That Lulay arm is never going to be as strong as it was pre-injury (or pre-pre-injury) is it?

i dont know if thats the problem ... he didnt have a rifle before ... but with the new throwing motion he seems to not know how "hard" to throw it anymore ... he's actually overthrowing guys on a lot of passes

Interesting timing, but good on the CFL (and I know the Lions have been frontrunners as a team in this regard).

Not exactly an auspicious debut for Michael Sam last night...

WINNIPEG, MB., August 11, 2015 – After consulting with team medical personnel over the last 24 hours, it has been determined quarterback Drew Willy suffered a tibial plateau fracture, as well as a partial PCL tear in his right knee, during the club’s game in Hamilton on Sunday. The estimated earliest recovery time for this injury is 6-8 weeks.

I think there's a good chance we may see a East crossover for the playoffs for the first time.

And now hurt - Looked like he was carrying a piano on his back the entire game.

He was really quite awful wasn't he

I kinda feel sorry for Michael Sam, Matty, he didn't ask for the media circus and the distractions that came along with it, but the bottom line is that he just doesn't have the skill set to be an effective player in the CFL. With a longer, wider field, the one thing you need is speed and he just isn't quick enough. I think those 40 yard times he recorded at the NFL workout combine raised some big red flags.

Two winning teams yesterday combined for 100 points. The two losing teams combined for 25 points.

BC needs a linebacker with Solly tearing his Achilles tendon and Calgary just released Jasper Simmons after his agent ignited a twitter war. Look for Jasper to move West to the Lions den.

Yeah, we'll see, I guess the Riders and Bombers are also in the mix for Simmons.

Like the Goodyear tire guy, Simmons is going to Winnipeg.
