  1. Except he was never cut by the Riders, he was a free agent after last season.
  2. To be fair, the thread I read was prior to him signing with us... I'm sure their tune has changed now that he's with us!
  3. On RF, they were kind split on him... some liked him and hoped he'd be brought back (at the right price) and others were kind of meh. The general opinion was he did ok, even though he was playing out of position a lot due to their lack of depth. No all-star, but serviceable and they would have liked to have seen how he did with some actual talent beside him.

    How are they considered amateurs when they play for money? This also isn't the 1st time McEwen has been given the choker label... it's up to him to get rid of it if he doesn't like it.

    Problem is that they didn't report that at all. They only reported that Trump people were recorded but on who's phone? If it was a Russian line being tapped and they happened to get recordings of Trump people, that's a far cry from Trump himself being the subject of wire-tapping.

    I'm sure the draft talk will pickup once the final rankings are out & the combine has happened. Who gets drafted, signed, invited to NFL camp will also affect where players land... lots of variables still in play.

    I just quoted a post from November where I mentioned he was being compared to Fantuz. I didnt make that up, it was already being talked about elsewhere. This isn't new to anyone but you.

    So you're guessing the Bombers are targeting an ineligible receiver with their 2nd pick? Please tell me more. PS, people have been talking about Vandervoort for months.
  10. Yep, UDFA in his last year of junior. The Rangers & Canadiens brought him to some prospect camps/tournaments before the season started so there's been NHL interest for a while.
  11. Kelly McCrimmon would know Duke really well so this doesn't surprise me.
  12. Miles just signed with us.?
  13. UFC

    It was by far the best fight of the card. Even though there are other good fights, it's definitely changed my plans for ordering the ppv.
  14. UFC

    Khabib vs Ferguson has been cancelled due to medical issues for Khabib. http://www.ufc.com/news/khabib-nurmagomedov-tony-ferguson-UFC-209-bout-cancelled

    Interesting quote in that article... sounds like he wants to follow CM Punk to the UFC! At least Swagger has a wrestling background to fall back on if he goes into mma.

    Some of the Russia/Trump contact also may have been illegal (one of the reasons why they got rid of Flynn). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act

    The Bengals signed him last year and then released him as one of their final cuts. Apparently they told him to put on weight & they'd bring him back. http://3downnation.com/2016/09/14/canadian-receiver-rashaun-simonise-signs-cjfls-okanagan-sun/
  18. Pretty amazing considering his other options. The Chiefs (and other teams) were a bit hesistant to go after him because they weren't sure how long he'd want to play. Guess he's proven his doubters wrong!
  19. Same name, different guy. Our assistant ST coach is also Paul Boudreau ST coach - http://www.bluebombers.com/football-operations/paul-boudreau/ New OL coach - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boudreau

    One of the top, remaining FA's, Greg Van Roten has followed Milanovich to Jacksonville. http://www.cfl.ca/2017/02/27/former-argo-van-roten-lands-nfl-deal/
  21. UFC

    Braidwood actually had an mma fight before he went into boxing. He tko'd future UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo in his only mma fight back in 2007. It was the 1st fight for both guys and the only time Jimmo was ever finished by strikes (injury stoppage excluded). The Canadian MMA scene is pretty dead right now so he's definitely going to make more money in boxing. The funny thing is that 4 of his 8 boxing matches have been against MMA fighters.
