Watching the Saturday (Mar 25) XFL game and Kelvin McKnight had a great punt return (1Q9:53) for Seattle. I'm like, "hey, that's a Bomber!". He would have been gone but his clown blockers didn't actually block. They interviewed him after the play, as XFL does, but he (and the chyron) didn't mention the CFL. Boo

I'm pretty disappointed with the XFL. It's pretty boring. I'm watching less of these "other" leagues this year, that's for sure.

P.S. Finished that DT Winter Bomber show and it was pretty fun. Kenny is stoked. Hearing from that EDM commentator was interesting, too.

I was thinking the same thing, but I guess it would be embarrassing for the XFL to mention McKnight, who had a number of very good returns, struggled to make a roster in the CFL.

Will Likely tried the CFL but couldn't crack it in 2018, 2019, but is now the top punt returner in the XFL. McKnight is #2 kick returner, #4 punt returner. No mention anywhere of CFL...

It is interesting that with all the talks between Dwayne and the CFL, even the most brief mention that the CFL exists or has played a part in any of the players or coaches lives, or even Dwayne's, is kind of surprising.

About 1.5 months until the PS game! We're getting close! My son keeps asking "when does football start"? And he pretends to not care too much. I may have created an IGF-4-lifer...

Weird, the forum is dead as I've ever seen it. We yacked about more back when our team sucked. Nice to be on top, but it's not as interesting.

This is easily happening on the Hfboards Jets forum page. Less people in general still come on these pages still. It is not just a CFL or Blue Bomber thing. The other forum seems to be thriving as well.

That is a great CFL recruitment video and a great promotion for Winnipeg and the Blue Bombers.

Thanks gobombers who was the happy gold guy in the winter? lol That was from last Western final pre game at the stadium.
Great video! No reason the Blue Bombers cannot attract more top talent.

Great video. Couldn't get Kongbo to do a bit? Any others? What about Desjar... maybe not a good sell since he didn't last and/or defected?

I think the "didn't last" guys can be part of the sell, too, because the CFL earned them their NFL shot. So it didn't work out, but they had a chance. Lots of those guys... Bighill, Willie(?)...
