Didn't like Proulx when he first became a head referee, but IMO he has morphed into the best head ref the league has.

Regardless of who sees the field Sunday, breath of fresh air that the Bombers allow players adequate time to recover and don't rush them back. It's little things like that that players want to play here.

The most obvious comparable to me is Dane Evans. Chadwick Aloysius Kelly III

I get what you guys are saying about Bailey's ceiling, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I think you're maybe overestimating the depth of some of the teams out there. There's more than a few teams that are shitty enough where Bailey would easily be their #2 guy and pay him accordingly (hell the Riders were going to do just that, and he snubbed them because he's Blue and Gold and **** the Riders)

For a lot of his career Calvillo had a wicked good OL to go with his fast delivery. The dude was low mileage for someone his age ... compare the amount of punishment he took to what someone like Ricky Ray took. Man Ricky Ray took a licking and kept on ticking. You look at QBs like Khari or Matt Nichols or even Drew Willy who faded so quick after getting beat up and then you look at Ray who was never anything less than effective even behind shitty OLs ... RR15 underrated for toughness...

I think Cole stays as he is, as he is a bit of a different player than Clements, and has been used differently in the defense.....Wilson is effectively replacing Clements who was just keeping his seat warm anyway, but is a nice depth piece to have now in case of injury to any of our starters Hansen for Mauro is a no-brainer, as they are trying to use Mauro as they did Hansen somewhat, but Hansen offers so much more off the edge, and they have used him in the inside as well with varying fronts....Mauro's other roles on defense can easily be absorbed by Cole...who is better at it anyway, and again Mauro makes for nice depth in case of injury. The big question I want to see answered, or addressed is when Haba is ready, which should be for BB....Will we put him back in place of the guy who replaced him on roster...Jackson....because if he isn't swapped back in thats just a shame, and utterly foolish and flat out dumb. If for anything he was a force when he played, and secondly gives the Jeff's the valuable rest, and limit's wearing them down right to a nub come late season and or the injury risk If we could have a solid rotation of Hansen/Haba with the Jeff's and the Walker/Lawson/Thomas trio in the middle we would so much better. Mix that in with Rose and Wilson looking like 2019-2021 versions of themselves, this defence will be mighty tough

Luxury!

Its very fitting that you use tom ******* green to rep Dane Evans 2.0.

re: Bailey.... yes he took less to be here. Said he had a hard time imagining himself playing anywhere else. There was also a quote around that time where he said that playing for the Bombers this year would help increase his value next offseason. He would have a better chance of putting up "money" stats this year that would really help him get paid next year. So he's at least thinking about being a star (or at least having a much higher profile) somewhere else... and I certainly don't blame him. I'd love to have him as a Bomber forever, but if he wants to go get paid elsewhere, that's his right for sure.

So, how much of The Chode's salary guaranteed? If it isn't a lot of guaranteed money, he doesn't live up to his contract or is a bust next year and they just let him go.

Argo's are absolutely paying Kelly for what they expect him to do, not what he has done. Personally, I think it's an overpay, but time will tell.

he had a follow up tweet saying that he's really glad the CFL never went the way of being an official development league for the NFL, and I thought to myself "That's the most pro-CFL thing Dave Naylor has ever said..."

Show consistency as a passer? Win games when the team doesn't have every 3rd week off?

I'm just glad for the guy in the shorts living in Winnipeg & trying to function in winter. I'm happy for him.

Why do I still think that even with this huge salary that the Argos will still sign all their key veterans & have money left over to raid every team's top free agent because we know they'll never be over the cap. One set of rules for them & another for the rest of us. Just business as usual. Now, what will Dru Brown be asking for as a free agent??? And what if Nathan Rourke comes back? What will he want?? Between giving nearly $300,000 to receivers, $150-225,000 to Canadian OL & now $600,000 to quarterbacks how the hell can teams still function with the salary cap at $5.5 million?? Where's the room with the salary cap to retain key veterans??? The way this league is run kis ridiculous, I tell ya.

Can't wait for his take on the 'murican response to Covid or Trump years.

Written, produced and acted by First Nations. Way, way deeper than Letterkenny, but often as hilarious. Sterlin Harjo is legit. When I was making “Reservation Dogs,” I knew that people would like it, but I didn’t know it was going to be so popular. The only thing that I can chalk it up to is having the room to fail and not be afraid of failing throughout my career, and there was the frustration of not getting films distributed. Then I had the opportunity to do a show. I looked around and said we had to swing for the fences. It was a combination of that and FX giving us the room to do that and to let me tell it with Indigenous writers. We could tell the story we wanted to tell. We could really go for it and it allow us to make something beautiful. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/reservation-dogs-sterlin-harjo-native-american-heritage-month-1235122541/

this is an absolutely terrifying DL for every opposing OC in the league... frightening. Until Osh actually makes the move of keeping Jackson over Haba, there's just no sense in getting upset about it. Pre-emptive rage is just a waste of time and energy. You can have your tantrum (and I'm not saying it won't be warranted!!) when and if it actually happens.

And because he has said he will not replace Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee if she retires (so Biden can't appoint anymore judges) she can't retire either.

A top-level hockey tournament in Europe is set to experiment with some new rules for the upcoming season. The Champions Hockey League will implement three changes involving penalties for its 2023-24 season: 1. A team that causes a minor penalty will remain shorthanded even if the opposing team scores a goal. 2. A minor penalty will be served even if a goal is scored while a delayed penalty is pending. 3. If the shorthanded team scores, the minor penalty against will end.

Is it though? That man is single-handedly responsible for so much of the average American getting ****** over... the state of the SCOTUS... women's rights, and so on... The amount of needless suffering and inequality on his shoulders... I feel no pity.

yup...crap shoot....We seen Printers...that other dude in BC who flamed out....Franklin...all world beaters and the next big thing...just evaporate....so kudos to locking him up....but the money amount could have been distributed differently....they basically payig now, for future potential...now will it get realized??...thats the question

Bailey is making under 100k....I believe under 90k....but had over 100k offers....and not just over 100k....but he chose here Schoen will need about a min 130k bump for next yr.....to put him over the 200k mark...he's going to be a 3rd yr guy next year and earning top wage....but wont be "the" top wage....as that woukd really throw the receiver market out of whack more than it is....tenure still matters JA salary alone has basically the bulk of his bump covered....and yeah you can say...ya but the we need to replace him...well his spot will likely be filled by a guy already here...Murphy/Kelly who knows even Burtenshaw...it's not like we need to "find" and additional salary on top of everything...his roster spot needs to be filed...not per say his position, and if we continue to use a Mcrae type guy, or a new cheaper import to have as a backup....so be it then...Thats a salary we already are carrying Next yr will be some transition for getting guys experience for the 2025 run, and likely Thomas...Kolo...Miller...Briggs...Lawrence...Darby...likely Neuf...Gauthier...are gone...all vet salaries.....and if Bryant does hang em up, well there is Schoen's salary right there....we always are able to retain who we feel we have to, give whoever needs a bump a bump, and still have some left to look around with, and that won't change

I wish everyone would refer to Chad by his full name ...that being Chadwick....it's so much more refined ol chaps...and all that rot

Especially since he was banging the drum for us to merge with the XFL, lol.

He's won 9 games...he's been impressive enough imo. But I'm surprised at the timing and price of the contract. The 1st half of the year was the easiest schedule in the CFL by a mile. Imo the Argos should have let the season play out a bit longer...I mean they HAD to re-sign the guy. But I think they may have been able to save a bit on the contract.

MPI senior leadership needs to be turfed ASAP after Oct 3. One screw up after another.

During any given game, I’m gonna hate the refs at least twice.

There is an old guy in our row at IGF that HATES Proulx. When he sees him on the field, he rants for the next 3 hours.

Yeh on maybe I'm remembering the second half of his career more clearly since those were the years I started with season tickets. My strongest memories of Calvillo was him absolutely shredding our zone maybe 1 steamboat out of his drop and leaving the pocket no more than a couple times a game

Zach Collaros "and I took that personally "

Can’t wait to see how the Bombers get up to play the highest paid QB in the league.

if we find a way to get both Haba and Hansen into the DL rotation this week, watch the **** out....

Love Proulx.... English Canadians think he's dumb because of how he speaks, but I think he's actually a fantastic official. Would love to have a whiskey conversation with Osh about his favourite and least favourite officials....

I always hope for Frenchie Proulx for every game... I love that guy. Crooked hat and old school accent... just the absolute best.

For what it's worth, that's pretty much all I'm hearing in the ads that they've put out so far.

Still a long way to go, but the Argos are up 19% year to date on attendance.

McConnell crowing about being the Grim Reaper while not letting Obama have his pick and then pushing through RBG's replacement before her body was even cold is all you need to know about a person he is. It's time for him and all of the old entitled trough eaters to be put out to pasture most have exceeded their best before date.

It's almost enough to make one believe in karma. The aide playing it off as reporters needing to speak up is what gets me... she knows, everyone knows something is wrong and they keep shoving him up there infront of the cameras. Pretty soon he'll be wearing shades while security puppeteers his limbs, Weekend at Mitch's style

https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/mcconnell-appears-to-freeze-when-asked-about-re-election-191901765902 Old Glitch McConnell is freezing up at pressers again. He's clearly sick and something is seriously wrong.

He’s sprinting a big but not even in pads. No chance and likely not next week either imo Maruo also made a really stupid move that is bench worthy and un disciplined on teams. We could maybe get a new punter that isn’t global lol. Iirc you can roster 3 globals but at the cost of a da

Proulx ….. don’t see many calls that are obvious blunders. Good ref.

Re: Dauphin... Mr Mike's lounge is your best place and they also have a brand spanking new brewery in town. I'm not sure the status of TVs in there yet but that would be the first place I'd check. Mr Mike's BPs Smitty's (In that order, if the brewery doesn't have TVs yet) Also, not sure it's been mentioned yet but apparently Woogie not practicing (BOO in for him) and Gauthier hasn't practiced this week so Burtenshaw likely to get back on.

Calvillo was certainly a gun slinger for most of his career. Real late he played more Ricky ray type football. But the prime ALs days and especially before that he was chucking deep taking risks and etc. 99 when he really cemented him self as the ALs qb he was tossing 10.4 yards per pass. Kari was averaging 8 when he took the same step with us. 5.1% passes go for tds in his that span Vs khari with 5.5 Zach with 5.3 Harris with 4.5 and ray with 4.4. Put that in comparison with Danny Mac who had a career 3.9. Also in that 5 year span 99-03 calvillo had a combined 1190 rush yards and 10 tds. (In an era when qb keepers on the goal line was a rarity.) ac had the second biggest career revamp going from a running gun slinging 4 WRs with 1k plus to a possession passing game west coast classic. Damon Allen being the biggest revamp imo

The New York Yankees.

No need to pace. You can just stand still while you drink. Either way, once you fall over off your feet, I’d say you’re good for that session.
