Stay out of this

This is an embarrassing post. For so many reasons. Let the guy take his time to find a comfortable situation he’s happy with. He doesn’t owe you anything.

There's where you went wrong

Guys, I don’t mean to defend a Rider fan here, but his response about Collaros being done etc was a direct response to someone else saying Labatte is done and citing very similar reasons as to why someone *could* say Collaros is done. He literally used the same text but replaced Labatte with Collaros to make a point. It was meant to be facetious, from what I could tell. Best to read it in context.

The rogue is one of the most Canadian things about the CFL and adds an element of strategy not seen in any other football league. That's not something I ever want to see removed.

I love the strategy of having to decide to return the kick or give up the point. Plus those missed field goals returned for TDs are some of the best plays you'll ever see.

Have run this before, but always a good reminder of how incoherent Trump is.

Talked a lot of **** about us on his way out the door.

I’m not sure if this has been posted already:

We'll let him rest, once he improves, we'll limp into the playoffs in 3rd place, take out the Stamps at home in the semi-final, walk into Regina and beat the Riders on a last 2nd playin the West final, then beat the East in the Grey Cup. 5 games is all we need.

Lol over reacting a tad bit here? What's the hurry for him, the season hasn't started yet.

Absolutely this is not comparing watermelons to watermelons here.

I like the single points as they make things interesting. I also like the run backs from the end zone on missed FG's. You'd lose both if a missed FG didn't result in any points. Personally, I wouldn't want to lose either, but I understand the idea that missing a FG being seen as rewarding failure, especially when it happens on a 20 yard try. I'd change the rule to no point if the ball goes through the end zone without being touched. That keeps the run backs and the 1 point while eliminating the point for shorter missed FG's.

That's a beautiful jacket

Can't wait to see the finished product!

It can be called the "Jon Ryan" rule.

I still love Odell

Believe that all members of the Swaggerville secondary have retired as a Bombers, Suber, Hefney Johnson and Kent.

Also incentives the opposing team to try and run the ball out of the endzone on a missed but not through field goal attempt.

The advantage that Biden has over Clinton is that Joe is eminently likeable. Clinton, for whatever reason is someone who just rubbed people the wrong way. We can now see who she really is and it really isn't that bad. I'm going to make the comparison with Harper and Trudeau: people just wanted to take a break from the anger and othering that Harper brought to the table and chose the least harmless option. The masses aren't necessarily that bright when it comes to knowing policy or how ideologies impact policies, but they do know when something doesn't feel right. I'm pretty sure any one of the remaining top 4 candidates can beat Trump. The candidate doesn't have to be the one waging war, but the surrogates need to be on their game.

Who doesn’t love the rogue? 😁 There is no need to do an end around on the rouge. It’s part of our unique version of professional football. When I first starting watching the CFL, it was the game itself that piqued my interest. The peculiarities and all. And yes, the rouge may be considered odd, but it’s our odd, and most people who follow the CFL understand the reasons behind it. It’s Canadian and most are entertained by every aspect of our game. And that’s my point. In fact, it’s all our point. Let’s keep it.

Ah, Corporate welfare, the only welfare acceptable to cons.

The scoring rules are the same. They've evolved a bit 5 points to 6 for a "touch" and a convert going from 2 points to 1. That happened 90 years ago. The FG miss is also only a point if the defending team does not get the ball out of the the endzone. Those kicking decisions happen all the time because of the rouge and the game is way more entertaining for it. A FG is a skill play and making rules to favour punts through the endzone over FG attempts would just be horrific really. I see the craving for changing the scoring rules to just draw right down to wanting to bastardize the game in the name of some inferiority complex to American football.

We must never mess with the 'Rouge' - it may serve no real purpose but most importantly it is not American and it confuses the **** out of Americans... therefore it is critically important to the Canadian game.

Hamberders, covfefe, smocking, Tim Apple, infantroopen... Just a handful of the top of my head. Trump berating others for misspeaking is like Mr. Magoo taking shots at the blind.

Congrats to Jovon. Yup. He talked **** on the way out but dude was Mr excitement for several years here

I don't think so. I think of him more as Eskimo

Yeah, about that: "We've been working very well together on drugs and on trafficking -- beyond drugs, trafficking and drugs, and trafficking and lots of other things. Unfortunately, human trafficking, which has become a very big problem. Tonight, I'll be going -- as you know, we'll be going to North Carolina. We have a big rally scheduled, and that should be, I think, terrific." -Donald Trump I can find 100 examples of the great orator that are just as incomprehensible.

thing is...Rider's will be lucky to be 4th...maaaaybeee 3rd this year, so we won't get the chance to whoop em again in play-offs at IGWest

Yet, the QB that you're says is done, was the QB that beat you in the WSF. Go figure, four-cup-franchise fan.

How insane is that guy? Talk about killing any chance of any credibility....

Imagine being this stupid. People have to talk to him like he’s a child.

don't forget farmers. He torpedoed them in the free market but then good old american socialism for them after that. Here's the thing, all Trump does is fearmonger. Doesn't matter who the opponent is. So that's why it doesn't matter what Bernie is. Bernie is great at connecting with the voters and making them believe. That's what is needed not some republican-lite middle ground bullshit candidate. Someone who can inspire people is more important than appealing to the the middle ground.

Ideas like this are why with the exception of 1988 and 1990 the Manitoba Liberals have been irrelevant since 1969.

Bad idea. Actually, kind of embarrassing. If I'm a Manitoba Liberal, I have to ask myself, "How did I get here? And why am I only person at this Liberal Convention?" But really, this is bad idea. Bad, bad, bad. It also does not make sense.

Those numbers were sent to the accounting firm Twelve Plus One in Saskatchewan. Results are forthcoming, or first coming, depending on who does the write up.

I have never seen the point on a missed field goal as reward for failure. I have always felt if a team drives the ball to field goal range but misses the kick, the potential for a point is fair because they have not failed, they driven the ball into range. The same goes if they simply created a turnover, did not advance the ball, but missed the kick. They created the turnover so a point on a miss is fair. I tend to look a bit more at the circumstances leading to the kick. If you don't want to give up a point on a miss, don't let the opposition drive the ball and don't turn it over. I don't see it as rewarding failure but actually rewarding what you accomplished.

I think the extra point on a missed field goal is stupid. Right now a field goal that is kicked nowhere near the uprights still counts for a point but it if barely misses and hits an upright or crossbar, there is no point awarded. That makes no sense whatsoever. If we are going to award participation trophies to prove how Canadian we are, then we should at least be consistent. You get a point because you tried your very best to kick that ball through those posts. I could see how much it meant to you and how sad it made you not get 3 points - so here you can have 1. Keep working at it and I know you can get it all the way through the next time! A much better rule would be to still award a rouge only on punts not returned from the endzone. It would allow for some very interesting decisions. You are behind by a point with no time left on your 35 yard line. Do you try to win the game with a field goal or do you tie by punting it out into the corner of the endzone? And the "stay true to rugby rules" also holds no water. We have never stopped changing the rules from that of rugby. We have changed the scoring, the ball, the field, the equipment, and the entire way the game is played. This is where you draw the line? You are completely good with changing the entire game as to make it completely unrecognizable, but you better not touch this one bizarre rule even though it is no longer relevant.

I'll be honest, I was against any change just because I'm an old man and hate change by nature, but I'm really interested in this rugby explanation, which makes sense. I'm all about preserving the heritage, and this seems like as good a reason as any.

Like mentioned above it's origins are in Rugby, just like the rest of Football. At the end of the day the point of the game is to get the ball into the end zone. Missing a field goal does that. A 1 point reward seems reasonable.

The people who constantly want to mess with scoring have no respect for the rugby code and it’s influence on Canadian football rules. Kicking is part of the game. Kicking the ball into touch is worth a point. The trade off is where the next scrimmage begins. The point is hardly a reward most often and it also forces the defending team to play the ball if it is.

Let's hope he gets an early parole and can move on with the rest of his life.

🤓 Best response so far:

This happens almost every year in FA. Some Fans seem to think 2 things. 1) that every player needs to sign asap and if they dont there must be a problem with, their attitude, their health, their desire or their asking price. 2) that fans have all the information they need to understand why a player has or hasnt signed. The reality is, there isnt a single person on this forum that has enough information about the process with Walker. All that we have are what ifs. And often people go to the list mentioned above. What if he doesn't want to play, what if hes a cancer in the locker room, what if we cant afford him. But conveniently leave out other what ifs. What if hes dealing with a personal tragedy? what if hes considering retirement? what if hes just taking his damn time?
