That's too bad.  I always enjoyed Matt, even if sometimes were tough, it was never as tough as listening to Barker.

I could see them changing one  panel member every year moving forward, they need a refresh.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without one of their prized free-agent acquisitions for the foreseeable future.

At the team's State of the Nation fan Q&A in Saskatoon on Saturday, head coach Corey Mace revealed that centre Sean McEwen will be "out a while" due to an injury suffered in training camp. Mace did not provide details on the nature of the injury or the timetable for return, saying only that "it sucks."

Good news -- one of the Herdman-Reeds can take McEwen's spot now... right?

Didn't the same thing happen to Yoshi last season?  Was it TC or PS or early weeks for him?  Whatever, he missed the whole season and was a bust of an acquisition (at least for 1 year).

Maybe SSK is doing something weird/rough in camps.  They seem to have bad luck with camp injuries.

Riderfans peanut gallery says McEwen likely out for the season (or at least a very long time).  Likely jack-of-all-trades Ferland moving to C, which is kind of a waste of his talents.

I wonder... if we had tons of success with Wallace and/or the 2 sophomore IMP OL and/or the new DPs and/or the new IMP rookies... could we use Eli for trade-bait to SSK?  Do we have anyone else in reserve that can play C?

Hardrick got hurt in week 6 last year in game against the Lions.

And there's zero chance we trade Tua Eli.

It's football. We didn't have much luck in camp lastyear either.

Conspiracy theory #4, it has something to do with playing on newly installed turf.

Game today.....Calgary at B.C. May 19th 1 p.m. Pacific standard time.

Game played in Victoria, sold out in ten minutes.

Maybe the ongoing boycott will boost CFL a bit.

CFL media presence is not great.

It will be streamed on CFL+

Looks like Rourke is starting for the Lions. Interesting to see head coach Buck Pierce.

P.J. Walker starts for Stamps.  https://www.stampeders.com/players/p-j-walker/160964/
