Cody Fajardo is this generations Nealon Greene. Change my mind.

Funny he totally reminded me of Ryan Dinwiddie last night, with those weak floaters and 50/50 balls. 

[17to85]

The whole comparison is that Greene was a glorified running back who could run, but passing anything more than 10 yards downfield he was just awful.

What a strange statement from Suitor at the start of the game to talk about 2021 MOP's and cf being considered and rationalize it because we are in an abbreviated season.

In retrospect you should have indeed wore that green tie of yours.

Suitors commentary last night was insufferable. No way he should have been allowed to broadcast, even more pathetic was his attempt at plugging his gig with the Saskatchewan radio station. Very unprofessional in my opinion.

Suitor was an embarrassment. Cheerleading for the green team the entire night.

At the very least then Tsn should bring Stegall into the broadcast booth to temper green homerism with blue. Make it entertaining. Enough with this fake neutrality. Mix it up to attract viewers. 

[Booch]

Yup...he shouldn't be allowed to do the Labour day game ..he's such a homer...Fajardo front runner for MOP...Fajardo was off tonight...no mention it was due to Winnipeg defense..yap yap yap but adds nothing really of any worth to the broadcast

Yup, Suitor has been a Rider shill his whole life, and even he knows it. So much so that he pointed out in the pre-game that he was wearing a silver tie so you couldnt call him a homer, or something to that effect. He forgot to mention the green thong he had on.

It was fajardos jock strap and he was wearing it on his head.

Now if they had Dunigan and Suitor on that would have been hilarious. I could see some good natured banter.

I hope dunnigan does banjo bowl again

And if he does, I hope the LC sponsors the announcers booth.

That broadcast was painful. The worst to watch of the whole year.

I loved watching it actually … seeing them backtrack on everything and fumble over trying to explain why the Riders looked so terrible 🤣

I got pretty fatigued by the amount of times they said riders. I bet if you counted up every reference to both teams sask would have a 10 to 1 advantage.

to be fair, that's mostly just suitor. I think dunigan has picked up on how badly suitor calls bombers games that he goes out of his way to be a blind bombers homer at every chance he gets

Seems to be when Suitor apparently does it. Hypocrisy much?

[BigBlueFanatic]

Late to the party but I’ll also add just how much I enjoyed the game and resultant Bomber victory yesterday.  Sure it’s irksome but we’re talking about a Rider home game on Labour Day weekend, so the (literal) mouth-frothing green mob always takes centre stage, and the broadcast follows suit(or).

Dominant D, the effective O, and mainly-meh-but-not-ultimately-costly special teams play totally outmatched Sask.  Pretenders got thrashed in their own barn and it was ******* glorious.  Bombers players knew how much it cut deep.  

Outside of beating them in the playoffs, I can’t remember so thoroughly revelling in green tears and handwringing.  I was screaming at the TV “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!!” as rider fans poured out with a minute left.  The looks my wife gave me you’d think I was a vampire rolling around in a tub of green blood.

Anyways can’t wait for next Saturday. Carry on!

Given the pages of comments about Suitor, especially during the two week Rider period, it’s not that clear. And I’m an atheist by the way, so the formal title is not accurate and not needed. (That’s a clear joke, just for clarity’s sake). 😁

Maybe you need a touch of Fajardos Jesus sprinkles...

They crapped on him quite a bit during the half time show and even Suitor was saying the guy was mentally losing his cool.

I was listening to the pre-game before the LDC and Tait and Irving were giving major props to Fajardo, talking about all he has accomplished and what hr had done so far this year...but Doug was adamant that he just didn't see it.

He also admitted he could be biased against anything Riders, but damn if he didn't call it.
