Get It On eBay

 
Zero bids for this beauty? Do people realize this guy is a former Republican representative in the U.S. Congress. This is a Julius Caesar Watts Ottawa Rough Riders jersey. Watts was back to back Orange Bowl MVP (‘80-’81) and Grey Cup Offensive MVP in ‘81. If I didn’t already have four of these I would [...]

Arthritis, Osteoporosis and Cataracts May Unseat Allen

Damon Allen will turn 44 this year! Read that sentence again. And before training camp gets underway the scribes in TO are writing his obituary. Not one but two articles have already been penned outlining Allen’s possible demise. The men after his job are Michael Bishop, Eric Crouch, Mike McMahon and a guy named [...]

TCT: Eskimos

The Edmonton Eskimos are the final western division TCT preview. The Eskies made a bunch of changes this off season through free agent signings and retirements. One spot that has made for an interesting training camp battle is in the backfield.
RB: Leading rusher Troy Davis is gone. His potential replacements are: Ron McClendon he of [...]

O-Lineman Loses Weight – Still Fatteset On Team

Esks offensive lineman Patrick Kabongo dropped a reported 45 pounds in the offseason. The tiny tackle now weighs a svelte 325 – making him still the largest man on the team. Not surprisingly, the sale of chocolate chip cookies with macadamia nuts has plummeted at Edmonton area food stores. Not to confuse anyone, Kabongo put [...]

New Definition of Blue Chip?

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers pr person is using the word “blue chip” verrrry loosely. Normally I wouldn’t care about a team signing training camp fodder but the quote in the lead of the press release was too ridiculous to dismiss.
blue chip: “an outstandingly worthwhile or valuable property or asset or an athlete rated as excellent [...]

Riders Try To Replicate 2004 Iowa Hawkeyes

King Of The Jungle?

The Ti-Cats announced the signing of NFL veteran QB Shaun King. The former NFL starter actually won a playoff game as a rookie for the Tampa Bay Bucs. This must make Jason Maas feel pretty special. His team already traded for Saskatchewan’s Rocky Butler and Ti-Cats management was espousing the talents of former Hawaii standout Timmy Chang [...]

Tillman’s Got An Itchy Trigger Finger

ET has really put his stamp on the Roughriders. Geez. Pretty soon they’ll only have five returning players. Today retuner/rb Dominique Dorsey was dealt along with defensive end Dwan Epps to Winnipeg for OL/DL non-import Eric Wilson and the old favourite “player to be named later.” This is Tillman’s second trade of the week and14th [...]

TCT: BC Lions

The third team featured in our Training Camp Tilts is the reigning Grey Cup champs. The Lions don’t have many holes to fill and there are no interesting battles. But after a brief mental struggle we picked one.
LB: The apparent change to the 3-4 in BC means two starting position up for grabs. One [...]
