Followed by "Cody Fajardo likes peanut butter Cheerios as a pre-game meal" by Brendan McGuire.

And “with Chris Jones’ Elks on the rise, Saskatchewan going all in on hosting the Grey Cup , and the perennial Stampeder playoff appearance, will the aging Bombers be on the outside looking in this coming November?” By guest writer Jamie Nye, on loan from cfl.ca

Lol and confused emoji combined really

I look forward to the article coauthored by Nye and McGuire entitled, "Why we were wrong to doubt the Blue Bombers this season (Who knew they would threepeat?).

What a bunch of jealous drivel.....Aging Bombers is all this toad can come up with....Seems to have forgotten all of the ballyhoo and bull$hit of the past year, when media types like him went down that road, and wrote us off before a shot was even fired ....Totally looked past all of the talent on this club... Well we'll be most happy to show this guy how it's done when we show up in Riderville and 3 peat.....AND we've already started by re-signing Ted Goveia for the next two yrs.....more to follow

The odds are better for you to be wearing a fur coat and earmuffs next to Satan than seeing them churn out that mea culpa article.

Maybe ask Speedflex that question. He’s the one that wanted citations for my work. Lol, I joke……

 My point to you is, why write a sentence when a paragraph will do?

Does this fall into the category of 'failing upwards'?

OS is a good coach, no doubt.

But this is simply a way to give him more money. 

This wasn't a merit hiring.

I hate the way the cap works and incentivizes coaches to wear extra organizational hats. Imagine If your qb also had to play wr to get paid competitive qb money. 

Thanks Chris Jones. 🤬

Or if your RB also had to play QB like CoFaj or Isaac Harker.

That's because the ol they play couldn't stop a pass rush of tiddly winks. Basically water boys dressed as ol. 

[Booch]

With no real solutions anytime soon unless they way overspend on at least 3 online positions...basically screwing up rest of roster...a weak one at that as it hasn't gotten it done last 3 years..and their core is not getting younger or have infinite upside...it is what it is

[SpeedFlex27]

Last time the Riders hosted the Grey Cup they had a GM who used napkins to make notes. They loaded up their team & won in 2013. Then spent 3 seasons in the cellar & have never really come close to equalizing that success of that GC year. Let them overspend again & become cellar dwellers again.

Labatte hasn't played since 2019. In his mid 30's. He's done.

Not a fan. We have to worry about our league & fans. Not if a player wants an NFL tryout. We have to get the CFL back on its feet.

With other leagues kicking around this is a must.
