Wow, some dude is straight-up selling iptv services out of his game store in Winnipeg?

That is exactly what I need! How good is his service?

No way we can reliably start three Canadian hogs with only six candidates -- especially with one being injury prone and two being super raw draft choices.

Can anyone recommend a solid kodi plugin for TSN?  I've had super mixed results with all the ones I've tried and ESPN3 isn't on my ISP so I pretty much have to rely on the gray market for CFL.

I am really hoping that the league follows up on the Grey Cup thing from last year and broadcasts the entire regular season live on Youtube outside of Canada and the USA. Then all I need is a VPN and I'm good.

Let's see, do I want the perennial 1000-yard man who plays like Brian Kelly and who has been basically the best receiver in the CFL for the past six or so years (give or take an S.J. Green)

Or do I want the young up-and-comer who hit nearly 1000 yards with Brett Smith as his QB of record for most of the season and who plays like a young Brian Kelly? And who is going to be a great one for years and years?

Trick question. I will take them both!

Watching old games the other day, was shocked at how Brian Kelly resembled Dressler ... a little howdy-doody looking dude who does nothing but get open and catch TDs.

Hey, let's not knock a guy for shedding a few tears when an entire year of rehab goes up in smoke, twice.

Is it time to retire this thread and start an "Around the League Training Camp Discussion" thread?

Because it ain't the offseason anymore! woot!

Would love to have Henoc back. All players are mercenaries, no use in pretending otherwise.

I know nothing about agenting or managing a football team, but I wonder if he's waiting to be a midseason desperation signing.

Glad to see Carlos Anderson back. He had some raw luck last year...

Weird to look at the roster and see him as the only import RB in camp.

yeah **** cancer.

Sometimes on roadtrips my American wife and I will wind up listening to a bunch of Hip and I get to explain all the Canadianisms in it: why 1972 was a big year, the FLQ murders, Bobcaygeon, etc.

And then the safety would start cheating down on Pop or House ... and Murphy or Boyd would take one to the endzone.

Oh for 1984, when we started eight Canadians on O and still skunked the league. We had the highest-scoring offence in the country by sixty points.

Definitely can't begrudge Denmark for any parting shots at the Bombers. The guy was here for five years and played with ten different quarterbacks, with 3-5 of those QBs being complete no-hopers.

If it weren't for Denmark, Justin Goltz and Brian Brohm would have zero Bomber career highlights. Which kinda says it all.  The one year that Denmark had a bona fide CFL passer for most of the games, he hit 1000 yards.

Good luck to him, he was one of the few bright lights in a bunch of dismal seasons and I wish there was some way we could've kept him in Blue even after signing Smith and Dressler.

Doug Brown was right.  Blue is for jerseys. Never for pants.

Drew Edwards reveals himself as a person of taste and distinction by agitating for a return to the Argos' boat logo.

But he's wrong about the Als' duds. The Als look fantastic and didn't need to change. It's tricky to balance two primary colors like that on a jersey and not have it look busy or garish.

(I am an expert about these things because my wife and I will spend hours customizing uniforms in Madden.)

Judging by what LaBatte was wearing on twitter, it looks like the Roughies will have a white pants option as well.  They had players in all four looks: green/white, green/green, white/white, white/green. 

The all-green pajamas are bad enough, but all-white football uniforms are the worst.

Damn, Greg Ellingson rocks that redblack casual outfit like a real model. I guess if football takes a bad turn for him, there's always the runway...

That would makes sense. I actually hated wearing my navy bomber jersey in the states because everwhere I would go ppl would ask me if it's a Rams jersey...... Now there will be no mistake!

Yup, have this exact problem too.

These royal blue unis are gorgeous.  AND I TOTALLY CALLED THE BLUE SHOULDERS on the away jersey.  I am never right at predicting things so this is exciting for me.

All the teams look smart in their new uniforms. Glad to see a more classic look prevailing instead of piping and bibs and swooshes. Calgary and the Riders both look way better. I wish that Hamilton, Ottawa, and the Riders weren't rocking that onesie pajama look -- pants, jersey, helmet all the same color -- but what can you do?

 

Love B.C.'s road outfit ... tramp stamp notwithstanding, the white breaks up the orange really nicely. Don't like their homes, though, that's a bit too much orange.

Can't wait to see all these good-looking unis on the field -- bring on 2016!

Am I reading this right that you're cutting both of our national long snappers? I hope we don't have Wild long snapping again, that'd bone us on both defence and special teams if he gets dinged up.

I would really like to see us start three international hogs, hold Keeping and Neufeld in reserve for the inevitable injuries, and not rush Couture. No way we'll get 18 games out of four Canadians playing three spots, especially when one of them is Neufeld.  That'd mean a national receiver, field corner, or safety, I guess.

(edit) Just read that Walters says we're planning on starting three national OL.  http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Football/CFL/Winnipeg/2016/05/10/22632136.html

Fantastic movie, my favorite superhero movie yet.  They managed to cram a Wire-sized cast into a single movie, and everyone got featured somehow while not distracting from the core of the story with Cap, Bucky, and Tony.

Cap macking on his girlfriend's niece was ... weird.

One of my favorite memories of Hefney as a Bomber, fireman-carrying JJ back to the bench in 2011 after a huge pick six. Loved that 2011 defence.

They are gonna pan down and we'll find out this is the road uniform ... it's just got shoulders in the home color, like the Eskimos' road jerseys do.

I'm liking what I'm hearing.  I'm really pumped at the idea of a seasonal Star Trek anthology.  10-13 episodes is an ideal amount of time to tell a tight closed-ended story. And Bryan Fuller does good work.

Condolences to his family. He had some good games for us coming off the bench when Roy Dewalt couldn't get it done in 1988.

He was actually our leading passer by yardage that year, but couldn't claim the job as his own. Then Salisbury got on a roll and the rest is history.

There didn't appear to be much difference with Matthias Goossen at centre when Picard got hurt.

Not qualified to judge how the two of them compare as blockers or line captains but we sure lost a ton of hang time on the shotgun snaps when we went with Goossen...

I disagree with the thought that he's done nothing to fix the oline. That's bs also imo. He's drafted Goossen. He drafted Chungh. He signed Bryant as a free agent. Bring up Keeping but he's a pretty solid guy to have... he doesn't suck and he brings leadership. Say what you want but he traded for Neufeld.

...  also signed three legit ratio changers as free agents in the past two years, guys who will give us a lot more flexibility to start internationals on the OL.
