Britain men's curling team had a rock removed for double touching.

Obby, Harris, Biggie... all got paychecks after the Bombers moved on, but none recaptured past glory, and Shayne, bless his heart, doesn't have much past "glory".

No doubting his heart, his football knowledge, and his ability/desire to make those special ST plays, chasing down players he shouldn't be able to. But its a numbers game, and we just have too many good, young, NAT LB's on the roster, even with SG44's space open, we're still going to lose a player who was a decent draft pick after camp.

I seriously doubt another team is going to sign him at 34 yrs. old to play ST only, he'd create the same problem for them that he has for the Bombers, blocking younger Natl. talent from developing by taking a spot on the roster.  It's kind of amazing how many of these older guys choose not to recognize the end of their playing careers.

His earnings may not be as high as an employee, but once he becomes an electrical contractor the sky is the limit.

Gauthier's agent said Shayne still wants to pay.

Agree, we need to start playing some of our young LBs a little more.

We should see Shay take on some of the short yardage and goal line roles that Gauthier played.

Canada gets its first gold.

Yes, Men's Dual Moguls. Canada is fair strong in this sport.

I don't know how accurate that is. He's typically been a depth/ST guy for this team. He'll be 34 next week and with all LB pieces coming in this off-season, he seems to have become expendable to this roster.

Sometimes you gotta shake things up. Gauthier was getting complacent and wasn't getting it done.

Homan gets called for double touching. Cost the Canadian women a point.

FingerGate26 is not something I had on my 2026 Bingo Card.
