Others have tried (Threads, BlueSky) - Threads is closest (IMO) but not enough people using it so far to make it a viable alternative right now.

I wish those updates weren't only found on Twitter/X,

Yup, last years criticism was warranted based to his level of play last year - and deservedly so. He has clearly stepped up his game and is rightfully being lauded for it. Bennett also got roasted last year and that was also fair - if you step on the field as a pro, people should be able to expect a pro level performance. They aren't expected to be an all-star right of out the gate but they should at least look like they belong out there.

To me, Yeti is no worse than Kraken but The Mighty Ducks still tops my list for worst name.

He (and other draft picks attending their first camp) is a non-counter so he isn't taking up a spot. They'd have to drop someone else.

Leroux is already confirmed to be going back to school. He's just here for the experience.

Thankfully we still have Garcia in camp.

He did start a few games in 2021 but only due to Stove getting hurt. When Stove was healthy, Sayles was the back-up.

Yes. That's the way they like it - heads in the sand, thinking they are the flagship franchise and the team to beat.

Well that finish was not great for my blood pressure. 😂 Canucks could have won that but waiting till half way through the third to start playing is not a great strategy in game 7.

Barriere's agent probably looking at flights to Ottawa right now.

Some of these do a fine job of sounding like idiots the rest of the year, why stop now? Guy you reported on gets cut? Ok now you have some easy follow up questions (why were they cut, who's next man up? Like you said, it's low hanging fruit but they won't even bother. They used to have better coverage so what changed?

A few guys (like Bede) can and have kicked the ball through the endzone on a kickoff. The rule changes last year meant that it will be worth a point if it goes through untouched.

Or they know his appeal will probably not hold up and they need some sort of plan for the first 6 weeks (minimum) of the season. Arbuckle isn't great but he's got way more experience than Dukes does

Happens all the time. We brought 4 QB's in last year (Cooper Callis, Billy Hall, Josh Jones, Tyrrell Pigrome) who were all new to the league. Jones and Piggy only threw 17 passes between them over the 2 preseason games while the other two got released before those games even happened.

FYP - not sorry!

Looks like Ottawa has picked up Ronnie Brown. Now he can go angry tweet to their media guys. 😂

Carolina was half a period away from forcing game 7 after being down 3-0 but an epic collapse in the third period ends their season.

DB (and WR) are the least of my concerns. If a borderline starter like Parker is hurt, it just means one of the other 97 DB's in camp get more reps. Now if we were talking about a guy like Nichols, well that's a different story. I like Parker but he's not irreplaceable.

It makes sense but the same argument can be made for helmets but those are required. We know nothing will 100% eliminate concussions but if there's something that can help increase safety (without affecting gameplay) why wouldn't they try it? It looks goofy as hell but it's not my brain being knocked around so if a player wants to wear one, I'm not going to criticize their choice.

The cap also doesn't matter right now. There's lots of time to find savings (cuts, 6 game IR, contract restructuring) if they really needed to.

Yep, they definitely should but we've heard about that kind of thing before. Off-field preparation like that doesn't always rank too highly for some of these guys. One of our camp QB's (Terry Wilson) just admitted he was supposed to come up to the CFL 2 years ago but didn't have his passport in order so it didn't happen & now he wishes he had gotten it done back then.

I'm sure some probably have no clue about the ratio or why it matters that the starter/back-up are Canadian.

Using it as a hotspot is the only thing it's been good for so far.
