  1. McLeod Bethel-Thompson is listed as one of the participants of that spring league that just started up. So he might be busy during Bombers mini-camp. A couple of other long time Bombers on the list are Adrian Hubbard and Justin Green. https://tommysportstalk.wordpress.com/2017/04/08/a-look-at-whos-playing-in-spring-league-football/
  2. Walters said last night that they won't know who they are going to draft until the day of the draft. They will work their NFL contacts to find out about the guys in the tryout camps up until the last minute. It's also obvious Walters likes Gray but he doesn't put any value on the fact that he's a local kid. If there are two picks that are equal in every way he would pick the local guy but otherwise he'd select the best player for the football club.
  3. You would get extra tickets to either of the BC games at the end of the season.
  4. I read that the Bombers will have the 3 QBs at mini-camp and 4 for rookie camp.
  5. With the new transitway the Bombers should see some of their expenses decrease. Currently they change one of the lanes on University to be inbound before games which requires manpower to set up pylons and signage.
  6. Join us in Pinnacle Club at Investors Group Field Wednesday, April 5th for our annual Fan Forum!

  7. Compare the text to Foley with how O'Shea treats his guys. Remember he went to Drew Willy's house to inform him he was traded.
  8. Well, if he does play for the Bombers he can help them end their Gray Cup drought.
  9. I could check later but I wouldn't doubt this guy played with Vince Young. Interesting that he was contacted around the same time Young was. Maybe Jones finds players by looking at old NFL almanacs.
  10. Can they put turf down at the Convention Centre or Mts Centre for some of the combine events? Is that what they did in Regina? The Soccer Complex at the U of M would work for the combine itself but there is nothing near by for all the other events that now make up CFL Week.
  11. Get rid of the Salisbury House fan contest. It's the one where the fan is blind folded and has to run to the banner. I have never seen anyone win as none of the participants actually try. Bring back the mattress races instead.
  12. CFL heading in right direction to get calls right while improving player safety REGINA - Improve player safety, coaches’ challenges and the role of the eye-in-the-sky official, while at the same time cutting down on penalties and trying not to interrupt the flow of the game. This is the task at hand for the 12-person rules committee as it meets to kick off CFL Week in the Saskatchewan capital. http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Football/CFL/News/2017/03/20/22711868.html
  13. I'm waiting for Young to hit the internet tonight and declare he's going to score 8 TDs a game.
  14. Maybe his salary level wasn't in the team's budget. So if they sign him it's possible they release Ryan Smith or a vet DB to offset Steele's salary.
  15. The other irony is they mention how their site is the largest and best CFL forum eva and that fans from around the league want to post on Riderfans. However, they don't want these outsiders posting there.
  16. 1 + 4 = 5 2 + 5 = 12 3 + 6 = 21 8 + 11 = ? Like if you know the answer.
  17. No, but there is a Brady connection. Bishop was drafted by New England in 1999 and was ahead of Brady on their depth chart in 2000 - the year Brady was drafted.
  18. Yeah, Friesen is is quick to post anything with a negative Bomber slant to it. I thought I saw a tweet from him earlier today that indicated Bass and Denmark were both gone as Bombers - he has since deleted it.
  19. Maybe they got the guy that scouted the TiCats' practice for Mike Kelly.
  20. Reminds me of when Graeme Bell faxed his contract to the Bombers upside down. But before he was able to refax the paperwork Edmonton had contacted him and he ended up signing with them.
