I love ET's work but his reports aren't what I want to see. Like his day 10 write-up, for example, was 95% about Schoen getting healthy, 3% about Willie and Adams acting crazy on ST drills & 2% about Lofton coming back in & a handful of guys sitting out. There was nothing about who's standing out, who had a rough go, who's practicing with who, that sort of thing. Like did absolutely nothing happen that day? To me, that's a not a TC report, despite the name of the article. Blue Bombers Training Camp Report | Day 10 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

I had a Doug Brown Bobblehead probably from around 2007-2009. Recently moved and it broke during the move. Tried looking on line but had no success just checking if anyone on here would have and willing to sell,

I know I'm an unabashed fanboi, but I feel like Ed's actually been doing even more than usual this year. He's not only doing daily reports but also has weekly wrap ups with "Who Stood Out" and he's even been doing a podcast on YouTube with his take on things so far. So while I can't speak for the other outlets, Our Man Tait has been putting in a concerted effort to really cover it as well as he can.

Hi yeah, I own 3 of them. One is bloomin onion/poutine Mini donuts/lemonade Deep fried: cheese curds, corndogs, cheese cake, oreos, chocolate bars, basically anything you can deep fry I've considered a lot going to the states. My spouse is a nurse. I travel all of western Canada from june-end of September. If I left her for an additional 3 months she'd skin me lol

I'd settle for some unfounded hype right about now. 48 hours out from the 1st pre-season game and I've heard very little about camp. Other than Tait's "Training Camp Reports" (which don't really report all that much), there's been next to nothing. Feels worse than usual but maybe it's just me?

Well so do I, the business attached to it Asia City has some good stuff too I had their shake fries yesterday, and regarding the Rice Dogs I recommend Whole Mozzarella as for the other stuff I'd add Gamsung (potato) around them because it will feel like an order of a Hot Dog with fries...even though fries are on the menu there

I think so, I've never been but my co workers have all enjoyed it and recommended it. Do you have a food truck? I had met a guy back in the day who would do all the festivals/carnivals in Manitoba during the Summer and then would drive around the State fairs and whatever in the warmer States during Winter and he would make a killing. It was a fry truck with I think hot dogs and he lived in a mansion and had lots of big toys.

3 receivers who basically just had to stand there.... yeah that sucked.

you mean ChungChuns?

Talking mainly about the hype machine. Around here we tend to hear a lot about some guys and bupkus about others because someone went to camp one day....lol

Not quite true. Wilson was getting a lot of reps with the 1st team offense early in main camp last year so there was some talk. He was also listed as one of our neg listers in Sep 2023 and then signed to a futures contract a month later so he was already on the radar prior to last year. The problem is that we don't hear a whole lot about camp in general anymore - doesn't matter if it's an established vet or a rookie.

We didn't hear a whole bunch about Ontaria Wilson last year either. Most ppl here were kind of who is that after he made the cut last year. I don't remember hearing a lot about Dalton Schoen until the last half of camp in his rookie year either.

TSN only showing East games in PS. We've got half decent weather finally in central AB, so I'm actually looking forward to sitting in the yard with a drink and listening to OB all afternoon. Gonna be a good day...

It was good for the first pre-season game, I think they tied the audio to the Lions radio network but not entirely sure. Nope.

isn't this weekends game one of the two that TSN is showing?

Yeah. Pretty much seconded my thought process. I'll take a long ponder at it and If the right situation came around, maybe. I just want to work in the winters. I'm restless and want to start another venture

Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town Saturday, so won’t be able to be at the game. Hopefully the CFL+ stream is good.

With the carnival idea , I think maybe Dreamland Diner might be the only one who is close to doing it? I know around the McPhillips area they have a funky corndog place which I have not tried yet. I'd stick with food trucks over a restaurant, I've known a few people who have opened up restaurants and it's high risk/stress, money pit, and a lot of work to keep afloat. The costs really add up quickly and the post Christmas slump kills a lot of places. At least with the food trucks you can drive in to where the customers are and during the winter months I'm assuming you would be in the States running the circuit. In an over saturated market like Winnipeg it makes things much more difficult. If I were to do a restaurant in Winnipeg I'd 100% buy into an existing franchise, it's far more safe.

So for Saturday's game, I am looking forward to seeing how they use Streveler and how he looks, Shay/Smith/J.Jones at linebacker, if any of our returners stand out and how the receivers not named Kevin, Nic and Dalton look.

yeah...I haven't heard a peep either....and he's has basically the death sentence of facts pertaining to him....if he isnt head and shoulders above the rest and pops off the page daily....put a fork in him as he's done.....I sure a few guys ahead of him have money invested in them as well

He was at their rookie camp a week and a half ago and he's at their OTA's now but I haven't seen him mentioned once so far. Given his status as an UDFA/CFL guy, he needs to standout to have any shot, and so far he hasn't done that.

calf....and with that...zero explosiveness and minimal to no ability to take off..change direction....and ...well that was evident

Not sure if it was hammy, but Bighill attempting coverage late in that game while having zero ability to run is the one that stands out most to me...

yeah....not worth pushing a guy for a variety of reason...Re-watch the 2023 Grey Cup and watch Bailey.....we may have just pu 11 guys out there as MTL payed no attention to him after they realized he was useless

Thing about hammies is that they tend to dramatically effect performance as well. No real way of hiding a hammy.
