[jstewismybastardson]

Dean Valli re-signs with the Lions

"He's got good girth ... no flab ... he's a real good looking guy"

Legendary lineman Rob Murphy calls it a career.
He should be on TSN immediately. From the Argo's press release:


"Rob Murphy will be available to the media in person and will buy the first round of beer for those in attendance."

Dave Naylor (TSN) is tweeting the following:

Patrick Kabongo not out of football for long. Signs with BC Lions

Interested to see if Wally and company can get his head screwed on straight...

Ouch...Martell Mallett could be out for the season.

Ticats RB Mallett suffers apparent achilles injury

#CFLTrashTalk For all my Rider fan followers - a reminder. "XXXXXXXXXXXX" = good. "XXXXXXXXXXXXX" = bad.

Yup, or just take a case of beer into the huddle. If everybody gets one, you're good.

I realize it's only pre-season, but the Leos are putting the wood to the Riders.

20-3 just prior to the halftime gun.

 

[puckhead]

nice mess. Leo's pre-season depth chart

34-3 late in the 3rd quarter...Not sure who Mike Reilly is, but he's having a heck of a game as the BC pivot.

 

[puckhead]

lol. so that's twice today that the Riders have been called for illegal formation on kicks (one FG which cost them 3, one extra point)
you'd think that would be a bit of a talking point in practices for them.

Oh boy, this should be good...

Eskimos name Jyles starting quarterback over Joseph

season starts tonight!!!


Swaggerville to get stomped down a little bit.
BC Lions ready to rock after ?Blatantly disrespectful? tweet by Winnipeg DB

“That’s just [Hefney] being ignorant and not knowing when to be quiet,” said Korey Banks. “ Say what you want. We have the diamonds. Hefney can play. But him on Geroy all day, I’m taking Geroy. Him on Arland, I’m taking Arland. Him on [Johnson], I’m taking [Johnson]. I like our receivers over their secondary. It don’t matter. You can print it any kind of way you want.”

So Hefney talks trash before the Grey Cup, gets burned (more than once) during the game by the Lions, talks trash post-game and now is talking trash again? Do I have this right?

that about sums it up.

way to rile up the reigning champs right before the season starts.
also, Leos apparently have Meta World Peace on our side this year.

 

[puckhead]

should we start a new thread for a new season?

Riders stomp Hamilton (43-16) in the early game to get a jump on first place.
Winnipeg hanging close against BC in the 3rd quarter. 13-10 BC.

Big surprise, Buck Pierce started but did not finish.
his stat line: 3 for 9, for a total of 11 yards... sacked four times.
