  1. Gawd, I hate games like this.
  2. When did he say that? I can't see anything like that on X. Can you quote him?
  3. This goes back to Danny Barrett & GM Roy Shivers in 1999. Shivers set the standard for the culture they have now. Some of the players he had brought in were talented but lacked character & it showed in their behaviour on & off the field. There was that huge brawl in a bar in Regina as well as the player with aids who was sleeping around with different women & not telling them that he was sick. Then Shivers had a big mouth. I remember how he mocked the Bombers as well as the Ti Cats organizations twenty years ago. Never had a league executive ever personally attacked other teams in the league. He called them both Mickey Mouse organizations. it was shocking at the time. The guy always had a chip on his shoulder when it came to race relations in football. Obviously, Shivers suffered a lot of prejudce & racism growing up which shaped the man he became. However, he brought that prejudice to the league level. It isn't really what the CFL was all about, historically. I think he was friends with Huey Newton & Bobby Seale, two of the founders of the Black Panthers in Oakland, CA. Although Shivers was never a member of the BP. Eventually, his behaviour & attitude got him fired. When a culture has been entrenched for two decades, it just doesn't go away like that.
  4. Rider President Craig Reynolds.
  5. Chancess are Clercius, Wilson & Wheatfall are on 2 year rookie deals. So, they'd have one more year left. We keep one of Schoen or Lawler & save there as well.
  6. Schoen is pushing 30 & his body is beat up. I think we only keep one of Lawler/Schoen next season. We need to spend the money elsewhere.
  7. It was so frustrating watching that game. You'd think after nearly twenry weeks of training camp, exhibition & regular season games that the RedBlacks with Massoli at qb would have been more competitive than what we saw on Saturday. Nope, they just rolled over for the Riders. I've never been impressed with the way Dyce coaches that team. It's like they're satisfied with winning 8 games.
  8. No, Schoen is the easiest to replace. But also move on from Bighill, Wilson, Thomas & Alexander. That's a ton of money.
  9. Probably because of his foot injury he suffered. He has a different launch point on his throws. He can't throw the way he used to.
  10. Riders Brett Lauther kicks another field goal into a packed stadium of empty seats.
  11. Do we need Schoen? Jettisoning his salary would help us in other positions.
  12. That hit looked really bad. Just above the knee. I hate the Riders but I hate it more when I see a leg dangling. Don't want to see gruesome injuries like that. Hope Bane is going to be okay.
  13. Three Stars: 1. Zach Collaros. Showed he still has it & maybe this is his emergence from his year long slumer at qb. IF it is then watch out CFL. 2. Kenny Lawler: Wow, wow, wow, wow, Did I say wow??? Wow. 3.. Brady Oliveira. That TD he scored showed not only great strength but balnace as well. He's dialed in. Happy Honker to Nic Demski. Two tds last night. He looks ready for the playoffs.
  14. I believe that Vernon Adams would have won this game. But Campbell got his man, Rourke where he wants him screwing over Big Play VA. The Head Coach's stupidity has killed this team. If the Lions finish third this season, is his job at risk? Rourke isn't playing anywhere near the level he played at in 2022.
  15. That whiff on that tackle by Haba was brutal. He has to be much better than that.
  16. Suitor was pissed off the Lions lost. What ****. Wah, wah, wah, wah.... Amateur broadcast by TSN.
  17. What an amateur broadcast from TSN. There was only one team on the field that mattered tonight & that was the BC Lions. The Ti Cats didn't matter to Lalji & Suitor. It was all BC Lions all the time but absolutely nothing about the Hamilton Tiger Cast. It was just ridiculous. Such a homer broadcast. What did they do? Tejll Farhan he was doing the broadcast last night. Oh, probably.
  18. My foot & ankle are totally screwed. I need a cane for balance to walk. My bones are fused & my foot won't work like it's supposed to work. Without a cane, I walk like I'm drunk & could fall any time without warning. It's particularily scary getting in & out of a bathtub. I can't run or jump anymore. When I think of someone like Jeremiah Massoli & what he went through with his foot & ankle injury, same with Ville Heinola, it brings back some baaaad memories. That is closer to the truth than you'll ever know. Thanks. Appreciate it.
  19. I had ankle surgery in 2015 & developed a bone infection 3 weeks after going under the knife. An operation that was supposed to take 4 months to completely heal kept me off work for 16 months & bedridden for 12. Absolutely no weight bearing was allowed. My home became a prison. The infection flared up 4 times over those 16 months & I was hospitalized for a week each time as they drained the swelling & gave me these powerful intravenous antibiotics to kill the bacteria. It got to the point where they were considering amputating my leg below the knee. Luckily, that never happened. However, if I was a pro hockey player like Heinola, my career would have been over.
  20. That may have been the best middle linebacker performance that new kid ... was his name Brown???... played in years. He & Ayers were great together.
