Well said Blitz. Some nice comments from former players!

The only upsides here it seems are:
1. the bridge QB hasn't had a stellar career yet.
2. IIRC isn't Rourke able to make over US$900,000 if hangs in.

Seeing Calgary continue to bring in big bodies suggests the rebuild continues and we'll see a different team in 2024. Not really anything new with the exception of more spots open this year particularly on the O line and wondering about Hugh Thornton and Jamaal Campbell who appear to have not been ...

Flipping the channels the other night I hit the Boston news station doing a good bit on Mac Jones by two different commentators none of them mentioning Nathan Rourke even in passing. But what one guy said was interesting in speaking about the 25 year old Mac Jones graduating QB class was that 3/4 of...

What a great coach, person and role model for young coaches both as a HC and BC Lions DC where he had injured players signaling and false signaling in the way that kept their heads in the game. Although I was at the GC '94 the WDF vs Calgary produced the most thrilling football on TV I've seen. This...

The bigger issue is whether the insane members of the MAGA party will do their usual cat calling. My favourite State of the Union was Trump's when Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of his lies and rants on the podium. While it's a sad state of affairs in the USA as their country's structure makes it u...

I've been having trouble signing in lately. It seems the site was down maybe. For those wondering about Rourke staying in NE, Dave Naylor spoke to his agent and it sort of/kind of sounds like he'll be in a position to actually compete for a non PR spot. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Ja...

Hambone's post had me google "Girl Math" and it blew me away the women on X Twitter examples and who has written stories about it. https://www.sadanduseless.com/girl-math/ Jeez, some of the boy math is rough stuff from women who aren't making jokes about men: https://www.sadanduseless.com/...

RIP Brian Mulroney (March 20, 1939 – February 29, 2024) Any thoughts and memories of him? He was very popular in 1984 when he and his Progressive Conversative party won a landslide with the reason being that Canadians were very tired of the Liberal party. He continued to be very popular in 1988 whe...

Looking far more likely that Rourke won't get a futures offer from New England. I read an article today on ESPN that said the Pats are not considering trading down an taking a QB later. They are expected to go with whoever the Bears and Commanders pass on out of Williams, Daniels and Maye. All 3 ar...

Seemed that way to me but reading some comments over of RF the whole topic of "girl math" has been trending with memes etc on Tik Tok for some time now. Some of the posters said their wives, daughters, girlfriends etc have been using the term and having fun with it long before the ad. Not...

Tragic for such a young man and unthinkable sadness for his wife and family. A nice story featurinig another class person Adam Bighill on the Bombers website. Sounds like his wife has a sense of humour like golfer Adam Hadwin's wife: Dedicated to his craft and an empathetic teammate, Roh worked tire...

More than half of all CFL coaches are ex-CFL players. About half of those who didn't play in the CFL played USports football. Out of BC's staff only Rick Campbell, Jordan Maksymic, Mike Benevides and Tanya Henderson didn't play CFL or USports Football. Maksymic played Edmonton HS football though an...

I was curious about Rasheed Bailey as he had some 46 catches for over 500 yards last year which given their pass catching contingent was actually quite decent as you only have so many passes to to go around. I think he's a decent REC still at 30 as he's hardly been overworked in WPG but did get hurt...
