Mr Dee

I don’t know anymore than you do. We’re out of the loop. But I can’t see the compensation issue they are striving for.. Did you see Irving’s tweet?

This is along the lines of my thinking...

Of course..oh, unless they’ve been asked for something unattainable.

Nice recap of the Bomber receiver situation:

Precipitating the name change to Unlucky..

Falls in “Believe nothing of what you hear..and half of what you see” category.

CFL and the CFLPA: MAY 15 - ROOKIE CAMPS OPEN MAY 19 - TRAINING CAMPS OPEN MAY 26 - PRESEASON BEGINS Let the Bullshirt stop and keep these dates in mind gentlemen. The anxious fans are waiting, and we’re really the ones you should be aware of..

Interview with Chris Mathews - highlights: Where he’s improved: “Consistency and hard work.” “I don’t need to be sold on Winnipeg. They already have the pieces to get there.” “ He studied Nichols. Interviews and games. - He’s a stud. Works hard. Passionate and genuine.” Talked to Bauming, O’Shea, Walters and LaPo. Knows LaPo, heard about O’Shea, who was with a Toronto, talked to football buddies, hands down everybody said he was a very good Coach. "Winnipeg has been great to me. From the time I got to Winnipeg to the time when I left, that was probably the most fun football I've played in a long time.'' -CFL Notebook

If we have any money left >>>>Ackie

The Cardinals are nuts..

And the Ti-Cats continue their aggressive signings...

Like any good organization, as long as we get more Sayles-men, we’ll be just fine.

It’s negotiations- not nogotiations. Let it play out.

Yes, this signing seems to reflect the strategy that the Bombers are taking to..that is, don’t go crazy on $270,000 contracts for Free Agents. I mean, signing Bighill last May involved good timing, but the lesson was learned and the month of May may become just as important as the February free agent period.

Ya, broken down, worn out players seem to be targets of the semi-Rough*riders. Whatever excites them, right?

“Does the CFL plan to hold training camps and start the season if members of the CFLPA are on strike?” A league spokesperson said they’d get back to me and just a little over an hour later, they did. Here’s their response, in its entirety. “We are working towards an agreement that is fair to our players and our clubs. Out of respect for that process, we have no further comment.” This has been the league’s go-to response since negotiations began, so it’s hardly a surprise. There’s always the temptation to read a little too much into what is essentially a “no comment” but odds are this is just the CFL being consistent instead of camp or the season actually being in jeopardy. At this point, anyway. But by stonewalling all queries on the subject, it’s pretty clear the CFL doesn’t give a crap about what the media or the fans think and are perfectly happy keeping everyone in the dark, for the moment. The league will start using media, through leaks or more traditional methods, as soon as they believe it’s in their best interest to do so and not one second before. You could argue it’s already started. 👁‍🗨 I think I know where Drew Edwards stands..

Well, we finally got our man, and what a signing this is. A run for 1st place has not looked so good in a long time..

Wow, quite the look on these depth charts.. and they don’t include any of the recently drafted players who haven’t been signed yet. Exciting!

Interesting read indeed... “The question going into camp this year once again comes down to the ratio, which, from the Bombers’ perspective, is a good problem to have. Head Coach Mike O’Shea could start a Canadian in as many as nine positions going into the season, which should lead to plenty of competition for starting jobs throughout the month of May.”

We always practiced in full equipment and it didn’t affect me. You know, we always practiced in full equipment and it didn’t affect me. I have a point to make, we always practiced in full equipment and it didn’t affect me. What were we talking about?

Only has beans..

Ed Tait - He's a receiver and returner with 30 NFL games with the Dallas Cowboys to his credit. Somewhere, I can see Clint Eastwood asking that ‘lucky’ question.
