Let's go Rough redblack Riders ... Lions are still sleepy ...

You know when you take a dump and look in the toilet afterwards and wonder what that was and what you could have eaten? Then you flush the toilet, wash your hands, and walk away? That’s what this game was …

Run very fast …

Another Wilson but not Pokey’s brother 😎

Prayers for Stan and thankfully this game is over and we somehow figured out how to win 🏈😙

That would be a terrible place to lose your cat … never mind …

After LD we’re going to hear “Bombers Cheat no fair”

Awww too bad I’m banned from there 😁

Don’t apologize, I really enjoyed it (especially the end 😉).

Riders lose, my favorite part of the week 😁

Second part is “developing” 😉

First part is happening nicely …

Big build up, fantastically falling on their face 😁

Of course last week the Ticats were like, Edmonton?

Because Lucky is returning, they have him listed as a starter. Without Drew W he would be in as backup if Lucky wasn’t tasked with that. With Drew in he would be on the practice roster.

Back in the late 80’s early 90’s the CFN (Canadian Football Network I believe it was called) broadcast some of the CFL games. Bob Irving was one of the TV PBP people that worked those games. That was almost perfect …

BTW, I know the clown you are referring to, I’m just giving it to Edmonton (what can I say, I’m bitter about the 1980’s ) …

Is it possible to narrow that down? I mean we are talking about Edmonton here 🤡 😉

There are several clowns from Edmonton, can you be more specific? 😉

He's young yes, but being Canadian, particularly at QB has NEVER been a consistent marker of longevity at the position in this league, particularly when the QB position has always been penciled in as an import in the minds of almost every coach who has ever been a part of this league. Sure there's Russ Jackson in the 60's, Gerry Datillio for a short period with the Als in the 80's, ummm ... I know there are more but the names don't easily roll off the tongue. There's just too big of a QB factory in the US for coaches to waste time on developing a Canadian. I know Rourke played in the US college system but there truely are many more like him down there whether we want to accept that or not. You can believe his recent two year fail tour of the NFL was prejudiced by his nationality alone if you want, but that's not the whole story. There is simply more talent down there and after what, 4 teams, he wasn't deemed up to snuff. If Rourke returns to his 2022 form he will definitely be a factor in the CFL, but ... if he's just middle of the road or worse he'll be out of there quicker than a Riderfan turns poopy on a kicker ...

Really Rusty Rourke? Perhaps by then we’ll see the Valiant Vigorous Victorious Versatile Vernon? 😉

We don’t play them again until possibly the playoffs so it doesn’t matter to me what he does until then. I kind of hope he sucks now simply because I love when a media hype train gets irreparably derailed 🙃

Rourke is overrated and I’m including his entire body of work from 2022 on. Until he does something it was a huge overpay and investment by the Lions IMO. I thought last week before this game that it’s a very big gamble on BC’s part because of the ramifications to the current team moral and the fact they already have an established leader in VAJ. I believe messing with that team zeitgeist very rarely works. Saying that, I’m sure he’ll play better, but will it be good enough for the Lions to get where they want? Me personally, I don’t think so. They had been a team that was winning with a powerful offence and a very mediocre defence. Since the Bombers exposed that offence on August 1 and last night, it’s even more crucial that they get back to the powerhouse offence they were earlier in the season. Rourke has too much pressure on him to do that I believe. Might have been better for him to go to a team like the Ticats where expectations weren’t that great. Anyway, if I’m wrong I won’t be disappointed, it’s great for the league having star Canadians in skill positions 👍🏻

In honour of the Bombers 700th team victory, here’s a complete list of CFL franchise wins (and losses for Riders fans 😉) https://stats.cfldb.ca/league/cfl/all-time-team-records/

But will he be better than VAJ? I know he’s Canadian blah blah
