The only reason Rourke has hardware in his foot is because one or more bones have shifted & need to be put back in place. It takes nine months for a bone to heal with hardware in it, according to my orthopedic surgeon. I have hardware in my left foot from arthritis surgery in 2012 where my bones had also shifted. I had to wait 9 months for my foot bones to heal before that could be done. It's Mother Nature. The healing process is what it is. It may be sped up a bit by specific treatment, perhaps. However, as I've also been told by a surgeon, the healing time of a bone is a minimum of 9-12 months. Before the second surgery to take the hardware out. That's no picnic, either.

And give just a slight twist. He ain't legit.

Well, we all know that you'd certainly never take the Bombers.

Just. Go. Away. You're just a pest.

Once his rookie contract is over, the Lions can pay Rourke whatever they want.

I go back to 1968 watching the Bombers in person but I don't know if talking about attendance that long ago has any relevance to today. I do remember a crowd in 1970, the last regular season game of the year where only 8,000 fans showed up in a cold rain/snowstorm. In 1968, only 12,500 showed up at Winnipeg Stadium in a late season game in October vs Ottawa.

Sorry but if Rourke isn't healed & he plays anyway then whatever happens he deserves it for being stupid. The entire Lions organization will look really bad. He needs a a big run stopper on the DL to help him. He's been exposed this year as the backs are coming right at him. Stepping into the hole every game takes its toll.

The Stamps OL are pretty good. They played with the Riders Front 7. We'll see how he does. Remember he plays 15 minutes in a climate controlled dome. If they beat the Stamps they'll have to come back to the winter elements here Nov 13th. Running on a frozen field can't be good for a cold foot that isn't healed yet. And there's no way Rourke's foot is fully healed.

He's doing well as a financial advisor so I don't think he'll get into coaching. Maybe when his son plays.

Bring back the flying snowmobiles.

You can't tell?? Yeah, he walks with no limp. Ha, ha. Okay. Once he has to run....

Happy wife. Happy life.

How much fun are you???? Lol. I keed. I keed.

Just what the fans that are left in Edmonton want to hear. A team that won 4 games this season & none at home since 2018 won't be active in free agency cuz Jones thinks they're already good enough. Lol.

Yeah, a year ago I wouldn't have said this but if he was on the radio today, I'd listen to him. He reinvented himself on his podcast. With Cornelius & Ford as their qbs? Not likely.

The Bombers did play Ellingson one game when he came off the 6 game injured list, Then took a hit & went right back on it again. For that reason, I'd keep him off the field until the Western Final. The guy is a 10 year vet. There won't be a lot of rust to knock off.

Walby hadn't moved over to the OL yet. He was a defensive lineman here.

I'd be very happy to have Larry Fean or Sankey next year. Both are real pros who put their teams ahead of themselves. FIFO would work for them.

Until I see Fajardo play behind a competent OL, I'll reserve judgement that he's as bad as some here say he is. He'll sign somewhere. Maybe as a starter but probably he'll have to work his way back to that position from being a backup.

Never understood this "culture of hockey" as in. "Well, it's going to take a long time to change the culture of the sport. We can't change things overnight". Okay then, how long will it take? "Oh, years". Like WTH? Hey, if some pedo male coach is raping his young teen age players or a team of 17 & 18 year olds thinks it's fun to rape a woman & everything can be substantiated, then don't hide it. Call the cops, have them press charges & throw these sicko men & entitled brats in jail. Don't hide it & pay people off not to press charges & sue. It's not that hard. We've just let Hockey Canada & offending hockey teams get away with it for too long.

Imagine if Jeremy O'Day had dedicated $275,000 to improving the Riders OL instead of paying an undisciplined & selfish douchebag of a receiver that money instead. Just for that, O'Day should be gone.

Pederson is no longer a Rider syncophant. He criticizes the Riders quite a bit.

What purpose would it serve to bring Ellingson back for a meaningless game & then 2 weeks off for the Western final? Give him another 3 weeks to heal up further so he can concentrate on the playoff & Grey Cup game. He's a veteran so getting the rust off won't be an issue.

I was blown away by the huge amount of leeway Dickenson gave his players when they screwed up. Constantly defending Williams & Marino in public. At times, it looked & sounded like a WWE interview strtching reality during Raw or Smackdown. That's when I knew the Riders were in trouble. Coaches like John Hufnagel, Adam Rita, Marc Trestman & Cal Murphy would have cut them & their yappy buddies.

I don't think it does either. An entire culture change in Saskatchewan is needed & won't be if Craig Reynolds is still there. Or if Jeremy O'Day survives. Guys like Duke Williams, Nick Marshall & Mike Edem have to go. Doesn't matter if they're good players as their selfish attitudes are toxic especially to the younger guys. I don't know if a coach from Winnipeg would have a lot of success in an atmosphere like that.
