Dickenson has never been the biggest spender, it goes against the Stamps philosophy of being cheap.

His approach could change now that Hufnagel's left the organization: https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/hufnagel-joins-argonauts-as-adviser-following-successful-run-in-calgary/

That's a big addition to the Argonaut's front office.

That's a projection, not a promise.

It would be really strange if the field was shunk and teams started on average, further away from the end zone. Basic math and reasoning applies irrespective of whether or not you believe 2 + 2 = 4.

Bombers now have 15 OL signed at the moment. 5 rookies new to the team.  Good. Scouring the land for candidates. Insurance if we lose some of our free agents.

Obviously not all of the newbies make it to the full TC as others are found in tryout camps etc. Regardless, we're looking for improvements.

Did Johnston say there would be more points scored?

I have only seen the promise of more touchdowns.

His claim of more TDs being scored would imply more points will be scored.

And remember: this is despite the fact his claim is unsupported and unverifiable at this point.

It's both an odd claim and a pretty stupid promise for him to make.

The goal posts move backwards 5 yards

The goalposts have been at the goal line (0 yard line) for the entirety of the CFL's existence, and are now moving to the back of the new revised 15-yard endzone.

That's 15 yards backwards, not 5.

Blue Bombers add lineman to roster

WINNIPEG, MB., December 8, 2025 –   The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the signing of American offensive lineman Tairiq Stewart.

Stewart (6-6, 300, North Carolina A&T; born: October 23, 1999, in Cleveland, OH.) signs with the Bombers after several stints in the CFL after a six-year collegiate career.

Stewart signed with the Edmonton Elks in May 2024, spent time on their practice squad, and appeared in preseason games, then had a brief stint with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in September 2024 before his most recent move to the B.C. Lions in December 2024.

Collegiately, he played two seasons at ASA Brooklyn College (2018-2019) before transferring to West Virginia University in 2020, then finishing his college career at North Carolina A&T (2021-2023). At North Carolina A&T he started 29 games at right tackle, earned First Team All-Big South honours in 2022 and Second Team All-CAA honours in 2023, and after the 2023 season participated in the 2024 HBCU Legacy Bowl.

Our FA signings have got to focus on our weaknesses, namely offensive and defensive line, and a top notch WR would be nice as well.

Improving the trenches should be Walters' top priority, IMO.

Offences will start closer to the opponent's end zone

That's a projection, not a promise.

Never thought Buck was a problem. His offence got us to the Cup a few times.

Pierce is a good OC and coach overall. The evidence is in the overall numbers (team and individual stats), even if those teams failed to get over the hump (thrice).

Losing him was evidently detrimental to the team considering how inept the offense was in 2025.

Nice to see Norris get his first title after a really strong season, and kudos to Verstappen for making it interesting going into the final race. He's an incredible talent.
Also a pretty cool aside that Stroll had the last DRS overtake in F1 history.

It was a really entertaining season overall, IMO.
