2024-2025 CFL (non-Bomber) off-season discussion

[Pigskin]

Rough start for the OL in Regina.

Hey... what about now with Philippe Gagnon's arm sliged up?

Please answer the 5W's, I can't imagine what you're trying to say.

He was making a jibe that SSK OL depth went from nice to dire overnight.  As Ridermania said, Gangon got a booboo that puts him out for months.  Add that to McEwen already out the season and it looks like more of the usual OL woes for SSK.

And I'm assuming Yoshi is fine already, otherwise they'll really be in doodoo.

So they re-signed Zerr after releasing him a few days ago.  (Paperwork person in the office is like "really?".)

P.S. Don't tell SSK, but Rice is still available.

You have to wonder how nervous Harris is in Sask. He's somewhat fragile in his old age. Their best hope is to keep his jersey clean. They are still a playoff team though. Pretty excited to see how this season unfolds.

It might be a bit odd seeing Andrew Harris on the Riders sideline.


Trevor... last season, now and then he ran the ball when there was an opening.

I hope he doesn't do that... each time he did it I was wondering if he would get up.

Can't say I've ever heard of Philippe Gagnon before but I see he's had a long career with the Als.  Much like Yoshi probably trying to cash in on his last few years and it seems Sask. still likes to collect players well past their due date.  Won't be surprised if they sign Chungh as his replacement.

Where you been? He's played 106 games over 8 seasons. I'm not sure if Chungh is going to play in 2025.

It's kinda the same with Zach.  About the same age, and, though in different ways, they are both possibly one hit away from retirement.

That's why I don't wish bad things on T.Harris, because we're all in the same boat.

On the bright side, both OLs kept both QBs pretty clean(ish) in '24.

I forgot Chungh already.  Ya, so he's out there.  Rice.  Etc.  There are few choices for teams needing an injury replacement.

I think Chungh is holding out for big money (matching his prev contract) even though he's probably worth a chunk less now that he's on the down slope.  Some team will get desperate enough to pay it.

Ya, Gagnon is mentioned many times in every TSN broadcast he's playing.  However, if you only watch Bomber games, you may have missed him.

Gotta watch 'em all!!

Edit: It's a French name, so the spelling you read in your head may not match what you've heard on screen.  It's: gan-YAW (with a little n sound with the W).

Can confirm the pronunciation.  I am also a Canadian of French descent, and my name is very similar, and pronouced the same way.

No more compressed air-horns at Alouettes games 

Translated
There will be less noise at the Alouettes matches at the Percival-Molson Stadium, regardless of the spectator's fervour. These will no longer be allowed to bring compressed air horns inside.

The Montreal team changed its code of conduct for the next campaign in April, starting with the preparatory game against Ottawa's Red and Black.

Previously, the code of conduct on the team's website simply indicated that "the use of instruments producing too many decibels and whose volume disturbs viewers is prohibited".

The wording has been changed in recent weeks and it can now be read that "the use of instruments producing too many decibels and whose volume disturbs the spectators is prohibited. Compressed air trumpets, megaphones and other mechanical noise instruments are prohibited".

Chungh has always been a nasty piece of work. I understood his longing to be in B.C. but I wish he'd stayed a Bomber. It would be so weird to see him as a greenie.

Yeah, I dunno man, the bad memories from 2024 just came flooding in ... Streveler getting his knee completely mangled by Miles Brown, Zach getting the end of his finger torn off in the Grey Cup game, a perplexed Chad Kelly trying to put his broken leg back together, Fajardo, Harris, Brown, etc.
