I actually like this Tuscaloosa guy... I laugh several times at every one of his posts... I especially love the condescending tone.... "I know more about football than all of you combined".... hahaha

He posts on the other Bombers forum. Might be getting info there and making up the rest. I recall when he first started on OB the reports were borderline but got progressively more outrageous to the point where he was banned. Hahaha yes nailed it... I remember now, that's exactly what happened...

Thanks for the analysis Captain Blue and Booch... almost as good as being there....

Good for Weatherman... err Westerman... bad on Daniels. any reports for our awesome group of long-haired Cdn LBs - Hurl, Newman, Waggoner and Briggs. I'm fairly sure Hurl and Newman have recently cut their hair... well Newman not so recently as he showed up last year with short hair... anyways, someone at camp please confirm this report... this is the kind of stuff we NEED updates on!

kBF, do you mean the dude that promised to be seen at training camp in the stands wearing a "white top"? I honestly thought I saw Coach Mike Kelly this week wandering around the city, holding hands with some gal. I remember that guy... always claimed to be speaking with scouts/coaches/media in attendance, etc... entertaining at least...

Good for him... I'm glad we're not that desperate though

Remember when we used to argue about who was good enough to even start... now we're arguing about how good our back-ups are... I'll take this...

Perhaps the most CFL moment of the day!

8:30 - 12:45 http://www.bluebombers.com/media_schedule Thanks

It's probably in the thread somewhere but I didn't want to read all 10 pages... what time is main camp at on sunday?

couldn't be further from the truth there is very good music out there we just never see it in Canada because of our horrible radio rules if you go even into North Dakota or Minneapolis and catch a rock and roll radio station there is tons of good stuff out there. sorry for poor formatting of this post, my android voice to text blows There is a Lot of good music, new and old. You have to look for it though, commercial stuff is pretty bad. David Letterman had a lot of good new music on his show. Anyone who says "rock is dead" is clueless... they expect to get slapped in the face with the next Zeppelin... unfortunately it doesn't work that way.... there are a lot of good rock bands out there... you just gotta do a little searching!

Lirim is #70... and yeah Troy was 74 when he was an emergency, out of retirement signing....

Funny that you say that... CITI is on in the background at the office right now and that song was just on about 15 mins ago...

I'd probably watch that...

I sure hope so. I'll be watching all the Winnipeg channels tonight for their sports updates. Those five seconds the news media devote to the Bombers this time of year are gold! "In sports today, the Bombers opened rookie camp (show pool footage from old Winnipeg stadium era of Doug Brown walking around talking to Ike Charlton) so the season has begun! And now on to other sports news, Paul Maurice sneezed today..." hahaha yep... that's why I'm looking for info here!

Drew Edwards reporting there is no truth to this rumour.... sorry BlueBomberTalk, reasonably entertaining blog but limited credibility in reporting news...

Anyone going to rookie camp today?

Also did you notice the Canadian team ****-kicking the American team in whatever game that was?? And this ball size news is mind boggling...

Depends where he lines up eventually. If he has the size to play wideout then he'll most likely ever only play on one side of the field, reducing the number of routes on the tree by 50%. And it's not like every team uses a zillion different routes, I can't see him learning (or knowing) being that big of an issue. Just gives you an idea. Where were you when Mike Kelly was coaching.... I couldn't help but notice the jet sweep is not listed here...

Thanks for the summary Mike... After watching some tape I think I like the idea of Brown at DE, rather than LB... also explains why you had him starting at DE on the starters projection thread... I was scratching my head a bit cuz I noticed you asked Bauming about that on Twitter and he speculated MLB... no mention of Denicos Allen at LB??

I'm a little disappointed that I got beat out for the MLB spot.... I couldn't help but notice you still need a LS and holder...

Is there more to this than just BlubBomberTalk tweeting a rumour?? I'll wait till a reputable source says something about it...

One of his biggest positives is he's a hands catcher and is good at high-pointing the ball... at 6'5 playing against DBs who are typically around 5'10-11... that will be a very valuable skill... EDIT: I guess hands catching and high-pointing should qualify as 2 positives...

I also wouldn't be surprised if he made it... good size for DE... should have enough speed... worst case scenario is it brings some American attention to the CFL... The "plus" side to him getting cut is it shows that CFL is no push-over for former NFL draftees... That was proved a long time ago. To CFL fans, yes... but most NFL fans still think the CFL is bush league and any NFLer can dominate here...

I wasn't aware of his veteran combine numbers... that could definitely hurt him if he isn't in better shape...
