    Yes, he was.

    He was originally one half of the package coming to Vancouver as part of a trade with the Argonauts that sent gregarious and sometimes embattled defensive lineman Khalif Mitchell to Toronto.

    Gabe brought up Corby's retirement in the TC thread, but is it just me or are there a lot of retirements this year ?

    From what I understand, the Argos are more than happy with Cross and Dupuis. You don't need more FB/TE than that.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Interesting. I've always wondered why Commonwealth didn't get a corporate name over time; this looks like a good step forward though. The Brick also sponsors Thursday Night Football and has a long history with the CFL, so IMO it's good to see the League regaining some old sponsors.

    Probably still going to be 7 NIs only need apply there thinking - and similar deployment to last year - a NI platoon at DT (Don O, Alexandre, Steele) and a safety = 2 on D; then 3 interior O-linemen, plus 2 receivers (Watson, Coehoorn, Getzlaf, Bailey - some decent talent and experience to choose from there) = 5 on O

    Muamba was one of the Eskimos second round cuts. It's on the team cuts thread.

    Nice for the fans of Edmonton to show up as yellow and gold seats to welcome the Grey Cup champs as they start their 2016 season. The Argos had to listen to years of BS being slung at them so now it's someone else's turn. The Commonwealth Brick looks like it's about 25 to 30 thou to big at this point.

    Update there with regards to CFL team and NI starters: I wuz shocked/stunned to see the RedBlacks go with 9 NI starters in the opening game (3 interior O-linemen + Sinopoli AND last year's draft pick Jake Harty (taking the receiver spot held by import Mo Price last season) = 5 on offence; and then 3 NI D-linemen (Evans & Connor Williams at DT, plus Gascon-Nadon (replacing Capiciotti) + Pruneau at OLB = 4 on D; not only that - Ettore Lattanzio (my Beer Store buddy) got some reps at DT too, as did Lavoie at H-back, and LaFrance at RB (scored a nice TD) ! At least 12 NIs played on O & D ???

    WTF are HC Campbell & GM Desjardins thinking there ??? - they could have easily handed a couple of those starting spots to imports (a receiver, a D-lineman). And they upset the defending Champ Esks at home in doing so ? = non-gob bizzarre. ;o) Meanwhile - the Esks went with the basic 7 minimum NIs starting/playing (3 NI starting receivers is pretty non-typical now though). SUCH a "luxury" though to have 11 imports on the D - that really helped shut-down the Ottawa O and limit them to so few points. ;o)
