What were the names of those two DL Joe Mack drafted in 2011 or 12 & for years posters here were telling us what team's practice roster they were with. Everytime one or both were cut we were excitedly informed... "THEY'RE COMING!!!!" Only they never did & after nearly 5 seasons they finally cycled thru every NFL practice roster they could & were cut. They never had any intention to play for us. Streveler helped win us a Grey Cup but I don't think he'll every be back here again.

There's a time & a place. The really good coaches pick their spots while keeping their tempers in check. I didn't mind a coach yelling at me if I screwed up. My son Tyler who played for Jacques Chapdelaine at SFU said Chaps was always hard on him but he said he that he was okay with it. sometimes it was a drag as he was an intense coach who demanded Tyler's best all the time. A few years ago, I was watching a CFL game with Tyler. The qb had thrown a bad pass & it was picked off. The camera cut to Chaps on the sideline just glaring.. Tyler started to laugh & said, "Uh oh. I know that look!! Glad it's him (the other qb) coming off & not me."

Maas is a loose cannon. I think he's on his way out of the CFL. Can you imagine him yelling at a veteran like Collaros? Or a gold plated rookie like Rourke? First, both head coaches O'Shea & Campbell wouldn't stand for it & neither would the players. I don't think Fajardo would either. Dickenson is so wishy washy that he'd let Maas yell at Dolegala unchecked. No one will hire Maas as a HC because of his temper. It's okay to be intense & want to win. It's another to be stupid & angry all the time ratching out at every incompletion. Players just tune out.

Dickenson saying today... "The refs hate us thanks to Marino. They're too negative."

Does this mean Theory stops being pushed?

Attrition, you gotta love it.

It wasn't good when you consider the defense they played against. Probably the worst in the CFL. Do you really think Oliveira will even be a factor vs the Stamps who have a very good front 7?

Collaros is 33.

Is he worth a second round draft pick?

I would as well before this Canadian running back thing is scrapped. Augustine deserves a chance to prove himself. Brady shouldn't be playing. If Hamilton's season continues to sink would they be willing to trade Sean Thomas-Erlington? Would any of you make that trade?

Tough to watch Harris break the record & at times drag tacklers with him refusing to go down. Then watch our guy Oliveira go down on first contact & a 2 yard gain. if he was still with us, we'd be a lock for another GC. Things will get a lot more difficult with our lack of a run game in November.

Well, if you tested negative then what are you waiting for? I was in Winnipeg on June 14th for a family memorial. My wife's cousin died . My wife & i got our fourth booster June 14th. They weren't offering 4th boosters in AB at the time. As of a week ago they are.

In the 60's there was a sci fi show called The Invaders where a man named David Vincent witnessed a flying saucer land in the middle of nowhere. The aliens were here as an invasion force to conquer the human race & take over our world. They were genetically altered to look like us so they could blend in. Vincent tried to tell people about the invasion but no one believed him. I think those aliens were football fans in the stands watching this game that night

I didn't think Dolegala sucked, Considering the little practice & prep time he had I thought he played pretty well. Toronto is some kind of screwed up team. They had problems defensively covering those inexperienced receivers for the Riders. Dinwiddie with only a couple of minutes left in the first half tries a 61 yard FG with the most inconsistent kicker in the CFL. Why??? Pin the Riders deep with the time left. Don't give them an opportunity to score. But. that's what Dinwiddie did. As I said earlier, I thought Dolegala played well. But let's face it, these tall & lanky qbs even if they can run to avoid a sack aren't the future of the CFL at qb anymore. Guys with skill sets like Collaros, Rourke, Massoli, Maier are the future of the CFL. When I say Collaros, I know that age wise he only has a few years left. However, I completely refer to his skill set & intelligence. More & more young qbs will be coming up the college ranks in the years to come that will have those skill set. The stand in the pocket passers will go the way of the Dinosaurs. Because defensive players are faster than ever qbs have to be able to adapt. They'll have to be able to throw with accuracy from anywhere on the field while on the run or under pressure. They won't have time to stop, set their feet & throw like Taylor Cornelius, Bo Levi Mitchell or MBT have to.

Congrats to Harris. Guess he can still play, huh???

El Gigante.

We'll never know. All I know is Oliveira looks slow hitting the hole. He's a straight ahead runner & more often than not goes down on the first hit. To me, he is a downgrade from even a 34 year old Harris. Brit Dort.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Brit Dort? Seriously??

Our run game is our Achilles Heel. If we don't pick it up, come playoff time it'll be our downfall.

The impatience of a rookie.

I have a question. If Chevy falls asleep & snores in the forest, does anybody hear?

LaPo will never be a HC again. His record is abysmal. Like I said earlier, it has nothing to do with injured qbs. It's the lousy way he calls games. And he's so conservative. So conservative that Margaret Thatcher would have more imagination with her playcalling than LaPo. He never plays to win but not to lose.

August 11, 1960. The Bombers opened the 1960 season by defeating the BC Lions 35-21 at Empire Stadium. They'd go on & win their first 9 games of the 16 game season finishing at 14-2 for the regular season.

I have no pity for TSN.
