So.... Scheer, or Trudeau .. 😛

THAT'S GOLD JERRY! GOLD!

So I didn't follow the CFL power rankings... but putting the Riders 1st last week and now 4th this week? How does that make any sense?

Jets would be better getting Connor on a long term contract. I would try to sign Laine to 1 year contract to say "Alright.. you want your 10 million, then prove it" cuz he's still an RFA after that. At any rate, the Jets may need to start adopting a next man up mentality as those two are absent from TC.

you obviously did not listen to the Banjo Bowl rules at the game. I thought you were better than this.

Why bother listening to that biased / arrogant / classless fan base. It's not worth your time.

Yeah I was jacked and the Bombers didn't disappoint. 6 -0 at IGF this year. And we exposed the riders huge today. They had no answer and had streveler not missed wolitarsky on those deep balls we could have hit 45 pts today . Didn't hear much from Hughes and Johnson today. Jefferson was a beast.

Streveler - huge runs and oozing confidence Bomber D Line - fartjo was under pressure all game Winston Rose - CFL pick leader Total dipshit player of the game -- Ed Gainey for taunting Mike OShea and the bomber bench near the end of the game. Classless just like their fan base.

It's game day! I'm absolutely jacked for this game. Let's send the Riders home licking their wounds!

Just saw that hit by Lokombo.... What a POP!

I work for Birchwood...maybe I can ask Steve Chipman for some sponsor dollars.

You realize that Suitor is just a Rider Fanboy... According to him you can't call anything on the Riders, and you're to go out of your way to justify an infraction by the Blue.

You guys watched the game... are they injured? Or were they just flat out bad?

This is a classic "letter or the law" vs "spirit of the law" debate here. By the letter of the law the toothless CFL braintrust is correct...no rule was broken. It's a convenient hiding place for them not to entertain anymore discussion and wash their hands of it.

Well it's official.. the geniuses at CFL determined the hit on Rempel was not dirty and therefore no further discipline is warranted. Also forum favourite and soon to be pulitzer prize winner Paul Friesen says O'Shea was off base for yelling at Dickenson. I'd use this as bulletin board material and smack the living crap out of the Riders this saturday. I have never ever wanted to win a game so badly like I do on Saturday now.

EXACTLY. You simply don't have the time to brace for impact when you are expected to : 1) Snap the ball with your head down 2) Lift your head 3) Get your feet set 4) And brace for impact. In a professional football game, CFL or NFL, this has to happen in 1-2 seconds. In the NFL it might even be faster. There's also a reason the long snapper is a designated position since it requires a unique skill set. There's a reason the CFL put this rule in place to protect the long snappers. Delusional Rider Fans will never see the logic in this unless it happened to one of their players. While we complain about the TSN panel, and their commentary... they are all filled with former CFL stars, who played the game and know the rules and understand the pace the game is played at. If they agree the hit was dirty, Bob Irving agrees the hit was dirty , MOS (another former player and well respected person) thinks the hit was dirty... guess what it's likely a dirty play. I understand that they are sometimes way off base, but that doesn't happen very often. They know what they are talking about... they are the subject matter experts. My .02

Just catching up on all the discussion here... Wow sounds like the Bombers were royally screwed on this game. I hope we absolutely demolish them on Saturday. When Bob Irving complains about officiating you know something is up.

Nevermind the defence having the riders pinned at the 5 yd line and fold like a cheap tent. Now I have to endure another nauseating dose of how Cody Fajardo is the greatest qb

Why are you guys bringing back these painful memories... I had buried them deep inside . I have to go back to therapy. Someone start a gofundme for my upcoming sessions.

I don't like this at all. The bombers passing game even with Nichols has been friggen pathetic. We had two awesome receivers in Adams and Matthews. Maybe design an offence that targets both of these receivers effectively and hey maybe the passing numbers might get better. I remember in training camp Nichols was raving about Matthews and Adams. I agree with Doug Brown, this will come back to bite us.

A very good article indeed. I'm of the opinion this wasn't intentional, as Harris does seem very contrite and apologetic. The fact that the head coach and several of his teammates backed him up seems to reinforce this wasn't intentional. Yes I understand solidarity and such, but if he was a cheat, you think others would be willing to go on a limb to sacrifice their reputation. That being said, when you live in the limelight, every action you undertake is scrutinized, and every black mark you encounter enlarged and dissected under a microscope. That's the pro athlete life. One bad thing can wipe away 10 good things. It's unfortunate that this happened to him and everything he has and will do gets marked with an asterisk.

I don't think MOS or the Bomber brass will let him appeal it. He's pretty integral to the Bomber image on and off the field.
