Blue Bombers Transactions - August 17 and August 25, 2025

He's average. We need patience. Still learning his craft.

Good PR or depth candidate.

I was reading over his scouting report and was pretty impressed. Namely, he's never going to give you (the football) up and he's never going to let you (his QB) down.

Those are some very good intangibles.

I thought I was being Rick rolled

They're pulling your leg
They're hall of fame NFL receivers who have retired.

Hardy har har, picking on the guy who watches near-zero NFL.

Ok, I'll take it.  The press release was hilarious.

I'll get him back one day with a 1990's F1 reference.  Wait...

I can't imagine anyone not knowing about those NFL Hall of Fame receivers even if they don't watch NFL much. I guess they got you good.

I did not for a second think he was serious. He really doesn't know the NFL.

You got Mossed!!!!

Mmmmm .... LMFAO! Good stuff fellas.

I didn't either but kinda wondered. I thought maybe he was playing along for a laugh. lol

Wilson waived from Jets.

[Blue In BC]

Elgersma stands a decent chance to at least make the Packers PR if not game day roster. Can never be sure how pre-season success is evaluated.

Hope he doesn't come at all this year, they would just waste a year of his contract and would have to cut Wilson or Artie.  I would like to see what both of them can do before eventually cutting them loose, which is almost their inevitable fate.

I couldn't name you any NFL RECs at all, from any era.  If you did some 80s QBs I would know the names, probably.  Maybe some modern top ones too.  But RECs?  Greek to me.  Don't care at all about the NFL, I think it's rigged and inferior, even if the talent is higher.  Same with hockey.  I know zilch.  I care about hockey as much as most care about soccer.

I also couldn't name you a single pop song from the last 10 years.  Not one.  Don't care one whit about that trash.

But I could tell you anything you want to know about the last 25 years of F1!  And anything about computers/tech.  Only so much time and so much brain space.  I'm depth, not breadth.  And I like it that way!  Cheers

It's all good, Tecno. You're a bit of an anomaly. I'd hazard a guess that most male CFL football fans are jock types that would know the hall-of-famers from both leagues but especially the NFL. Jerry Rice is arguably the greatest receiver to have ever played the game and had definitely the best hands I've ever seen. Allow me to introduce you ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5rKDfmpNFg

I'm like DT, a definite nerd.  Total nerd in HS.  Strangely enough I made friends with a few football players in HS as they took the "easy A" electives I took in order to get ahead on a possible U path (economics, accounting).  Turns out the whole class was the football team plus some nice girls.  I was asked for help a lot...

And it was every Bomber fan's fave HS!  Though, well before the "famous 3" were there.

Actually, I might know a REC... Eli Manning.  Is he a REC?  I think I read that once.  Never saw him play, only remember his name because of the famous last name.  And was OJ a REC?  Maybe?  So that's 2!  Oh, and the few CFL REC stars that made it more than 1 season down south.  That's all I got...

F1 (any car racing) and golf are the two sports that not only don't interest me but actually irritate me. How does someone watch cars going in circles for hours on end?

I am sure we all have our own likes/dislikes. Would make a good off-season thread.
