Not going to let this devolve into another pissing match. I've pruned some posts and will lock the thread if it continues.

Just shows a lack of commitment on his part.

Which is precisely why he's on his what? 4th team? This is yet another example (if you needed one) that talent alone isn't enough. Athletes need to have the instinct and the competitive attitude to be at the top of their games. It's not an issue with instinct .. it's the mental part of his game that lacks .. and he's demonstrated that time and again with every team that he's been a part of ..

Glad to see Sears back in the lineup .. sucks that it has to be in place of Johnson who has been incredibly steady this season ..

We can all debate the quality of the Rider effort this weekend but one thing isn't up for debate .. they found a way to win .. win ugly .. win pretty .. have a win gifted to them .. it boils down to the same thing .. two points in the standings ..

Guys. I'll ask that discussion remain on point. There's *ZERO* need to feed the bickering that's going on here. If there is a poster or viewpoint you don't like - don't respond to it. Better still, if you feel there is an individual who pushes your buttons .. put that person on your foe list .. you don't have to deal with it .. but I do ask that responses to one another are respectful and stay above board. There is no need for petty responses, foul language or mindless bickering.

NANAIMO -- RCMP say Michael "Pinball" Clemons will be getting his Grey Cup ring back after it was taken by a woman at B.C. Place Stadium during the Toronto Argonauts game against the Lions on Friday. The former Argonaut player and current vice-chair of the team reportedly threw one of his four championship rings into the crowd for fans to look at during the game when a woman walked away with it. Constable Gary O'Brien said in a release Saturday night that the 30-year-old Nanaimo woman later returned the ring to RCMP officials, who are making arrangements to return it to Clemons. "She feels absolutely terrible about the situation and told the officer she wants Mr. Clemons to know she had no intention of keeping it and just wanted to do the right thing by turning it in," O'Brien said. The woman told police she was sitting in the front row when Clemons threw the ring into the crowd. She also said she waited for security to retrieve the ring but left after no one approached her. The Argos reached out to fans via Twitter on Saturday morning, asking them to be "on the lookout" for the ring and to contact police with any information.

I'm posting on a tonne of topics. Not trying to cause waves at all. Your presence here is enough to cause waves. It's why the forum has a handy ignore feature ..

+ 1. I know we all like to plant a flag in the ground and defend 'our turf' but fans of all stripes are welcome here and good posting guidelines apply to everyone .. be respectful .. be opinionated .. hell .. take shots at one another .. but keep it above board and don't sink into petty bickering .. nobody is going to like it if moderators step in start reigning people in.

Why do you say that? Doege's been there all year. Look at Toronto last year as an example. Collaros leap frogged the second string Harris despite having less time with the offence. If Tino looks as bad as he did against the TiCats why wouldn't they throw Doege in there? They've both been taking first team snaps. It's a confidence thing. You can't yank guys at the first sign of trouble (doubt and second guessing starts to creep in) .. beyond that, players need to learn to play through adversity .. learn to win .. learn how to rally .. that only comes when you are forced to deal with those things.

B It takes time to build up a scouting department. Walters seemed to do okay in the draft as well. But I think the fair question is, how much depth do you expect to build in one offseason? Realisticaly, every GM is going to go through bodies until they get the right guys .. if you look across the league, the teams that are successful have established rosters. We are middle of year one of a massive roster overhaul. We aren't going to have great depth overnight. It's going to take time to build a solid base .. then after that .. begin upgrading talent at the back end of the roster. Again, anyone who thinks this is going to happen in one or two seasons is sorely deluding themselves .. and when you factor in the sheer number of injuries we've had this season, I think it's reasonable to say we are getting a LOT out of the bodies we have in camp right now.

Tate doesn't miss a beat

Lulay .. BLM .. Durant .. Reilly in and out of the lineup .. West is having a rough go of it ..

That is why QBs need to slide .. Helluva hit though

Give. Me. A. ****ing. Break. Like this has *ANY* relevance at all .. Average Joe Taxpayer doesn't care one iota if the Bombers are holding 'stealth' practices at IGF .. hell .. if anything I would think the average taxpayer would think something like this: "They damn well BETTER be practicing there for all the money we spent!"

Pall on the lineup, doesnt means the Bombers like it. No other option but to put him there because of recent injuries. Not suggesting anyone likes it .. and I know it's out of necessity .. but the fact we're at that point gives me reason for concern.

Yikes. Pall draws onto the roster with less than a week here under his belt .. And yes .. #FreeJohnnySears

But it gives BC more of a chance than what I'm really comfortable with .. I think they are a team that could give us trouble .. we don't play BC well in BC .. and I thnk Glenn and his quick release might put us in a spot. Maybe that's me tempering my expectations but I don't feel good about this week .. not with the state of our defence.

Apparently Gibson is having passport / paperwork issues as well ... DLINE is looking rough for this week. Out: Fraser, Vega, Cornell. Unknown: Anderson, Moseley. New guys: Pall, Booker.

He was a good passer in the NCAA. Tino is no Darian but he'll do fine with the proper reps. FTR it was a coin toss as to who was better last season between Willy or Sunseri. There have been a multitude of quarterbacks that have come through this league with sparkling NCAA credentials who have failed to amount to much of anything .. I think the point remains .. until Sunseri proves he can beat teams with his arm .. nobody is going to respect it (nor should they) or the Riders passing game.

Rough week for QBs in the CFL.

Bilukidi claimed off waivers by the Ravens.

Built into the board ..

I hate the hockey jersey logo on the front look. I don't mind them at all. Simple. Clean. Understated. Not a bad alternate jersey.

Already a better game than last night ..
