It was an OL finishing a play. It was a legal block, Robertson was in kind of an awkward position trying to move forward between the blocks and got his foot stuck under him. I guess now there's sometimes a penalty called for being too far from the ball.

Fatty Liver Posted July 11, 2022 Report Posted July 11, 2022 1 hour ago, rebusrankin said: Craig Dickenson shows a lack of leadership and just makes excuses with his comments. To be fair that interview was made immediately after the game, it will be interesting to see if his stance changes once he reviews the game film and hears from O'Day and indirectly from the team's board of directors. This goes beyond football and they may go over his head to remove the tarnish from their organization. Noeller 1

Dodge and Burn Posted July 11, 2022 Report Posted July 11, 2022 Riders could have attempted to get ahead of this today with some discipline announced. Nothing but crickets... The franchise is incapable of keeping thier players in line. You look at the last 3 years and the laundry list of idiot, me first, dirty players, it's no surprise they have done nothing. It's a pattern. It's bad for the league, it's bad for the image of the CFL. Moreover, look at what the mellonheads are saying on RF. The Rider brand stinks more everyday. blue_gold_84, JCon, Noeller and 1 other 4

That would ensure that the team suffers for keeping the jackhole around when they knew who he was. Noeller 1

Dickinson said on Sportscage he will sit Marino this week no matter what the league decides. I’d embed the tweet but I’m too lazy to find it TBURGESS 1

Noeller Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Posted July 12, 2022 That's butter soft and not nearly enough, but if they do anything harsher, the PA fights it and maybe it ends up at 0 games. This way I'm betting they hope the PA 2ont fight it... Bigblue204 1

Nolby Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 6 games would've been a very nice number but 4 still sends a bit of a statement. Are suspensions unpaid as well? Bigblue204 1

rebusrankin Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 Should be a lifetime ban. TSN should have the Marino cam when he comes back until the pos ends up out of the CFL for good. JCon and Bigblue204 1 1

Okay- maybe Chris Jones might pick him up.

Especially considering if he had the two "intent to injure" hits in separate games he'd be looking at even more. Then you have the fact that he got a 1 game suspension for being a racist *******. That's enough to sit you down for the year. This is Canada not the deep south. **** rebusrankin, BigBlueFanatic, blue_gold_84 and 2 others 2 3
Blue_Dragoon Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) It feels like the league is looking to not get embarrassed by having another appeal go against them with this ruling. This feels like the maximum punishment they could dole out that is 99% sure to stick. Edit: For my part I would have liked to see it be much longer.

rebusrankin Posted July 12, 2022 Report Posted July 12, 2022 The racist thing may be worse than the hit. There was enough evidence of him saying racist things that they could suspend him, must have been pretty bad. How do you keep a guy around after that? If a Bomber did this, I feel the mafia would cut him the next day. It is the Rider Clown Show so suspect they will rally to support him. BBlink, Bigblue204, Blue_Dragoon and 1 other 4
