I hope the Redblacks are about as tired of hearing about the great Nathan Rourke as I am and serve up a defensive gem. I crave some schadenfreude. 

have some freude:

Rourke looks like the real deal. It's great to see another quality QB in the league, especially one so young.

And Canadian.

You’re right. I mean against us this week. Short week has given my brain a case of the mondays.

ish...... he's as much a Canadian as Woogie. 

I'm more excited for Ford, who's a born/raised/CIS-trained Canadian. That means way more to me than an American who was trained in the US and played NCAA but just happens to be "Canadian Enough" to qualify as an NI.....

What? He was born in Victoria and was raised in Burlington. Was talented enough to play his senior season in the States and play Div 1.

I thought one of Rourke's parents was Canadian, but he was born and raised down south?? Maybe that's someone else.... but I could have sworn that was him. Did he play CIS at all?

Nah, he played for Ohio. But, he only went down south to go a top prep school.

[Noeller]

Yeah, my point stands..... I'm more happy for Ford, who's a true U-Sports athlete competing at Canada's highest level.

That describes a lot of guys.

Woli fits the description. Canadian mom.

We're dumping on a kid who was born and raised in Canada, who spent his last high school season in the US and then played college in the US for not being Canadian enough? 

There are a lot of talented Canadian kids who play college ball in the US or who even play part of high school in the US. Dallas Sims is a Winnipeg kid who is playing in the US now for high school and has multiple D1 offers. Is he not Canadian enough?

Don't fault a kid who wants to play at the highest level he can because he has huge dreams. Playing HS ball in the US is a great opportunity. So, is college. He's still Canadian.

it’s just his side but sounds like he wasn’t in the wrong to me. That team needs guys who hold them accountable.  

[Bigblue204]

That does seem very odd.

[rebusrankin]

So we're headed into week 5 and Toronto has their second bye already. WTH?

[Noeller]

Tre Wilson signs with L'ks....

 

[JCon]

Awe looks like he played it right. Let the (teeny tiny) bidding war comense! 

[bearpants]

Interesting take... Pinball should do the Argos and the whole CFL a favour and just release this cancer

**** sakes, Als.... Khari got screwed. 

[Booch]

yup....quite the bone job there and no loyalty or any room to make things work....wrong move, but what can you do

[17to85]

Just a total knife in the back. Poor khari.
