Mr Dee

I’m still pissed after that bullshi*rt targeted hit job. Nobody deserves being disrespected like that.

Intelligent mobility, the Nissan Rogue has it. Simoni Lawrence doesn’t.

Do the Ticats want to throw this game?

Thank goodness they have Rod Black doing other stuff..like basketball. Makes for an all around better game day experience. Less dribbling so to speak..

Damn, look at that downpour. That’s gotta favour those hosers from S. unless Erlington can get untracked also. BUT, Masoli still has the better receivers and is the better playmaker at this stage.

Don’t forget the game has been moved up half an hour except in Saskatchewan where they don’t know how to change the time on those new fangled things...

This is the wurst derailing of a thread in a long time..

I don’t care what Saskatchewan did last year, that was last year. They will struggle to be a .500 team this year.

Ha!

The Command Centre will focus on only overturning calls or non-calls made on the field where a clear and obvious mistake has been made. Saw clear evidence of these type of calls in the Calgary - BC game and the result was a much quicker decision on what happened and the avoidance of the near tossing of challenge flags by the “wronged team”. Pleasantly surprised...

A cracked rib can be very uncomfortable..

With apologies to the Jaggerz and their song “The Rapper” Yap, yap, yap, they call him the ripperYap, yap, yap, you know what he's after.. 😁

Finally some serious CFL action. Thursday, June 13, 7pm ET Game Notes - Saskatchewan at Hamilton The Tiger-Cats and Roughriders have matched up in the CFL's opening day, first-game-of-the-schedule event on just two previous occasions and just once in the last 47 years (2012). Week #1 Success: Since 2014 and the return to a 9-team CFL, Calgary and Ottawa have been the most successful Wk #1 teams. Of note, Winnipeg has not won in Week #1 since 2015, the longest active drought and Hamilton trails at just 1-4. Starting QBs to Start 2019 / Major Turnover: Only 3 clubs - Calgary (Mitchell), Hamilton (Masoli), and Saskatchewan (Collaros) - will be starting the same QB in Game #1 in 2019 as they did in 2018. By comparison in 2018, 5 clubs kept the same Week #1 starter as in 2017. Opening Rosters to Start 2019 - Growth in 1st Year Players: Of the 495 players that appeared on the initial Week #1 CFL rosters after cutdown, a total of 92 players will be entering their 1st CFL year - that represents 19% of CFL rosters. In 2018 that same number was just 81 first year players or just 16% of the total. The lowest pick to make a roster out of the 2019 Draft was Winnipeg's Kerfala Exume chosen 70th overall. Ti-Cats 2018 - Season of Streaks: After a 2-4 start, they went 4-1 to go over .500. They ran out the year at just 2-5 in their last 7. Riders 2018 - Slow Start, Strong Finish: SSK started off just 3-4 but went 9-2 over their last 11 games to wrap up 2nd Place. Saskatchewan comes in riding a 5-game win streak over Hamilton - since 2004 they are 23-7 .767 vs Hamilton. - The Riders have the CFL's oldest roster heading into 2019 at 28.2 years per player - the CFL average is 27.3 years of age. Hamilton's roster contains more 1st Year players (15) than any other club Jeremiah Masoli had 12 games of 300+ yards passing last year, two short of the CFL record of 14 in one season. - Saskatchewan held Masoli to his season-low of 184 passing yards in their visit to Hamilton last year (28-20-184-1-0). - Turnovers were the key in their 2018 season series - Saskatchewan had 2 compared to Hamilton with 8. Saskatchewan tied the CFL record with 11 defensive return TDs matching BC's 11 in 1987. Saskatchewan had the #1 defence in the CFL at just 317 yards per game in 2018 - the first time they were #1 since 2008. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2561/saskatchewan-roughriders-vs-hamilton-tiger-cats/#more

Good - Darrin Bauming reports: O’Shea clarifies on Brandon Alexander — had an equipment issue today. #Bombers

Probably should have its own thread.

Boy, if they didn’t have Bo boy...

Do what’s best for you Kevin. You deserve it. Still think you should be on the Rider roster..

So, you just like bad football eh? JK 🤭 I’ll watch the bastardized version of football (NFL) even though the most of the product doesn’t match the hype/money paid , but, for me, the unfamiliarity of all the players and the discrepancy in talent and coaching doesn’t make for easy watching. I hardly have the patience to make it through a whole game. CFL - quite simply, the brand 🇨🇦 is better in my eyes. Oh well, doomed to being lost again this year...😉

This is interesting and makes sense too. TSN: If an American player or Global player decides to go to a U Sports school and play football for at least 3 years, and graduates, they will count as a Canadian in that draft.

Not too bad - 4 guys in the top ten on TSN 2019 CFL 50 players. 1 Stamp 1 Rider 1 Lion 3 Ticats 10) Stanley Bryant Jr 7) Willie Jefferson 5) Andrew Harris 3) Adam Bighill https://3downnation.com/2019/06/11/2019-tsn-top-50-cfl-players-list/
