I paid $35 on DAZN for this?

I don't get the fascination with Tony Jones. He's an average MLB and we're on year 3 of him and we seem to treat him like he's 2018 Biggie.

Given the new deal MBB better step up with a raise for me next year.

Thats pretty cool....Grud's knows his stuff ya gotta admit

Im ready for the disappointment of us being married to Jones-kyrie starting at mac/wil and DIing Ayers.

One series for Zach with one starting receiver through two games..... Not what I'd love to see.

I would have liked to see how Elgersma performed with a better supporting cast. Talk about not setting a dude up for success. Yeeesh.

Dust off your fur coats for the home opener, Strevy's throwing a retirement party. 😄

I like the idea of adding a guy like Addison to the staff. Doesn’t replace anyone, another voice in the room and without knowing anything about his personality, he’s got the type of story you’d think players can learn from and appreciate. and he was pacing as a 1000 yard receiver last year so I’m sure if we have an injury in the playoffs, he’ll be lacing them up.

Rando mcrandolpohersons' name will only be remembered if he goes else where and becomes an allstar. Almost forgot about the best part of camp, the awards! Best name, Stevie rocker. No first guy gone, because we had a pretty crazy amount of retirements pre- and mid-camp this year. Camp? who needs camp? Oladejo. Made the club from the tub, List is too long and uncertain. But most importantly, the MVP of TC, Taylor Elgersma. And for the first time in a long time, camp MVP has made the team!

Well, when you dont dress 1 defensive starter this is what you get

Well our QB depth chart is set. Elgersma QB2, Perkins short yardage and panic mode QB3

How great is it not seeing Chris Kolankowski as the starting Center? My condolences to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, You got suckered.

Yeah I'm not adding yet another subscription just for cfl. Guess it'll be cjob like back in the day and then wait for a pirated copy to hit the interwebs.

Pick 'Ems are back this year. How do they work? Each week you pick the winners for all CFL games (including playoffs). You get one point for every correct pick. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins a $50 gift certificate at the Bomber store. Picks will be done through the polling system. Polls close at game start of the first game of the week. I will accept picks for games that have not started yet through PMs if you are late getting them in. Picks this week need to be in by 6:30PM Thursday, June 4th If you want an idea of what it takes to win it all, and who your competition might be, here is list of the top winners over the last decade. Quite a few recurring names in there. Google DocsHistorical Pick 'Ems Recods

It's at the 1 hr 45 min mark. Strevy is right pissed at Wynn, swears at him, gets a 10 yard penalty from Frenchie, then limps off the field because Wynn twisted his knee in the pile. Screw that guy. So Strev's penalty on the a-hole Wynn makes it second and 17. Andrew Harris says "no problem" and gets it all back on the next play. Man I loved that 2019 team.

Time for my wild prediction of the year before the season starts: Jake Maier plays well enough but not great in Ottawa, in game 4-6 Dinwiddie gives Dru Brown the start and he gets concussed and sidelined in his first start. Maier returns to action the next game and begins playing better while Brown languishes on the bench. In week 13 Zac Collaros suffers a season ending injury, and Elgersma gets the tap to start. After a couple games TE suffers a broken foot leading to a Winnipeg QBing crisis. A trade for Dru Brown is worked out with Ottawa bringing him back to the Bombers. Brown catches fire, while at the same time Winnipeg shuffles the deck on defence to tighten it up. Bombers who are 3rd in the West go on the road and begin a heater culminating in bringing home a Grey Cup. Taylor Elgersma, plays a pivotal role on a broken foot throughout the playoffs as the Bombers change of pace QB. At the Grey Cup parade both Taylor Elgersma and Chris Streveler show up shirtless and wearing fur coats and smoking cigars. Life is right in Bomberland again. (I would like to note that I am not wishing injury on any QB in this post and would hate to see this exact scenario roll out with the exception of the Grey Cup part)

I thought it was from when he got hit low and flipped up

West all-star because tackles111!!!! I'd rather a MLB that makes plays not tackles.

Every time you guys say Randall....... Are you trying to say Randolph?

Hed be pretty good, if it was a different era where every team was running 15-20 times at minimum. He can't pass rush and can't handle any coverage assignment.

I'm starting to think our scouts are garbage

I fear we are mostly back to the same old, same old O'Shea roster.

"Nuts to that I'll just call Thiadric Hansen" - Mike O'Shea... probably

To me it’s pretty obvious what their plan is on offence this year. It’s going to be a package/committee 12th man. 5OL (Bryant, Wallace, Ellsbury, Neufeld, Broxton) 1QB (Collaros) 1RB (Oliveria) 2 American Receivers (Pokey, White) 2 Canadian Receivers (Demski, Nield) and then 12 is going to be one of Chris-Ike (RB/FB), Daniels (TE/FB), Clercius (Receiver) or Cobb (Receiver) depending on the situation and play call.

Kind of annoying that we had 300 chances to draft Cenacle and he went off and had 111 yards and 2 TDs against us.

Not sure Osh' mindset going into these games..no vets get any work and we have had rusty starts due to it....And why give TE most the game, you see what he is about..Live arm...some pocket awareness but needs a lot of seasoning, and needs to just relax and let play come to him,,,,We then have Perkins playing with all crap really, so tough to gauge. I think he will be fine, he just needs to also settle in and play his game and not worry about show casing his arm...there were a few times he had acres of yards he coulda ate up but was too occupied with trying to show some passing chops and forced..or awkwardly tossed balls he didnt need too...play his game...roll outs..sprint outs...RPO stuff and his passing will look a lot better, as history in 2 leagues and college will show... Fredrickson as well...all game...while others got reps here and there...sure he caught a few but also muffed several and was basically fed 80% of the passes tonight...and did nothing with it really...both games...and basically does zero after the catch...like running in mud...The one drop was a direct result of his lack of athleticism and vertical...couldnt get his big body up to make the catch. Singer has won and should b the 5th receiver, as he is a returner, and sure dropped one he should have had but is explosive and has big play ability, and pair him with the starting Offence as the 5th guy...he will look damn good. I sure they will PR Fredrickson tho as they have some fascination with him I do not see. None of the oline guys made a case to be a starter...who and what they keep will be interesting Dixon and Jenkins I think made roster..who is the "starter" and who the DA is the question...and really irrelevant as both will see lotsa reps...as both can slide inside. Fletcher too made a case for PR at worst...versatile...moved well....was disruptive. Reese as well PR at worst....Best get off of any end we have and has a motor....Clinton too should be kept...he's good...fast...closes like a bullett. DB's are a crapshoot...We know we set with Holm...Nichols...Moxey...that other corner is the only question...Looks to me Williams is front runner and just looks most ready. Also have to consider Lamont as we know Osh likes his vets, and he did nothing to play himself off the team and that was playing with scrubs and guys who will be cut. Place him with the starting group and he would be just fine. And the fact we had Jaylen Smith in a 2 man safety role at times, and Vaval will be a DA and likely DB backup we prob don't DA an extra DB so it frees up Dline help. With Griffin...Smiths emergence...Kramdi at safety if we sustain a DB injury Griffin can easily slide out to one the spots and Kramdi or Smith take over SAM.... One thing i find odd was that all this talk and hype about Daniels...we basically ignored him and had zero involvement of him in passing game...like wtf?...See what he can do catching and route running...unless we hiding it for the real season it was a bit perplexing...and If they don't plan to use I have a a hard time seeing an AR spot for him as he really showed nothing in his reps we couldnt get with an extra olineman, or using MCI or Clercius as a TE Glad I was in my seat and didnt have to watch it...The use of the new scoreboards was good tho...basically full screen of plays....minimal ad interruption. And the new ribbon boards below the ring of honour and at field level are pretty nice and slick...stadium looks good...best in league by far for game presentation

It was the worst pre-season stream yet. At the beginning they didn't have CJOB in sync. The play was over before they started describing it. They showed folks in the crowd instead of the plays. Showed ads while the play was going on. Pure amateur hour.

I swear this game was recorded by the same guy who captured Bigfoot but with a newer camera.

Eh, we played almost no starters tonight. I wouldn't put too much weight on it. I worry we will be far from sharp to start the year though

Thankfully we won't have to watch 90% of these guys play another game.

Major Williams having a solid start

I think he's just expressing frustration (in his annoying way) over fans wanting to see some changes and then constantly complaining about the changes. How long have we said on here the CFL should absolutely be exploring streaming services? They not only get one, but they get one that is going to significantly increase league revenue while only using 1/4 of the games. Even if I was unable to get a free DZN stream, I would still consider this a win for the league. The sky is falling people will just never be happy until TSN pays 600 million a year to broadcast the game while using John Madden to do PBP. I'm not sure what the "use a streaming service" crowd thought would happen when the CFL got on with a company, but it would always cost money to see it.

If they make money now...and it has some success...even limited....it's a bonus and all good Of when the contract runs it's course, and the DAZN peeps feel they no longer wanna be a part of it...then so be it and you will adjust your teams revenue stream and everything involved accordingly....won't be demise of anything, and in that time maybe there will be new different options too....guess we shall see But going status quo with TSN as the sole distributor of the product had to change/shift, unless they did a total overhaul/revamp of how they go about it...and that was never happening. So the CFL is trying to branch out and find new ways and means to promote and get the product out there, and have added a buttload of cash to the teams in doing so...which isnt a bad thing by any stretch

It's one game a week. Not anentire season. If people are willing to stop watching the CFL over this then the league might as well just fold up its tent. Canadians sure like to ***** & complain about everything. Nothing is ever good enough. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll get DAZN but if I don't I won't stop watching.

I don’t think we can do it right now but if or when god forbid Zach gets roughed up, I’d trade a first and a roster player for Dru. I think Dru is a really good quarterback and he’s been absolutely left out to dry in Ottawa.

Because the greedy fucks who make decisions don't realize that people don't want 1000 subscription payments to watch everything. They want 1 or 2 places to get what they want. More than that piracy is more attractive.

I'm really curious to know why everyone seems to think DAZN is so low on the totem pole. They're huge outside of the US. Their NFL service in Canada is great. I hate the price, but the quality is amazing. no kidding lol just such unawareness

Sounds like $500 Million over 6 years. 66% increase over the last deal. Each team should get about an extra $3.5 million/yr.

Starting line-ups for tomorrow have been released:

that was an issue a few yrs ago...no real work for him and other vets...and we sputtered bad Maybe if a QB gets knicked they give TJ Davis some snaps...he was a QB and all I not liking this way we went again with alot of key guys getting zero work in pre-season...didn't bode well when we did it before and then sustained some injuries due to it Also would have been nice...and beneficial for what likely is the starting oline group of Bryant/Wallace/Eli/Neuf and Broxton a few series together with live bullets flying... We at home...no limit to roster...No reason ZC...The oline...BO and who we think are the starting receivers get a series...even a series with each backup QB ZC had 1 series...threw to 1 guy....like cmon man

Preseason games on youtube under the new deal.

My no trade list only includes RiderFans and I'm not waiving that for any reason!

As with everything the new commish does....

That would be worth the $35/month.....

An additional $3.5 million a year per team is a giant boost to sustainability, no? Sucks to have to pay for another service, but better than having no league.
