GA Russell Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Remember former Argo Eric Crouch, the Heisman Trophy-winning Nebraska QB whom no one in the NFL would let play QB? He's now trying out for the Omaha UFL team. http://www.theglobea...article2051514/ Edited June 8, 2011 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor announced Tuesday that he would turn pro. He is on Sask's neg list. I don't think that he would sign with a CFL team, however, because there is a minimum two-year commitment. He might play in the UFL, or he might apply for the NFL supplemental draft and wait out the lockout. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=368289 ***** TSN is filming a four-part documentary on the Argos. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=368365 ***** The Lions have signed Kamau Peterson. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=368370 ***** The Riders will announce that their profit this past year was $6.6 million. As I recall, the Green Packers' profit for 2009 was only $9 million. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/saskatchewan-roughriders-credit-fans-for-doubling-profits-this-year/article2052920/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 The two weeks of pre-season games began last night. British Columbia Lions 24....Calgary Stampeders 0 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=369087 Not many starters after the first quarter. Calgary kept to a vanilla defence.

GA Russell Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 TSN has posted its previews of the eight teams. I love the newspaper issues with the pre-season previews!

GA Russell Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Saskatchewan Roughriders 23....Edmonton Eskimos 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=369292 A fun game. Durant and Ray didn't dress. Two weeks ago, the Esks opened camp with four veteran kickers, and Jamie Boreham and Louie Sakoda have already been let go. With the score 23-21 on the last play of the game, Derek Schiavone tried a 55 yard field goal which went wide for a single point. Their fourth kicker is Damon Duval, who will probably get the job. The wind in Regina gusted to 80 kph (that's 48 mph)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 In listening to the four games this week, I ascertained the radio stations of all eight teams. You will need Windows Media Player to listen to them. All games are available on the internet free of charge. Montreal Alouettes - CJAD http://www.cjad.com/ Toronto Argonauts - (CHUM) TSN 1050 http://www.tsn.ca/radio/ Hamilton Tiger-Cats - CHML http://www.900chml.com/ Winnipeg Blue Bombers - CJOB http://www.cjob.com/ Saskatchewan Roughriders - CKRM http://www.620ckrm.com/ Calgary Stampeders - CHQR http://www.qr77.com/ Edmonton Eskimos - CHED http://www.630ched.com/ BC Lions - Team 1410 http://www.teamradio.ca/ ***** I have determined that at least two teams will have weekly shows (each on their respective station) - the Argos and the Ticats. Both shows are Monday at 7:00 pm eastern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 The Argos announced their final cuts today, including Danny Brannagan and a guy named Boatman (which is sad). http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/argos-cut-canadian-qb-danny-brannagan/article2075069/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=369893 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Calgary Stampeders 37....Edmonton Eskimos 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=369932 Edmonton's got a long way to go. Eric Tillman has overhauled the team. At the end of last year they had 62 players on the active, practice and injured rosters. Leading up to tonight's game (that is to say, after one pre-season game), 38 were already gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yesterday was cutdown day, but I haven't found the lists for a number of teams. Among the cuts were Chris Leak, Marcus Adams and Reggie McNeal. Brad Sinopoli made the Stamps, so he will be the league's only Canadian QB. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=369986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 The Bombers cut only rookies. They will be going with essentially the same lineup that won only 4 games last year. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Winnipeg/2011/06/26/18336076.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
