  1. Clearly the officials got the Medlock recovery call correct.
  2. SECTION 1 — DEFINITIONS Article 1 — Kicked Ball A kicked ball is one struck by a player's foot or leg below the knee. NOTE: If the ball accidentally strikes a player's leg or foot, it shall not be ruled as a kicked ball.
  3. I see similarities to Clermont and dare I say Tony Gabriel.
  4. The more I watch Woli, the more I believe he could be a dominant player for a long time.
  5. I thought Micah Johnson was one of the better players for Sask. I agree with you on Hughes, he isn't the force he once was.
  6. As soon as I make my wild picks, they cut Firlotte. Funny thing is that he was the last one I put on the board.
  7. Ok. So here is my first draft. I admit there are some unusual picks such as Washington with one of the receiver spots, and Greenberg as the long snapper of the future. Starting Canadians are bold and underlined. 3 QBs: 15 Nichols, 17 Streveler, 18 Bennett OL Imports: 66 Bryant, 51 Hardrick OL Non-imports: 53 Neufeld, 59 Couture, 68 Gray, 62 Speller Rec Imports: 1 Adams, 80 Matthews, 6 Washington, 87 Whitehead Rec Non-Imports: 10 Demski, 82 Wolitarsky, 81 Petermann RB Non-Imports: 33 Harris, 27 Augustine, 20 Olivera, 32 Rush, 24 Miller DL Imports: 94 Jeffcoat, 5 Jefferson, 93 Roh, 96 Bryant, 92 Nevis DL Non-Imports: 95 Thomas, 78 Griffiths LB Imports: 4 Bighill, 19 Wilson, 36 Temple LB Non-Imports: 25 Lalama, 34 Briggs, 44 Gauthier LB International 2.0: Hansen DB Import (Inc Sam) 37 Alexander, 14 Sayles, 22 Fenner, 23 Gaitor, 30 Rose, DB Non-Imports: 0 Jones, 29 Hecht, 42 Firlotte, K Import: 9 Medlock LS Non-Import: 97 Greenberg Reserve:89 Lawler, 35 Humes IR: Miles, Kongbo, Nelson PR: Desjarlas, Asotui, Schrot, McGuire, Simonise
  8. Does anyone have a summary of the "roster rules" for 2019? I have the one for last year: https://www.cfl.ca/game-rule-ratio/ and it called for a total of 46 players broken down as: 21 Non-Imports 20 Imports 3 qb's 2 reserve players (full pay but don't dress) I know that the new CBA made some adjustments, but I'm just not sure what the rules are. It's hard to speculate on the cuts/final roster without knowing the rules
  9. Thank you for your financial contribution to our economy!
  10. and the Riders couldn't be bothered to stream our pre-season game there.
  11. I appreciated the stream, even if it was a bit shaky. Big props to the guy that gave us a chance to watch the game, and a big raspberry to the Riders for not offering a proper stream. So glad the Bombers pulled off the win. So happy that many players stood up and made it tough on the coaches.
  12. If the CJFL can steam games for a modest fee, (Including both the Regina Thunder and the Saskatoon Hilltops) then the Riders ought to be able to figure it out.
  13. My regular seats are $340 each for this game. I just don't see the value here. It's a preseason game. I'm going to pass on this. I hope it works and they fill the place and make lots of money. Best case scenario is they fill it with Americans who come up, spend a pile of money, and then leave.
  14. Personally, I'm excited to watch the game tonight. I want to see what the local guys can do on the field, along with getting a good look at the newcomers and some of the second year guys that are bucking to move up on the depth chart. I have no issue with the vets getting a night off.

  16. Probably not. Really don’t follow the NFL much.
  17. I would suggest that wear and tear over a very long 18 game regular season is a significant consideration for the starting tailback on any team. Once you make the roster commitment to go Canadian at that spot, managing the amount of contact is paramount. We know what Harris can do as he is a proven vet. Give the training camp reps to the young guns. Harris can have non-contact practice reps in the week before our regular season opener. I would not play him more than 1 quarter in both preseason games combined. At this stage of his career, he can take mental reps.
  18. Mucho respect for Ricky Ray. Great player, even if he broke my Bomber heart multiple times.
  19. Brandon isn't anywhere near fielding a CJFL team for 2 reasons: Finance: It costs approx 350,000 per year to field a team in the PFC, driven by very high travel costs. Unless a very wealthy benefactor steps up, it's not likely to happen. The costs are lower in the BCFC as they can "day trip" to most of their games. Market Size: There have been some very good football players come out of Brandon, but it and the surrounding area just don't have enough players to compete at a national level. There are 3 high school teams in Brandon, that simply is too small of a pool of players to draw from. They are better suited to the MMJFL, where the costs are much lower. Chilliwack wouldn't be able to compete in the Prairie Conference. Actually none of the BC teams would. It's been 10 years since a BCFC team beat a PFC team in any game (there were a few inter-locking games a couple of years ago) and it really was only a small window "the Andrew Harris years" when a BC team won (06, 08, 09), The 07 game went to the PFC, as did every game for the 5 years before. The level of play is just much higher on the prairies. Most CJFL players that go on to the CFL do so through U sports. Typically a player will be with a CJFL club for 3-5 years and then jumps to the university level and plays there for another 2-4 years. There are some who go from CJFL directly to the CFL, but they are rare.
  20. I really enjoy several European Draughts
  21. and yet that was a very good Grey Cup experience. Great game in a sold out venue. I really enjoyed that one.
  22. The public airing of grievances isn’t a good omen for negotiations. I’m not saying that they are legit, just that it’s aired in the media even before talks start. This doesn’t set a good tone.
