bearpants

I don't have any kids so I remember football players instead... in this case, yes, it's purely memory... but sometimes I'll do a bit of research then post something and try to pass it off as my own knowledge

yes I forgot about Andrew Green... I think you're right... he was definitely the "unsung hero" of that line...

exactly what I was thinking... his bullshit, Rider-blowing shtick has reached an all time low... the best to do would be to ignore him... especially as fans of another team... you know he'll have a bunch of green-goggle fans following him til they die!

Not that it really matters... but I believe it was Gauthier-Labatte-Picard-Donnelly-Goodspeed... With good ol' Matt Sheridan as the 6th man...

Technically it's Ed Hervey that traded Nichols...

I got all tingly just seeing both of them on the starting depth chart for the first time this year... He was awesome last week when Wild went down... I don't expect a huge drop off at that position this week...

yeah I was just wondering if Christophe is Andy's brother, cousin, some other relative...

watch the replay... that's not what happened... the ball was firmly in his hands after he reaches forward... that one is completely on Sheppard... that is the one you're talking about, right? EDIT: apparently replays of drops are hard to find... I couldn't find this one, it's not even in the 6 min CFL.ca recap....

I think you could break that 10% down even further to the people who get wasted and have a good time and the people who get wasted and start **** as a consequence...

very interesting post... I can't believe BC and Calgary have not been swept in back-to-back games in the past 12 years... maybe we can change that for BC this year...

great interview... smart, candid and entertaining... I don't know about you guys but if Wild has to miss any time I'm ok with Burnett filling in (I realize it might be a moot point. If Harris is out we may need to shift the ratio by starting Hurl at MLB)

The only thing I want to comment on right now is the location of the Canada/Russia game tonight... I absolutely can't wrap my head around why they would play a Canada/Russia game in Pittsburgh... other than it being a neutral site, which also doesn't make any sense b/c the whole tournament is being played in Toronto anyways.... literally any other city in Canada would have been a better choice... guarantee MTS centre would be sold out for this game... Not that his game means much... just seems like a huge money making opportunity missed... any Canadian city would sell 15-20K seats... will Pittsburgh sell 10k for this game?

I'd probably argue they have some decent receivers right now... Holly and Collins could be good in the future... Roosevelt and Bagg (when healthy) are pretty solid now... they also have no QB depth... after Durant their QBs probably aren't roster players on most other teams...

the only part of the story I have trouble with is the beer be intentionally dumped on the head of a 9 year old... maybe I have too much faith in humanity... and I think the entire story is terrible and wish none of it had happened... I feel for that family that they had to go through any form of verbal abuse... it is completely unacceptable... I've had season tickets for 13 years so I've obviously seen some $h!t go down... but I can't even imagine a situation escalating between 2 adults where beer is dumped on someone... let alone with a child involved...

I disagree... if you watch the replay again you'll see he stretches out and falls down... it's not a full out dive... it was a ball that should have been caught... as for the Dressler one, you're right, that would have been an extremely difficult catch... but you can't necessarily blame Nichols... Nichols was thinking inside and Dressler was thinking outside... one of them screwed up... we don't know which one...

it's kind of odd for you to just assume it's one of the die hard fans who would do something so deplorable... in my experience (winnipeg and regina) it's the diehard fans that are the most respectful... it's the fringe fans that just go to one game (usually the banjo bowl) to get drunk and yell at opposing fans... again, very strange conclusion for you to jump to...

Pretty good list... I think in the official bearpants rankings, I wouls switch Durant and Burris... probably knock Masoli down below Willy and Glenn... That's not much of a compliment... I think I'm probably a smarter QB than Micheal Bishop!

I listened to it on cjob... nothing really noteworthy (I probably wasn't playing that close attention)... afterwards Geoff Courier was speaking with Knuckles and he had kind of a funny question... I'm paraphrasing here "do you think there's gotta be some kind of catch here. It just seems like we're so used to being let down by this team."

You mean Milanovich and Brady... Willy is now with the Argos...

literally one person suggests Glenn might be the better qb... not sure I'd call that a controversy...

wow... I'm almost tempted to say this trade seems too good to be true... I don't think Glenn is a huge downgrade from Willy... and then we get a first, upgrade a 4th to a 3rd, and get a high quality DB... have to wonder where Heath fits in to an already stacked secondary...

agree... we haven't beaten them this year... but that's not to say we can't...

please no...

haha... I remember all the bending over backwards the Riders were doing to explain why they only had a half full house the opening game of 2014.... same situation... garbage weather and delays... except the rider game was a weekend afternoon... with the team coming off a grey cup championship.... not Wednesday night... with a 2-4 team with almost no winning in the past 5 years...

Well... we did go to the Grey Cup that year... so I'm not sure "Kaboom" applies to this situation...
