    How did they get it wrong? These players are supposed to be role models for kids, and frankly that's not an example I want my kids to look up to. Maybe, like Super Duper Negatron, I'm too much of a square too, but I just don't get how anyone can see this suspension as being wrong.

  7. I honestly think that Jennings is such a gun slinger there will be chances for turn overs. Just gotta have the offense going cause he's probably going to make some plays as well. Keep up and win when the mistake happens. That's what they did on the streak, need to do it now

  8. Oh my! We're starting to sound like a bunch of Rider fans here. Johnson screwed up. He took a banned substance and now he must live with the consequences. The ones that are trying to justify it are sounding silly and somewhat rider fanish.

  9. No, the joke was the CFL never having a drug testing program before because former CFLPA President Scott Flory fought it tooth & nail until he was replaced by the CFL players themselves who actually wanted a program in place. The guy got caught. He has to serve the suspension. Two games. That's it. So, I don't think it's a joke at all. Stamps DT Quinn Smith just returned from his 3 game suspension. He got 3 games instead of 2 as he was suspended before by the CIS in the off season after his draft year.

  12. I have no issue with what is and isn't on the list. The list was agreed upon by the CFL and the CFLPA. My very limited understanding is that there is a PED and a Non-PED version of this particular tested drug. They likely can't tell which one was in his system at the time of the test, so they just ban it completely. I personally don't care what recreational drugs anyone takes and I don't have any issues with the police enforcing any laws regarding illegal drugs either. It's a choice. Take illegal drugs and you run a chance that you could be charged (or in this case suspended). Don't like the law, try to get it changed. Personally, I'd like to see most soft drugs legalized and taxed to the hilt. Sure, it makes the government the dealers, but it also guarantees the quality, adds tax money that doesn't come out of my pocket and eats into drug dealer profit margins. All of which are good things IMO.

    Both teams defenses are suspect. BC has the better offense and tops the league in rushing. We are 5th against the run, so the cool weather may play into their strength. BC has the highest punt and punt return averages. We have the best average against punt returns and we beat them in FG %. BC's number 1 in penalties taken. We are 7th. BC's only given the ball away 22 times (We're @ 21 having played one less game). We lead the league in takeaways @ 45 for a +24 (BC's @ -1). Home field hasn't been much of an advantage for us. A BC win means they get a playoff spot and likely 2nd in the West. A Bomber win means we keep our 2nd hopes alive. Both the Argos and the Als need to lose for us to get a playoff spot this weekend. I can hardly wait for the game to start. Should be a playoff atmosphere.

    This is yet another "must win" game. Bombers must pressure Jennings, contain BC receivers and for God's sake- don't fall behind in the first half or the game will be lost. If the Bombers lose, the rails will be greased on a downhill slope.

    Bruce Johnson Suspended

    Johnson made the mistake, not the CFL or the CFLPA. He knew, or should have known, that he was taking a banned drug. He got caught and got suspended exactly like the rules said he would. Nothing to look at here folks. Just another athlete who thinks the rules don't apply to them.

  16. To me the issue here is that the CFL does not test for recreational drugs and the only reason BJ got busted is that they have wrongly classified this drug as performance enhancing. BJ could have been doing coke all night with no issue but then he popped a pill and because the CFL has it classified as a PED he gets busted. I think that is wrong and silly. I'm sure many don't agree but it is a mistake on the part of the CFL and CFLPA.

    1 Mo, the tackle on 3rd and inches to save the game. That after coming back from a serious knee injury. A great return on a fg miss, and a big pick. 2 Dressler. Couple great catches, and that huge run around in the end zone giving up the saftey to kill nearly all of the game time. 3. Fogg. Some great punt returns, giving us key field position late in the game. A couple big tackles in the flats one on one too. HH. The crazy direct snap to kohlert, toss to nichols for a td. What a play.

    I cannot describe how big a play Moe Leggett had in that tres exciting game. Play of the game, week, and month. Never mind his stellar play in the game itself. Big int. And to come back into the game after being injured. What a player.

  28. The difference between the legal and illegal drugs is beyond silly in many cases. Alcohol is probably more destructive then all but the hardest drugs. If you track any huge money industry far enough down the rabbit hole you find awful destructive stuff. Any time you get such a high value in an industry of any sort you get the kind of people who would do any thing to protect it.

  30. If Johnson took a legal drug or even an illegal drug that wasn't on the list, he'd have been OK. That not what he did, so it's not much of an argument IMO.

    Points off turn over are huge, game changing events. They can be really big too, if they help you flip bad field position even if you dont score though too. If you force a turn over in the red zone then drive for 2-3 first downs get a good punt and pin em deep in there own end thats massive momentum and a good rest for the D. But yeah scoring off turn overs is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

  36. Any pro athlete stupid enough to be doing a club drug mid-season deserves everything they get and more. I'm not even upset that they're doing drugs...whatever.....but doing something that STUPID and unnecessary when you're in the middle of an important turnaround? Moronic...

    Lots of folks listing Kohlert as the Canadian receiver in the starting lineup. I'd just like to throw my hat in the ring for JFG. I feel like he's been substantially better than Kohlert this year in limited reps.

    Drew Willy

    There was one game in particular that made me a Willy fan -- the 2015 Week 6 game against BC. We'd gotten completely owned by Edmonton the week before because Willy got hurt early and Brohm came in and brohm'd it up. Against BC, Willy came back early from his injury and played super gutsy football, rushing for 72 yards even though you could tell he was in pain, and we beat BC pretty good. Watching the way the team responded to having him out there, he really did look like a legit QB and leader and core of the franchise. Obviously that's not the way it worked out, but Willy earned a ton of goodwill from me with that game and that's why I'm rooting for him to get his game sorted out. Sadly, that was basically his last hurrah as a Bomber, his season-ending injury happened the next week and the next time we saw him it was 2016.

    For what we got, I would've driven him to the airport myself. But I can't help but cheer for the guy against anybody but us. I have no hard feelings towards him.

    I made a post on reddit about Jurassic world 2 and I hope to god the studio just trolls everyone and makes the entire thing a legal drama dealing with all the law suits resulting from the events of Jurassic World and they never once show a dinosaur or have any action sequences. That would just make me the happiest because we don't need another dinosaurs eat everyone at a park movie.

    Devin Setoguchi

    Driving home a drunk teammate and not ratting him out to management doesn't make anyone other than Seto look bad. Are you kidding me? Do you think players should run to the coaches anytime they see their teammates do something bad? That's ridiculous. And the team isn't responsible for drug testing and cannot perform drug testing themselves under the CBA.
