No Surprise

yeh generally if a bonus is involved the guy is there for the year....And you can sign a futures, or a regular contract now...Futures are more if they on the fence, and over course of off-season they find something better suited, and they just cancel the futures... Tho I am not ZC my sources indicating to me that a BA announcement be forth coming and likely the next one we hear about....or one of next 2 as I think 2 are pretty much done

Goes against his principles? Yet, will take a heart transplant? Truly the stupidest people.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but Bombers signed former NFL corner 6’2” Donovan Olumba been with the Ticats before as well

Michael was a good one......adios and hope you make the fire dept.

It's one thing to turn down all medical treatment but to pick and choose certain treatments over "principles"? What sort of cocktail of medicine do you think you need to take for your body to accept a heart?

It would excell in the CFL....Just waiting for a new outside the box thinker doing it up in Canada to be honest....the game here truly would have a TE offense where u use him as a playmaker flourish

Never understood why teams don't try it more. I think think of impact a guy like Mike sellers had, and he did more catching than rushing. Could absolutely be a thing the way cfl offenses operate now.

One of the toughest QBs I've ever seen,had his ass handed to him behind that garbage o line in BC,way more talented than what he showed in BC. I wonder without Reilly now that Burnham really looks at Winnipeg as his landing spot??

It's so obvious (other than being high on coke) that he wants to be his dad. I bet he practices his word inflections with the mirror he did his blow with. You most definitely have to be a specific type of person who thinks to themselves and says out loud 'now there's a guy who knows what he's talking about'.

Ok, maybe a name change to something more dignified, like "Sir Osis of Liver".

The tragedy I was referring to was the ordeal waiting for his soon-to-be widow and the children involved. Kids growing up without a Dad do suffer for that., and widows typically suffer financial as well as emotional hardship. For her, I cannot imagine the inner turmoil she is going through from the realization that her partner chose to die rather than get a minute jab and live with her and the kids.

You must've been in university forever

There's a lot of drug-addled rockers who don't go off on racist tirades. Don't let him off so easy.

Kyle is up. https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/01/24/kyle-walters-january-24-2022/

Kate Bierness & Sanchez were the problem. They tried to be a stand up duo at a comedy club. The You Got Screwed & the segment where they all had those paper face masks of Trevor Harris? That was almost as embarrassing as the Glen Suitor halftime interview with Keith Urban.

Slow Hand more like Slow in the Head

I may have missed it mentioned here but Mike Benson re-signed today. Long snapping was discussed last week and we have an answer now.

Agreed. I was meaning it more that even though he is being a selfish jerk, it worked out that someone else was helped through the situation.

Might want to read this story on him. I think he was always just trying to do the best for his family. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/prescription-for-resilience-coping-with-covid-1.5892248/how-faith-and-family-helped-cfl-player-henoc-muamba-cope-after-losing-his-mother-in-law-to-covid-19-1.5899399

There was nothing selfless in his actions... he didn't give up the heart to someone else- he was denied the heart because of his selfishness. Sorry to knit-pick, I just wanted to point that out.

Pfizer Begins Clinical Trial For Omicron-Targeting Vaccine Pfizer has begun a study comparing its original COVID-19 vaccine with doses specially tweaked to match the hugely contagious omicron variant. Pfizer and its partner BioNTech announced the study on Tuesday. COVID-19 vaccine-makers have been updating their shots to better match omicron in case global health authorities decide the change is needed. Omicron is more likely than previous variants to cause infection even in people who’ve been vaccinated, but it’s not yet clear that a change to the vaccine recipe will be ordered. Among the issues regulators are weighing: Some of the first places to face an omicron surge already are seeing the mutant wane — and there’s no way to know if the next variant that arises will resemble omicron or be totally different. The original vaccines still offer good protection against severe illness and death. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have made clear that adding a booster dose strengthens that protection and improves the chances of avoiding a milder infection. “We recognize the need to be prepared in the event this protection wanes over time and to potentially help address omicron and new variants in the future,” Kathrin Jansen, Pfizer’s vaccine research chief, said in a statement.

If we are to buy into the rumours that the BB are interested in Streveler (at non starter $), I would think that signing Woli wouldn’t be a bad enticement.

So much for universal health care. Man, i would love to see a class action lawsuit on behalf of people who died or had surgeries postponed in the billions for all provinces & Ottawa. Politicians like Kenney, Moe & Ford who cut healthcare should be financially be responsible. They & their governments should pay.... financially. Not tragic at all. It's just plain stupid. Selfish prick won't ever watch his kids grow up. I sympathize with the family unless they're all like him. I certainly don't sympathize with the guy at all.

Who was our kicker in 2010? Joe Mack was GM & LaPo was HC. Justin Palardy was our kicker & he hit 86% of his FG's in 2010. He played in the CFL until 2014 & retired with an 81% lifetime FG average. Only missed one extra point his entire career. So, as much as I think Joe Mack was a terrible GM & LaPo makes strange personnel decisions, I'll give them both a pass here on Paredes.

I don't agree. Not every wide receiver runs a 4.5/40. You need good size at TE to be able to block & then slip out to catch the ball. As a guy who coached HS I saw kids who had lots of potential to play TE. Good size, speed & hands but there was no point as a big kid would be moved to defense if he played junior ball or U Sports because the CFL doesn't use TE's. So, we never used TE's either. The CFL just throws a Canadian fullback out there to block but never catch. If they bring back the TE in the CFL, you'll see the change go down the ladder to HS & community football & we can start developing some promising Canadian players. Nothing will happen until the CFL makes a change first. That is great news about Alexander!! We need our receiving corps back. I really loved that group as they were the best in the CFL.

Young Father Denied Heart Transplant Because He Refuses to Get COVID Vaccine A 31-year-old father in need of a heart transplant has been bumped from the transplant list at Brigham and Women’s Hospital because he won’t get vaccinated against COVID-19, CBS Boston reports. “It’s kind of against his basic principles—he doesn’t believe in it,” David Ferguson told the news outlet of his son, DJ Ferguson. The father of two was at the top of the transplant list until he was removed over his vaccination status, his father said. It was not immediately clear why he was in need of a heart transplant. The hospital released a statement explaining that the vaccine requirement is standard policy, as the jab creates “both the best chance for a successful operation and also the patient’s survival after transplantation.” Arthur Caplan, the head of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, put it more simply: “Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off. The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving.” Young Father Denied Heart Transplant Because He Refuses to Get COVID Vaccine (thedailybeast.com) (I suppose this was inevitable and has probably happened already without announcement. But it is tragic and very very stupid)

$120,00-$140,000.

Lenius is on a futures contract. Basically an invite to maybe come to camp if we can't find someone better beforehand. Guys like Lawler on their 2nd go round in THE LEAGUE don't tend to jump at futures contracts. It's quite possible they offered him one and he is trying to get some some form of actual money instead. You gotta have the right guy, and those guys are in big demand in the NFL. Just hard to find really. I mean a team took a flyer on Lenius for cripes sakes, and I would bet big dollars they told him to get back to TE weight.

Talented musician. Garbage human.

Eric Clapton Pushes Bogus Theory Vaxxed People Are Under ‘Hypnosis‘ In a YouTube interview with “The Real Music Observer,” Eric Clapton spouted a discredited theory that’s made the rounds in anti-vaxx circles, claiming people have been getting the COVID vaccine because of “mass formation hypnosis.” The nonsense theory posits that people only get vaccinated because they’ve been hypnotized through “subliminal advertising.” As reported by the Daily Mail, Clapton said he became a vaccine skeptic after experiencing severe side effects from his AstraZeneca COVID treatment. “I should never have gone near the needle,” Clapton said. “But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone.” The 76-year-old musician also discussed his 2020 anti-lockdown song, “Stand And Deliver,” which is a collaboration with Van Morrison. The anti-lockdown song includes the lines: “Is this a sovereign nation " Eric Clapton Pushes Bogus Theory Vaxxed People Are Under ‘Hypnosis‘ (thedailybeast.com) (This is your brain on drugs)

In somewhat surprising news, Reilly's hats have agreed to stay with the club as offensive consultants.

https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/01/24/415848/ If you'd like to read Our Man Tait's piece on it....

I'm always a little skeptical about 6'2" DBs that aren't in the NFL.......but you never know. I trust our scouts.

Did Hamilton release him to pursue an NFL opportunity? Could be a good fit here. Great signing!

Honestly, this is one guy, I don't care to hear about. It's all about Henoc and leave it at that!!!!

Henoc surprises the league and decides to NOT test FA. Reups in TO

FA window to talk with other teams opens January 30th, I believe.

Not so much in the WSF, he went 5 for 8, missing from 48, 35, 44, final score Riders33 Stamps30. Ouch.

Great articles. I sure hope this is the last off season of strictly one year deals. It's crazy.

Likely the toughest warrior we have watched in the last decade or more. Hated him as a non-Bomber but always respected hi desire and competitive spirit. The man embodies heart.

Reilly is a loss for the league. Shame on BC for allowing him to get his ass kicked so much.

I recently did this. Have I made a mistake?? Should I start looking for appropriate sized barrels to replace the clothing I’m going to have to sell?

https://3downnation.com/2022/01/24/elks-re-sign-rb-james-wilder-jr-will-be-vaccinated-by-training-camp-report/ Looks like flexmaster bicepspump will be back to strut his stuff after every 5 yard run. And will be vaccinated. This may as well be back 2 back champs news because I love watching our defense eat his lunch and make him pout.

US democracy vibe:

Just keep crossing names off the list.

Sad to hear, but nice to see that a piece of him lives on here.💕

Hey headline writers and ‘journalists’, quit labelling anti-science drivel as ‘controversial beliefs’. Call it what it is. Stupidity in a vicious cycle of creation and sharing driven by entitlement and no sense of social responsibility.
