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

Hamilton has signed David Menard along with WR Dezmon Patmon who BC let go in the first round of cuts getting the roster down from 85 to 75. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/26/hamilton-tiger-cats-sign-canadian-dl-david-menard-sources/ Hard to figure out after their first game and reported comments ...

Re: Which helmet decal do you prefer for the Lions?

The new uniforms are a disaster all around, with dark orange numbers on black jerseys and no piping to distinguish them. From a distance you can't tell number 76 from 78, 66 from 69, 86 from 88 or 89, etc. The dark orange BC on black helmets is almost as bad, and has no design appeal. And here I've...

Re: Training camp 2024

Tiquan Mizzell might be just as much a casualty of the run schemes as he is by guys who showed better in TC and Stanback's signing suggesting he's the preferred back for the limited run package BC employs. The astute observation from Hambone and BC Fan etc seems to be that Brice has shown and grown ...

Re: Lions' receivers

Lucky didn't have a great season last year but I thought an opportunity to at least show in TC that he still had it would have been a good look, especially for a fan favourite. OTOH no other team has shown interest. Rhymes is a puzzler as didn't Campbell also have Rhymes as a player in Ottawa? Perh...

Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

Here is the reaction of players to the announcement. They didn’t need to hear 50 Cent’s name, just a bit of his music. https://youtube.com/shorts/H1sFTOPXXxM?si=GVK3WaWZvtTOJhF1 The players definitely know 50cent judging from that response and the ticket sales following! Could have got Kendrick Lam...

Where can you see these pre-season games live unless you're there?
they're all streaming live on CFL+
I thought that they only showed those on a delayed basis. Thanks for the info.

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

Bo Levi looking good as is Tim White. Could be a 100 reception year. Lots to like about Hamilton. I caught the Jim Barker segment on Rod Pedersen show on Friday as I was looking at the channels past Sportnet and it was on Game. Barker was at the end of a couple a days at each camp landing in MTL wh...

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...

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.

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...
