Rod Black Posted August 23, 2022 Report Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bigblue204 said: I think they're more concerned about paying a guy 400K to sit on the bench. While also forcing Cody to put up or shut up. This BC team is ripe for the picking. They aren't (or shouldn't) going to put up the big O numbers. 25 points might win it. That makes sense, he is their star, highest paid player and I’d guess they have a 25 foot photo of him in a passing stance on a banner outside the Toilet Bowl. So does making him put up or shut up - hold the guy accountable for his performance. Edited August 23, 2022 by Rod Black Nolby and Bigblue204 1 1

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Posted August 24, 2022 5 hours ago, Rod Black said: If it’s true, it then becomes ironic that Fadarjo complains about his braced knee being targeted. Was there elation and screaming cause he injured a guy or because he sacked the qb? I don't think he yelled because he hurt Rourke but because of the sack. Nonetheless, a guy is down on the field so he should've reigned it in.

Most sacks in football the guy/team celebrates, briefly, then moves on. Not those dicks. SpeedFlex27 1

I can think of any one of a half dozen Bomber fan incidents (and at least a couple of Jet fan incidents) that could be placed somewhere on this list. Shockingly, almost all involve some form of over indulgence in alcohol. Edited August 24, 2022 by TrueBlue4ever

I don't know specifically the situation you're talking about... but it sounds more like they were celebrating a sack than celebrating an injury... I know a lot of these guys are classless but there's a good chance they wouldn't have know he was hurt until well after the play... then again... I didn't see it so maybe you're right

Shivers deserves a good job but when you have a toxic heap you gotta cut it out root and stem. Even a good coach needs to go. I don’t believe dicker makes him start the dirty bastard either. He’s gotta take his responsibility too. I could see handing him the reigns mid season and if he turns it around culture wise keep him. But other wise they need to clean house and get that crap locker room sorted.

I’ll read it as - “fan interaction should be encouraged”, and not brawling. Certainly brawling is out of line, maybe even criminal. Don’t kid yourself, up close contact, interaction between players and fans during a game, even with no brawl is very dangerous and holds potential for harm. The league and the P.A. presumably understand the risks. If the League and the P.A. agree to a rule, should it not be enforced? Haven’t heard of the P.A. filing a grievance on Williams behalf. Seems parties with skin in the game understand, but fans are having a tough time with that. I thought my post was pretty clear that I was not encouraging brawling in the stands. I am most certainly not blaming the CFL for levying a fine for a rule both they, and the CFLPA, have agreed upon. My objection is that I believe that the rule is lame, or at the very least the parameters are layed out poorly.
