looking in on CFL Reddit, even the Rider fans want Marino gone.

maybe I'm taking Collaros for granted but Leggs is my #1 star. I gotta wonder who wins this game if dookie williams keeps his mouth shut. Riders were driving like they meant it and he shat it all away. When a guy just straight-up kneecaps his team from the bench, how do you not cut him immediately? I guess the timing is bad for the Riders on that because his salary became guaranteed after Labour Day, right?

nice read by ZC tho, looked like that play was there if Schoen had been tuned in.

Roughrider recruiting strategy: 1. our QB1 is at his best when the play breaks down and he has to improvise. 2. therefore a crappy OL is the best way to get peak performance out of our QB1.

yeah, it looked like he had room outside but he stopped and deliberately turned inside. weird.

ugly ugly throw there in the most dangerous part of the field.

how you liking the game, GR55? gotta say that Fajardo is playing pretty much the best Fajardo game he can play, within his limitations. if the Riders could protect him better...

the panel is based in Toronto ... penny pinching to not fly em out west, I'd bet. Panel is hyping the Stamps / Elks ... no Lawler for the Elks. They are gonna get murdered by Maier.

man you go back to watch those eighties games on youtube, I can't believe guys like John Hufnagel aren't all in wheelchairs. Pocket QBs just getting absolutely torpedoed three steamboats after throwing, no flag.

most of the time Suitor doesn't bug me, but that was 100% stupid. hit to the head on a defenceless receiver, that's a penalty, don't care who does it. Edem didn't have to come in low and out of control.

entertaining game. headsup running by Prukop to get us into field goal position with seconds left on the clock.

there's roster churn and then there's what Chris Jones does.

think VAJr is a pretty decent fit for BC. Those receivers they've got win a lot of 50/50 balls...

I hope those reports add up to a Ukranian victory. that said, I have really little faith in any play-by-play reporting on the war. It's difficult to know the significance or truthfulness of anything I read about it. This internet of ours rewards speed and spice over truth, and both sides have pretty extensive online propaganda operations...

Watching the Ukraine news very closely now .... they have been planning/announcing this counterattack for a long time and have no element of surprise. Not ideal conditions to attack under. Hopefully the Russian supply crunch on the west bank of the Dnipro is as decisive as forecast. Good luck and godspeed to the blue and gold.

Milt says "Kenny Lawler is a bright spot on a bad team." Milt knows that story.

one-score game. can Lapo close this one out or is this another 4Q heartbreaker for him? Even Suitor is calling him out for playing not to lose.

in 6 of their 8 losses the Redblacks led at one point. that is some strong 2010 Bomber energy there. hey, did the CFL change the Terrance Edwards rule where it's a penalty when a receiver makes the "throw a flag" symbol? or did Locksley get away with one there?

every time I see the Elks I just think about how on earth anyone would give Chris Jones 4 years as your GM/coach/DC. massive massive albatross.

I love seeing the effort when a receiver is recklessly fighting off multiple tacklers but question the wisdom. They're playing right into the hold-em-up-and-punch-the-ball-out thing. most WRs aren't gonna have the ball security powers of an RB.

couple nice throws from O'Connor to get the late game rolling

yeah that's definitely the hardest I've been punned in awhile I wish I could react with every emoji at once to this

Boris Bede is like the Michael Bishop of kickers, less reliable than you'd prefer but on a good day he will make you go wow
