Standings updated with Grey Cup results.

For minor off-season Bomber news. Any significant stories or news that are likely to generate significant discussion may have their own thread created. Going to try going with the two threads again for the off season. One for Bomber news, one for CFL news. These threads should be used for general / minor day to day news, tweets, etc. A catch all for tidbits that people want to share to keep everyone up to date on the goings and comings of the league. Any news, tweets, and signings that is likely to generate significant discussion may have their own threads created.

They should make these shirts, bet they would be huge sellers.

I believe it is because it was the Jets who originally put him on Waivers. If another team were to have claimed him, they'd have to keep him on their roster for 30 days. But because the Jets originally placed Dano on waivers and Colorado claimed him from them, then Colorado put him on waivers in the same season, the Jets can claim him and put him directly down to the AHL since they originally owned his rights.

This makes no sense with the salary cap in the CFL. Every team will spend roughly the same on player salaries. Different teams will have different strategies on how they spend that money I also can’t see this philosophy for a community owned team like the Bombers. They need to be fiscalky responsible with their money to ensure the franchise is stable, but they aren’t cutting costs to line an owners pocket book. BLM will sign with either Calgary or the NFL IMO. Reilley likely Edmonton or B.C. if the money is similar.

Why not kickoff a new curling thread with this story. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/curling/curling-team-ejected-extremely-drunk-1.4910869

Exact same experience

There is a very real problem of a high number of Rider posters that come here purely to troll. There is immediate suspicion on anyone who comes here under the Rider banner, is here to troll, because over 95% that come here do just that. It is unfortunate that every Rider fan here gets lumped into that category, and is jumped on by some posters, but there is good reason that it happens. I just banned a “semi regular” Rider poster here yesterday. Turns out he had signed up with 3 accounts, one with a very insulting name. It gets so tiring dealing with the stupid games people try to play, and the tolerance level gets lowered every time.

This weeks picks need to be in by Sunday @ 12PM Standings are below:

Bennett’s been in now for the last couple of series.

Based on a quote from O'Shea, he asked for his release because he wanted to go home. If he had asked for his release and said he wanted to go sign with an opponent we are likely playing in the playoffs, I'm not sure the team would have been so quick to grant it.

I believe he is still not practicing. For sure won’t play this week. They are expecting him back for the playoffs

A win in a meaningless game won't mean anything. This game changer moniker also only really matters to some fans. The coaches will do what they think is best to win in the playoffs. It would be foolish to play Nichols this whole game and risk injury in a meaningless game for the playoffs.

Except, with this story breaking, his girlfriend would now know. So he would have to pay up AND face the music, which if all of this is true, he deserves.

A side girl. The article and claims basically said Kane pushed for the abortions and eventually offered the payout because he didn't want his actual girlfriend to find out.

PM me or post it here before the start of the game. If I do forget to change it from the selected pick after the games are played just send me a reminder. Like this post or respond to confirm you want it changed.

According to TMZ, Evander Kane is being sued for $3 Million. http://www.tmz.com/2018/10/31/woman-sues-nhls-evander-kane-claims-he-owes-her-3-million-for-aborting-his-baby/ So far this is only being reported by TMZ, so take that into account when reading this article. Quite the story if the allegations turn out to be true.

Reminder that the former Stats Can CEO resigned in 2016 after the Liberals took power over concerns about the autonomy of the department. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/statscan-wayne-smith-resigns-1.3765765 Granted this article and his resignation was about IT infrastructure at the time, but if Stats Can is going to be collecting this level of detail of data and be put on servers that are not entirely in their control, every Canadian should have huge concerns over this. Even if Stats Can had a valid reason to collect this banking information (I don't believe the data they will be able to provide from it justifies the need to do this), there is no reason for them to collect SIN, address, and identifiable information along with it. Having this information anonymized at source and reconciled to Postal Code should be more then sufficient for what they need. Have to ask what the real motivation is here. This is absolutely ridiculous and an invasion of citizen privacy that is usually reserved for Communist or Dictatorship regimes.
