It just blows my mind that they are so tone deaf that they think the answer to protests about police brutality is more police brutality... Just insane.

Wonder if they look at Marshall Ferguson he knows the game has been doing PxP for a few years now.

Raise your hand if you're still a self-centered douchecanoe who basically stole money from a team willing to help you keep your CFL career alive. "Against all odds - I'm gonna steal."

What a great tweet by @mojority

HELL NO to Rod Pederson! Noeller, you need some form of punishment for suggesting that.

as always they're lurking waiting for one little nugget they can try and turn into a "gotcha! both sides" argument.

Dustin Neilson? Was really good the few games he did. Maybe he gets the call up.

Geez, the wrong guy left. How can TSN let one of their best up and leave? That Stupid Network!

Now THAT is a powerful move.

And just so he can't miss it:

What???

I feel bad for the good cops and there are some good cops out there.

BIG HIT losing Cuthbert....I just don't see a replacement anywhere that will fill his shoes...TSN and the CFL are going to miss this guy...What a crappy year this is turning out to be

I'm sure they are but just not on this board right now. Or maybe they're lurking in the background not responding and chuckling to themselves of how stupid a lot of us are by being brainwashed by deep state conspirators and mainstream media outlets. They're probably muttering to themselves that some don't cast a critical eye on others as they do with Trump, his Administration, Fox news and Breitbart. Fair and equal reporting across the board they say. I just have one thing to say to these lurkers if they are here: You forgot your hood in the car.

I think I'll send in a tape where I do play by play in an Eeyore voice. I'd still be better than Rod Black.

You would think, that if the American Election was held right now, Trump and his band of deranged idiots would lose in a landslide. You would think.

I don't want Rod P. or Rod P. junior calling games... Taylor from 2 years ago would have been fine but since taking the job in Regina, he's gone full 4-Stripe. No thank you!

Sucks for watching the CFL, no doubt, but it's a boost for the NHL broadcasts... Some of those Sportsnet guys are brutal.

More Miller and Dunigan and the new guy which yet again I forgot his name!

That sucks for the CFL. Please hire somebody to replace Rod Black and Glen "Let me fawn over a Country Music Star like a 12 year old fangirl during the Grey Cup" Suitor.

Maine's largest newspaper has something to say: Our View: To President Trump: You should resign now He lacks the character, maturity and judgment to lead the country in a perilous time. President Trump: We’re sorry that you decided to come to Maine, but since you are here, could you do us a favor? Resign. You have never been a good president, but today your shortcomings are unleashing historic levels of suffering on the American people. Your slow response to the coronavirus pandemic has spun a manageable crisis into the worst public health emergency since 1918. We are also in the middle of the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. There is no national strategy to recover from the shock that is disproportionately affecting people who were already struggling to make it. And in the face of the worst civic unrest since 1968, with millions of Americans in the streets protesting systemic racism, you fan the flames. In just the last week you gleefully tweeted about shooting fellow citizens; you goaded governors into escalating violent situations so they don’t “look like jerks;” and you authorized the use of rubber bullets and tear gas to clear peaceful protesters out of a public space so you could pose for a Bible-waving photo-op. These are just a few examples of why you lack the character, maturity and judgment to lead our country in this perilous time. You should resign. We have to agree with you on one point: You were right to skip making an address to the nation as other presidents have done in times of national emergency. You correctly concluded that you have nothing to say that would make the situation better. When what’s called for is compassion, clear vision and a commitment to lead, you are out of ammo. But bringing the nation together in times of distress is a big part of the job when you are head of state. You can’t do it, so you should resign. As head of government, you have unmatched power to direct resources to relieve suffering. You can’t or won’t do that, either, so you should resign. And in your mistreatment of lawful protesters and abuse of religious symbols, you have violated your oath to protect and defend the Constitution, so you should resign. Your supporters will no doubt say that this is an election year, and it should be left up to the voters to decide whether you deserve to stay in office. But ask yourself – can this country take five more months like the last five? You are a president supported by a minority of the people, and your only path to victory in November is to further divide the nation. This campaign could do even more lasting damage than you have done already. We know that you are not much of a student of history, but you recently said that you “learned a lot from Richard Nixon.” That’s good, because he set the historical precedent for what you should do now. In a nationally televised address, Nixon said that he knew that he was about to be impeached over Watergate, and he wanted to fight the charges. But since that would be destructive to the nation he served, he chose instead to resign. Nixon said: “By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of that process of healing which is so desperately needed in America.” America needs to heal again. Please resign now, and let us begin. https://www.pressherald.com/2020/06/05/our-view-to-president-trump-you-should-resign-now/

As I said before.... why do people listen to professional athletes expecting them to be some source of great wisdom. Drew Brees knows how to throw a football.... people should only listen to him on his opinions on how to run an offense and how to throw the pigskin.....

Biden is playing it perfectly so far. Let Trump and the Republicans point the gun at their own feet and then just go out there and act like a calm rational person to show the difference.1

Texas.

your ignorance is showing......... Calling one sport does not equal calling all sports. They're all quite different...especially at the highest level. The more I think about it, the more I think Gord Miller will move up a spot and take over the West broadcasts with Suitor, and Black/Forde will stay in the East broadcasts. Grey Cup "A Team" TBD.....

the two new cases are a man in his 20s and another in his 30s. A trucker and an associate of the trucker...

I don't think CC leaving has anything to do with the CFL and it's future. It's purely the opportunity to be in the biggest chair for the biggest sport in this country. And likely a very very big paycheque.

Right now, Torontians are marching peacefully in support of Black Lives Matter. It looks well organized and well represented. Then, the Police Chief comes out and meets the crowd. What does he do? He kneels in solidarity with the people he has come out to greet. Talk about the right way to make sure it remains peaceful. Bravo! And that goes for the many Police Officers in the US who have not confronted the crowds, but rather, diffuse any potential trouble by joining the protests. Bravo!

Turns out my sister is an organizer.

It’s a very good thing for our country.

This is going to wind up Trump:

Mayor of DC

Sack of green s**t

A couple of "tricks" the police are using here. They want to crowd to move but the crowd is not moving fast enough so rather then keep the peace, the police instigate a conflict so they have an excuse to escalate it and forcibly and violently disperse the crowd. Secondly, the POS that is desperate to hit someone with his club, hits a young guy who has done nothing and the cop immediately arrests him. Now, he has leverage. His reports will say the kid assaulted him, resisted arrest etc. And it washes away the fact the cop assaulted the kid with a weapon. In this case, there is video. But thats the fall back leverage. Kid will be charged so that his lawyer can be offered a deal - drop your complaint against our officer and we'll drop the charges against you. And ofcourse, it costs the kid X amount of money when he did nothing wrong (seemingly).

There is still a chance....

So many videos of police using excessive force and brutaliy coming out of the protests... People protesting against... *looks through notes*- police brutality and using excessive force.

Just a tad ironic that the US finally outwardly embraces a totalitarian state policy on the anniversary of Tiannamen

I love how Bernie is always criticized for never having a plan... and he's always the only one with an actual clear plan Meanwhile Joe Biden is going to have some 'discussions'... and start thinking about things

Check out the story of Breanna Taylor. Fuckup Kentucky cops no-knocked her apartment by mistake -- they were after a suspect who was already in custody and their target address was about ten miles away. Her boyfriend stood his ground and shot at them, and so the cops riddled her with gunfire. She was shot eight times. When they say "light 'em up" I guess that's what they mean. The essence of warrior copdom in the USA is "**** with us and die." You fight back against a cop, they will escalate like a mobster. Maybe you win in court afterwards, but maybe you're dead.

"Do remember that dishonesty and cowardice always have to be paid for. Don’t imagine that for years on end you can make yourself the boot-licking propagandist of the Soviet regime, or any other regime, and then suddenly return to mental decency. Once a *****, always a *****." George Orwell

No respect for Durant nor do I care what he thinks. He picked Fajardo as the third best qb in the CFL which is a joke. I'll take Vernon Adams & Trevor Harris over him. As far as Collaros goes, he needs to play a bunch of games to get back into the running when discussions start about who is the CFL's best qb.

Definitely. In our school, washing your hands when you arrive and when you leave is going to become a firm policy.

The Riders seem so inconsequential nowadays.

Durant and his selfish choices allowed for the emergence of Strevler and allowed us the cash to sign Bighill. All in all, he helped contribute to our Cup win. Still a tool though.

This is gold! How Western media would cover Minneapolis if it happened in another country By Karen Attiah Global Opinions editor May 29, 2020 at 3:57 p.m. CDT If we talked about what is happening in Minneapolis the same way we talk about events in a foreign country, here’s how the Western media would cover it. The quotes and those “quoted” in the piece below are fictional. In recent years, the international community has sounded the alarm on the deteriorating political and human rights situation in the United States under the regime of Donald Trump. Now, as the country marks 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, the former British colony finds itself in a downward spiral of ethnic violence. The fatigue and paralysis of the international community are evident in its silence, America experts say. The country has been rocked by several viral videos depicting extrajudicial executions of black ethnic minorities by state security forces. Uprisings erupted in the northern city of Minneapolis after a video circulated online of the killing of a black man, George Floyd, after being attacked by a security force agent. Trump took to Twitter, calling black protesters “THUGS”’ and threatening to send in military force. “When the looting starts, the shooting starts!” he declared. “Sure, we get it that black people are angry about decades of abuse and impunity,” said G. Scott Fitz, a Minnesotan and member of the white ethnic majority. “But going after a Target crosses the line. Can’t they find a more peaceful way, like kneeling in silence?” Ethnic violence has plagued the country for generations, and decades ago it captured the attention of the world, but recently the news coverage and concern are waning as there seems to be no end in sight to the oppression. “These are ancient, inexplicable hatreds fueling these ethnic conflicts and inequality," said Andreja Dulic, a foreign correspondent whose knowledge of American English consists of a semester course in college and the occasional session on the Duolingo app. When told the United States is only several hundred years old, he shrugged and said, “In my country, we have structures still from the Roman empire. In their culture, Americans think that a 150-year-old building is ancient history.” Britain usually takes an acute interest in the affairs of its former colony, but it has also been affected by the novel coronavirus. “We’ve seen some setbacks with the virus, but some Brits see the rising disease, staggering unemployment and violence in the States and feel as if America was never ready to govern itself properly, that it would resort to tribal politics,” said Andrew Darcy Morthington, a London-based America expert. During the interview, a news alert informed that out of the nearly 40,000 coronavirus deaths in the United Kingdom, 61 percent of the health-care workers who have died were black and or have Middle Eastern backgrounds. Morthington didn’t seem to notice. “Like I was saying, we don’t have those American racism issues here.” Trump, a former reality-TV host, beauty pageant organizer and businessman, once called African nations “shithole countries." But he is now taking a page from African dictators who spread bogus health remedies, like Yahya Jammeh of Gambia, who claimed he could cure AIDS with bananas and herbal potions and pushed his treatments onto the population, resulting in deaths. Trump appeared to suggest injecting bleach and using sunlight to kill the coronavirus. He has also said he has taken hydroxycholoroquine, a drug derived from quinine, a long-known jungle remedy for malaria. Doctors have advised against using the treatment to prevent or treat the coronavirus. Meanwhile, Americans desperate to flee will face steep challenges to cross borders, as mismanagement of the coronavirus and ethnic tensions in the country have made them undesirable visitors. But some struggling American retailers, like Neiman Marcus, are hoping to lure shoppers with traditional 19th-century colonial travel fantasies through neutral khakis and cargo shorts as part of a “Modern Safari” collection. “Utilitarian details & muted tones meet classic femininity,” reads a caption under the photograph of a white woman. Pith helmets were not included in the accessory lineup. Some nations are considering offering black Americans special asylum. “Members of the white ethnic majority are forming armed militia groups, demanding their freedom to go back to work for the wealthy class who refer to workers as ‘human capital stock,’ despite the huge risk to workers,” said Mustapha Okango, a Nairobi-based anthropologist. “This is a throwback to the days when slavery was the backbone of the American economy. Black slaves were the original essential workers, and they were treated as non-human stock.” Africa could be an ideal asylum destination, as several African countries have managed to contain the coronavirus outbreak through aggressive early measures and innovations in testing kits. Senegal, a nation of 16 million, has only seen 41 deaths. “Everyone predicted Africa would fall into chaos,” Okango said. “It is proof that being a black person in this world doesn’t kill you, but being a black person in America clearly can.” The African Union did not respond to requests for comment, but it released a statement that said “we believe in American solutions for American problems.” Around the world, grass-roots organizations, celebrities, human rights activists and even students are doing what they can to raise money and awareness about the dire situation in America. “It’s sad that the Americans don’t have a government that can get them coronavirus tests or even monthly checks to be able to feed their families,” said Charlotte Johnson, a 18-year-old Liberian student activist, who survived the Ebola pandemic. “100,000 people are dead, cities are burning, and the country hasn’t had a day of mourning? Lives don’t matter, especially not black lives. It’s like they’re living in a failing state.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/29/how-western-media-would-cover-minneapolis-if-it-happened-another-country/#comments-wrapper
