Lucky turnover but I’ll take it. And heads up play on the lateral.

Ellingson has been forgotten since the first drive.

They haven’t seemed to apply that standard to Oliviera yet. And he’s still starting. So does it feel like they’ve gone straight from Brady to MCCrae without really trying to give Augustine a real chance?

And only 2 touches. McCrae already with 4.

At what point does Augustine feel screwed over? Still favouring Oliviera on the runs, now bringing in an American to handle the swing passes and sweep runs. Not sure what more Johnny A can do to earn a shot as a starter.

Questionable spot (although I did not notice when the knee went down) and strange look on the measurement (I blame the camera angle for the latter) but a nice stop in any event. And I have never seen a “spot of the ball” challenge overturned.

No one is begrudging the club’s actions in demoting Glass. It’s a business decision. And no one should begrudge the player if he chose to turn down a PR spot, if that’s even how it played out. The rumour mill at best gets it half right half the time But lots of blind speculation with zero facts from more than a few fans as to why Glass was ultimately cut. Does anyone have proof that he was offered a PR spot? Does anyone have concrete info as to why he was released? Not from what I’ve heard, but it hasn’t stopped some from assuming that it must be more than just a production-based decision, that there is likely a character issue at play, or that if he declined a PR spot (and a vastly reduced salary) that he isn’t a FIFO guy by hanging around so it’s OK to tell him to go straight to hell. That’s pretty classless IMO. No one knows his personal circumstance, but he’d hardly be the first player to weigh his options and decide he’s better off being released outright to pursue other employment on another team or in another line of work than sit on the sidelines making lower pay. Maybe he has a family to feed and needs a better salary, maybe another opportunity is upcoming that fits him better…..doesn’t allow fans to blindly call his character into question and kick him on the way out the door for a personal life decision he has made with zero evidence as to why because the FIFO mantra gets thrown out as the end all be all.

Liegghio is 100% on field goals, kicking over 83% on all kicks, has the 3rd highest punting average and 3rd highest kickoff average (min. 4 kickoffs). Maybe hold off on the executions for at least one week?

Yeah it sure can be annoying when someone talks about the same thing over and over and over.

He has his 2 championships, now a big fat contract to strengthen his financial future and he is free to go wherever he wants again next year. I’m thinking he’s not letting it eat him up too much.

He certainly is not a long term replacement at age 67. Maybe Trotz talked to them about needing a year off to re-charge (he still will get paid by the Isles for another season) so Bowness is a filler until Trotz decides to come back or Arniel gets promoted in a year or two.

Time to go with Ellingson. Given my abysmal track record, my apologies to everyone I have just screwed over with that pick who went the same way. Now the real betting question of the week, what is the over/under on the number of times Andrew Harris’ helmet comes off? I’m thinking 2.5.

Has he been around since his Phoenix gambling episode? Honestly, any non-internal hire would be a breath of fresh air to me. Looking at that list we are considering two prior Moose coaches, an ex-gambler, a recovering alcoholic, and the least successful coach the Red Wings have had in the last 37 years.

And yet some still want him to wear the “C”. Not sure what has happened to this club, but there sure seems to be something rotten with all the backsliding since 2018 and player defections/feuds/ trouble retaining or bringing in people who aren’t re-treads. Or do I over-exaggerate? Maybe just my mood today.

If not for the Andrew Harris revenge factor, Winnipeg’s defence would be the obvious choice given their strength and the Argos offensive ineptitude. May still be the best most obvious pick out there. Good luck to you. And take any fantasy advice from me with a pillar of salt. Anyone who has watched me butcher the Lock of the Week year after year knows I generally suck donkey balls at picking fantasy winners.

I’d be wary. He may not put many passing yards up but he will scramble and run more than a few QB option plays, and I doubt Hamilton has been prepping their offence to face him and set up a designated QB spy. They may well sort it out as the game goes on, but the Tigwr-Cat defence has not been their strong suit so far.

Not to me. Pouted in ‘01 and disrupted the team chemistry late in the year because he wanted the ball more when the 3-headed Mills/Blount/Roberts machine was dominating, then did his walkout, and decided getting ripped the night before the Grey Cup was the way to go and we all saw how that turned out. Then another faux “retirement” bit of drama, a careless fumble in the ‘07 East Final that led to Glenn’s busted arm, another no-show in the big game which led Milt Stegall to call out his work ethic and professionalism, and then an ignoble hush hush departure from the team. Have not found my way to forgive him or respect him for those transgressions no matter what great numbers he put up.

Like in the ‘50’s. The 1650’s, in England, that is. Where the Church ran the government, with the King as the appointed head, for life. Sound like the wish of anyone we know nowadays? Oh yeah, it took a Civil War in England in the 1660’s to settle the issue and create a parliamentary democracy.

My God, there sure are an awful lot of keystrokes being spent on the Roughriders lately on what is supposed to be a Blue Bomber fan site.

I think St James was the last one already.

Not a shock. Justice has always been different for the rich.
