April 14, 20241 yr comment_693089 Pork butts can refer to pieces that butchers set aside and sell as low grade meat. But, on an actual pig, the butt is one of the finest pork chops.

I just remember going to Safeway and buying pork butt steak at around $3.50 for like two or three meals, grilled up. Don't succumb to the pork snobs. A nicely grilled pork butt can be a great meal.
April 15, 20241 yr comment_693103 For whatever reason, I feel like I’d really lost sight of how many interesting prospects the Bombers brought in this off-season. Not too worried about the massive amounts of WR or DB, that’ll sort itself out with reps but I do appreciate some of these names … real high calibre guys being brought up here. 5 names to watch in my obviously incredibly educated opinion: WR KJ Hill, DE John Waggoner, DT Jamal Woods, DB Travon Fuller, DB Juan Lua Bonus name, I think it’s a foregone conclusion he’s QB3: Eric Barriere Bonus name if Janarion Grant doesn’t come back: WR Aron Cruickshank

He was a decent QB at a fairly high level (ACC). Started for Oregon as a freshman so just on raw talent there's something there. He just converted to receiver with Rams last year. Kind of wondering if they are looking at him in both spots....or even just QB. He must really have NFL dreams to come up here as a receiver because I have no doubt he could play QB in the UFL based on some of the guys playing there. Edited April 15, 20241 yr by JuranBoldenRules

Time to get excited for camp where we hear one good thing about a guy and then can imagine him being an all-star! Can't wait!
April 15, 20241 yr comment_693108 Pork to pigskin....gotta luv it....There's definitely some intriguing players gonna strut their stuff....Especially some of the D line signings............can't wait it's been a looooong offseason Edited April 15, 20241 yr by Stickem spelling...letter omission

Based solely on highlights my 5 rookie americans I'm excited to see in camp are WR Aron Cruikshank, OT Larnel Coleman, DE Chauncey Rivers, LB Jeremiah Gemmel and DB Terrell Bonds

Based solely on highlights my 5 rookie americans I'm excited to see in camp are WR Aron Cruikshank, OT Larnel Coleman, DE Chauncey Rivers, LB Jeremiah Gemmel and DB Terrell Bonds Specific but different reasons. KJ Hill has a very very similar profile to Austin Mack which is an exciting thought. As far as Waggoner, any Iowa defender is going to pique my interest plus all the academic and coaches selection awards in college give him a big “O’Shea guy” type feel. Fuller I followed on the Bills roster a bit and he’s a long rangy shutdown corner type, could be a productive guy up here if he picks up the nuances well enough. Lua is SUPER young (22) and didn’t even go through the NFL draft process, but he’s a versatile defender that could play a lot of different roles on our D. Finally, Woods is a guy they’ve had neg-listed for quite some time - couple that with them usually having a good eye for the DT types they like and I’m interested to see him in camp.

How do you know that about Woods? He was never on any of the negotiation list reveals? Spill the beans!
April 15, 20241 yr comment_693116 also - which player from last season who isn't in camp this year will Paul Friesen report on as "having an excellent camp"?

We'll find out I guess, although we aren't getting the heavily opinion based TC reports proclaiming the next big thing anymore.
