  1. What an awful sentiment. Who cares the colour of skin involved? It's the ideology. Obviously much to soon to speculate but people will speculate when the attack was on a soldier. Especially after the attack a few days ago. You never want to politicize something like this but I admit to thinking on the many stupid things Trudeau has said. I think the point there is that if it's the stereotype it just furthers said stereotype and leads to all sorts of prejudice and racism perpetuating further. If it were a born and raised white Canada it's hard to fly off the handle about Islam and muslims etc etc. I just hope the government doesn't use this as an excuse to go all 'Murica! and start taking away freedoms and rights in the name of safety because that's the worst possible response.
  2. Etch has turned in a better performance as a coordinator this season than Bellefeuille has...
  3. you ever stop and think that the reason Allen never won with dominant teams is because he wasn't a good enough quarterback to be dominant?
  4. Still an improvement over mosaic
  5. Any one who watched Grigsby play here knows that it doesn't matter one bit what he does in Hamilton. Guy was too soft and too much of a sissy as a running back to be effective in Winnipeg. It's an easy position to recruit for, why settle for someone who goes down on contact that easy and hesitates before hitting the line of scrimmage? Any scouting department worth it's salt should be able to find runningbacks who can do the job. The fact that Cotton when given the ball looks better should show that Grigsby ain't worth worrying about.
  6. What? That sounds like a good way to be the farm team for everyone else in the league.
  7. Joseph is 41. There's more to it than just that nobody wanted him. yeah the more is that no one wanted him cause he's not good enough to play in the CFL anymore. Except desperate Taman desperately trying to save face after botching the backup qb situation so spectacularly in he offseason.
  8. Homers gonna home.
  9. I blame the House of Duras for causing Worf, son of Mogh to get into trouble. Well, I found my new FB profile pic......... You guys do realize the guy yelling nerds is depicted as a cross-eyed dummy in the movie right? He's also pretty ugly. Just saying. which is why it's perfect for Noeller. I actually fully understand the reference and was for a brief moment going to play along, but then I thought, nah that's too nerdy even for me. Lies. With a pic of Sheldon Cooper as your avatar you know you wanted to join in. You just let Noeller peer pressure you into not doing it. it's true, I feel great shame for it too.
  10. Taman has been saying that Durant should be back for last regular season game for weeks now. They wouldn't risk our marquee QB if he wasn't healthy. We shall see what happens. they were so desperate they signed Joseph and you really believe that? Which was because Joseph, while old, has lots of experience and he still has a strong arm. And he actually looked pretty good out there. He wasn't quite as good as Reilly stats wise, but that's because we were playing Edmonton who has one of the best defences in the league. If Joseph continues to play just as well as last game or better, I don't see us rushing Durant too much. Yeah yeah yeah, you were on here a few weeks ago talking about how awesome Doege was, and how good Sunseri would be, your opinion on how a rider qb plays is meaningless because you've shown yourself to be that guy who jumps on the bandwagon of the next guy. Signing Joseph is pure desperation plain and simple. If you really think he's fine as a qb you're deluded. There is a reason he was unemployed until the Riders got desperate.

  12. The Riders have made a lot of really puzzling and stupid roster moves this year. By far the stupidest one. Absolutely infuriating to see this kind of mushheaded crap taking place. Seriously, does any team in the CFL have respect for fantasy football? Their dicking around with Allen cost me so many fantaseh points AND caused me to burn through too many adds and drops trying to get a RB into the lineup that I couldn't make any moves late when other players got hurt. I demand restitutions from Chamblin for this shabby treatment my fantasy team has received.
  13. Sooo Grigsby asks to be cut because he doesn't want to be a backup but could end up a backup in Hamilton??? I suspect that Grigsby's departure was a relief for the coaches, and he left in a snit anyways. He likely jumped at any opportunity in which he could fantasize about showing the Bombers how wrong they were to not acknowledge his greatness. It really is all about arrogance. He likely figures all he needs to do is touch the ball and everyone will see how wonderful he was and it was all someone elses fault in Winnipeg. Some of these guys are told for too long how special they are that they can't handle the fact that in the pros you're not special anymore.
  14. Tough on him to brush off his success as all on the players, but make no mention of the talent he had to work with here his second go around when he struggled. He made Jyles look respectable in 2010. Nobody else has been able to do that before or since. ehhhhhhhh Lapo coached that team to do just enough to lose. getting 8 yards when you need 10 might look good on the stats sheet but I never liked Lapos offense. Too reliant on hitting big plays. That's highly effective when you have Jones, Stegall, Bruce, Roberts, Sellers, less so when you don't have them.
  15. The Riders have made a lot of really puzzling and stupid roster moves this year. The whole RB of the week early in the season, the handling of the backup qbs... just real oddball choices being made.
  16. I blame the House of Duras for causing Worf, son of Mogh to get into trouble.
  17. We definitely need a change at OC, but no LaPo. Should find another (reduced) role next year for Buck Pierce too, IMHO. I just can't see what he's bringing to the O. Running backs coach? Really? I don't really know how good or bad of a job Pierce is doing, but I really have to ask ... when you say "you can't see what he's bringing", what are you expecting? Weekly blog updates with meeting minutes of what he covers with the team? How would we as fans ever gather an idea of what he's doing, good or bad? He seems to be bringing Cotton along quite well and he certainly got Grigsby to improve particular facets of his game (pass protection) take your facts and logical statements and get the **** out of this discussion. Pierce sucks because reasons.
  18. assistant to the travelling secretary?was totally my first thought... Is George Costanza working for the Bombers now? If so, well done Wade Miller!
  19. I wish the Bombers could have played against him... team that loves to try arm tackles against a guy who goes down at the slightest arm tackle... that woulda been sweet
  20. Taman has been saying that Durant should be back for last regular season game for weeks now. They wouldn't risk our marquee QB if he wasn't healthy. We shall see what happens. they were so desperate they signed Joseph and you really believe that?
  21. assistant to the travelling secretary?
  22. yeah just like Sunseri was fine and going to be able to do just as well as Durant right?
  23. 4 game skid and what is it a 1-5 stretch and the qbs have all looked useless and they're back to insisting that Durant is back soon. Call me sceptical about that.
  24. yep, having 3 qbs that can play is part of the reason why Calgary has been as successful as they have been. Don't piss away the depth just because. As we've seen you can be down to your 3rd stringer in a hurry in this league.
