Lefors wasn't all that bad

Shocking the Elks sign another good "character" to the roster.

He's good enough to win a Grey Cup with a strong supporting cast. We almost won a cup with Dinwiddie and a much poorer defense.

He is awful based on what? His time last season with a terrible team where he played a whopping one game? Or is his brief gametime in 2019 where he had a 97.1 QB rating ? What deep analysis did you do evaluating his 3rd down and 1 sneaks which made you come to the conclusion that he's terrible.

I think we may have worked together lol. The NFL jerseys were 100% being made from the real factories it was dead on complete with the tags and everything. Lots of Chinese factories keep the machines going on throughout the night and sell products on the side.

Time for everyone to get some new jerseys

I thought the half time show was pretty underwhelming, it seemed like they did the show on the cheap this year. Also did Snoop really need to lip synch at the start of it? I think a lot of people liked it because it brought nice memories but the performances were pretty bla. It was funny watching 50 cent struggle to catch wind. The game was decent, very average and that last play of the game was a questionable play selection.

Back when it happened I had said that it shouldn't matter if someone was hurt or not, the act itself is terrible and it is "lucky" that nobody was hurt in the end. I don't care if he was the best or worst player in the team, it's a super selfish and stupid thing to do and far worse IMO then taking PED's. Had he ran over a kid while drunk would people still be saying "Give him a chance and only give him a 1 game suspension because people make mistakes in life". I'm not saying the guy is an evil human and should be jailed for life or anything, but clearly he lacks maturity and character and a real professional wouldn't get themselves in trouble like this. The claims of him winning the Grey Cup on his own is probably a stretch or a reach on his words but "if true" it clearly shows he's a selfish and not a typical O'Shea type player. For once I agree with TBurgess... fans really do turn a blind eye when a member of our team does something scummy (such as drinking and driving) and love to bag on players on other teams when they do similar things. Fortunately for us O'Shea has brought in lots of good guys with character so this is an anomaly and not the norm (unlike the typical Riders or Jones teams of the past).

I criticized his character, people gave him a free pass probably because he was our leading receiver.

I seem to remember people trashing on me when I said the guy was a bum and should of been suspended for the season for drinking and driving.

How can the experts not?

Kids are immune to Baby Shark.... my little one never gets tired of it 😵

Not sure what iccuoati9n means but the Ottawa situation isn't based out of hate. It's based about people thinking about a violation of their own freedoms. It mostly stems from ignorance and selfishness but I wouldn't say it's hate at all. I'd think a world history lesson or even current world events if you were to step out of your bubble and educate yourself about what goes around the world you would ACTUALLY learn what hate is. I'd consider people getting murdered purely based on color of skin/religion and other factors to be true hate crimes. I don't consider a bunch of uninformed yokels honking horns blocking traffic and saying they dont' want to be controlled the same as people living in fear and hiding because they will get beaten or killed. Calling people out on social media seems pretty cowardly and lazy if you truly cared about the situation. Complaining about a situation from a keyboard anonymously seems much less brave then putting yourself out there in the line of fire and standing up for what you believe. While I don't agree or share the same beliefs of those people I can at least understand that the reason that most people are doing what they are doing is because they feel violated. Similar to the BLM events from recent years I'm sure some bad eggs are hopping on and trying to stir **** up or use this event as a reason to be an *******. To paint everyone as a nazi dear lord the amount of ignorance and close mindedness makes me feel like I'm on the Riderfans forum. It's almost like I'm talking from someone in the Bible Belt Winkler area... that's what it seems like? Very similar close minded mentality but this time on the opposite end of the spectrum that some folks in the Bible Belt think like.

The narrative was that our new DB's last season were going to be a liability because of a few blown spots in the first game. That quickly changed.

If you were to go to a parade (say the Flames won the Stanley Cup) and saw someone acting like a racist or claimed they were a Neo Nazi. What would you do? Would you start throwing fists? What if security does nothing? Would you leave because of one person who is making an idiot of themselves? Are all the people who are at the parade now deemed racists nazis because they didn't physically grab the guy and unlawfully tossed him out?

It shows that you and him are reaching very hard to make an argument that is it. I'm sorry if you guys live such miserable lives that you have so much hate that you believe everyone is a nazi. I'm not a religious person but maybe you guys should go to church or find something in which will help remove the bitterness and hatred from within because the tunnel vision or close mindedness is extremely apparent. The point with Trudeau is that I can say he's a racist because what he did was in bad faith and his apologies years later was not made in good faith. You have zero proof that I am incorrect therefore I can label anyone who voted Liberal as a racist. Personally I don't think he is a racist but many people do so who is to say that these folks are wrong? You make fun of me saying this but are completely oblivious at the fact that JCOn and I guess yourself are doing the EXACT same stretch of accusations by calling people Nazis. I feel sorry for you guys and hope that one day you can have an open mind and not tunnel in on the hate so much. It's sad.

It shows how ridiculous his statement is.

Did you vote for Trudeau? Can I call you a racist then since he donned the black face?

I'm assuming Edmonton is more of the loud bad locker room ego driven team these days?

Agreed , my main point was JCON was calling everyone a Nazi and my opinion is that no this is not true. A small minority are legit Nazi sympathizers but most of them are just misguided fools. Why these misguided fools are not attacking the Nazi sympathizers, maybe because they are cowards? Maybe because they are sheep? Maybe they are not self-aware? Maybe they believe in people being allowed to speak their mind? Most likely they don't want to create a fight? No idea but I wouldn't call these other folks as people who want to wear SS uniforms and doing Hitler cosplay.

I don't care if people **** on my hopes here.... I hope Edmonton gets absolutely trounced this season and want them in dead last place more so then the Riders. The sooner Jones and the knobs are gone the better.

Why not? We ran the ball perfectly fine with Brady and Augustine and it's not like Lawler was the only guy who was catching balls. Also why look at it with the cup half empty, OIiveria was player of the week in his very first start who is to say that he doesn't improve from last year and performs even better?

Super ignorant comment shame on you. Seriously you make light of Nazis and throw that word on anything. Its as stupid as saying that anyone who voted for Trump is 100% racist/nazi/criminal horrible human. If you think that way then I truly feel sorry for you.

You are saying every protestor is a nazi? Come on now. Misguided and uninformed maybe. but calling people a Nazi truly shows how ignorant you are. You shouldn't use terms like that so loosely and to accuse everyone of being a Nazi is terrible. Shame on you.
