When is that actually going to trial? After everyone retires over the next 5 years & nobody cares anymore? The Saskatchewan Roughriders: Doing Their Bit To Rid The Streets Of Somalian Drug Lords.

I guess you would do anything to get out of a trip to #RandleIsland

Way to go Taj. How ******* hard is it to follow simple rules? 

[Blueandgold]

Well if he has to miss a game I'm glad this is the one.

[Jpan85]

Guessing it's going to be more than one game.

What a moron... Take the boy out the ghetto but cant take the ghetto out of the boy.. Shame for riders, bully for us

This guy must be a real piece of …….

 

He's already thought to be an idiot, now he's going out of his way to prove it?

 

Talent…but do they really need that crap? 

Time to mahaul his ass out of town.

Smith being out of the game fills me with.........happiness, particularly because the turkey did it to himself. I believe it was Einstein who said that the two most common elements in the universe were hydrogen and stupidity.

Wow that group of receivers just got a whole lot weaker... So of course we're going to piss this game away now. Everything falling in the Bombers favour, short week for the Riders, guys nicked up, best receiver out of the lineup, perfect conditions for the Bombers to lay an egg. God I hope that's just being beaten down by the last few years talking.

I swear, every week there's a post like this and we end up with the W.. Let's hope the trend continues! *knocks on wood*

[gbill2004]

Nice timing! I wonder if O'Shea decided to take Taj out for beers this past weekend and oops, missed curfew

[IC Khari]

Taj Smith ... world class idiot ...

[do or die]

When you have a beat up team.....the deal is to beat down on them....

[Bomber_fanaddict]

Sounds like just another excuse Rider Fans can use when we beat them

And every week there's someone posting about how everyone isn't pissing rainbows.

 

That said, the one week I picked Bombers to win in the pick ems they lost.  So I now I pick them to lose out of stubbornness.

I have this irrational fear of believing in this team for this reason

The other receivers were making good catches last week so I don't think it's a big blow for them.

The last few years have really messed up my head with regards to this team. I love this team they're playing so well and look completely different from years past... but I keep waiting for the **** to hit the fan because that's all we know lately.

I'm slowing gaining faith in them. I actually had some belief that they were going to score on the final drive last week. Winning our next game after the Edmonton debacle helped me a lot.

I had faith last week. A co-worker texted me offering a bet (I already lost a bet to him in the Edmonton loss), with just under 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter when the bombers were down 26-20. I took his bet, even if I was a bit nervous on the last throw when it looked like he threw the ball straight up into the air.

 

Some losses will come at some point, but I say just enjoy the ride, there are way too many people on here who seem to expect or want the bombers to lose (not directed at you or any other individual, just a general observation, the chat room is probably the worst place, the vocal minority playing chicken little waiting for the sky to fall)

 

Just enjoy winning some games, cause we all know it's been a while. ***** when they hit a 5 game losing skid, but for now just enjoy the games.

Here is an article about Taj from the NY Times.  Pretty F'd up life.  8 kids and no mention of a pop.

So what is the actual deal with him missing the game?  Did the team suspend him?  Did the league suspend him?  Is he in jail?  Is he not allowed to leave the city and will still play home games?
