I don't disagree. I think its dumb. 

The CFL is NOT changing balls. The pictures were prototypes and nothing more.

Quote

However, CFL director of communications Paulo Senra told 55-Yard Line Thursday that these balls are just prototypes the league regularly receives (illustrating different manufacturing possibilities) that Mitchell was impressed with. He said they're not contemplating any changes to the game balls right now.

From some tweets included in Mitchell's feed, it was said the stitched balls tried a few years affected the trajectory but Mitchell said that wasn't a problem with the prototype.

I just hope it never happens.

I really wish some of the vultures around here would actually do a little research before trying to criticize the league. The CFL already made a statement that they have no plans to switch the ball around.

If they do change the ball, just remove the stripes altogether.  Yeah it might look like the NFL ball, but whatever.  It'll still have our CFL logo on it.

whats the deal with collaros? is he still out or.. seems like some talk of him not being ready..

A better question is...Where is The Muamba Mambo tour at? We should have a gps map allowing us to follow his next North American tour.

The CFL has announced that no teams were over the SMS cap in 2015.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Zach Collaros is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last September and is unlikely to take part in on-field activities as the Ticats open their 2016 mini-camp on Tuesday.

...

But as the on-field preparation for the 2016 season gets underway, the biggest question mark is still when Collaros will be ready to play. It won't be answered this week, no matter how many times it gets asked.

"I can't answer that," Collaros said. "I really don't know."

Hmmm ... that doesn't sound good. Shouldn't he be recovered by now? How long does an injury of that type take to heal?

Okay, I looked it up. 6 - 9 months.

Sounds like there's a good chance that Collaros could miss our week 3 (July 7th) game at Hamilton.

I think you misheard him. I clearly heard him say "why did they do that?"

More like "SELFIE!"

Hahaha...top shelf political humour gentlemen.

Zach Anderson is in Ticats minicamp.

As noted elsewhere, Zach Collaros is not among the QBs participating in Hamilton's mini-camp. (Still recuperating).

Interestingly, other notable names are: 

Kickers include:  former Ticat Delbert Alvarado, who was with the club briefly in 2013 before moving on to Montreal and Ottawa. Former Sask. punter Ray Early, and former RedBlack Brett Maher.

Then you have Geoff Tisdale, former Ticat defensive back. Scott Mitchell, who was drafted second overall by Edmonton in 2011, signed in Toronto as free agent in 2014 and played nine games for the Argos last season, including one start. AND Also at camp, American defensive tackle Zach Anderson who was cut by the Bombers in February after their free agent spending spree.

Poor Zach, he's going to have a hard time cracking their D-Line, better opportunity in T.O. or Otwa.

 If Tisdale is starting for HAM this year there is something very wrong with HAM's scouting. He stopped being an effective player at least 2 years ago.

Anderson has a good shot at making the import DT spot .Its only the DEs that are penciled in.
