Winnipeg Blue Bombers TC 2022
Yep, players from every team are doing this (afaik). It's just about being ready when things do get settled. Players for the Bombers & Riders especially want to be ready as there is still a pre-season game scheduled in a week. If that doesn't get cancelled, they'll have an even shorter window to prepare.

If those are the only three issues holding up a deal, the CFL should be willing to work with the CFLPA. Those seem like fairly reasonable asks, IMO.

Interesting CFL personnel Nicknames
Can't think of the Hammer or Lambo/Lamborghini at the moment but the rest seemed pretty straight forward. How'd I do?

Winnipeg Blue Bombers TC 2022
I'm hoping having DT here will improve what we hear coming out of camp (main camp at least). I've seen Rider fans asking him who they should follow for their camp updates now that he's gone so I assume he was adding some value for their fanbase.

No Troypod?

Winnipeg Blue Bombers TC 2022
DT had tweeted that one of the receivers was on crutches after Day 1 - no names mentioned though and I haven't seen anything else. Might be hard to keep track of with all the new names here for rookie camp.

Rory definitely came to mind when I saw Jay Detain!

I switched to Zevia last year. A number of their flavours are great... Their root beer can easily pass for A&W's. Double post.

Riders bring back Charleston Hughes. Would have been news a few years ago but now...

2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
Yeah you have to take anything from 3DN with a grain of salt but he was at the bottom of their list (15th of 15 OL ranked). Ferguson, in his final mock draft, had him as a 7th round pick so being picked up after the draft as a FA doesn't seem too far off.

See you later Priester since he was released? Here's what 3DN had on Sanford going into the draft:

Restaurant/food thread
Pure speculation on my part but their current location has ample parking that allows them to hold BBQ competitions (as they did this weekend). The Tony Roma's location would also allow for this so I wonder if that's a reason for them looking at that spot. It would be harder to find that much room closer to downtown I suspect.

Restaurant/food thread
Do they still have a spot on William Ave in the Exchange? I went there a few times (pre-pandemic) and it was always great food.

Restaurant/food thread
Famous Dave's is pretty dead these days, from what I've seen. The few times I've been, the food has been hit or miss. I was actually at Bigg Smoak's out in Steinbach on Saturday and their food was amazing. They are also very connected to the local BBQ/Smoking community (running classes & holding competitions) so they have a decent following already. Whether or not that will translate to support for a second location is anyone's guess though.

Shocked he got up and was able (or even allowed) to stand while Chandler got his hand raised.. He was down for quite a while.

2022 NHL Playoffs
At a very early age, I learned a relative was playing for the Oilers (he played from the end of the WHA until midway through the dynasty) so I was born into it and never left. I've always cheered for the Jets against every other team too though so I definitely don't have a issue with having two teams.

Their earlier tweet has more reaction if that make you feel any better. Besides, these tweets are their reaction to the heat, not the actual cause of it. There was a lot more talk on Twitter last night when the news about the ratio proposal came out.

The USFL had to modify their plan after 1 week. The sensors in the balls seemed to be affecting kicks so they stopped using them on kicking plays. Haven't seen any updates (for better or worse) since that happened a couple weeks ago. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/04/24/usfl-changed-kicking-balls-for-week-two-due-to-issues-with-sensor/

2022 CFL Draft (CIS/NCAA and International)
Pick 56: Jeremy Kapelanski, DL from Guelph. https://www.gryphonfootball.com/jeremy-kapelanski-lamoureux From 3DN: 8. Cole Adamson, University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Man.) Far from flashy, Adamson is a gap sound run defender inside who stacks and sheds violently and is hard to knock off the ball. The six-foot-four, 291-pounder brings very little in terms of pass rush value, but he can be trusted to do the dirty work and catches my eye as a potential offensive line convert.
