Even Tait said something about it in his post-game write up.....saying it was a bad call......and I'm like "what??"

I don't understand how anyone can say it wasn't a PI, or even marginal.......Cox put his arm inside Dressler's, and prevented him from using both hands to get to the ball. How is that in any way NOT a PI? It's by the book, and blatant...

In fairness, Johnny Adams was an All Star last year...like, literally, he was voted as an All Star. So you have to give him that. And first game back, he looked really good, up against the best receiver in the league. He definitely stumbled BAD vs the Riders, but let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Frederick and Randle both considered options to replace an injured CJ Roberts this week, according to Bauming....

Lol... That's cute you think Country isn't auto tuned BS. Country radio is mostly a steaming mess.

Wild and Leggett also not on the field today. Randle and Macho both back practicing, tho it should be noted that Loffler still practicing with the 1s, thankfully. And Bauming says Sukh Chung also out today, and not sure if it's injury related or not....will know more after practice.

Very curious if Denmark is dinged up or if they just don't want that many little guys on the field....and if so, was it a trade-off between Denmark and McDuffie??

Let's maybe shuffle the Poli-Speak to General Forum....

You're gonna get tossed outta your Redneck 'Burtans Club with talk like that, Frenchie...... #Showderrrrrr #Chowda #Burta

Lotta reasonable facsimiles in Winnipeg, that's for sure...

He's already only working during Bombers season, and you gotta think money isn't an issue. He wants to spend more time with the wife, with his kids, and maybe most importantly, his grandkids. Gotta think he hangs 'em up at the end of this contract...

Isn't there an old story about him bombing it a long way from his knees......something to that effect? There's so many Billy Braski -type stories about Brock's arm...

Mariska Hargitay.......show respect to Lt Benson, damn it....

This'll be it for him, I believe. When this current Bombers/Corus contract expires, TSN will almost certainly win the next bid and have their own guy. Someone young and hip, I'm sure...

Iso is actually a Stamps fan who hangs out here, so you have that end covered. Need an Als fan and I think we're set now...

does anyone make any moves around the deadline? It's the CFL, not the NHL....

not a Jump Street fan, eh?

I would love to know how it's possible that RP hasn't seen any kind of disciplinary action from the league yet......even if he was hiding behind "freedom of the media", he's gone much too far. Just because you're media and you're expected to criticize things, it doesn't give you Cate Blanchette to just say what you want, when you want...

Bob Irving is strictly an employee of Corus Entertainment. 100% independent of the WBB FC, aside from the fact that Corus owns the exclusive broadcast rights to the team....that much, I know for a fact.

Yep, he was given an ultimatum awhile back...I remember that....and he chose Riders. I have some friends working in Regina, but I have a hard time getting a straight answer on what exactly the deal is. I believe Rod still hosts "Sports Cage" in the afternoon for them, but that may also be a freelance kinda thing.....but, as I stated, my understanding is that his calls of Riders games is paid for by the team.

I will say this........one of the most honest, knowledgeable, real (in short: REAL) Riders fans I've ever known, is fully on board with what Rod Pedersen has been spouting and told me, straight as an arrow, that he fully believes in and supports Chris Jones, and knows he's doing the right things. Called this "a rebuilding year" and that everything would be hunky-dory next year. As has been said, even during the Mike Kelly year, which was arguably the darkest point in our long and storied history, we never stooped to the level of blaming the league, blaming conspirators......it was on Bauer, Kelly and all BOG people who started the roll downhill. No matter how bad our fan base can get at times, we've never gone "Full Riders Fan" like this.....

Florida definitely building something down there. Some really good pieces...

does he still do Pats? I thought I heard, some time ago, that he was asked by CKRM to give up one or the other, so he chose the Riders over the Pats. I wonder if that's how this agreement came to be....he's being paid by the Riders for their games, and paid by RM for the Pats. This way he can do both, but RM is only paying him the OT for one thing....could be.......

My understanding is that he works for the Riders as their PBP man, rather than working for CKRM. CKRM happens to be the host broadcaster, but they have a unique situation where the PBP guy is not actually an employee of the radio station, but rather of the team. So, in theory, if the broadcast rights went to a different station, Rod would move with the rights. Now, that's my understanding of it, but I have not been able to get conclusive answers from radio friends over there...

My vote is for BLM, personally, but Collaros is damn good for sure. I'm impressed with how quickly he's back to top form following that injury. He comes back and basically from Game 1, he was lighting things up...

I think I'm cheering for the young guns team more than Team Canada, but I'll follow both relatively closely. As much as I think this tourney is a stupid POS cash grab, I'm pretty hockey starved at this point of the year, so I'm looking forward to watching the games..
