Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign sixth overall 2025 CFL Draft pick Connor Shay - 3DownNation

And I just remembered that today is, indeed, Manitoba Day. God I love this place.

peeking for some info, are you? 

Elgersma signing with Packers today.

Mini camp invites with the Packers and Bills.

If there’s one player—just one—in the entire Canadian Football League who absolutely screams 'poster boy for performance-enhancing drugs,' it’s got to be Zachary J. Collaros. I mean, the sheer physical dominance, the unstoppable power, the jaw-dropping speed... it’s almost too obvious, right?

Both dole and patt will be gone in a month. 

Looks like he brought a whole pharmacy with him for the tests.

At the end of the day, put yourself in his shoes.  His son just got drafted into the CFL.  How proud would you be?  I'd dare bet most people here would even cheer for Saskatchewan if their son were drafted by the Riders.

I don’t take a deep dive into prospects too much, but I’m ok with this draft.  The only change I would have made is to draft Findlay over Smith in the 2nd round.  It will be interesting to hear Walter’s comments on Elgersma.  It seems they think he can be a bonafide CFL QB down the road.

Anyone else see that picture and wonder if the bull jumped the fence...?

Counter point: what if we just drafted the next Alex Singleton and Cam Judge?

I don’t hate it. 

For some reason my interest in the start of the season has ramped up considerably today. I can't quite get my glove on why...

Who ever they take will be "surprised he was available,  he was at the top of our board"

Some bombers visited rankin inlet, gabe Wallace included. 
 Boy, he is looking lean and mean. He was 6’6 350+ in college. Came to camp 330-340 with a decent belly still. Now he looks like a stunt double for the mountain. Doesn’t look like he just lost weight either, looks like he put on some lean mass. 
Can’t wait to see what he brings this year. 

Insulted Knuckles. Insulted the fans. Acted like a complete ******* to everybody. Thought he was smarter than he was. Terrible decisions. Lack of results. Kelly was the Donald Trump of coaches.

Remember how bad things were with Team President Garth Buchko, GM Joe Mack & HC Tim Burke? I don't think in 2014 when Miller, Walters & Osh were hired replacing those Three Stooges did we think in our wildest dreams we'd be where we're at financially as an organization. I just hope that we can maintain things for a few years yet.
Remember the RedBlacks Expansion Draft? Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins decided not to pick any Blue Bombers in the last round. He & his Asst GM guffawed at our roster & laughed & then mocked our team on TSN & passing on picking anyone. Both publicly shamed our team saaying on the broadcast that there wwasn't one player left on our 2013 roster that could help the RedBlacks. Desjardins really seemed to be enjoying himself at the expense of the Bombers. 
I was furious. It's okay for us (Bomber fanbase) to be upset with our team & we'll fight among us here but the hell I'll let fans from other teams make fun of us. Let alone an entitled & smirking  now former CFL GM. I'll never forget that as a fan. Even today, when we beat the RedBlacks, the victory gives me a bit more energy than usual. An extra jump in my step. Next to the Riders, the RedBlacks are the team I hate.

This obsession with QBs going early in mocks needs to stop.
 

Losing a 1st and a 2nd, plus a fine for finishing 3rd and losing in the first round of the playoffs. Way to go BC.
Calgary getting 2 extra picks for being incompetent is foolish.

BC forfeits their 1st and 2nd round draft picks for 2024 salary cap violations.
$350K, wow!
