Yuup. I am mainly concerned about losing a guy like ayers/Jjones for kyrie. But I'm preparing for it, I know there is gonna be at least one guy let go that would be better to keep. I hope it isn't too brutal. 

85+ starters? How can we be so blessed? 

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?

this is a great idea... but it sounds expensive... CFL isn't exactly flush with cash

Think of the baseball league the Goldeyes play in.  Would be like that.  Pay guys $750-$1000 per game for 6 games.  The real draw is the ability to get film and for the teams to get a better look at guys who are those 5th-8th round picks, undrafted.  Keep them active so there is a pool of guys ready to go.  Also coach development.  If they played early enough could even get some coaches out who are working with U Sports programs.  
Probably $3-$4 million a year to run the whole thing.  Use it to engage some markets that aren't close to CFL teams.  Partner with U Sports for facilities (keep in mind for Atlantic there's club football and nice facilities for that too Halifax, Fredericton, Moncton).

Cam Peterson is a 6’5 280 dt from southern, parts of 2 seasons had 50 tackles 4 sacks 9.5 tfl. 5.54 40 was disappointing, but 34” vert and almost 10’ broad is good. Played 3t-4i which fits well with what we do. Kicked around the nfl work outs/camps a bit. Sounds like a guy coaches really liked down there. 

I for one look forward to seeing Ballsy at PAS on May 24th, cheering on his son versus the Riders. The ironing will be delicious that day.

interesting little video. Seems like deslaurier played a prominent role. 

This has to be it, right?… they have to know he wants to play in Canada and that he’s a legit rotational piece… otherwise this doesn’t make any sense… his tweener size concerns me slightly

I don't know how much the coach enjoyed it... but it was a fun chant in Nov 2019 at portage and main

back in the day the Ottawa Rough Riders had a fan group called the SouthSiders named after the rowdier "south side" stands.  they were a hoot, good fans to hang out with, and they had some swag.
they really embraced the South thing, with Confederate battle flags, pins that looked like Confederate cavalry badges, "south will rise again" t-shirts and stuff like that. 
This was a decade after the Dukes of Hazzard aired so that stuff seemed like just harmless fun. then I traveled the world a bit and figured out it's pretty ******* serious business to a lot of people. always wondered what southern US football players thought when they looked up in the stands and saw the stars and bars waving to celebrate a big defensive play.  If they cared I hope they just thought we were clueless.
 

Damn that’s wild. Ott has always had pretty active game day fans but that’s some thing else. 
 Yeah it is, no joke in a lot of places. Going to a couple restaurants between towns with my co worker from nc and I got referred to as a northerner a bunch of times and he’d always just be like oh he’s Canadian. It’s nutty. 
 
I know plenty of guys are numb to it. Others have a us vs them thing with in their own team and fan base.
At the same time that area has seen a big change in the diversity of coaches and modernization of leadership styles. I can’t imagine what it was like in the era of guys like Jim brown. 
 
Great sharing, thanks guys I love this stuff. 

The Bombers won 2 Grey Cups and Mike OShea humbly deflected credit to his players staff and fans, this is total BS
You could barely get the guy to say a word about his MOCoach nominations when asked point blank ffs if you're gonna **** on the guy at least **** on him for his actual faults

Gagnon and McKellar were the two guys I was hoping we'd be after.  Decent already, still with some upside, should be good value.  Edmonton likely overpaid McKellar because Hervey struggles with the ratio.  McEwen and most of the others that hit the market without pre-determined destinations are on the steep decline.

McEwen for 150k seems like a great price, I'm disappointed we were either not interested or not willing to pay up
