Honestly, I really wish 3DownNation would pursue other options for Bomber coverage. Hodge is terrible and has only gotten worse.

I never knew we had so many doctors on MBB!

Hey.... nice stadium... Every Cool Person: " Alex, we'll take CFL Odds and Sods for $1000" Alex: "In 2017, Which CFL team had the first ever victory in the new Mosaic stadium?" Every Cool Person: " Who are, The Winnipeg Blue Bombers."

If Ekakatie has to be cut to keep a spot for a guy who is actually contributing, so be it. I don't want to lose a Augustine, Branning, Petermann etc just because Ekakatie was first overall and they were undrafted or a later pick.

He's also incredibly trigger-happy on stuff which drives me nuts. Also likes to "as I first reported" or "as I said moons ago" way too much for a guy who is usually wrong.

According to John Hodge and his source, the injury is "bad". So chances are Nichols starts against Edmonton. 😁 (I don't think much of Hodge and his insights)

I was at practise. He was being helped but it looked to me like his walking wasn't too bad. I'm hopeful!

I wouldn't trade anything for anyone period...there's nobody out there with any upside greater than what we have in house....and really so what about no cfl game experience....I guess you will get it on the fly and rely on your coaches and talent around you and don't try and be a hero....season is far from lost if Nichols is down for significant time...or all year. We are strong everywhere else this year it appears, and we just need our QB to manage the game...worst case I see it...we battle for the crossover.... Also if a tear...and depending on the severity...you could still conceivably play with a brace..been done too many times to mention...

Hell no to Bridge....he couldn't run an offence like we have...he's just a duck and chucker...I'd rather go with Strevler....let him learn rial by fire..sometimes thats the best way to do it

It's only seen as anti american cause it's black people. Lot of racist people still in the world. Let's be honest, kneeling during an anthem is a completely legit for of protest. It's not unpatriotic, it's using a forum that is available to try and get people thinking about an issue that matters to you. The US is so completely ****** right now because the political climate is such that there is no nuance. It's either with us or against us and god help anyone who is against us.....

If you are looking here for objectivity when it comes to the Riders, you are going to be disappointed. If the Riders win the Grey Cup 10 years in a row, most of us will still believe they suck and mock them for every small misstep along the way. It is known.

YEAH LOSE the Adams talk..we have better already here

what fun is that?

Can we wait before freaking out?

Hopefully we don’t add any QB we already know is bad. As is the case for literally every FA QB around right now. If it’s bad, may as well give Streveler the first shot. He is in an excellent position to still succeed.

Not necessarily true. When Jordy Nelson tore his ACL in the pre-season against the Steelers two years ago he jogged off the field without assistance. I'm not saying it is or isn't an ACL - Just that you can't reasonably conclude one way or another based on how a player leaves the field.

Where is SamCanadian when you need him

No racist is a self described racist, most of them actually don't think they are racist at all, just "telling it like it is". But if it says and does racist **** then it's probably a racist.

Nah. Its Racism for sure. Are you Canadian? If so, please leave Canada. Cuz im seriously getting dumber reading your complete BS.

All the Zebra mussels you can eat!

to get game reps...and actually play... We could conceivably have Demski and Simonese or Woli starting with the other as a back-up as well as possibly Augustint/Lafrance/Pierre all on roster as Canadian depth..If push came to shove you could always push Harris out to a receiever role if one of starters get hrt and have Augustine or Lafrance in backfield as an in game adjustment. Also I really liked what i seen of Pierre...has nice hands..strong and fast and would play a similar role as what Watson did...and Pierre too would excell on ST's

When you're not having to budget for soap, toothpaste or dental insurance, money can add up,

Nope, still an embarrassment to the league.

In a word... I

LMFAO. What the **** are they smoking in that province??? Potash mixed with locks of Chris Jones' hair???

Even without Nichols, this team is better than BC, Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa and arguably Saskatchewan.

Good old Rider fans lol

LOL, Trump staff are just as stupid as he is. Good God.

a few of on this site are more of an insider than him to be honest

Does anyone know how far cloning technology has come in the past few years?

Trainers and therapist can do a test on the filed to pretty much determine if its an ACL tear...Even a partial tear for the most part. And if it was either of those..especially a partial tear they would not have allowed him to walk off the field and risk more damage...

On the other hand if it was super serious, wouldn't they bring out the cart?

Ekakitie for Bridge...

Anyway, for a little something totally unrelated to the discussion, I just wanted to celebrate the racial harmony of Donald Trump. - Trump’s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans in the 1970s and gave preferential treatment to whites, according to the federal government. - Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, according to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.” - In 1989, Trump took out ads in New York newspapers urging the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a white woman in Central Park; he argued they were guilty as late as October 2016, more than 10 years after DNA evidence had exonerated them. - He began his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech disparaging Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapists.” - In December 2015, Trump called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” including refusing to readmit Muslim-American citizens who were outside of the country at the time. - He spent years suggesting that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Kenya, a lie that Trump still has not acknowledged as such. - He is quick to highlight crimes committed by dark-skinned people, sometimes exaggerating or lying about them (such as a claim about growing crime from “radical Islamic terror” in Britain). He is very slow to decry hate crimes committed by whites against dark-skinned people (such as the killing of an Indian man in Kansas last year). - He frequently criticizes prominent African-Americans for being unpatriotic, ungrateful and disrespectful. - He called Puerto Ricans who criticized his administration’s response to Hurricane Maria “politically motivated ingrates.” - He has retweeted white nationalists without apology. - After David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed him, Trump was reluctant to disavow Duke even when asked directly on television. - Trump endorsed and campaigned for Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate who spoke positively about slavery and who called for an African-American Muslim member of Congress not to be seated because of his religion. - Trump pardoned – and fulsomely praises – Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff sanctioned for racially profiling Latinos and for keeping immigrants in brutal prison conditions. - In a 1993 radio interview, he suggested that Native Americans in Connecticut were faking their ancestry. “I think I might have more Indian blood than a lot of the so-called Indians that are trying to open up the reservations.” - In a November 2017 meeting with Navajo veterans of World War II, Trump mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.” - In a White House meeting with a Korean-American intelligence analyst briefing him on Pakistan, Trump wondered aloud why she was not working on North Korea policy. - Trump once referred to a Hispanic Miss Universe as “Miss Housekeeping.” - At a June 2016 campaign rally, Trump pointed to one attendee and said: “Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him.”

Seriously dude- he's trolling you HARD. Expend as little energy as possible and just meme him.

Well, tell you this much... This debate the last few pages seems to be based on BS Lies and someone being a racist A hole.

I have said all along I have liked this signing...He is a complete back and can do all 3 major things required...and he runs hard...not sure what's not to like about him. To be honest having him as a depth guy/ST player who can come in and contribute on offence makes more sense than a John Rush really

Why trade for a player who seems likely to get cut? That's poor management.

I'd we do cut Faith I have no doubts the riders will grab him asap. That team is pretty desperate for canadians.

Riders........paper...mirrors...local media hype.. and lack of depth...last year had a lucky run to get record they did...this year the real team will emerge and depth will kill them...as will hanging hat on a damaged QB. I bet they will be battling for a playoff cross over spot again with BC

Big talk considering the Riders record against the Bombers lately.

Here is some help, Donald. God bless America, land that I love, Stand on top of her, and guide her, Through the night with fake news from above. From the Resort to the Golf course, To the rallies, white with foam, God bless America, My home sweet home.

The authority on patriotism.

They are.

We just cannot lose Faith at this time of the season. We might need a Faith lift.

I do agree with that, but I dont have any data to put the coaching salaries into perspective. For all I know thats double what every team spends. In all likelihood it is a bit low. 11 coaches, 1 HC, 1 CO for O and D, 1 for STs, that leaves 7 spots for positional coaching. Qb, ol, DL, lbers, dbs, wr, and rb. Some teams will have WR/rb, or qb/wr, lb/de etc. So the number of spots makes sense. The average is a shade under 100k. Im sure Hcs, and high profile oc/dc / assistant HCs will make much larger chunks then that. But it seems like a good starting place. Is it strange? yes no doubt. We cant really compare to other sports. The cfl just doesnt fit the mold of other teams. What I expect this will mean is every team will use more cis types at a cheaper salary to fill out some positional/depth spots. If you want to point fingers, look at the coaching staff/management that has spent like drunken sailors, broken abused and battered countless rules and brought this about.

the only people who can look at Trump and not hate him and what he stands for are people who are in no way shape or form impartial. If any other president did the **** this guy is doing there would be rioting in the streets. Can you imagine if Obama had had said even half the **** Trump as said?

As you can see here. The receiver is already turned back to the ball and had been slowing down and Clarke was still 3 yards behind him. Check out the 3:15 mark here.. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/06/02/highlights-edm-13-wpg-33/

Guys released were great finds by Murphy. Now they suck. Guys just signed are great finds by Murphy. Keep on being awesome Rider brain trust.
