TJ Graham - wow, he is still working at his craft. Here is a link to all CFL rosters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_CFL_team_rosters Tonight's Calgary @ Ottawa game features a few ex-Bills (mostly just training camp guys) Ottawa 76 Landon Cohen DL 28 Javier Arenas DB Calgary: 82 Jarrett Boykin WR

I'm kind of torn between Hamilton and Toronto, and root for those guys unless they are playing each other. Quite seriously, I think they are named for the red and black plaid shirts traditionally worn by lumberjacks. When Ottawa had the Roughriders, they were named for the logging rough riders (riding logs down rivers?), whereas the Saskatchewan Rough Riders were named for the ranching rough riders (riding horses, etc.). Fun stuff.

Big slate of games this weekend: Thu 7:30 (207) SASK @ MTL Fri 7:30 (207) Calgary @ Ottawa Sat 10 (209) EDM @ BC Sun 4 (209) Ham @ TO These are DirecTV channels 207 and 209. I am looking forward to seeing some football, even with only 3 downs.

The letter O or number zero would likely be ovals. The circle would likely be hard to find.

Rest in peace, James. Hopefully, his family can find peace in the aftermath of his troubled life.

26CornerBlitz adding nothing to a topic? Hah! That's pretty funny. Who has a plan taking 3+ years? Are you just pulling this stuff out of your ass?

You may have met the one guy that "hates" Gronk at that game. Most Bills fans probably just envy having that unstoppable tight end on their team. Hate should never rationally be applied to a football player. Good Lord, there are plenty of things worth hating in the world.

Hah! Gotcha, Peter King! You probably did not think you would held accountable for that Doug Whaley remark, did you? Nice research, Hondo!

Hey, don't lump the rest of us in with #34fan on this - that opinion expressed is his own! Zay could very well be the #2 when the season starts, IMO.

Success said: "I'm the exact same way, year round. Love the Bills." Yep. I don't watch hockey, baseball, basketball. I watch NASCAR, F1, etc but not much once there is any kind of football available (CFL, NFL pre-season) Just Da Bills...

Sounds familiar!

God bless Chris and the remaining family. What a horrible event.

The kid from UB is shifty! His highlights are fun to watch.

Bill, have you seen the Brandon Reilly highlights? This kid has a knack for adjusting and finding the ball!

WTF are you talking about? I am commenting on some poster that was accusing the Bills of stealing Carolina info. You're spewing crap at me for that? BTW, I've been around TSW for 20+ years.

Some jackass (alleged Bills fan) brought this up on draft weekend, like he wanted to start an investigation. Like Carolina was the only team that scouted Zay Jones and Dawkins. Get over it.

Tougher maybe, but rather a dumb ass partying all night before the biggest game of your life. Four times in a row! Grrrrr. Brady is way better.

Tre White and the picks! Tre was a very productive player (47 starts?), LSU captain, etc. Probably a better long term bet than Lattimore anyway. 2018 1st rounder is a fabulous piece of draft ammo. 3rd rounder enabled trade-up for Dawkins. And Gilmore often sucked at tackling ("don't touch my hair!")

Yep. Lots of folks can't see past the gloom. Last year's fat ass coach didn't feel like coaching, so handed it off to the OC or to his fat ass brother (trying to revive Rob's career). I am always optimistic when a new coach comes in, but McDermott is different. I expect he will be a successful HC here for an extended period of time. I believe they got it right this time. Many posters here just whine because they never heard of Tre White or Dion Dawkins. I am excited to see what Dawkins can do. The RT position was finally addressed.

Blokes, don't you feel a more urgent need for help at RT? You leave that position to a late 6th round hopeful. I am very glad they targeted Dawkins and then found a way to get him. Some people feel OK with trading up for Zay Jones, perhaps because they had heard of him in lots of pre-draft chatter. But most fans (myself included) had never heard of Dion Dawkins before - because he was listed as OG - and I only knew of the top 5 OTs.

I have to disagree with you here. He does not seem at all like a weed user. He is very negative and uptight - nothing like the relaxed weed smokin' type of person you might expect with Bud and 420 in his screen name.

I don't think BurpleBull is going to pan out as a poster. Seems too moronic, with short attention span.

UDFA Austin Rehkow (Idaho) is rated by many as the top punter in the draft. Wow!

Major, yes indeed those are picks well spent! Some people are unable to see the value of spending multiple picks to get to a critical player. They pine for the player that traded pick could have become! Those extra picks should definitely be used as ammo when you need to target a particular player. I love what the Bills draft team are doing so far. I had not heard of Dawkins, because he was listed as a guard. Then to read his story was great. Here is the RT we have been dreaming about.
