if Kongbo wasn't back..Its NFL or here, and him coming back changes a whole lot of Dline dynamics we could run

Blue lives matter, FOX?

Lawler and 'Sheed could really blow up, depending on how the offense is set up. I still think things will run through Harris, which means less touches for the REC's, but we've definitely got talent in the receiving corps that will be there when needed.

"O'day is a shrewd talent evaluator, he knows when to get rid of players when no one else does. This generation's Wally Buono"

Does this mean he's old and that he was never any good? Asking for a neighbour to the West.

Say what you want about him on the field but off-field Matt Nichols is phenomenal.

What a bunch of pathetic losers.

I like the idea of McCal in rotation with the Jeffs. Still need some beef. Hope the stove reups. If not Sewell gives alot of push up the middle.

Move over Kevin Glenn, you have competition in the most CFL Jerseys contest: Winnipeg, Sask (x2), Edmonton (x2), Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto (x2), and BC (x2). Quite the collection to go with his AFL (x3) and NFL (x2) teams.

Here’s a basic breakdown on each of the leading COVID-19 immunization options: Pfizer/BioNTech How it works: The Pfizer shot is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine, which essentially sends instructions to our cells that teach our immune system how to fight the coronavirus. Efficacy: 95% against symptomatic disease Dosage: Two shots, 21 or so days apart How well it works on COVID-19 mutations: It holds up. A lab study looking at the blood of vaccinated people found the vaccine may be slightly less effective against new variants like the one discovered in South Africa, but it still protects people well. Of course, more evidence of the shot being put to the test in the real world is necessary to validate those findings. How easily it can be tweaked to target new variants: Piece of cake. The vaccine can be changed in a couple of days, Ogbuagu said. Pfizer is already working on a booster shot against the mutations. The bigger question is what sort of testing and approval process health officials would require — that’s where there’d be delays. Side effects: Most people will feel pain and soreness in the arm where they get the shot. Up to half of people are expected to experience flu-like symptoms such as chills, fatigue and headaches, more so after the second dose. But that’s just the immune system doing its thing. How it’s stored: These mRNA vaccines are finicky, and must be stored at subzero temperatures (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit) in freezers. Availability: The phase three trial was completed in winter 2020, and the vaccine is now being distributed to the public through emergency use authorization. Takeaway: This was the first vaccine that was approved and rolled out in United States, and the Biden administration has already purchased 100 million more doses. “At least a third of the U.S. population, roughly, will receive the dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and so definitely it will be a major contributor to curbing the epidemic here,” Ogbuagu said. Moderna How it works: Like Pfizer, Moderna’s vaccine uses mRNA technology. Efficacy: 94.5% against symptomatic disease Dosage: Two shots, 28 or so days apart How well it works on COVID-19 mutations: The vaccine is thought to be less effective against the variant dominating in South Africa, but a lab study shows the shot can still effectively neutralize the virus and provide protection. We’ll need more data to better understand that, though. How easily it can be tweaked to target new variants: Same quick process as Pfizer. Moderna has already kicked off development and testing of a booster shot specifically targeting the variant discovered in South Africa. Side effects: Again, similar to Pfizer. Most people will feel pain and soreness in the arm where they get the shot. Up to half of people are expected to experience flu-like symptoms such as chills, fatigue and headaches, more so after the second dose. How it’s stored: These must be carefully stored at subzero temperatures (minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit) in freezers. Availability: The phase three trial was completed in winter 2020, and the vaccine is now being distributed to the public through emergency use authorization. Takeaway: The Biden administration also secured an additional 100 million doses from Moderna, so this shot will likely protect another third of the U.S. population. This puts it “on par” with the Pfizer vaccine, Ogbuagu said. Novavax How it works: Novavax’s shot is a protein subunit vaccine. It contains a small, harmless, synthetically produced piece of the coronavirus that trains the immune system how to recognize and dismantle the virus. It does not contain the actual live virus. Efficacy: 89.3% against symptomatic disease Dosage: Two shots, 21 days or so apart How well it works on COVID-19 mutations: Pretty good. Its efficacy is around 85.6% against the variant identified in the U.K. and 60% against the variant found in South Africa. How easily it can be tweaked to target new variants: Easily, according to experts. The Novavax team is already developing a booster dose targeting the variant found in South Africa and hopes to test it out in a few months. Side effects: Mild pain and tenderness where the shot is given. Some people may experience fatigue, headaches or muscle aches. How it’s stored: Basic refrigeration, which is plus. This makes it easier to distribute from a logistical standpoint. Availability: The phase three trial concludes in a few weeks, but it may take a couple months before the data is finalized and submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval. Novavax expects to be vaccinating people by May or June. Takeaway: “It will be a welcome addition to the arsenal of vaccines,” Ogbuagu said. It’s a little less efficacious compared to the mRNA vaccines, but then again, this shot was up against new variants, Ogbuagu said. Others were tested in trials before those became more dominant strains. Johnson & Johnson How it works: This type of shot, called a viral vector shot, uses an adenovirus (the type of virus that causes the common cold) to teach our bodies how to identify and fight the coronavirus. It does not cause you to get COVID-19. Efficacy: 66% at preventing symptomatic disease, 85% at preventing severe disease, 100% against hospitalization and death Dosage: One dose How well it works on COVID-19 mutations: Well, but overall efficacy does seem to drop with variants. The vaccine was 72% effective in U.S. trials, 66% in Latin American trials involving the variant that’s dominating Brazil and 57% in South Africa, where the B.1.351 variant has taken hold. Even so, it still provides protection against hospitalization and death. How easily it can be tweaked to target new variants: Changing viral vector vaccines isn’t *quite* as simple as modifying mRNA vaccines, but it’s still a fairly easy process without a super long timeline, according to experts. Side effects: A small percentage of people (9%) reported having a fever. Others experienced the typical symptoms: fatigue, headaches, muscle pain and injection site pain. How it’s stored: Basic refrigeration Availability: J&J plans to submit the rest of its safety and efficacy data to the FDA early this month. From there, the FDA will review the data, and if it grants emergency use authorization, people may begin receiving it later this month. Takeaway: This one-shot dose could be a game changer for vaccine access and distribution. “That’s one of the wonderful things about it, that it can get to remote and rural areas. Also, this means it can be given in doctors’ offices without having to worry about all the storage [requirements],” said Daniel Fagbuyi, an emergency physician who served as a biodefense expert in the Obama administration. Oxford/AstraZeneca How it works: Also adenovirus-based, the AstraZeneca vaccine works like the Johnson & Johnson shot. Efficacy: 70% against symptomatic disease Dosage: Two doses. In studies, the doses were given between four to 12 weeks apart. How well it works on COVID-19 mutations: It appears to work just as well on the variant detected in the U.K., but data is still being collected on how effectively it protects against the variant identified in South Africa. How easily it can be tweaked to target new variants: Similar to Johnson & Johnson — slower than an mRNA, but still speedy. Side effects: Pain and tenderness at the injection site. Fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, chills and fever have also been reported. How it’s stored: Basic refrigeration Availability: The phase three trial was completed in fall 2020, and the vaccine is now being distributed in the European Union through emergency authorization use. It’s still being trialed in the U.S. and may not be approved for authorization from the FDA until the spring. Takeaway: The inexpensive cost of this vaccine along with its basic storage needs give AstraZeneca a big advantage. It’ll be easier for more health care providers to have the necessary supplies and get the vaccine out into the population, Fagbuyi said.

With a health Collaros i see Kenny as a 1000 yard guy this season.

Man only two left that could be filled a secondary spot and a DT spot.

CALVER, Brandon N LB EXUME, Kerfalla-Emmanuel N DB FEOLI GUDINO, Julian N WR GRANT, Janarion A WR LATOUR, Maxime N LS LYLES, Chris A DB MEDLOCK, Justin A K MILES, Thomas N LB PETERMANN, Daniel N WR REMPEL, Chad N LS RICHARDSON, Steven A DL RUSH , John N LB WHITEHEAD, Lucky A WR There are still a couple of players I want to see re-signed. Fingers crossed.

Lawler re-signs one year with the Bombers. lol Damn auto correct

Hopefully with the Bombers 🤞

I think there was interference on the play......and I am pretty sure the refs would still have upheld the goal. Great save but he almost blew it by failing to freeze the puck and letting it squirt out by his stick. He had buried his head and had no clue the puck was still loose. Good on Lowry for picking up the puck and dumping it out. Overall a really nice game from Brossoit, and Forbert had been playing it simple and steady for the most part.

Only 404,948 ahead of me, so 😛

Trump's ego and self-image are so fragile that he cannot admit having made any mistakes whatsoever, nor can he conceive that anyone else could have a better or even alternative viewpoint. He sees himself as so brilliant that if there is any resistance to what he wills, it is egregiously illegal and unconscionable. His father has done a helluva job in creating a Hitler clone.

I thought he had played in Hamilton too. I guess when he's cut prior to September, he will get that chance.

As much as I hate Lindsey Graham, this whole trend of "look at this picture of person X with person Y!" needs to stop. Something as simple as a selfie at a book signing can get taken completely out of context. Edit: I am not suggesting that is what happened here but pictures on their own are not enough...they need to be provided with context is all I am saying.

Told you there was never any fear of losing Lawler unless NFL came calling

If I'm reading the tea leaves right, seems like the Bombers were waiting to see what happened with Burnham before they made their play at Lawler. Wouldn't know how much money is available for KL until they knew if they needed to pay BB....

no mention of Brossoit's phenomenal effort on Gaudreau's shot at the end (to come out and challenge that far, taking away all of his targets) and Forbort's volleyball save, on a puck that went up and over Brossy and might have faleln in the net if he hadn't batted it away. Two absolutely crucial, game changing plays...

Kenny had me worried there for awhile....glad to see him back in the fold....He knows a winner...great news

Washington, DC -- United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will join the United States Senate Committee on Finance in the 117th Congress. She also announced plans to introduce legislation implementing a wealth tax on fortunes over $50 million. The Finance Committee's jurisdiction covers taxation and revenue policy, including oversight of the Internal Revenue Service. The senator's legislation reflects her 2020 campaign proposal to impose a two cent tax on every dollar of individual wealth over $50 million, with an additional surtax on every dollar of wealth over $1 billion. Warren will remain on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and the Senate Special Committee on Aging. https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-to-join-senate-finance-committee-will-introduce-wealth-tax

All in plain site since day one of Trump's tenure. It's suffocating and maddening to watch.

Lose a challenge, give them a power play right after a goal.

Dubois.

I doubt those knuckle-dragger denialists at NTZ will hold up their end of the bet, much less acknowledge reality. Best part of that article:

Fox and all the alt right media don't want to relive what their God did, that's why most of the Republican Senators don't want any witnesses and the lawyers don't want any video.

100% on brand. Seriously... WTF is wrong with Fox?

Dyslexics untie

would love to see Stanley go "Full Buff" on Tkachuk. Absolutely tune that little POS....

That's seems unfair. He would be ineligible to win ROTY, but they can still call him a rookie to keep his salary down.

Booch called it!! really happy with this signing. Lawler & Woli could be thousand yard receivers if we open up the passing game.

Unfortunately, I think you’re 100% right. That angle really shows the interference was fairly obvious, but I have no faith they would have overturned the call. But I also think you still need to challenge, even though I understand why he didn’t.

Lol haven’t posted for a while. Still a bit rusty 😉

Yup and not to mention how wide open Gaudreau was open on the play. Knowing the Flames had an extra skater on the ice but jeez wouldn't Gaudreau command a little more attention and awareness of where he is on the ice.

I'd like to see Harkins on the third and Perreault on the 4th.

Copp-Scheifele-Ehlers Connor-Stastny-Wheeler Perreault-Lowry-Appleton Harkins-Lewis-Vesalainen Beaulieu-Morrissey Forbort-Pionk Stanley-DeMelo Beaulieu on the top pairing? I know DeMelo has had a few struggles, but Beaulieu?

Oh wow... this is what happens when the company they been slandering AF gets serious with litigation and your legal department steps in and has a blanket statement written up- just in case. ****'s too funny. And @ the very end, the news guy just gets on up and walks off... this clip is brilliant.

Winnipeg General in the year 19--......I will say I went to high school with Bachman back in the day...that era...Should have listened to Randy and grabbed a guitar like he suggested...I think it's too late now.. lol

That headline. Now I have to read this article.
