If I ignore wrong opinions how will those people ever learn from their mistakes?

When they win the cup this year it is going to be the most spite filled cup every and I am going to enjoy every minute of it.

See if old man elemimian can still run.

Half of the thread on riderfans is them bitching about bomber fans and acting superior. So classic riderfans stuff I suppose. God do I want streveler to RIP that team a new ******* on Sunday.

Yeah I would expect that inside the locker room guys know the story for the most part. If a guy is juicing I doubt it's something that gets kept under wraps and they wouldn't go out and have a guys back just for fun.

Just given the reaction of Harris and his team mates and his coaches I'd be inclined to believe it was unintentional. Mistake not being more careful about what he's taking for sure, but to me he owned up to that. In the end I don't really care, steroid use has been an issue in the league for a long time and I don't see that ever changing. Just thump the riders on Sunday with a bunch of backups. That's all I want.

Well that's just it. Harris is a great runner, but his true value is the other aspects. Receiving, blocking all that. I have no doubts with our offensive line that someone else can effectively run the ball.

It's not all bad, our heavily used star runningback gets a midseason break to rest up his body a bit and he comes back in the key part of the season with something to prove. We can beat the jackass green team without him.

I assume they do random testing so it would just be pure bad luck right?

Cause **** anyone who isn't one of us. He's our player, we can talk **** about him but no one else.

So do we think that part of Harris not practising last week was cause they knew this was going to be coming and wanted to get the backups some more time with the 1s knowing they'd need them?

No the point is that if you start 8 Canadians and one of them goes down you can safely replace him with an American.I mean this team has plenty of places they can use a Canadian in game should the need arise. Bottom line I don't really care which of Augustine or Santiago they start, whichever one they decide is the better player. I'm just saying you can start Augustine without it being an issue not having a Canadian backup to him.

started 8 Canadians last game, have the depth and flexibility to replace him with an American if need be without too much issue.

Started 8 Canadians last game, don't think there's much ratio issue. That's the beauty of this team, lots of Canadian depth. Hell worst case you put the American rb in and have peterman replace an American receiver.

Nothing forces an offense to become more varied than losing that guy who is the crutch. I mean not like there aren't playmakers on this team we can turn to... Time for Matthews to live up to the billing, Whitehead and Wolitarsky to see more targets, great chance for whichever or both backup runningbacks to show their worth etc etc.

You are taking the guilty because he is suspended stance, all I'm saying is there is a possibility that the guy wasn't juicing based on the things that Booch outlines. I ain't making a judgement because how the crap should I know? All I know is the guy is suspended cause he got illegal **** in his body somehow. Supplements with steroids in em isn't an unheard of thing, I actually think it's pretty common. There's a lot of things that could point to Harris telling the truth... or he's full of it and trying to save face, but to come out and blatantly say "I don't know about these things but you're wrong" is just ignorant and only a Rider fan could take such a position.

so you are just choosing to argue with someone who professes to know that world? That is the height of ignorance. Now I dunno whether or not Harris is telling the truth or not, we have all heard the "I didn't know, must be my supplements!" excuse before enough times to be immediately doubtful, however if you read Booch without any biases what he says can make sense. Again I ain't passing any judgements because I know that I don't know enough to form an opinion one way or the other. But I do know that arguing with someone who does know enough is pretty foolish.

Irish red with the nitrogen pour, yeah **** anyone who doesn't like that beer. I don't even care if it's owned by a big company (though I don't remember who owns guiness, I somehow don't think it's InBev)

Hey Kilkenny is a solid beer.

I want to believe Harris, but that's the oldest excuse in the book... I don't know enough to know anything so I'll just focus on yet another bomber backup stepping in and doing the job.

Yeah but **** them, they got at least one guy on their roster been busted too.

Fajardo floats up a lot of deeper balls. If he's not throwing the quick hitters there's opportunities to take the ball away. He's also a runner more than a passer so keep him in the pocket and make him have to read the D and I doubt he has a lot of success.

Just looking at the schedule, how fortunate for the riders they get BC 3 times this year! Calgary is in a tough spot having gassed some games they normally wouldn't, but in suspect they will still be above .500. Edmonton too should comfortably get there.
