All Activity

And they looked like ass for most of it which was nice. They had a nothing major in the last 30 seconds, otherwise were useless most of the afternoon. I'll take it.

Just like communism, having a league run like it's a central committee in Moscow with no team GM's or scouting positions... everything run out of one head office ... one guy making all the decisions just does not work. The teams can't respond to unique local needs of the fans. It's no wonder the UFL is struggling. There's no connection to any local markets.

expansion out of desperation. trying to expand to stave off the league dying. changes 2 years out when the league is at best year to year is beyond a hail mary

Jack Coan won't win them a lot of games if Harris goes down with serious injury.

🧠: CFL preseason means nothing, it's just nice to have football back. 💙: YEHAW RIDERS LOSE! 🎉 🎉 🎉

I am hopeful that the billionaire who owns the league calls it a day. I thought it was bad up here in the CFL from week to week but the UFL has taken attendance futility down to another level. And the UFL is announcing expansion teams??? Lol.

2nd best game each week is toronto level attendance. Meanwhile the st. louis games are in line with the 3rd best drawing team in a bad week. St. louis is the only real drawing team. Most of the 10k attendance claims week to week are free tickets that don’t even get used. a big chunk of ufl games are only attended by friends, family, and 100 or less fans

We never learn from past mistakes. From playing up to 10 Canadian starters for no reason other than to get an extra second round pick to signing older veteran free agent players, these were the criticisms of Walters & Osh before. Nothing's really changed other than someone setting Walter's alarm this season so he didn't sleep thru free agency on Day 1 . Of course, we knew these criticisms last year when their contracts were expiring.

Well, since we'll be going to a 10 game schedule after we merge with the UFL we'll have training camps in Florida in February. At least attendance will match up.

very good chance. Maybe acl, or some critical hammy tear, but probably achilles. I kinda of get it with jsk. flyer on a guy we know well at a position that isn’t a need. High upside, fairly low risk. So long as we didn’t give him a massive upfront bonus. It would be nice to dive in on the younger guys that’s never been our mo.

CFL attendance not much better than the UFL.

Achilles, perhaps? JSK played in the CFL for over a decade. Why can't we go after younger free agents? We ran into the same problem when we signed thirty plus receivers. Most of them were busts here because of injuries. What a waste of free agent resources.

We really need a 50/50 guy. Hopefully he's a guy that continues to impress since the highly touted other big man couldn't make the grade.

Madden Create-A-Players are leaking into the real world.

Every time the Riders lose an angel gets its wings.

Winnipeg Blue BombersBlue Bombers Training Camp | Day 9 - Winnipeg Blue BombersDay after day after day during Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp one scene has repeated over and over again: receiver Christian Frederickson making at least one ‘Oh, wow’ reception. “He’s done extre Definitely intrigued now about Fredrickson... At that size, generally, if he was any good he'd be in The League... But I'm definitely cheering for him.

The camp coverage has been bad for years, media coverage is even worse. The only guy who asks tough questions is the one guy who shouldn’t (Friesen) and the rest of them just lob softballs. Looking forward to seeing some preseason action to see who stands out but not going to read much into it either. I’d like to see Burrell, Fletcher, Fredericksen, Pace, Addison as newcomers who seem like they could at least be something. Curious to see Nuer and Daniels in game situations too, they don’t strike me as the types to pop in practice. Overall, just excited to have football back.

The coverage for training camp has gotten to embarrassingly terrible levels. Just a few fluff pieces, and some individual mentions of nice plays. It would be nice to actually see some actual write ups of what is going on.

I've boarded the hype train

I watched the livestream off the Centennial Cup website ($18!!) rather than subscribe to TSN+ and was loving watching my town represented at the national level, and winning it all too. Really liked the "live check-ins" to the local Smitty's in Niverville and seeing a lot of familiar faces on my computer screen chugging the brews cheering on the Nighthawks. I have to admit I haven't followed them very much but will try to be more active next year, including trying to take in a few games in Niverville when I am out. Great job Nighthawks! According to people I've talked to, the party hasn't stopped since yesterday lol....

A real champ over achiever. I loved that guy, soo much heart and just played his ass off. You can really see that trend in our D too. Smith, shay, ayers, and woodbey for starters. We have some other big dbs who are sam tweeners too. The secondary and second level have soo many guys that are modular and can play many roles from many alignments. The athleticism of our canadian defensive back ups is really tremendous too. We’ve gone from those guys being the outliers and massive luxuries to that being the barrier for entry. Most all the those candian D subs are not just athletic outliers, but they are tough nasty hard nosed football players. Not just pile of cross over athletes trying to make a go of it. That versatile athletic canadian defensive back up core, is going to be a major back bone to our defensive success this year and going forward.

My first time I’ve paid much attention to preseason camp - figured Stuart would atleast generated some local attention but the Daniels thing seems to have dominated the media circuit - been crickets on Stuart - nothing from Tait or other local media? TSN and 3down both had him as a top 25 prospect in a NCAA dominated draft class. (Not trying to over hype him but he obviously needs some help in the publicity department!! lol) Some good audio from 3down on the first few minutes of in his YouTube film for anyone looking for tidbits on the talent pool at camp. Prospect film

Brilliant strategy to avoid playing against him this year - sign him knowing if he's playing for us this year, he would immediately get hurt.

Stuart has soo much upside, sam/lber body with the athleticism and raw tools to run with wrs and cover. I’d love to have him on the ar early to play teams and develop as an actual db. He was a great sleeper pick. Idk if we’d have to hide him. teams don’t usually poach rookie drafted canadians if you pr em. idr the last pr poach at all. Pressure should be on both hallett and kelly. Ball really over achieved last year and had some flashes. Kid plays his heart out.
