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

Hamilton signed Stephen Dunbar after Elks let him go to avoid a $65K roster bonus. But that's not my point. Here's his UFL stats: The 28-year-old signed in the UFL following his release from the Elks and played one game for the Houston Roughnecks after starting the season on the inactive list. He wa...

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

Hambone, I confused Henry with now gone Carey who moved onto the Argos. Maybe Mizzell could be moved positionally as he can't do "smoke" in a BC run scheme as it's designed for the Stanback type of ball carrier who can get to the second level and take on LBs, DBs. That is where this guy ge...

Re: Training camp 2024

I think VA doing short yardage is not just gambling on short yardage but gambling on your starter's health. Not a wise decision. If you haven't a back up able to run short yardage and you have little to no creativity on how you run, put Stanback at QB. As it is these teams don't all use QBs on FGs ...

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

Argos sign kick returner Janarion Grant. Turns out he goes off the grid in winter but how in the bleep did it take this long to sign him. Bombers claim they had no financial room. Yah, he fumbled at times but overall he's a great returner. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebom...

Re: Training camp 2024

A nice training camp update article by Moj on the releases of Mizzell and Prokup. Campbell says they will begin the season with VA running the short yardage offence. https://www.similkameenspotlight.com/sports/the-moj-crunch-time-looms-as-lions-look-to-shape-their-final-roster-7366161 I think VA do...

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!

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.

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...
