I'm not surprised they cut him (although he played decent in the little time he got last year) but I am surprised they didn't "ask" him to retire again instead of being cut.

I would say Nate Collins is a bit of a surprise. I wonder who's cereal he pissed in? Even going back to last year, I thought he should have seen the field more.

Ticats lose a couple DB's (Demond Washington is one of them). http://www.thespec.com/sports-story/6723011-ticats-rip-open-at-the-corners/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Sucks to see guys get hurt like that in pre-season.

Calgary has also released the following players: National linebacker James Green National long snapper Tim St. Pierre International receiver Cam White International defensive lineman Ridge Wilson

That was also 7 years ago and was his 1st experience with the Canadian health care system. He's since backed off his initial comments and is more understanding of how things work. He must not have that big of a concern if he wants to raise his kids here. He also has the means to just go back down south & pay for things he doesn't want to or can't wait for. Best of both worlds really.

Big loss for the Eskimos:

Yep, the news came out about a week ago. He'll actually be fighting out of Maryfield, Sk (it's just south of Moosomin) and not Regina. His brother has/had a farm there and Brock really enjoyed spending time there so he bought his own place. In 2013, he was talking about getting dual citizenship so he could live there full time.

Maybe some Hakushi-style tattoos thrown in for good measure.

As much as people b*tch about some of the shoddy work done at IGF, we haven't had anything like this happen. Thankfully it happened when the stadium was empty...

Definitely not sure what Popp is doing, especially since he just said this yesterday: If that's the case, that leaves as little as 4 quarters for the other 6 guys... how much does he expect to see out of them in such limited reps?

Some Rider math from Rod Pederson... there are how many years in a decade?

Yep, you're right, he was still a FA. I guess I just assumed he left the team considering how many guys have come to camp just to retire lately.

Lions now lose Matt Norman to retirement.

Yes, a short one (walk through I'm guessing?) from 11-12:20 today.

Pretty crazy how fast things happened with kimbo. I saw tweets earlier saying he was rushed to hospital but there were no details. Definitely didn't expect this.

It backfired on them big time. The amount of media attention this was getting (including mainstream media) was not good for them. It's not the first time they've tried to bully the media and won't be the last.

I've been using Castaway on Kodi lately for sports and have had decent results. It's basically an updated version of sportsdevil if you're familiar with that addon. I'll see how it does for CFL once pre-season gets going.

It's probably one of the better fights for Brock though. Hunt isn't a threat to take him down or submit him so as long as Brock doesn't let him stay standing, it's a very winnable fight for him. Hunt has been submitted a number of times by guys using holds that are more strength than technique (straight armbars & kimuras) so that works well with Brock's attributes.

And there it is.

This about sums most of them up.
