On this topic, I'm curious where Nichols contract tops out, with max playing time bonuses and stats bonuses, etc....because Tait mentioned in a piece over the weekend that there is a bit of a cap crunch for the Bombers if Nichols earns everything he's got in the contract...

The CBC cuts away from the Olys, which they paid through the nose for, to show a concert which they're losing a boat load of money on (paying expenses, not taking in a single cent of income), and people are going to complain about it.....******* Christ. Was a fantastic concert....but more than that, it was a fantastic EVENT. Had a blast watching it on Saturday. I'm never going to be considered one of those hardcore Hip fans, but I definitely love the music and it was fantastic to be a part of something with the entire country. More than 11-million people tuned in (one third of the country!!) with more than 4-million watching on TV alone. Unreal. And really glad The People's PM, JPT, who is very much part of that generation that grew up with The Hip, was able to come and hang out.

It's an interesting read because the guy clearly knows football, but there's some bias showing, for sure.

Lotta hindsight here re: Harris and Ray. Second half of last season Harris didn't look all that good, IMO, and there were questions about whether the first half was a bit of a fluke. Ray is a legend... One of the best of all time. It's not as cut and dried as some would like to make it based on this season so far.

I think we're dealing in relative terms, but he did take a cut. Thing is, none of knows the actual dollars and cents...

Hope the Riders beat or are at least competitive vs Edm next week. Want them thinking they've righted the ship before LDC...

Hank took a cut in the offseason.. Was well documented.

We heard it was a sick Gatlin....

How great is it that we end up with a medal after the Muricans and their dope fiend Gatlin get DQed in the 4 x 1? Absolutely loving it...

I believe I read that Yell wears a different kind of shoes than is league-sponsored and didn't cover up the logo, which you have to do lest a TV camera catch it...

Ed Tait.... Even more so.....

Lol @ 25 goals for Laine in his rookie year. Let's see how camp goes....

Actually you couldn't... There was so much of it. Hard to argue.

Wow when did Bob start doing Colour on top of PBP? Y'know the dude is such a pro he probably could pull it off...

Messam had a TD last week for sure....I'm guessing that everyone just assumed you lost, because.....well, #DavidProblems

Minus, y'know.....all the winning...

Apparently there's been a lotta miscommunication about this whole "bromance" thing...according to Scott Oake, who's been there on the scene, Bolt has actually been a little pissed off at De Grasse at times. When ADG tried to turn it on at the end and fake a win in the semi, Bolt was really not impressed and was telling him "Don't do that...not in a semi...." and De Grasse told him he was just joking and to relax...there's been a lot more tension between the two than most suspect. At least, according to an Oake piece on CBC.ca earlier today...fwiw, Bolt said "He's just young...he'll learn...."

I just don't think you ever outright release NI OL. It's way too important, even of you don't personally think the guy is very good.

let's not forget the allegations about going over the maximum practice times....

@iso_55 any idea who the Stamps CFL PA reps are? Would BLM be one? If not, I'd think he would go to his rep, and his rep would know how to progress from there...

My question is, does Keeping play anything but C? 'Cause I'd think the 6th man should be a guy that can play pretty much anywhere, no?

It definitely shouldn't matter, and I think it's kinda lame that we have a thread this long dedicated to what's going on at RF.com........ ..........that said.......after everything we've gone through in the last 10 years or so, we're going to take a LOT of joy in seeing our arch-rival go through something similar. A LOT........

I've been saying that for awhile...angry SOBs, The Trinity........if Jones had tried that "be classy" stomach tap bullshit on MOS, I'm confident MOS could pick him up with one hand, Undertaker style. He's a big man who could get real angry, real quick...

Yeah, Bryant's game never went anywhere...he was just covering up for a lotta useless. When you trust the people you work with and can just concentrate on doing your OWN job? That's the best situation. Stanley Bryant's never not been an all-star-calibre OT.....

Messam....
