Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup Thread

Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami FC team will be playing in Vancouver against the Whitecaps FC on Saturday, May 25, 2024. I'd say it will defintely be a sellout and I wonder if they will open the upper bowl as if though it were the Grey Cup. Let's just hope Lionel Messi won't get injured prior to t...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

A real indepth BC Fan type report from the Argos TC. It's not just about QBs either. Quarterback Good report on Arbuckle but for me it's his lack of consistency - not dissimilar to Dane Evans - at least that is how I see these two in the CFL. Hot or cold. No middle ground. Arbuckle finished the game...

Re: Training camp 2024

B.C. Fan, I continue to be amazed at the detail of your reporting. How do you do it? Do you talk into a recorder as you see stuff, or film it on a phone, or do you write things down? Doing the latter would cause you to miss stuff, me thinks. Haha. After years of writing notes on paper during practi...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

While I've mostly considered Weston Dressler as a Rider, he's mulling if he goes into the HOF as a Bomber given that he really felt he grew as a person with the latter. My view is that these guys should go in in the last uniform they played in and not these fake 1 day contracts. Rider fans will be a...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Meanwhile in Edmonton, the Elks TC has been experiencing discipline issues. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/23/that-s-cant-happen-elks-searching-for-more-discipline-after-training-camp-altercation/ It seems like a perennial happening in the Chris Jones' era. That sounds a bit like a Chris Jones tea...

Re: Training camp 2024

Interesting on the numbers. Surprised a bit that the holdovers didn't get their same numbers for TC unless prior arrangements were made to accommodate a super star.

Funny how since the CFL numbers have changed that that the 70s for REC's aren't as coveted as the 80s.

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

If nothing else, Nick Arbuckle can be another voice of experience for Cameron Dukes if Dukes is showing the promise he showed last year. Also, given how his career has gone in the CFL he won't be a disturbance or problem if he's not starting. Dukes may have just looked good due to how well the Argos...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Bombers couldn't make a deal to bring back the likes of Billy Hall from last year's TC QB competition ? :hypno: They released him last year - or God told them to - and now he's a HS football coach and QB for Sioux City Storm indoor league. His team isn't doing great but a video of him here: https:/...

Re: Training camp 2024

Stanback seemed to he getting the day off today. I wonder if that was to give the other 3, Mizzell, Agyei-Obese and newcomer Terrell big chunks of reps. For only arriving yesterday Terrell (5'10 210) did not look at all out of place . They must really like Terrell to sign him with camp already unde...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Bombers lost starting OT Hardrick to the Riders; starting DE Jeffcoat to retirement;; starters like Bighill (better moved to W-OLB IMO) and Neufeld are getting long in the tooth;; also lost starting receiver Bailey and Canadian depth receiver Oleary-Orange. And DB Houston is gone. A lot challenges ...

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

Fairly decisively worded comment from Chad Kelly as he steps back from camp seems like a positive move at this point. No doubt there is lots still going on behind the scenes. I would like to see him back. Highly doubt the plaintiff is paying her own legal fees as a civil case would be expensive. St...

Re: Training camp 2024

Will BC keep all 4 QBs as last year? I'd assume Dolegala and Prukop are locks on spots. Will BC with 3 QBs have Prokup do short yardage as he did with the Bombers. Not aware of Chase Brice much as IIRC he didn't play in a game last year so is he under a sophomore challenge of show progress or be rel...

Re: Training camp 2024

Great TC insights and information here. Evaluating overall offensive production in practices is never easy as the DEF gets pretty comfortable in knowing the OFF plays and pass routes. I don't expect to be seeing posts on specific run plays this comment that divulges nothing hopefully isn't a sign th...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Randy Ambrosie is not makiing sense in this story condemniing an appeal. Even a serial killer caught in the act of murder is given a date in court. An astute Commissioner would not go as far as this one when a player exercises his right to appeal. Secondly, Indefinite suspensions assume the right to...
