Rick Moffat from TSN Radio in Montreal ran into Sam at the airport & doesn't believe he's leaving for good. Rick Moffat ‏@RickMoffat 1h1 hour ago Dont think he had enough luggage with him to be bailing or bugging out on #CFL @vdirico @HerbZurkowsky1. Details Rick Moffat ‏@RickMoffat 1h1 hour ago #MichaelSam seemed rushed, mind elsewhere when I introducted myself @Keithrowe888 @HerbZurkowsky1 so have no reason to doubt him. #CFL

I see Allen and/or Randle headed over to the Ticats as Grigsby is now injured! Cats not having any luck with RBs this TC! Randle maybe but why Allen? He's a LB so he doesn't help their backfield issues.

Drew Edwards ✔ @scratchingpost BREAKING. #TIcats head coach Kent Austin says DT @bbulcke done for year.

He was definitely a badass, and not just on the screen. I would have loved to have heard his life story (the uncut version). Most of what he did during WWII is still classified but he's occasionally dropped hints that he did some crazy stuff, including climbing Mt Vesuvius just a couple days before it erupted. If you listen to the directors commentary during Lee's death scene in LOTR, Peter Jackson tells a story about how they wanted him to make some kind of agonizing noise as he gets killed. Lee told them he actually knows what kind of sound a person makes when they are stabbed in the back like that, and made a gasping/hissing type sound as if the air was being let out of his lungs.

He was a movie villain legend that worked in some of the biggest franchises ever (Bond, Star Wars, Lord of The Rings). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11666316/christopher-lee-dies-live.html

If guys like Wiecek relied on a pay per read system to survive, they'd be looking for a new line of work real quick.

Sad to hear about The Dream. I was never a huge fan of his, at least initially, growing up. My 1st real exposure to him was at the end of his career when Vince saddled him with the polka dot gimmick. Once the internet era came along though, I was able to see video of him in his prime and I had a new respect for him and his abilities.

Just getting into Better Call Saul. I watched the 1st episode when it came out and wasn't overly impressed so I didn't watch anymore. I started running out of shows to watch without the wife so I decided to give it another shot and I'm glad I did.

New season of Orange is the new black comes out tomorrow for those interested.

Good call. I think if we signed him now his contract would be guaranteed for the season. So maybe the Bombers give him a look once the season starts, if Stoudermire's injury lingers and if none of the in house guys look good...What?Players on the roster to start the season get some type of guarantee. That's why teams often sign guys right after the season has started. I believe Romby Bryant was an example of this last year.Some guys have roster bonuses, but nobody's contract is guaranteed until after the 9th game. They get paid per game if on active, reserve or injured list, so teams might time signing guys in a way to avoid paying them a game cheque in-season.Why did the Bombers wait until after the season officially started last season to sign Romby Bryant? It was contract related.Yeah it was contract related as in he was under contract to the Argos. Bryant was one of the last cuts from the Argos TC and then signed with the Bombers less than a week later.No that wasn't it at all. Argos cut Bryant. We then brought him in for a tryout/look, but I recall Oshea saying we wouldn't officially sign him until after the season begun.Link? http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/veteran-receiver-romby-bryant-among-14-cuts-by-argos-1.1880721 So the Coles notes version is that the Argo's cut him on June 22, the Bombers confirmed they were bringing him in for a look on June 24th and the season started on June 26th. Add this quote from O'Shea, and I'd say it had more to do with timing than contract issues. There just simply wasn't enough time to work him out and figure out if he's still good enough to play before the season started. “He’s an extremely professional football player,” O’Shea said. “He will work extremely hard. And people will possibly question his age. If he shows he’s just as fast and can get off the jams like he’s been doing, and all reports say he still can, then we’ll have to consider where he fits. But he’s certainly somebody we’re going to be interested in.”

He's missed the last two days of camp due to an injury so there's not much to report on.

A good friend of mine is a diehard penguins fan and he says lemieux and burkle have been butting heads for a while. He said it goes back to at least last May when they fired Ray shero. Mario wanted to keep him but burkle flexed his muscle as majority owner. Whether or not thats the reason, who knows but it could play a part in this.

Hopefully that's specific enough for some posters.

Actually it sounds like the games will be on TSN1290, not CJOB... So.... Source? From the link in the OP: Fans can tune in to TSN radio stations across the country for live coverage of the CFL pre-season, including both games featuring the Alouettes on TSN Radio 690 in Montréal, Both Blue Bombers games on TSN Radio 1290 in Winnipeg, both games featuring the Redblacks on TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa, both games featuring the Lions on TSN Radio 1040 in Vancouver, and the Argos first pre-season game on Tuesday, June 9 on TSN Radio 1050 in Toronto.

We're with First National and our term is almost up. We've been doing the variable mortgage & they've offered us a very similar deal to renew. We will probably renew with them but we're still going to shop around a little bit and see if someone can beat that.

Phoenix replaced Mash Up. Kodi is (and always has been in my experience with it) a mixed bag as far as longevity goes . Add ons for TV shows & movies (like 1Channel, Genesis, etc) never seem to go away but the ones streaming live content are much more likely to go down. How long each one of those streaming add ons last varies quite a bit too. I just enjoy them while I can & look for a new one when I need to (unless I hear about one from someone in the meantime).

Not a fan of giving up a 1st rounder... hopefully he turns out to be worth it or they're working on a deal that brings us another 1st rounder (maybe as part of a Greaves trade if there actually is one).

The TSN feeds weren't working for me on any of the add-ons I tried (Phoenix itself was working for other feeds though). I looked around a little bit and it seems TSN changed their encryption about a month ago so that's why the feeds aren't working at the moment. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before someone cracks it though. I'm trying to find the ESPN schedule for this year so I can find an alternate feed if the TSN ones aren't working. The CFL website is pretty dated (they only have the 2013 US TV schedule posted) so hopefully something pops up soon.

I'll check it out when I get home tonight but it's been working for me. I've been watching the nhl playoffs (albeit on nbc sports) and haven't had any problems.

I've used Kodi a lot over the last 6 months but haven't had a chance to try it on a bomber game yet. For TSN streams (when they are up) I use either the Phoenix or Vdubt25 add-ons.

Mad Max looks amazing.... they did reshoots because the studio thought the movie was looking so good that they pumped in tens of millions of more dollars to make it even more awesome! I went to Mad Max last night and it was great, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 (mainly for the visuals). It sure isn't the low budget indy film that the original was and they put every dime to pretty good use. I'd recommend seeing it in theatres rather than waiting to watch at home. I thought it was interesting that the same actor was the main villain in this one (as Immortan Joe) & the original ( as Toecutter). He's completely unrecognizable in this one though so if you didn't know beforehand, you probably would never imagine it was the same guy.

GGG whooped Munroe pretty easily tonight. He wants Canello next (which would be a fun fight to watch). If Mayweather is serious about only having one fight left in him, I can't see him fighting someone as dangerous as GGG.

Look a few posts up (post #11 to be exact).

If all Sask-born players long to go back home, maybe you should let Rory Kohlert know he re-signed with the wrong team then.
