Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
South Carolina Gamecocks... that brings back a memory. 2008 International Bowl at the Rogers Centre. South Carolina Vs Ball State. My Argo ST buddies and I went to sit in the cheap seats in the 500 level and had huge banners made saying "Go Balls" and "Go *****". Weirdly, they made us take the ***** one down. edit: looks like we were actually in the 200 level... I thought I remembered being in the nosebleeds. I blame the $15 beers.

IDK man. You'd have thought that the AI would've grabbed our Argo with Shield logo from a few years ago and done a rendition of that guy.

Or add to it... People would pay good money for that sort of body mod. Think of the views they'd get on the Tok.

The Lion should be a mountain lion. The Stampeder horse has 3 legs. The Alouette looks to have a jetpack... ok, maybe that'd be cool. Does that Elk have fangs? The rough rider's uniform looks anything but rough. And look at the horse's back legs planted while the front are floating... just looks off. Is that Nick Offerman's younger, butchier brother dressed as a lumberjack? And the Argo one... uh... ok, Poseidon has like, a lot of abs. But the Bomberbot is a clear homage to someone's favorite Nintendo game:

We made him a Champion and then he went to Hamilton. Lirim gets what he deserved.

I liked the part where @SpeedFlex27 quoted himself so he could regale us with his illustrious curling memoir.

Born and raised in The 6ix. Farther East each time I move. My business is on the edge of the 416/905 divide.

Speaking as a 905'er in the GTA East, I am very comfortable with Toronto not getting its full proportional representation.

2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
As a citizen of the Greater Toronto Area, I reserve the right to be maximally offensive when discussing the various podunks that the rest of Canada inhabits. I likewise will take very little umbrage over what those bumpkins think about the Centre of the Universe.

There are efficiencies and overlaps that Quebecor can exploit. It'll still be a money loser, but it can generate revenue across their platforms in different ways. Like a small scale version of Rogers and the Jays.

I don't see how what Woody said was a conspiracy theory. Pharmaceutical companies did work with governments and the media to establish lockdowns and vaccination treatments against a gain of function virus that they themselves secretly created. This isn't a conspiracy theory... it's a conspiracy series of facts. We all just lived through this. Then the media spams me on Sunday with 1000 of the same article decrying Harelson's Anti-Vaxx conspiracy... as if to prove his damn point.

Right... But since he isn't likely to be a clear #1 where he went, the point stands.

https://twitter.com/TSNScianitti/status/1628840078297505792?s=20 Talk out of the Argos is pretty much everything you'd expect right now. Maybe they even believe it, but even if they didn't they'd pretty much have to say what they are saying: -They were aware of MBT's plans for some time -They are comfortable with Chad. Chad is a Chad. Me? This is where I am right now: Like if Team Red Bull built the best car in Formula 1 and Verstappen leaves them and they just give the keys to a promising driver who has only been in one F1 race. Unthinkable.

As a #1 on a ready-made team? Weren't we?

Because they couldn't keep him and he was due a $125k roster bonus on Day 1 of training camp.

No I didn't. Was happy to be shut up by McLeod down the stretch. Maybe Kelly will make me eat my words on this one... I'd be very happy to. But I am struggling with how we put this team together that looks so ready to roll and now our presumed QB1 has less than 100 snaps in the CFL. That's beyond a head scratcher. I was just getting to the point where I felt great confidence in our GM-By-Committee and the team they'd assembled... Now IDK what is coming. And sure, Dinwiddie knows the QB position in our league very well... and by now he knows Chad Kelly very well... But you can absolutely say the same about how well he knew Nick Arbuckle when (some say) he made us acquire him.

Never would've said that you didn't... But I didn't see a Neg lister on there. So Evans goes to the Leos... Chad Kelly is our de facto starter. I don't know how to feel about this. First gut reaction is that this is no way to go about a title defence.

To be fair, we don't know that he did.

Hamilton is cutting him anyway. As it sits, they've nearly $1M in committed salary to 2 QBs...

We're also making the presumption that he wants to be an Argo. If he doesn't, it's moot. If he does, maybe he just holds out until he gets what he wants. His agent bent Hamilton over once before...

That seems a lot to give up for 2 extra off season months of a guy that they can't keep anyway... But I wouldn't be mad about it.

Never thought I'd be hoping for Dane Evans & Chad Kelly Platoon.... but here we are.
