    He's missed the last two days of camp due to an injury so there's not much to report on.
  2. A good friend of mine is a diehard penguins fan and he says lemieux and burkle have been butting heads for a while. He said it goes back to at least last May when they fired Ray shero. Mario wanted to keep him but burkle flexed his muscle as majority owner. Whether or not thats the reason, who knows but it could play a part in this.
  3. Hopefully that's specific enough for some posters.
  4. Actually it sounds like the games will be on TSN1290, not CJOB... So.... Source? From the link in the OP: Fans can tune in to TSN radio stations across the country for live coverage of the CFL pre-season, including both games featuring the Alouettes on TSN Radio 690 in Montréal, Both Blue Bombers games on TSN Radio 1290 in Winnipeg, both games featuring the Redblacks on TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa, both games featuring the Lions on TSN Radio 1040 in Vancouver, and the Argos first pre-season game on Tuesday, June 9 on TSN Radio 1050 in Toronto.

    We're with First National and our term is almost up. We've been doing the variable mortgage & they've offered us a very similar deal to renew. We will probably renew with them but we're still going to shop around a little bit and see if someone can beat that.
  6. Phoenix replaced Mash Up. Kodi is (and always has been in my experience with it) a mixed bag as far as longevity goes . Add ons for TV shows & movies (like 1Channel, Genesis, etc) never seem to go away but the ones streaming live content are much more likely to go down. How long each one of those streaming add ons last varies quite a bit too. I just enjoy them while I can & look for a new one when I need to (unless I hear about one from someone in the meantime).
  7. Not a fan of giving up a 1st rounder... hopefully he turns out to be worth it or they're working on a deal that brings us another 1st rounder (maybe as part of a Greaves trade if there actually is one).
  8. The TSN feeds weren't working for me on any of the add-ons I tried (Phoenix itself was working for other feeds though). I looked around a little bit and it seems TSN changed their encryption about a month ago so that's why the feeds aren't working at the moment. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before someone cracks it though. I'm trying to find the ESPN schedule for this year so I can find an alternate feed if the TSN ones aren't working. The CFL website is pretty dated (they only have the 2013 US TV schedule posted) so hopefully something pops up soon.
  9. I'll check it out when I get home tonight but it's been working for me. I've been watching the nhl playoffs (albeit on nbc sports) and haven't had any problems.
  10. I've used Kodi a lot over the last 6 months but haven't had a chance to try it on a bomber game yet. For TSN streams (when they are up) I use either the Phoenix or Vdubt25 add-ons.

    Mad Max looks amazing.... they did reshoots because the studio thought the movie was looking so good that they pumped in tens of millions of more dollars to make it even more awesome! I went to Mad Max last night and it was great, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 (mainly for the visuals). It sure isn't the low budget indy film that the original was and they put every dime to pretty good use. I'd recommend seeing it in theatres rather than waiting to watch at home. I thought it was interesting that the same actor was the main villain in this one (as Immortan Joe) & the original ( as Toecutter). He's completely unrecognizable in this one though so if you didn't know beforehand, you probably would never imagine it was the same guy.
  12. GGG whooped Munroe pretty easily tonight. He wants Canello next (which would be a fun fight to watch). If Mayweather is serious about only having one fight left in him, I can't see him fighting someone as dangerous as GGG.
  13. Look a few posts up (post #11 to be exact).
  14. If all Sask-born players long to go back home, maybe you should let Rory Kohlert know he re-signed with the wrong team then.
  15. I'm satisfied for now, time will tell in the end though as it does with all drafts. Like most, I was disappointed in the lack of name recognition in some of the picks but after reading more, I'm a little more optimistic. Duane Forde says Morgan is a smart player & one of the best athletes available in the draft. His lack of name recognition may be due to the fact that he only played 2 games last year after being ruled academically ineligible. His old DC from Queens (Pat Tracey) is now our ST coach so there is some familiarity there & he seems pretty versatile (he also played RB at Queens for a bit).
  16. It was very easy to tell during the fight who actually follows boxing (and had seen Mayweather fight before) and who hadn't. Floyd didn't do anything in that fight that he hadn't done many times before.
  17. The lawsuits will go nowhere. They'll make lawyers richer and that's about it. There's a good blog from a lawyer in BC about combat sports law you can read about it. http://combatsportslaw.com/2015/05/05/proving-fraud-in-nevada-following-mayweather-pacquiao-record-ppv-bout/ In short, based on his legal opinion, they will have a tough time winning based on the fact the plaintiffs will have to prove that they would have changed their plans if they had known about the injury (how do you prove something that didn't happen?) and that there is no law that states the fighters have to make their injuries known to anyone other than the commission. I don't know the Nevada medical privacy laws but the NSAC may not have been able to release that info with out Pacquiao's consent, even if they were aware of it. That being said, the lawsuits referenced in the article are in Nevada, every state has different laws so maybe they've got better luck elsewhere.
  18. He hadn't signed a contract at the time of the CFL draft though. Drafted May 6th and signed with green bay on May 10th.
  19. How exactly do you put dicks in a bag? Do you have to cut them off first? Replace the box with a bag & there you go.
  20. They are a pretty deep team, Ryan Pilon is another guy who should go in the 1st few rounds this year. They (Povorov & Pilon) are ranked 2nd & 8th ranked for North American defensemen by NHL Central Scouting. They've got a few guys already drafted besides their young guns too. John Quennevelle (New Jersey), Peter Quennevelle (Columbus), Morgan Klimchuk (Calgary), Reid Duke (Minnesota) & Jace Hawryluk (Florida) all got picked up.
  21. Ivan Povorov will be a 1st round pick this year. Nolan Patrick is being touted as a very high pick (top 5) next year.
  22. I think it would have been more one-sided if they had fought 5-6 years ago. Pacquiao's team was banking on Mayweather being too old to keep moving like that for 12 rounds last night, I'm not sure what they're strategy would have been back then.
  23. Covington went to Houston.

    I'm pretty sure it did go down before but popped back up.
