Sure. There's a good 30-45 minutes a day on the 680 CJOB Sports Show with Christian. Plus training camp hits in sports at 625, 725, 825, 925am and 325, 425 and 525 pm. And we'll have two hours pre-game Monday starting at 1:00pm. We've hit all those topics over the first 10 days. Since I've got some time sitting in Regina: 1) We've seen Shayne Gauthier + Kyrie Wilson / Kyrie + Brian Cole as the LB combos post-Bighill. John Petrishen + Tre Thomas has been another duo from the start. Anyone else isn't getting a ton of work. 2) Liam Dobson at left guard and Eric Lofton at right tackle every day so far. I think Ted Wyman was the first to touch on it on May 12. The only time it wasn't Dobson a LG was the last day because of injuries to Eli and injury/day off for Kolankowski. Dobson shifted to center for that one. 3) Michael Chris-Ike is slowly getting more action in a FB/TE roll after his late arrival. Gabe Wallace was getting first-team reps with the injuries to Neufeld and Eli. They are by far the closest to making an impact early in the season. Clercius is down around the 3rd group of receivers. Kalra is much closer than Vlahogiannis. And Leroux is 100% going back to school, so apart from 1 day where we talked about him, we'll catch up with him next year. Gassama and Hubert appear far down the pecking order. 4) 1st team has been Haba and Fox since day 1. 5) KJ Hill never seemed to get above the third group. And when he got hurt and wasn't going to recover in time, they released him. Had he appeared with the first team like a Ravi Alston, Ontaria Wilson or Myron Mitchell there would have been more talk about Hill. There were roughly 8 guys vying for return spots. They *might* be down to 4, but there are virtually no returns in camp. Without full-speed contact, they aren't worth much. Pre-season games are where we'll see who's who.

The lack of coverage in training camp is truly so frustrating. The human interest stories are great fluff and I can’t blame Ed Tait because that’s what the club wants but come on … Bighill out to start the year and not a peep about any of the new linebackers. Two offensive line spots open and no clue who is out in front of the competiton. A full draft class and no idea how they’re slotting in yet. Is Haba/Fox starting just a closed case already? Does anyone want to talk about it? KJ Hill cut and as per the reporters, he was “a hyped rookie” but absolutely no mention of who may lock that spot down now. It gets worse every year. @DTonOB explain yourself

If you gamble on games, especially one that you played in, it should be a lifetime ban. Lemon is getting just punishment.

I resent some of you calling me old. It may be true but I resent it. Can't recall when I joined OB but it has to be 2004 so like 5 years ago.

Looke like Michael Chis-Ike should be at practice tomorrow. Bombers have signed him.

he should be immediately turfed by TSN for that comment....wow is all I can say...way to show zero support for woman and work place harrasment....idiot

Here's what I noted on day 1: Bryant-Dobson-Kolankowski-Eli/Wallace(for Neufeld)-Lofton Lawler-Schoen-Murphy(for Demski)-Alston-Wolitarsky Augustine (for Oliveira) Collaros Jefferson-Thomas-Fox-Haba Wilson-Bighill Parker-Nichols-Nick Hallett (for BA)-Holm-Ford-Kramdi Tyrique McGhee appears right in the mix as well. And it felt like a lot of Lawson with Thomas in the early portion.

thanks to DT for updates:

The off-season is officially over. I thought I would make a new thread to start off the season. Looking forward to some camp reports starting with Rookie camp today.

Just makes that MOP award even more grimey and head shaking...But seen this coming 1000 miles away...and Kudos to the CFL for actually doing the right thing...esecially when it involved the Argo's premiere guy...he won't be missed league wide in the least while he is reflecting...Can't wait to see if he goes off on social media now..............

I've got a shiny nickel for each of you who finally decides to shut the **** up about last years cup.

Lemon probably bet the over on “games started by Shawn Lemon in 2024”, that’s why he’s back

https://3downnation.com/2024/05/13/tsn-panellist-ex-gm-jim-barker-says-cfl-staffers-should-be-fined-for-criticizing-argos-handling-of-chad-kelly/ Barker is more likely to get fired for these comments then those two ladies are to be fined. Wow what a tone deaf dolt.

Can we all just agree that Kelly is a wiener and the league is better off without him? TSN (and the league to some degree) both look like idiots for forcing him on us as the new face of the league, when everybody could tell something like this was the inevitable conclusion.

Farhan, who was convinced the CFL couldn't survive without the XFL and tried to convince everyone else of this, is going into the HOF. The bar is so tremendously low for entry, it kind of makes it worthless.

Anytime I or her mother put on a blue shirt of any kind my 2 year old says “Yay Blue Bombers!”

100% not retiring. Just a roster move.

I wonder if RoadGriller is still writing Justin Goltz erotica

Hodge reports that Michael Chris-Ike is Winnipeg bound in a couple days after his workout with the Saints didn't result in a contract.

Was able to stop in for about 45 min to rookie camp today, was curious just to see Stegall out there - A lot of stretching - Receivers / QBs running drills with the QB taking the football, receivers running routes, QBs making reads, no balls being actually thrown - Milt getting a lot of cheers just for running a route - More stretching - Receivers doing ladder drills with other positions doing their own drills (was focused on receivers) - Then I had to leave Based on only seeing Milt running routes without lining up against defence and without any balls being thrown to him, he is ready to make the team and finally get that Grey Cup ring.

If you cant beat them, join them....

Was watching playoffs on my tablet the other night and my 3 year old asks if I was watching football... when I explained no hockey I was then asked when football starts.... so there we go, even the kids are ready for football season to start.

Here's a cut at a 2 round mock draft. Taking realistic projection on guys who are going to be in NFL. 1. Edmonton- Curtis Dublanko LB 2. Ottawa- Dumoulin-Duguay OL 3. Sask- Kevin Mital Receiver 4. Calgary- Tyson Hergott DE 5. Toronto- Kevens Clercius Receiver 6. BC- Luke Brubacher DE 7. Hamilton- Michael Chris-Ike RB 8. Winnipeg- George Una OL 9. Montreal- Benjamin Labrosse DB 10.

Hamilton- Owen Mueller OL 17. Winnipeg- Melique Straker LB 18. Edmonton- D'Sean Mimbs Receiver 19. BC- Theo Benedet OL 20. Winnipeg- Jared Chisari RB

Walking home from the gym right now and I pass by this dad and his son waving the blue and gold flag on the bridge by jubilee. I LOVE seeing the younger generation getting invested. And I love this city. Go bombers baby

He didn't win this battle. I'm not sure who could have really covered this better. Ford looks ready for a big season.

Happy training camp all! Very excited for the season to get going.

I am in that stage of my life where any year starting with a '2' seems recent to me until I do the math.

In case anyone missed it, Osh was asked about the Argos/Kelly situation yesterday: WEIGHING IN: O’Shea was asked after practice Wednesday about the nine-game suspension levied against Toronto Argonauts QB Chad Kelly. He said he would not comment on the length of suspension because ‘that’s not in my wheelhouse.’ “But I do feel very strongly that the women that work in our league deserve a safe workplace and deserve to be respected — everybody deserves to be respected and have a safe workplace,” he said. “The women in our league, and there’s a lot of them, really deserve to feel safe coming to work every day. That kind of question should be posed to the women in our organization to see if they do feel safe and respected in this workplace — I believe they do, but far be it for me to answer that. They certainly deserve our support and I know organizationally we make good decisions.”

Milt Stegall looks pretty good

Generally where there is smoke...there is fire....Kelly being an known arsonist basically as well.....it all adds up in my opinion to lean in the former trainers way....also if independant investigators , whom talked to anyone who witnessed what went on, and it has been on record already there were several incidents that others witnessed...and they went back with their findings to the CFL which prompted them to suspend....me thinks its all legit. Also the fact that for yrs now the CFL has been pretty lacksidasical, and overly lenient with other punishments, and they came out with the biggest non-violent suspension...ever.....obviously what Kelly did warranted it...The dude is a stain and I doubt he will ever change, so hopefully this is the last we see of him....and on his way out revoke his MOP and give it to the rightful player as well

hopefully nothing.....and they support the leagues decision...any sqwuaking would be a horrible look in my opinion

CFL taking this seriously. Wasn't sure they would but there you have it.

What kind of hurtful sterotype is that? Maybe his family owns a waste management company.

They should allow players to bet on CFL games. #TooSoon

This is boring

Win Grey Cup both years. Those other options suck.

Like I said...I can go a do a Tanya Harding...I take requests

Day one of rookie camp. WRs/DBs waiting for physicals.

3 weeks to the home opener.

One other thing I will say is how proud I am to have Osh as our coach. In each of these incidents he has come out with statements that are on the right side and wasn't afraid to be critical of the CFLPA or the Argos/CFL interpretation of the CBA.

The idea that it's always the victim's fault to change is disgusting. Change the way you dress because this man can't control himself. Change the way you speak because you're upsetting this man. Change your job because this player is trash and can't control himself. It's not a surprise that the usual chauvinists are gaslighting.

Did it? I dunno man it’s the first day of training camp I’m blacking out from excitement

Both sides (at least according to her lawsuit and the Argos statement of defense), say at least some of the incidents happened in front of others. If the investigation got confirmation of what happened (one way or the other), it's no longer a he said/she said situation.

Rourke claimed by NYG

Thats precisely why he is the GOAT. I wont hear any argument for guys like Simon, Pitts, etc. Those guys had MVP caliber QB's over their careers. Milt had 4 years with Khari, 5 years with Glenn, and 5 years with dogshit. If he would of had decent QB's from 1995-1999.....Good lawwwwwwwd. And if he would of had Pitts' QB's for his career.........Were talking 20,000+ yards.

Global players impact players pick one lol all this talk about these guys like we have MBB posters scouting the German leagues for talent we know nothing about 99% of these guys and we’re talking about how we passed on impact players
