Looks like it's another afternoon game in LA tomorrow.

Puck drop at 3 pm here in Winnipeg.

He's a police officer in Halifax I think, and hasn't kicked in combat for 6 years.  I think he's just nostalgic, I don't see a comeback.

Oh I didn't realize he is a police officer, well he has a good career then, so I'm not expecting him to make a comeback.

When I tore my knee up they told me it would be 6 months. 3 weeks later someone cancelled their MRI and I took it. 2 weeks after that I had the knee surgery by the same Dr. who does the Flames & Stamps players. 7:15 the next morning I started rehab. Sometimes it just luck.

A couple of games on ABC this weekend. I might channel surf my way thru parts of them. More than anything just to see what attendance looks like.

EDIT:

1. Still no crowds and doesn't appear to be anybody on one side of the stadium
2. Nice early punt return by ex Bomber K. McKnight
3. Ex Bomber ( PR in 2021 and 2022 ) Blake Jackson

Level of football aside: How do some of these teams survive from a business point of view ( Orlando )? Gaurdians 0 - 6. Cue taps for their season and possibly some of their coaches. Attendance at that field has dropped from 12K to 8K for the 3rd game there.

As he said,  he dusted of his old helmet - which happens to be a Blue Bomber helmet - so only the future will tell.

First & 10: Combine Update - Ed Tait

....Tis the season for CFL mock drafts and league pundits across the land making their best guesses as to who will go where in the draft. Nobody asked me, but my best guess is the Blue Bombers will focus on the defensive side of the ball in the May 2nd CFL Draft.

A couple of reasons on that: At defensive back, Ford signed a reserve/futures contract with the Green Bay Packers in January and will get a good look down south due to his testing numbers. Two Canadian defensive backs that were on the club last year - Malcolm Thompson and Patrice Rene - were released in December, while Noah Hallett is working back from a second knee injury in as many years.

The Canadian linebacking corps features a pair of solid Canadians in Jesse Briggs (32) and Gauthier (31) returning, along with Tanner Cadwallader (25), while the D-Line has just homegrown tackles Jake Thomas and Cam Lawson....

......and, in the above article, Danny McManus (has indicated) here, the club is still looking to sign 35 players over the next few months.


interesting that they asked Cole Adamson to switch from DL to OL

It was 2017. There was a report that Bombers and Jets players, along with some politicians where jumping the cue and getting MRI's. Since then the Jets and the Bombers pay a private clinic for an MRI. Little to no problem getting an x-ray in Winnipeg.

Yes, I've seen many instances of in-Canada athletes getting surgeries in record times where it made me say "hmmm".  So you guys answered the bit about MRIs a little bit, i.e. on-premise equipment + private clinics.  But surgeries in Canada can never be private.  So how is that explained away?

And we can't say it's just all the IMPs going down to the USA for surgery, because many times we're talking about ELC IMPs and mid-level players who, if they don't have in-season USA health insurance, would for sure be using Canada's "free" system.

Glad some press was raising a stink because there clearly is a two-tier system when it comes to sports stars.  Now, I'm not totally against that, but it should be transparent, not a wink and a nod.

It's an interesting topic.

So, it looks like Justin Palardy will be back at training camp with the Bombers judging by this.

As he said,  he dusted of his old helmet - which happens to be a Blue Bomber helmet - so only the future will tell.

Both the Ti-Cats and the RedBlacks seem to be pumping out the random video material as well, Simoni even has his own show were he interviews fellow players.

I'll check them out.  The "random", "inside look" thing is really what I'm talking about.  Like stuff a MOS wouldn't want shown.  Like from pep talks, speeches to dirt and embarrassment and painful stuff.  Real life.  (Ok, maybe not quite that raw.)  That's what "the kidz these dayz" want.

The player-hosted-show format isn't really the same thing.  Neufeld was already doing that with video-calls during 'vid.  Having a legit videographer with all-areas-access @IGF (and elsewhere) is what you need.

We've done a bit of this "life" stuff when following some players around off-campus, like the Woli playing guitar segments, or the Brady getting reserve dogs segments.  But we need tons of that, not just a couple a year, and they should be shorter segments (i.e. not so much energy/crew doing it).
