    Tanner Cadwallader 7th round draft pick Coach O’Shea called me shortly after I was picked. That alone was just an amazing experience,” said Cadwallader. “As soon as I saw his name come up on my phone I was on top of the world because he’s somebody I idolized since I was a kid. “He played at Guelph, which is a short drive from my place. You go through Guelph’s facility and there are these 12-foot pictures of him. I’ve got books about Canadian football that he’s quoted in… he’s such an icon and a legend. So, to have that guy calling me – even just for interviews before the draft – it’s incredible. I keep using that word – incredible – but it’s how I feel.“What I like about watching the Bombers is all of those guys seem to play with their hearts on their sleeves and they’re diehards. I’m excited to be a part of that because that’s the way I like to play.“I love the culture they’ve built in Winnipeg. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/05/05/just-love-game-cadwallader-thrilled-play-coach-oshea/
  6. Doesn’t he have to change the spelling of his name to make those cuts? Or is he vying for a job in the W.H.?

    This whole affair is book material, movie material, mini-series material, but since we’ve lived through this nightmare, who’s going to want to see it again?

    And from the same article: Trump said Sunday night that he was told on Jan. 23 that a virus might be coming but that it wasn’t of much import.“They said it very matter of factly,” he said during a town hall broadcast on Fox News, adding that the intelligence community would release more information on Monday. 👁‍🗨 And, “matter of factly”, he should be charged with gross negligence, or what will be known, in the future, as trumping the people..

    “When Coach O’Shea called me and I saw his name pop up on my phone I burst into tears with emotion. Just to hear him say, ‘Congrats and we can’t look forward enough to having you with us and we’re so happy we got a chance to pick you.’ That’s such an amazing moment. I just kept saying, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you… ‘ “And so,” added Liegghio with a laugh, “I felt like I needed to call him the next day and have more of a real conversation other than just repeating ‘Thank you’ a thousand times over and over again.” https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/05/04/almost-surreal-liegghio-excited-learn-medlock/

    A Trump administration model projects a rise in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the weeks ahead, up to about 3,000 daily deaths in the U.S. by June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times.The projections represent a significant increase in deaths. Over the past week, about 2,000 Americans died per day, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html

    One man’s evaluation...2020 CFL Draft Evaluation: West Division Breakdown and GradesBombers, like Calgary, continue to dominate these drafts. Not many high picks but GREAT value. Getting a top DB prospect, the top Kicker & several very good pieces in Dheilly, O’Leary-Orange & Kambamba. Smart drafting pays off.https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2020/05/2020-cfl-draft/

    ^^dated article...March 30^^ Some Swedes have gotten quite sick. More than 2,650 have died. The country's COVID-19 death rate is 12.3%, roughly triple that of Sweden's Nordic neighbors, Finland and Norway. The Swedish case-fatality rate also surpasses some of the hardest-hit countries: Spain (11.5%), and the US (5.9%).The actions that the Swedish government has taken are good and it perhaps makes the performance of Sweden's economy less bad than other economies,' said Jens Henriksson, CEO of the country's biggest mortgage lender Swedbank. April 23JP Morgan has forecast that Sweden's economy will shrink by less than the eurozone average, but still with a 13.7 per cent contraction in the current quarter. That compares with a projected 17.3 per cent contraction for the euro area, 16.6 per cent for Germany and 21.4 per cent for France. May 1stTrägårdh said that while herd immunity is not "an explicit policy goal" for Sweden, "you know, it's there in the mix."However, the World Health Organization warns that there's "not enough evidence" yet to guarantee people who get COVID-19 will be immune from re-infection, stressing that "no study" has yet evaluated the question. https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-coronavirus-strategy-explained-culture-of-trust-and-obedience-2020-4. May 2 👁‍🗨It will be a long time before any relevant criteria can be analyzed with any degree of correctness, and even then, each country is different with very different circumstances. I like what Frosty said “They sacrificed lives for economy, we sacrificed economy for lives.”

    Brazil is facing an extreme surge in COVID-19 cases after the government left the virus to spread virtually uncontrolled for weeks, all while the country's president mocked stay-at-home policies and pushed against directives from the World Health Organization.Bolsonaro, Brazil’s President, has downplayed the coronavirus pandemic for weeks and even encouraged protesters who pushed against lockdown measures put in place by 25 out of the country's 27 governors.Bolsonaro seems unfazed by the death toll, The New York Times reported."So what? Sorry, but what do you want me to do?" he said this week. "My name is Messiah, but I can't work miracles."https://www.businessinsider.com/brazil-coronavirus-no-nationwide-lockdown-results-are-grim-2020-5?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=sf-bi-ti&utm_medium=social 👁‍🗨Turns out Brazilian trees are not the only things that produce nuts...

    Walter’s Words on each of the 2020 draft picks: “Going in we said we really wanted to address the depth on the defensive side of the ball, that’s certainly adding some depth in the secondary, replenishing some of the special teams/linebacker body types and adding some guys on the defensive line,” said Bombers GM Kyle Walters in a media conference call on Friday. “We did that. We got what we needed in Noah Hallett in a potential starting free safety that can learn and grow back there and compete and play special teams.“And we ended with Kambamba. He’s just a good football player, man. You put his film on and he’s playing corner, which is sometimes hard to translate up here (in the CFL), but he runs and he strikes and he’s an All-Canadian at Western, which is a really good school. https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/05/01/gm-kyle-walters-breaks-2020-draft-picks/
