I think one of the most disappointing parts of this will be the elimination of the "Local Sports Star of the Week".... that was a cool segment that featured a local amateur athlete who excelled at their sport... probably the highlight of most of those young men/women's sports career to get interviewed and get to be on TV... But hey, I want to know more about where Kyle Lowry is going to sign!!

Personally, I'd have Mike Reilly at number one, ahead of BLM... I think Bo is fantastic and would love him on my team... but I think Reilly has a better arm, more mobile (though that is starting to decrease with age/injuries), better improviser and is more likely to "carry a team on his back" so to speak... just my opinion... I'd also have Harris ahead of Messam... Harris is the better all-around back...

Completely agree... I remember watching that throw thinking there's no way he'll catch up to it...

For the sake of privacy let's just call him Patrick N.... no, that's too obvious... let's go with P. Neufeld... So let me get this straight... the Als sign Donnie O in FA... then release him before camp... only to bring him back after camp??

I actually like Neufeld as a game day 6th man... mostly due to his versatility and experience... also as the 6th man, he's unlikely to play enough to get hurt... but on the bombers... if we can get something in return, he would be a nice trade asset...

Ernest Jackson

I think what people tend to forget is he is a blogger... he voices his opinions and is trying to get clicks... I read his stuff just for a different opinion on the game but I also keep in mind his role and appreciate that he's no insider or analyst.... that being said, kinda sad that 1290 could get no better than a blogger to interview?

Did anyone see the penalty on 3rd down that extended the game?... I didn't see it live and they didn't show a replay... I always find it suspicious when there's no replay...

Stupid sexy Flanders...

clueless idiots on twitter sure make me laugh....

I only watched about an hour and a half of TC... but from what I saw Apodaca definitely had a rocket arm... but as we've discussed ad nauseum, it takes more than an arm to be a professional QB...

I disagree with your assessment of Nichols... but I definitely hope Davis passes him in the next few years... thanks for your input... one of the few people here who actually had eyes on the game!

I don't doubt your personal acumen... but unless you've actually been in the room with Walters and O'Shea, you have no idea if their "arguments" are actually head-butting or healthy debates... based on everything else we've heard, I would guess they are having healthy debates about every single player that comes through town... which is what I want from a GM and HC...

I ,too, always hoped Yantz would get a shot to make a CFL roster... but it's not like anyone else has signed him since his time here...

Are your legs ok?... I'm a little concerned about all these massive leaps you're taking...

Thanks for the great stories/memories @SpeedFlex27... also, I'm impressed with your staunch memory... I barely remember what I did Friday night...

Dammit Tracker, I'm not supposed to be tearing up while reading the around the league thread... seriously though, my condolences and it sounds like you made peace with your past which is great to hear... It looked like about 3.5-4 yards when I paused the Russ Hobson video... but hey, it's pre-season for the refs too! I think some disagreement between the GM and HC is important... if they agreed on everything, all the time, I might question their mindset...

straight up released?... bolded my three surprises (based on reports and history)... Apodaca - thought he'd stick around on the PR... though that is still an option... Lowder - I had heard he was having a decent camp... plus a TD in the game... Frederick - started half (ish) games at field side corner last year... I guess it was his spot to lose... and he did just that...

the CFL website had a 1 min recap that featured a Matt Nichols quote on screen for about 10 sec of it... pretty pathetic from the league... this was a pretty nice recap/highlight package for a pre-season game.... thanks for posting...

Were you at the game? (I'm obviously just assuming you live in Regina)

I think everyone is shocked that celebrities gave their kids normal names...

no, no... save it for July 1...

This is such a dumb argument... of course, every team would be better if they stayed perfectly healthy all season... but the reality is injuries are guaranteed to happen, so build some depth and fight through it... with the exception of losing your entire starting line-up, a really good team will continue to win even with injuries....

interesting point... not that you were trying to start this debate... but what is the better sum of parts?.... 2 dominant* import DTs with Hurl (or Miles) at MLB or a better import MLB with the Canadian rotating in at DT... If the D-line can mitigate runners getting to the next level, it reduces the need for a major thumper at MLB... just some food for thought/conversation... *to be determined

deleted... answered my own question!
