That would have been classic.

Lots to unpack? No, I don't need a PM. It's pretty simple to me. You get wound up & I could give you a one word response & get a 3,000 word essay in return. That's the problem. You think Booch & others are bad fans & you're better. You always take things to the Nth degree & don't know when to stop.

I had no idea Buck's wife has cancer. I hope she is okay.

About 15 cms of snow on the ground in Calgary today & man, does it suck.

Why do you tie your nuts in a knot over Booch & Mike criticizing the way Osh manages his roster? It just goes on & on & on with you. Like give it a ******* rest already. Do you actually think that somehow you're better than them because you don't question anything the Coach does? I dislike fans like you who point fingers at others because they dare to criticize. It's their take on the Bombers. It doesn't mean Booch, Mike, me or anyone else is a worse fan for questioning roster moves. We're all fans here who love the team. We all have our opinions & from what I've read those guys know a helluva lot more about the Bombers & football than you do. Quit being a snob.

I did as well. Playing sports. That was the thing. My 2 kids didn't play hockey as we couldn't afford it at the time but they did play baseball in the spring, football in the fall & basketball in the winter. I also spent big bucks taking my youngest to qb camps in the US. Those were very expensive so i got a job delivering pizza at Panago on weekends in Calgary to afford these camps. We went to Oakland, LA, Seattle, Portland & Boise over the years. Those camps cost a lot of money but happy to deiver all that pizza in order to do it. That was $$ I could have used on myself.

These teams just slap their fanbases in the face. So clueless that these same fans won't show up anymore to games because of the jackass dec isions to jeep bad coaches & managers around "one more year".

Having kids affected my retirement income. I couldn't put the money away I would have liked. I certainly could use that money I could have saved being childless today. However, that's a sacrifice I was willing to make & happy that I did. Having children was both a wonderful & humbling experience. Being a father made me grow up knowing I was responsible for two lives & to put a roof over their head, feed, clothe & educate. Yes, I wouldn't change a thing. I think a lot of couples who didn't want kids in their 20's, 30's & 40's end up regretting that decision in their 60's, 70's & 80's. Especially when their partner dies & they're all alone in the world in a Nursing Home. I have a friend who used to say that kids make great pets & that he'd never have kids which he didn't. That was back in the 1990's. I talked to him a few years ago about that & it's one of his biggest regrets. He's now divorced as well.

Someone should make a video. Oh wait?

His extension was announced by the Board of Directors to the cries of "Three more years! Three more years! Three more years!!"

Michael Ball. Biggest D bag in what's left of the canadian sports media.

This will be the last season the same core of veterans we've had for years will be playing together. We need to re-sign Schoen, Demski & other key vets as well as sign some free agents from other teams. There will be changes in the secondary, OL & DL. We need to sign an ILB to ge the eventual replacement for Biggie. Some vets will be casualties & won't be back. I expect we'll get younger at some positions. This will be the last kick of the can for this core.

Janarion Grant says hello.

O'Shea has no personnel or wcouting experience. If Walters were to leave (which we hope dos not happen) then Danny McManus or Ted Goveia takes over . You can't expect these 2 guys to do the grunt work scouting for years to not reward one of them with the GM position if Walters goes.

Last week, I posted a local Regina media type said that O'Day wouldn't be fired by the Board. That he was close with the Rider Board members & thery didn't want to fire him. I also said that Dickenson would fall on his sword which he did. I could MAYBE.... understand a 1 year extension but THREE YEARS???? What a bunch of ****. I actually feel bad for Rider fans... Check that. No, I don't. Even a half empty stadium wasn't enough to scare the Board members into having O'Day replaced. We have a direct quote from Rider President Craig Reynolds...

Yeah, we gave them that return TD just like the busted coverage to Arceneaux in the first quarter leading to the first Elks TD. We have real issues on D & ST's. Is it a communication thing. What's the issue?

Up to 15 cms for us here in Calgary starting tonight & into Tuesday. Then cold temps for at least a week. El Nino winters in Alberta seem to start like this out here with snow & cold early in the season. Then things warm up after Xmas with & an early spring. So, we'll see.

The ref did it the smart way. He headbutted then punched the Stamps O Lineman. So, two incidents, two fouls & YERRRRRRRR OUTTA HERE!! And in typical Lions fashion, he didn't look sorry at all that he took two stupid & selfish penalties. Just pissed off that he was called. I actually hate the Lions more than the Riders. That entire team are douches.

The Lions receivers & linebackers lead the way with bad behaviour. The Lions DC Ryan Phillips is a dickhead on the bench. Campbell just lets it all happen. Refuses to get control of the idiots running the show. So then, why are we all surprised with the late season collapse? The Luions lack focus & team discipline. The inmates are running the asylum there. I just saw a lot of Me First selfish play by the Lions Friday night. As if, they didn't care anymore. How about the Riders with their diva receivers including Kian Schaefer-Baker? Makes a 5 yard catch yesterday, Survives a hard tackle & jumps up glaring, huffing & puffing while pointing his arm forward like he's some kind of tough guy.... As in, like surviving a shotgun blast to the chest with no ill effects. He does that on every catch he makes. Say, didn't Schafer-Baker miss half the season due to injury? The tough ain't so tough after all. What a prima dona. You catch footballs for a living. You're expected to make the tough catches. Do your job, fool. Again, Dickenson is a weak head coach who would rather lose games & go bowling than having to do the unpleasant work as a head coach. Such as cracking down & applying discipline. Demanding that his players act like professionals at all times. As well as having them focus & work harder. Low expectations by Dickenson & his coaching staff lead to poor results on the field. No surprise there.

Harris hurt for sure. But losing Fine??? It was such a great loss that when he came back, the short yardage qb replaced him.

So, what happened?

So, you're another old white guy on this forum.

Imagine if Mark Chipman owned the Riders.

How though? He'll probably be looking for money starting at $300,000. The Riders may look at him as a starter. Ottawa as well.

Man, we give up some big plays on D & ST's. That has to be cleaned up.
