GA Russell Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 OJ Brigance is now Baltimore's Senior Player Development Advisor. Yesterday he received this year's Halas Award for overcoming adversity. Yet another CFL alum with ALS. Something is going on, and I hope the doctors find out soon what it is. http://www.pressboxonline.com/2014/06/16/oj-brigance-wins-football-writers-halas-award http://www.cbssports.com/general/writer/gregg-doyel/24102946/oj-brigance-cant-speak-but-his-words-always-hit-their-target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 As I say every year at this time, I love the week leading up to Opening Day because everyone publishes their pre-season previews.

I remember when the Renegades folded and the Bombers returned to the East, they said that they would not go back to the West again. My thinking at that time was that they figured it would be easier to make the playoffs playing in the East. Maybe the league offered so much money to make the switch again that they couldn't turn it down.

I have to think that their offense problems are related to the dismissal of Rick Worman a couple of weeks ago. ***** Eskimos 27....Lions 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4705155 See-saw battle for three quarters, but Kevin Glenn threw four interceptions. ***** Roughriders 31....Tiger-Cats 10 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4705321 The Ticats were never in it. Sask rookie running back Anthony Allen had a huge day. And the Ticats' o-line looks pretty bad. The Ticats are the youngest team in the league this year. ***** Because the three Eastern teams all lost, the RedBlacks are alone in first place before ever playing a game! ***** The Bombers signed Romby Bryant. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4705231 The Bombers also suspended Korey Banks. He asked for his release, and they suspended him for the time being, apparently so they wouldn't have to pay him. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4705464 ***** Mo Price broke his hand against the Als.

Chevron Walker scored the team's first-ever points with his touchdown. But the Bombers clawed back, and took the lead for the first time with a little over two minutes left in the game. Bombers rookie Nic Grigsby scored three TDs, and had a great game. ***** The Bombers released Korey Banks, and thus lost the $60,000 signing bonus they gave him. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=456380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Glenn threw another two INTs, making it 6 in two games. He threw only 7 all last year. ***** Eskimos 28....Ticats 24 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=456477 Great game! The Esks took the lead with a Grant Shaw FG with less than two minutes left. On the last play of the game, Ticat QB Dan LeFevour was stopped on a quarterback sneak from the two.
