Re: Training camp 2024

On the defensive line, Marcus Moore continued to take first-team reps for Christian Covington (tendonitis). Thanks, as usual, for the great report, B.C.FAN. Was this a typo? I was under the impression that Covington tweaked a hamstring. I thought only Sayles had tendonitis, but perhaps that changed...

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

Sorry Don, but I have to disagree. Bo has hung on too long for love of game. Arm strength isn't there, no mobility, accuracy meh...he's a shadow of his former self (leadership is still there though but that can't win you a lot of football games on its own). I can see the same thing happening with Bi...

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

How concerned should Ti-Cats fans be with Bo Levi turning up at training camp in a walking boot, coming off an injury-plagued 2023 campaign in which the veteran signal caller had a QBR of 67.5%? Mitchell, 34, was back taking reps with the offence today, but yikes, it's just Mitchell, Taylor Powell, ...

Re: Training camp 2024

Kind of a cool 90 second byte below in which Rick Campbell gets asked about 19-year old receiver Colton Meikle (Kamloops Broncos). He gets a lot of love from the Head Coach. Maybe someone to keep an eye on in a year or two as he's currently a non-counter. https://x.com/Jeffrey_Andreas/status/1790063...

Re: Training camp 2024

Thanks for your excellent reporting, BC FAN. This from the Leos X feed this morning: #BCLions have released American P/K Shane McDonough & American WR Jamarius Way from the training camp roster. A bit surprised at Way. He was with us 2 years ago and showed a lot of promise. I thought he was goin...

League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

Chad Kelly has just been suspended by the CFL for the preseason and a minimum of 9 regular season games and ordered to undertake counselling for violating the league's Gender-Based Violence policy. He won't be reinstated until the league is satisfied that he has completed counselling and met the ass...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB

I feel badly for Rourke. Probablly has more talent than half the starters in the NFL (he engineered 5 TD drives on 9 drives in preseason for the Jags). I believe he was given bad advice, going into a situation with Trevor Lawrence as the franchise QB and Beathard the established #2 (it probably shou...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)

Wow. CFL.ca mock draft had Una at #33 overall and we take him at #6. How do we explain this disparity?

Re: Lions, Bombers and Ti-Cats fined for exceeding salary cap

And all this time I thought it was the Bombers who were the culprits. Turns out, we exceeded them by $60K!

Re: Horrific kickoff collision has likely ended Hinsberger’s career

That was both a sad and inspiring read. Hinsperger showed a lot of promise on special teams so I am disappointed that he won't be returning but above all, wish him the best for a full recovery. :thup: This may be an unpopular take but I am not a fan of the return rules being messed with. If there is...

Re: Training camp 2024

I'm torn. I love that the Concert Kick-Off is becoming a staple of the Doman era, with crowds in excess of 30,000 and a buzz built around the team. My concern has been that, while the diehards know that there are only 2 preseason games in which to evaluate and there are fewer padded practices at tra...

Re: Training camp 2024

The change is disappointing in the sense that FanFest at Hillside Stadium has always had a festival atmosphere, even though attendance has dwindled over the years. Why do you suppose that is? I would have expected attendance to increase over time as popularity builds with exposure and engagement (i...

Re: Lions' receivers

IF he (ever) comes up here, it's likely going to cost a bundle to sign him. Also, if ego was an issue in the NFL, then I am not sure how it is going to get massaged playing in the CFL. He lasted just 2 years with with the organization (Steelers) that drafted him, playing for a no-nonsense coach (Tom...
