I considered Giants in my list but given they have Jones, traded for Lock and still have fan favourite and local kid Devito just didn't think they'd do it. Having said that they seem to be approaching crossroads with Jones. Who knows about Lock. Devito as a rookie I think posted a 3-2 record starti...

Warren Moon is not a good example because it was not so much a lack of talent evaluation it was a racist attitude at the time that was a strike against black QBs in the NFL. You could say that at the time it was a belief among many that the black QBs could not command the respect and leadership tha...

The Al bot weighs in on Nathan - interestin' and funny stuff. Wonder if the Al bot has any comprehension of how former star CFL QBs have done with real playing time in the NFL: Joe Theissmann, Warren Moon, Dieter Brock, Jeff Garcia ? Nathan's CFL resume is of course vastly inferior to any and all b...

I don't know if there's something going on with Riley Pickett but BC just signed long-time veteran NFL LS Kyle Nelson. Maybe it's just a favour for Kyle's old man Mark who was on Campbell's staff in Ottawa from 2014 thru 2019 and guest coached in Kamloops in 2022. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/02...

A bit of salary cap $avings on a real good, tough D-lineman in a GC hosting season? - hmmm, interesting.

Be also interesting to know what type of coin Covington got.

Have to think Menard's release was mostly about $aving$ ? Not like he was weak last year or is an old-timer now. Why not try to trade him back to Montreal - even for a late round draft pick? - mind u, he fled Moochacha and Montreal after being their best D player in a season. If this guy is not pick...

Appears to be a true feel good story with Covington returning. I expect a lot of leadership that will benefit the young guys he will be playing with. Doesn't sound like money was an issue. Kind of thinking Daniel Joseph is going to be in the rotation with Cherry and Bemiy. Joseph has the nice resum...

This is a huge signing, and I’m not referring to Covington’s size and strength. As others have said, he and Stove Richardson can be difference-makers in the middle if they’re healthy and in game shape. Having national status as a local product from Vancouver College bolsters the CFL’s deepest natio...

DB Christophe Beaulieu of Laval at 26. We can set the snooze button or watch Canucks game. Next pick isn't until the 5th. Really nice pick where they got him IMO - all-star D-half with some superb testing #s - might be able to challenge for starting safety soon if they try him there. Provides depth...

And George Una OL from Windsor it is.

A bit surprising they went for him over Wallace of D-Duguay; but still considered a very good O-line prospect.

With the CFL draft set to begin Tuesday at 5 p.m., a number of prospects have likely fallen down the draft board due to NFL interest. Hulking UBC OT Giovanni Manu was drafted in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions , while UBC teammate Theo Benedet signed an undrafted free-agent contract with the ...

The drafting of Milton (supposed cannon of an arm but with suspect other QB skills) does seem to make it even tougher for Nathan there. Even if the Pats un-load Zappe, there is still Brissett (journeyman type) with 1st rounder Maye in the wings and another draft pick (scouts there likely to hope for...

I wasn't meaning to suggest the Lions should entertain a veteran presence / back-up receiver like Manny - much rather roll with young talent. And if it's just 6 receivers on the game roster (meaning just one back-up in Harty, or 2 if you include a KR with some receiver ability like Williams), that'...
