Anybody know of any decent live streaming sites for tonight's game? Stuck at work and would like to watch the game. Guess I always have Bob Irving to listen to if I can't find a decent stream.

i always go on reddit/r/cflstreams and there will be a few to choose from (also works well for nhl, mlb etc)

a few guys missing that I wanted to see, lots of talented guys getting cut/PRed this year. nice to have depth

considering we love to crap all over the refs 'round here I feel like to be fair I should compliment something I noticed tonight. It seems like some of that training they were doing with the NFL refs has paid off in one regard. You can debate the quality of the calls, but all night the penalty announcements were clear and consistent. It was a pet peeve of mine to hear refs stammering over the mic and making up the format of the announcement on the spot. Tonight it was infraction, team, player, penalty, result. A small thing but it helps the league look more professional.

yeah, except the two times that he messed up (roughing the passer in the first half and then the offsetting offside-roughing penalty in the second)

[PreSeason 1 - Lucky 36]

I wonder if we could get a pick for Castillo from Hamilton or Ottawa. If they are dire for a K, they might offer up a 6 or 7 to make sure they get him

[Rookie Camp]

is anyone there to provide updates for us poor souls that cant go?

[Rookie Camp]

will trade Arizona sun for Winnipeg rain so TC is nice. let me know who to call to arrange this!

[Royal Blue uniforms are officially back!!]

they both look fantastic!

[Bombers sign two release five]

Surprised at Stoudermire, figured he would come to camp and compete for the returning job before being cut.

[Alex Singleton: the best Canadian linebacker you’ve never heard about]

what the logical landing spot for him? who starts canadians at LB? toronto?

[Uniform changes with Adidas may not be dramatic]

I really hope that they are nice, I want to frame up my current Ken Ploen jersey since its signed and Ive just been lucky it hasnt gotten anything on it yet.  Its really a shame that no current bomber has really stolen my heart enough to get a jersey.  Even guys like Turner or Denmark who have been here forever are meh IMO.  Im torn between getting a Harris one or just putting my own name on it again.  Have til may to decide.

[[MERGED] Pre-Season Game 2 (Depth Chart etc)]

 

If I had to predict the 44 man roster today ...

 

QB - Willy, Brohm, Marve

RB - Cotton, Normand

FB - Pontbriand

REC - Moore, Denmark, Adams, Gordon, Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Richards, Bastien

OL - Bryant, Greaves, Picard, Chungh, Daniels, Goossen

 

DL - Westerman, Turner, Anderson, Peach, Gibson, I. Brown, Collins

LB - Hurl, Wright, Randle, Waggoner, Newman, Briggs

DB - Adams, Washington, Richardson, Bucknor, Jones, Unamba

S - Leggett, Sherman

 

K - Hajrullahu

LS - Rempel

KR - Stoudermire (whoever wins the job will go here until he's healthy - maybe Anderson? or maybe they split between Cotton/Gordon and dress a guy like Cameron Marshall also)

The Bombers should just announce this roster already. I don't know what they are waiting for.

 

i dont see them not carrying a 2nd Import running back, especially one that can return like anderson.

How I could see the non-imports shaking down:

 

Non-Imports (22, one will be a reserve)

 

46 Rempel, Chad LS National 6.02 225 1982-05-23 Saskatchewan

IR - One game

53 Neufeld, Patrick OL National 6.06 312 1988-12-26 Saskatchewan

 

Cut

18 Yantz, Jordan QB National 6.01 213 1990-05-10 Manitoba

36 Cronk, Tim FB National 6.00 245 1987-06-22 Bishop's

 

 

Practice Roster

72 Reaves, Jordan WR National 6.05 220 1990-01-25 Brandon University

37 Normand, Chris FB National 6.02 230 1991-10-17 Laval

58 Griffiths, Thomas OL National 6.03 275 1991-05-26 Wilfrid Laurier

50 Warden, Justin DB National 6.02 200 1990-09-26 Bishop's

21 Morgan, Brendan DB National 6.00 195 1993-09-28 Queen's

 

I like this, solid assessment.  I would like them to keep Yantz around on the PR as QB4 after cutting Marve/Portis but its doubtful.  I expect that the 1 man reserve would be one of the WR, so depends whos better for specials at that point.

[CFL Preseason B Other Games BC vs Cal / Mtl vs Ott / Ssk vs Edm]

Terence Jeffers-Harris, now thats a name I havent heard in a long time...

[Preseason - Game One - WPG @ TOR]

I had higher hopes for the RBs, very disappointed in all of them in last nights game.  I dont think Anderson makes the team because of one punt return but it could be a tiebreaker if its close.  IMO no one did enough to unseat Cotton, even with his less than stellar performance last night, so he starts week one.

[Preseason - Game One - WPG @ TOR]

does anyone know when the first cut down day is?

[TC Report - Day Four]

Excuse my ignorance but what is skeleton in reference too? It doesn't appear to be one on one drills or scrimmaging.

skeleton or skele is QBs, WRs, RBs vs DBs and LBs. used to practice passing plays with no pass rush.  called skeleton because it doesnt have any meat aka the linemen

[Rookie Camp Report May 29]

I imagine the 6th qb would be theo deezar, the Manitoba kid on the QB program this year

[Rookie Camp Day 3 (Reports and Discussion)]

thanks for the updates! keep it up!

[Chad Johnson to workout for Als]

As someone who works in the healthy industry I can't help but shake my head at his comments about fast food and walmart. Heck even if he's joking which it sounds like he is, he's still a professional athlete. You should hold yourself in a higher regard. It's just plain embarrassing to be talking about fast food when you should be concentrated on football.

he's not joking, he loves mcdonalds. if you remember Hard Knocks when he was on it, he had the camera with him when he went through the drive thru and got a crazy amount of food.  its his body, let him eat what he wants. he works his tail off to stay in shape, so who really cares
