Losers? Riders? Nevermind...same thing anyway. Yea...it is awesome. A lot of the diehards are starting to demand a change in culture. Even they realize it's a recipe for a lost season.

I would rather all 3 of our byes come in the last half of the season. That's when the wear and tear really kicks in. Kenny who? JK...Lawler is awesome,, but it seems pretty obvious by the numbers this year that Ellingson is a more than capable replacement. He quietly produces. Always has. Like you I never really noticed him because he's not a flashy big play guy. Just quietly racks up the receptions and moves the sticks. Always knew he had great hands, but never realized how much he gets targeted. (looking at past stats)

As pointed out by a Bomber fan in attendance at TDA on Reddit....both teams came out of the same end zone tunnel. The Argos could not take the field without coming through the Riders side of half. It's literally the dumbest excuse in the world.

It's kind of funny to watch how Fajardo can jumo up and down after a completion, but limps so bad his leg is dragging behind him like Igor after and incompletion or interception. I didn't notice this until I rewatched the game and I was just embarrassed for him after doing so.

Probably pretty unfair to expect Dobson to be a dominant lineman in game 6 of his career. Fair point of Gray though, however, he isn't that bad either....he's just not Desjarlais. It's a different position to play that requires a different skill set than OG. Gray has the footwork to be an OT, and OT could potentially be a better fit for him than OG. It is not true that an OG cannot be an OT if they are out of position at OG to start with.

Cody has submitted his thoughts to the CFL rules committee. Highlights include "5 steamboats" and flag belts for QBs.

The memo you are referring to was written by Ambrosie, and circulation was halted at the request of the league BOG who have been conspiring against the RIders and Cody Fajardo for years now.

Duke with another Rider disgusting display in warm up. Just completely out of control this team.

He did not apologize for trying to take out Boyds knees a few plays earlier, barely alluded to the hit that injured Masoli, made most of his apology about a "misunderstanding" of his racist comments, and made no apology for the grotesque victory lap he did knowing full well he ended a man's season and had just been ejected for it. This apology is almost condescending. How anyone could think this is a proper apology is beyond me. The Riders organization should have at least made sure their pre-written apology that they wrote for Marino contained an apology for each suspension. All he seems sorry for was the racist comments.

The thing is that every single player in this league knows it too, and are going to provoke the crap out of him. Does anyone believe he will grit his teeth and take it. I don't.

The silver lining in all of this, is it just makes me appreciate the Bombers so much more. Thank you for that Marino, Dickenson et al.....and I must admit I am more than a little reveling in the tire fire this is.

Just as well. He would only make it worse. Everything he says is just a tire fire.

If he had done this a couple days ago he certainly could have prevented a lot of unfortunate comments by a lot of people in the Rider organization. Well, at least they have publically acknowledged that they are a douchebag of an organization. That is the first step on the road to recovery. Now they need to attend the meetings. If they attend one tonight I believe it Chris Jones turn to bring the coffee and donuts.

Dickie will be backpedaling like a 5' half back covering Lucky Whitehead on a go route.

In fairness. Dickenson looked really bad before the fake apology.

But Dickenson assured us that their were no comments made because Marino has a black girlfriend. I don't know what to believe. I think I will call up Michael Ball for some sage words of wisdom.

#JUSTICEFORJOHNMURPHY This is not to imply that John Murphy should be welcomed back to the CFL, or what he said was anything but deplorable, but Marino getting one game for doing the same thing that Murphy lost his career over seems overwhelmingly unfair. Somewhere out there Craig Dickenson is preparing John Murphy's defence....judge not lest ye be judged or something stupid like that.

I doubt it. A half assed apology is almost worse than no apology. At least he openly admitted to being a racist. Probably only because a mic picked it up and he couldn't deny it.

No apology for either attempt to injure, and no apology for his disgusting celebration of the play he broke another players leg. Has this guy really learned anything?

He's probably off looking for proof that the CFL strong armed Marino into lying about comments he didn't make.

No deflection necessary. The Libs are increasingly slipping in the polls....and you better believe that politicians are keenly aware of how they are polling. It's laughable to suggest otherwise. Polls matter. Sure it's mid-term but the Libs cannot let the Cons get a lead that they can't come back from.

I can understand O'Daisy not coming forward initially and letting Dickie run with the ball on this one. However, after the public comments made by Dickie I cannot understand why O'Day wouldn't save him from himself. Just a rudderless leadership group all around.

I doubt it, as it fall outside their ability to do anything about since the Redblacks apparently did not take the bait, but it surely shows how loose of a cannon this guy is. Doubt the league could use it, but I am sure it is something that they were aware of when passing judgement on this guy.

That's a question that's usually directed at me that subsequently sets off a drunken rant. Most of the time they are not wrong....but I love to rant and argue.

Yep. They are usually the first in line for the position. lol I honestly don't believe they will be. They will look into the contents of the investigation to make sure it was done fairly, and once they find that it was this will be over from their perspective I would think, Other than to advise Marino on their findings, and give him advice on damage control probably. Forgotten amongst the gross on-field displays, and reaction afterwards, is the fact that Marino tried to initiate a public altercation with members of the Redblacks at The Keg, the day before. Dickenson says heat of the moment, picking fights before the game says otherwise.
