TBURGESS

Tons of things are broken in Kodi these days. I hadn't used MIC since last year, so I checked it out this AM. Big update May 31 broke it on my system. Un-installed/Re-Installed using notes from: http://koditips.com/made-in-canada-kodi-iptv-addon/ and it's working again. Note: Don't install F4MTester before Kodi, kinda mucked things up for me and I had to start over. Note 2: I didn't install SportsDevil (Used to be in fusion, which isn't working anymore) even tho it said to. I didn't need it to make the TSN's work. As for VPN... I'm using PIA (Private Internet Access). It's fast and cheap, but it doesn't work with Netflix and crashes almost once a day on my laptop causing 2 minute outages. Not sure I can recommend it to anyone who's non-technical.

Kodi with 'Made In Canada' add on is a pretty good way to watch TSN.

What do you do when Neuf goes down again in about 3 weeks?

You might be able to use a VPN to 'pretend' your in another country and get the stream to work. Just depends on how smart their IT folks are.

Matt Dunigan said Riders will get 10 wins. Check out the video: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/huddle-up-week-1-lookahead~1150099

Not surprised that Willy got cut. He was one of, if not the biggest mistake that our current regime made. I was and still am astonished that we got so much for him in trade value. I'll never understand what Toronto saw in him.

The following players have been placed on the practice roster: National offensive lineman Qadr Spooner National receiver Derek Yachison National linebacker Frank Renaud International defensive lineman Padric Scott International linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox National kicker Felix Menard-Briere International defensive back Abu Conteh International receiver TJ Thorpe International defensive back Robert Porter

I thought he did pretty well for a 3rd stringer. Dickenson and Huffer should know something about QB's, but it looks like a pretty big gamble to me.

It wasn't just their offense. BC's defense held the Riders to 6 first downs, 2 in the first half.

BC sure beat up on the Riders last night. Looked way better than we did against them in all 3 phases.

Hurl may be 'assignment sound', but knowing where to go and getting there in time are two very different things. So are getting there in time and being able to make the play. Hurl's a gap filler because he isn't capable of being anything more than a gap filler. Hardly a great attribute for a MLB anyway.

Saying he's average isn't taking away his right to try. It's simply pointing out the obvious.

I never it isn't a team game. I never said that the only way to judge a QB is by their record. It is one of things I look at. BTW: Are you really trying to put Nichols in the same company as some of the Bombers great QB's? At best it's too soon. At worst, in your own words, it's ridiculous.

What's ridiculous about expecting to win a playoff game or even the Grey Cup? That's what everyone works for every single year. You're making stuff up. I don't expect that from you. I didn't say win or the seasons a failure. I didn't call Nichols a loser. I called him an average QB at best because he's not a top 4 QB. You really think he is? Nichols had a career season last year. It was his first and only winning season so far. If he can recreate it or get better, then I may change my opinion on him. It depends on if the wins are because he played really well or if they are due to turnovers like most of our wins last year. Jacobs is before my time, but he did win playoff games in more than one year and was in 2 Grey Cups. Jonas is the only one on your list that didn't at least win playoff game and he only had 1 winning season in Winnipeg. He was a great guy to talk to... a gunslinger who threw more Int's than TD's. I liked him, but I wouldn't call him a great QB, just one who had one great season. Brock took us to the playoffs 8 times. After his first time, I don't remember, but I likely wondered if he could do it again. Jones took us to the playoffs 2000-2003, winning 3 playoff games.

The Don was one of the best coaches in CFL history. He'd tell you as much if you asked him. Would have loved to have him as the Bomber coach. RIP

It's a QB driven league and Nichols isn't a top 4 QB, which make him average at best. I get that most folks around here are just happy we finally made the playoffs last year and assume that were going to win at least as many games this year as we did last. Personally, I think the bar should be raised from just making the playoffs to winning a playoff game or two.

He got us to the playoffs. I'll be satisfied if/when he wins a playoff game or 2, gets us to the Grey Cup and wins it.

I'm not sold on Nichols yet either. Last year was the first time in his 5 year CFL career when he looked like a starting QB. He was invisible for major parts of a lot of games. He was was the 3rd luckiest QB in terms of catchable INT's vs real INT's. Our Turnover ratio gave him the ball back 59 times, the best in the league by far. Our redzone problems meant we ended up leading the league in FG's, not TD's. It will be really interesting to see if Nichols can keep up last year's level of play, if he improves or if he goes back to the way he was before last year.

Lankford as a DI Receiver/Returner would make a lot of sense to me, especially if Fogg isn't ready to go to start the season. (I see Fogg as a DI DB/Returner.)

I could see Jeffcoat getting a DI spot allowing him to backup both Westerman and Okpalaugo. Thomas, Butcher and/or Ekakitie should be able to hold down one DT spot and backup the other. That leaves Johnson as a PR guy and allows us to use an import MLB.

We challenged it and lost the challenge and a timeout. My guess is that there wasn't any more than the one angle so they went with the call on the field.

I'm not known for my blue colored glasses, but it certainly looks like the Riders were within 5 yards meaning no fumble and Bomber ball 15 yards up the field.

June 10 - BC Lions Released: QB Keith Price (I) DL Harold Brantley (I) DL Edward Godin (N) OL Vincent Brown (I) OL Quinn Horton (N) OL Evan Telford (N) WR Mitchell Hillis (N) WR Montario Hunter (I) WR Deon Long (I) DB Adrian James (I) DB Justin Thomas (I) LB Nehemie Kankolongo (N)

I was a huge Knight fan back in the day. Ralph Dieter Brock had a great arm and could put the ball anywhere he needed to, but Knight was the better QB until he tore his rotator cuff.
