Good news everyone! We can let Collaros walk if we act quick and snap up Dominique Davis, he finally shook loose from the RB's

Crazy to think he spent 3 years with ott.

Riders have re signed Kyran Moore according to Farhan. $120 k in hard money. Will miss the first few months rehabbing an injury.

So they are already crying about players being on the 6 game.

He was in the testing area for 8 hours after the game and did not produce a substance, said he could not. Finally got fed up and said he would not give one and left the test room. Said some nasty things on the way out. Was considered a failed test for not producing a sample, got 2 games for that as per CFL policy. Got an additional game for the abuse of the testing officials. So unlike Harris who actually failed a test, he simply did not provide one, but same punishment. All the other comments about “he knew he was guilty”, “obviously using” is purely speculative, but with a logical foundation for that speculation. 

yeah I know the circumstances... I was making reference to the fact that his declined test (which is the proper thing to call it, not "couldn't pee") is considered equivalent to a failed test

Seems a bit hefty for a guy who was on pace for less yards in 2021 then in 2019 before going out with injury. And for someone who may end up missing a chunk of games to start the season.

Agreed, but Kyran Moore can pile up YAC yards, he's part of the reason Fajardo looked at all decent in 2019. SSK probably believes he's critical to their offense, and he just might be

They also believe he is a reason faj sucks at the deep ball.

Props for the Brooklyn 99 reference.

Unless Masoli gets vaccinated I honestly do not think there will be a team that takes him as he can not get back into the country. 

[SpeedFlex27]

Read the last 2 paragraphs. WTF??? The Bomber Defense made a great play on Jaelen Acklin but that's not mentioned. Instead it's Masoli didn't make the throw which prevented him becoming the stuff of legends. The single point is on Jeff Reinbold. He was the STC & took a lot of heat which is why he ran out of the Ti Cats kitchen to the Als.

Glen Suitor advocated for the Riders going over the SMS and paying a fine this year.

This is a colour guy on the league's only broadcaster.

What an incredibly inept qb. How can anyone spend 6 seasons in the CFL, go to every qb meeting, every video session, every practice & game & STILL not be able to spot that elusive 12th man on defense?? That is truly some kind of dense.

Maybe he was asked what the RIders have to do to get out of the West this year. If so, he was just answering honestly.

No joke. He never seemed to show any real improvement. Some great raw tools, but at the end of the day if you have soo few reps at qb by the time you reach the pros you've got basically no chance.

Completely dismissive and disrespectful to the bombers.

the circumstances were obviously different but this play reminds me a bit of the Mike Jones on Mike Jones play from the 2019 GC... the broadcast kept saying how if Ham Jones didn't "drop the ball" it could've been a game changer... except that he didn't drop the ball... Wpg Jones knocked the ball away

Justin Dunk is just bitter because our legit "Super Team" beat his "Super Team" in name only.

“An article that had nothing to do with the Bombers didn’t bend over backwards to praise their greatness at every turn. What a slap in the face to this franchise!”

I can only imagine the chatter this is going to generate......

 

...and just to blow up that image a bit so it's easier to read:

Nothing in there is shocking - the same problems we've been fighting for decades.

Some of these numbers are cherry picked to sound shocking but don't really mean anything.

[TrueBlue4ever]

So based on that report, the league must wrestle with one big question: who do we cater to?

It is often said that the league must attract new younger fans. Well, if this survey is to be implemented, then the best path forward for those young fans is to adopt the NFL model. But the older fans are the ones with the disposable income who will buy the season tickets and want things status quo. 

So are we at the point of “adapt or die” which will alienate the (aging, dwindling, and already tiny 3%) diehards but is the preferred option of the next generation, or is there another way to woo the youngsters. Would they even really care if the rules changed, or would they still stay away?
