Final play of the first half, Rainey blocks a Boris Bede FG, Anthony Gaitor takes it to the house.

Poor lulay.. Maybe what walls needs to do is surprise JJ with starts.. Never name him and then boom play him 2 plays in.. Dont give him time to think about em game ... He played well

A dhaliwal tweet that he deleted. Probably because he definitively said in it that lulay was out for a year

Heres his "corrected" tweet

Looks like dooshbag head coach Maas has rubbed off on his players with throat slash gestures. In the end, another loss to the Stamps. Looks good on that garbage organization.

Lulay's season is done (no surprise there) and the Leos have added QB Mitchell Gale to the practice roster.

B.C. Lions quarterback Travis Lulay done for season with knee injury

The Als are a disaster...

The new commish continues to impress - Hopefully an additional bye week coincides with an earlier start to the season:

The league and the players’ union have agreed to the following two changes:

• Effective immediately and for the 2018 season, the number of full contact padded practices allowed per team once training camps have been completed will be reduced from 17 to zero.
• Starting in 2018, the CFL schedule will expand from 20 to 21 weeks, to allow athletes more time to rest and recuperate between games. The schedule will still consist of 18 games.

This means each CFL team will have three bye weeks each season instead of two.

And while it’s impossible to exactly project the precise impact until teams have submitted their available stadium dates for 2018 and a schedule is put in place, preliminary modelling suggests the number of short weeks (teams playing on less than six days of rest) could be cut by two-thirds.

CFL, CFLPA work together to deliver significant advances to player safety - CFL.ca

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think thus guy is worth the trouble, he's never impressed me at all.

Sign her Wally.

The jump at the end was most certainly way down on the list of things that got my attention in that video

Some good rule changes announced yesterday. The new commish has certainly made his mark thus far. Got to wonder if expansion to an Eastern city is coming soon.

It's the middle of September and the Stamps have clinched a playoff spot. I like it.
