I absolutely 100% believe there are mercs all across the league here for pay and film, the reality is we couldn't have a league without them, I totally accept that

That's a tough life lol imagine doing a job you hate

This is fair, I have always been of the opinion the CFLPA awards were the 'real' awards, the closest to perfect you could get... maybe they still are, but ya the cracks were showing this year for sure imo

Yep and he got a lot of press too. Didn't have to play the Bombers either. He was the QB of the top team in the league. Collaros was the best QB in the league.

Honestly I have no explanation for any of this when Kelly can get more votes than Collaros

Worried about our punter/kicker situation a bit... I hope we aren't rolling the dice on a winner emerging from a new crop of Globals.

That's a shame, current players could be the best judge of talent, if they cared to be... but I could see that being the case tbh... No throwing darts, just go with the names you know, or the names getting the spots on Sport Center... it's not that hard to believe now that I think about it

Other 2023 CFLPA All-Stars: Demerio Houston... Mathieu Betts... Marcus Sayles... I read somewhere these guys are all overrated. I tend to agree the players are more reliable than the media when it comes to player awards, popularity and reputation should be less of a factor. And yet...

I also said Kelce didnt belt Reid so I guess we agree! He led the team with 9 catches and almost 100 yards. Leaders lead? He was literally the leader and players do their talking on the field. But you're right, who cares what I think... what any of us think. KC loves it, Mahomes loves it, Reid loves it... bet TSwift loves it too.

Belted? Not really. I get jostled harder than that in the Costco checkout line at Christmas. It would for sure look a lot worse if they had lost. Instead Kelce lead his team with 9 catches and 90 something yards. His catch and run on the tying drive was clutch. Kelce was mic'd up, I suspect we get to hear what he said soon enough. Doesnt sound like anyone in KC is upset. Mahomes even pointed to that moment as representative of the team's drive and desire to win, and said "everyone loves it"

Mahomes pulls a Chad Kelly and rips a run up the gut leading to the win KC goes back to back

Haha yep my first thought as well, 2020 was a weird year to be a graduate looking for your first pro team during COVID, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now

I read that Ivy went straight from player to coach when he graduated, I like to think that speaks to his character and/or football IQ

I know some KC fans, but I played as the 49ers in Tecmo back in the day so I'm sticking with them. Ride or die!

Has Thiadric Hansen re-signed? He was a pending FA, and as much as I love cheering for the guy... he wasn't the same when he returned. Maybe another off-season of recovery does him good and he returns to form, would love to have him back and healthy. Best Global in the brief history of the program, hands down.

Hamonic taking the Bombers to win tonight 😂 St Malo boy

I firmly believe (but can't possibly know for sure) that if we started a guy like BOLO or Ambles over an injured Schoen and still lost, many here would be saying we should have played Schoen as he is better at 70% than those guys at 100%... and imo that's probably even accurate. Many here, myself included, were lead to believe that Schoen was only nicked and could have played through it if he needed to. Imagine the outcry if Osh benched a "nicked up and ready to play if he needed to" Schoen and then we still lost... the horror Fwiw, I do remember Schoen saying that he was surprised he got the go-ahead to play, and to me that says a lot. The staff, all of them not just Osh, had immense faith in him when it seems they should have known better. Mistakes were made on and off the field.

Ah yes, right you are!

Losing BOLO will bite us in the ass about as much as losing Danny Vandervoort did... not the least bit. Canadian receivers... ick.

We gave him a chance to be a star but technically BC brought Lawler into the league Not that it really matters, he's ours now

Well well well, Lorne... you come crawling back. Good for Shane. I hope his monologue is just gloating for 10 minutes straight

Yes I'm eager to hear the lineup this year, but honestly just give me practically any three Canadian 90s rock bands and I'm almost guaranteed to go. Bif Naked, I Mother Earth (one of my all time faves) and The Watchmen has been my favorite lineup so far, that night set a pretty high bar.

True story. It's rare that any team in any sport becomes a perennial contender like we have. I've said it before: these are the good times! How will people cope when we eventually and inevitably come back down to Earth and are once again scrapping for that last playoff spot where anything can happen if we just believe?!?
