I have been in Saskatoon for the last couple of days and happened to catch CJME radio's Rider adulation show. apparently he is unquestionably the toughest player in the CFL. They played an audio clip where said " my ACL is damaged but not torn or stretched". What?????

the word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days..

The Riders will lose bad Friday. I predict I throw my hat by the middle of the 2nd quarter.

Even more sadly, I’m post-op and on antibiotics so I can’t even drink the pain away.

Debated going to Calgary for the Stampeders vs. Bombers game, but the surgery was of the emergency variety. Still excited to watch that one none the less.

There's nothing worst than being sick, except maybe, being sick and a Rider fan!  In all seriousness, get better soon.

Bang on. Mos sets an extremely high bar for effort, preparedness, physicality  and team work. He doesn’t enforce it with an iron fist, he doesn’t have to. He leads by example and has built a culture where the locker room checks it self. 
 

if any thing guys don’t want to disappoint mos or let down the trust he puts in them. That’s why he gets the most out of players. 
 

watching the grey cup parade in the stadium the best example of his leadership was him and his wife picking up garbage off the field. Idk how many coaches in the league would do that. But he did it with a smile. 
 

some times his personnel choices drive me crazy. But man id have no problem giving him a life time contract because he’s always going to lead a high character team   

Another great example is the grey cup presentation... all the players on stage collecting the trophy and celebrating... meanwhile O'Shea is just on the field looking up like a proud father.

Hope they gave you some strong pain killers ... kidding aside, hope you get well soon

Looks like an NI WR will be available soon. Not really surprised he got cut this quick.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have listed Cody Fajardo as the starting quarterback for their Week 8 matchup with the B.C. Lions, despite missing last week due to injury and COVID-19.

All insults to Riders fans and Saskatchewan in general, best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. And remember that your immune system will not be 100% for 3-8 months if you have had a general anaesthetic. You will be definitely more susceptible to COVID.

And he recently walked across Lake Diefenbaker to heal a wounded swan.

Wouldnt mind if we picked him up. Always thought he was pretty good with Hamilton. Canadian RB Jamal Lyles released too. 

[bigg jay]

Just another week of massive roster changes in Edmonton...

Continuity = the enemy of success! Jones is a genius!

[JuranBoldenRules]

Lyles and Jones would look good on our practice roster.

Not sure if Jones is willing to play special teams, but Lyles does.

[Bomber_fanaddict]

Yup Jones and Lyles are worth a look. And maybe kick the tires on Holley although that’s probably not gonna happen. 
 

That’s quite the roster over haul this early

in a season!

outside of doing it for spite...there is no reason to go after him. He'll be lucky to be a starter anywhere outside of SSK.

Hey, hope you feel better soon. I had my left shoulder replaced on June 20th. It's going super duper but it was rough after surgery for a couple of weeks. The new shoulder feels better now than my old shoulder on the date of surgery.

I was supposed to go to Winnipeg to see the Bombers host the Stamps on July 15th but like you, I was on antibiotics & major pain killers. Plus I would have to wear this massive sling to protect my shoulder so we decided to stay in YYC & we sold our tickets. I just realized that if I made that trip, I'd be dealing with pain & other **** so it was better to stay home. I'll be there for the Banjo Bowl though. Ain't missing that as it'll be nearly 3 months after surgery.  

Best of luck in your recovery!!!

If you throw enough mud at a wall some of it will stick. I'd hate to be a fan of the Elks with Chris Jones as HC & GM. 

[rebusrankin]

I'd like us to bring in both Jones and Lyles. Jones especially because we need some more national receiving depth.

Doesn't all the turnover make players less likely to go to Edmonton?

[do or die]

I drink gin all of the time and my liver still functions.   Now, some would call me a hero, but I prefer to downplay such talk......

[Geebrr]

I’m sure there is an apartment block of free agent football players who just happen to all gather at the same time at the same place to practice football in Edmonton.

I suspect the Bomber brain trust is way ahead of us on this. The FIFO factor may play into this.
