GA Russell Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The Bombers announced today that construction of their new stadium will not be completed this year, and that they will have to play the entire season at Canad Inns Stadium. This is not a big surprise to the skeptical. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/blue-bombers-forced-to-delay-stadium-move-until-2013-season/article4267269/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=398451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) You may want to bookmark this post. Here again is the link to the 2012 schedule. http://cfl.ca/schedu...012/time_zone/0 ***** I have verified that the radio broadcast partners of all eight teams will remain the same as last year. The radio broadcasts of all of the games are carried on the internet for free. Look for the "Listen Live" button on each site. You will need to first download (for free) Windows Media Player in order to listen. Here are the URLs of each website. Montreal Alouettes http://tunein.com/ra...JAD-800-s31204/ Toronto Argonauts http://www.tsn.ca/Toronto/ Hamilton Tiger-Cats http://www.900chml.com/ Winnipeg Blue Bombers http://player.cjob.com/ Saskatchewan Roughriders http://www.620ckrm.com/listenlive.php Calgary Stampeders http://tunein.com/radio/AM-770-s31172/ Edmonton Eskimos http://player.630ched.com/ British Columbia Lions http://tunein.com/ra...am-1410-s31148/ ***** All of the league's television broadcasts are carried on cable network TSN. I believe that TSN puts its broadcasts on their website live, but only for residents of Canada. Immediately upon the completion of the game, the broadcast is put onto its website for viewing by those outside Canada. Here is the link to TSN's library of games played: http://watch.tsn.ca/cfl-games-on-demand/#clip707716 ***** The TSN link wasn't working, so I have today June 23 replaced it with one that is.

GA Russell Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ricky Santos was cut by the Als last week, and joins the Argos today.

GA Russell Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hamilton Tiger-Cats 26....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 25 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=398866 Eric Wilbur missed a 38 yard field goal attempt on the last play of the game which would have given the Bombers the win. That miss may have cost him a spot on the roster. He's an American, and with the import ratio, an American has to be exceptional to make a team as a kicker.

GA Russell Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 The Als have cut Kyle Quinlan, and he will return to McMaster for a fifth year. ***** Eskimo offensive coordinator Marcus Crandell has been out the past ten days with mono. This makes me even more pessimistic about the team going into the year with Jyles and Joseph at quarterback. No links yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Dave Naylor is reporting that the league is set to announce a US tv deal with broadcasts for the second half of the season and all playoff games including the Grey Cup, live. The league has said for years that the money is secondary when it comes to a US television contract. It needs the exposure for recruiting purposes. The more American college players see the CFL games on tv, the more likely they will be willing to sign with the league. No link yet.
