Hope Whitehead take one to the house tonite.

Can't wait to see Oliveira out there

Rider Desperation is my jam.

Looking forward to see the Oliviera/Augustine RB duel, Whitehead returning, how the new recruits show on the OL, the battle for the 3rd american receiver spot and of course Dumbo Maas losing his mind over something trivial.

Preseason games are basically practices, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how the new guys perform under the lights. It's been a long time since I got a chance to sit down and watch a football game. The wobbly pops are cooling. The BBQ's been prepared.

........We already have the best uniforms in the entire league. Now we’re going to fill them, starting tonight, with the best players..

Idk. Pierce was a warrior to the end. He wore his heart on his sleeve and had to be forced into retirement due to injury. I dont think I ever heard him say he was not mentally in the game.

Its just soo darn cute with fans of teams in the east division try to talk smack. 😂

Just saw the note about the live stream for tonight's game. Guessing it's a stationary cam up in Irving and Brown's radio booth? May not be quite as good as the TSN cameras, but at least there'll be no need to mute Rod Black or Glen Suitor.

Really not unusual to rest starters in the first preseason game, this seems like such an odd thing to debate...

Not to mention big Chris should be the name given to our newly returned Chris Matthews WR

I love that he tried to be low key sandwiching their terrible NI talent between two other teams.

you are an awful person and you should feel bad for your life choices.

I chuckled. HARDCORE FREEEEEDOM!!!!

I for one love the pre season and TC, not only is it nice to have the good weather and obviously bomber football back, but I enjoy keeping track of the players and seeing who shines and who flops. kind of an interesting dynamic

For those that use the Taylor (Hydro) Park and Ride, please note that they've moved the location this season to Grant Park Mall. Source: https://winnipegtransit.com/en/service/event-service/bomberfanfare/#park&rideservice Route 4 – Park & Ride Super Express – Grant Park Shopping Centre (1120 Grant Ave) to Investors Group Field. The Grant Park Shopping Centre Park & Ride can accommodate up to 300 cars.

I'm honestly most excited for the first session of Irving/Brown/Tait sitting around BSing about football for 2 hours....there is nothing better! Huzzah for a new season!

Sheesh. I only realized just now that you get reputation points for people laughing at you.

Glen Suitor is horrible.

This is horrible! I had the chance to put JGRS in my dead pool and picked Betty White instead.

yeah used to like Taylor, but now seems like a diffeent guy altogether..I know as an announcer and voice of a team you show negligence to them and try to spin things in a positive way..but man...

???...Ekakitie entered last season on the 2nd year of a 3 year contract with the Bombers. They did not give him any dollars pegged for Thomas. They purposely let Fatboi ride off into the sunset last year and only brought him back when Marouf suffered a career ending injury and Ekakitie showed up in terrible shape for TC. Had neither of those things happened, Fatboi would be out of football. He responded very well after being signed during TC last year, but let's not pretend that providence didn't play a huge role in him being brought back or that last year he wasn't deemed expendable..

I never at any point thought he injured but all of a sudden the Bombers beat guys are like "#BreakingNews Stanley Bryant is not injured! Just being rested!" Ummmm.....well yeah.....

Stanley Bryant is healthy. The #Bombers have just decided not to dress him, keeping him healthy another week and to give others a chance to earn valuable reps. #wfp Jeff Hamilton Sounds like a plan. Gotta see what you got..

Best I can do:

Players get beat all the time, I can see McInnis and Lenius beating Bombers defenders for years to come. I could also see Loffler having a big games against the Bombers, especially seeing many fans on here bash him.

Edem? Were you actually watching? He was/is their biggest liability in the back field. He will be picked on a lot this season.

What is wrong with the guy? Don't forget Hervey is the player who took off his helmet & swung it at a Stamps players back in the mid 2000's during a Labour Day game.

Yes yes you don't like Jake Thomas, as you've said 100 times since last season.

St Boniface Hospital is run by the Catholic Healthcare Corporation of Manitoba, not the WRHA. They usually go along with what the province wants but not always (see MAID) so it's a bit complicated. The Grace Hospital used to be in a similar situation until about 10 years ago (the Salvation Army transferred ownership to the WRHA in 2008).

There is only one player on their starting 7 that I would want as a starter here and he is over the hill..

That assumes that all positions impact client care. I was speaking from personal experience where I once had a job within the WRHA where I reported to 3 managers and a supervisor (that does not include upper management) which, to me, was overkill . It was incredibly inconsistent and frustrating to get stuff dealt with as the buck would get passed between the group so you never knew who was dealing with what issue. Getting a simple answer was next to i My old co-workers tell me it's down to one manager now and things are running much more efficiently. It was a non-clinical department so there was no impact to client care either way.

Conspiracy theory stuff. If he gets pulled fast after success it will be because there is satisfaction that he is ready not for feelies.

I stood there in shock for what felt like an eternity and eventually my exact words were "You guys are going to be lucky to win a single game!" Him: "We have the best defense in the lague!" Me: "We took your best defensive player! How???"

There's this older fella here in town that I've known since I moved here in 07, and he's a die hard Riders fan...has been since the 60s, I'm sure. He's a nice enough guy and usually pretty knowledgeable about stuff. Yesterday he tried to tell me straight up that the Riders defense is the best in the league and will single handedly take them to the playoffs, if not the top of the West. I was incredulous....

Its a family friendly site, man... tone it down

God, this movie is great. Straight outta Locash

I think he would be more :

Just drove by the stadium. You know it's game day 'cause King's is dropping off the port-a-potties!

As did Wolitarsky. Wish I could post a vid of Woli doing that air guitar celi.

Coming soon: CFL.ca addition: add QB Kevin Glenn to AR Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Edem is brutal...and there's a reason he is on what,,his 3rd team now...and it's not cause he was wooed away from his previous team...horrible in coverage and penchant for dumb penalties..Blake and Labatte are 33 and 32 and on downswing..Corey Watson if he used as a starter is 35...Lavoie if used is 31..thats an old arsed team of core National starters to be relying on...and if they go down...whats behind them?? Bladek coming off a bad injury and wasn't a stud previous to that..Shepley is a big unknown..and no developing or potential starters on the horizon behind them that are National until their scrap heaping process starts...which it will....Judge is adequate but to be the main man now with losses they had (Jefferson..Eguevan..Antigha) not to mention Jones he is gonna flounder. and on top of that Hughes..Eliminiam ..Johnson and are all 35..32 and 32 in june for Johnson...again..an old arsed core of starters...so when you look at it yeah their list of starters National and Import are old in tooth...on downswing for the most part and have next to nothing but unproven guys behind them...at least the BC's and Edm's have depth pieces..younger quality national starters...and above all..a legit QB..Can't see nothing but a long miserable year this year especially with a rookie HC..DC..GM

It's ok to confess to being a Rider fan so we at least know where you're coming from.

“We want to see tongues out, taking knees" --Craig Dickenson

I suspect that Streveler will get a quarter to maybe a half and the others will split the rest.

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/watch-oldest-surviving-film-total-solar-eclipse

The impression I got from O'Shea's media availability today was that Streveler's involvement in the game will be minimal and this game will be about settling who wins the third string QB job. He did not say those exact words but he definitely implied it. We shall see.

Man, I feel for this dude. https://www.tsn.ca/talent/collaros-finds-himself-at-career-crossroads-1.1313327 I think he is done though... "I feel like I’m behind the eight ball. I want to be the guy, I want to get to that point,” Collaros said. “But I feel like the last three years has kind of stunted my intellectual growth in sports because I haven’t learned anything. I’ve learned a lot about myself. “There’s a lot of self-doubt that creeps into your mind and I think I’ve learned about myself that I can have a goal, there will be some self-doubt, but ultimately I’m strong enough in my mind to overcome those things and understand that if I trust the right people, I’m a strong person and I can work my way back from those kinds of things.”
