Laughs and lectures from a fanbase that supported the signing and employment of Dwight Anderson right up to the last possible moment is, well, frustrating. It's like when your dog barfs and he eats it. You know he's a dog, dogs do that, but it's like, cmon, be better

Whether he did it intentionally or by accident, I'm over it. People make mistakes, intentional or accidental. I've got his back.

Cause **** anyone who isn't one of us. He's our player, we can talk **** about him but no one else.

And this too...

My cat's name is Mittens.

Calling him an OL is being generous Here is his game film against us a couple of weeks ago

The correct term is "pylon".

Just given the reaction of Harris and his team mates and his coaches I'd be inclined to believe it was unintentional. Mistake not being more careful about what he's taking for sure, but to me he owned up to that. In the end I don't really care, steroid use has been an issue in the league for a long time and I don't see that ever changing. Just thump the riders on Sunday with a bunch of backups. That's all I want.

Love watching this vid before any game we play against the green gang.

I get why people are disappointed, I get why other fans and players will take their shots. It is easier to turn your back on the guy, I would rather accept the fact he made a mistake and have his back.

Cuz he should be declining but putting up some career numbers? I would be testing him 4 times a week and thrice on Sundays. I still don't think he was using that classic steroid to cheat and gain an advantage. I would strongly suspect that if he was dosing- it would be with something that would actually help give him an advantage and not that janky 90s ****. I honestly think he unintentionally took something that was tainted and he pissed hot and got flagged... with zero tolerance, it doesn't matter how much or how it got there- you are still going to be penalized. I am good with that. He got flagged, they tested a duplicate sample and that one was flagged too so he gets punished and suspended for 2 games. That sits fine with me. The part I am convinced of is that it was unintentional and he wasn't using the janky 90s roid to gain an advantage- he wasn't cheating. I am good with that. So, do the time, get the data on the levels of the offending substance out into the media make your case, move on and kick some ass.

Well one thing for sure - CFL needs a better social media policy

Please accept my best wishes - some things are more important than sports

I'm sure Santiago is a solid running back. But I don't get why people are so high on him. He has exactly zero carries so far in his career. lol. Augustine has been playing all year, been a part of practices, has time in game. And has shown well when given the opportunity. I'll be blown away if Santiago is starting over Augustine.

It's not all bad, our heavily used star runningback gets a midseason break to rest up his body a bit and he comes back in the key part of the season with something to prove. We can beat the jackass green team without him.

The Bomber family is sending out positive vibes. Please take care.

and the fact he himself is a PED user..and I know as a fact as I know where he gets it...look at him from when he came back from his failed European Basketball attempt..and when he decided to try football...and gained about 25 to 30 pounds in a year or so...physically and biologically impossible..without enhancement products...the putz

I got suspended for 6 days on twitter for calling out Reaves.

I don't get the shots - AH plays a brutal sport to entertain fans - does it well, and puts his heart into it , If you are close to the situation and have knowledge of exact details - ( and those who would be in this situation are supporting him I will add) then only speak up if the truth is being hidden and lies told If you are like the rest of us - something about glass houses and throwing stones comes to mind ( looking straight at you J Reaves )

I don't know if there's a single player in the league, past or present, that you could compare to Andrew Harris as far as what this could do to their reputation. Hometown guy, holds a bunch of records, future hall of famer, embraces being a role model, etc etc. He had absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose from doing steroids

Anyone else notice the lack of passing in the Sellers clip. Freaking LaPolice...

I hope your wife is doing better really soon. Take care.

Anybody else wondering why the CFL tested the same guy twice in 10 days?

What is amazing about this situation is the fandom of the Bombers on MBB (or anywhere) are like... Bomber fan: I'm very disappointed in Andrew Harris. His actions have hurt the team and my respect for him. I'm angry and confused. Visiting fans: Guy's a cheater. No excuse for- Bomber fan: Shut your mouth. Go away. Hey, what about player X on your roster! This happens everywhere, and yes, I have very little patience for smug fans of other teams showing up here waving their own flags. It's just kind of funny to see it play out in real time. I love all my children, even if they disappoint me sometimes.

Yup, roll with Augustine. He runs well, is anxious, and the Riders don’t really know him. Its the perfect time. And it is a way to keep August going on September 1st.

two weeks ago the sky was falling because Nichols sucked one week ago the sky was falling because Nichols was hurt this week the sky is falling because Harris is out 8-2 and this is the worst I’ve seen the forum in years

Well said. But...I still hate you. Soooo...Go to hell....with love of course.

Observations on Santiago from training camp back in May. Atomic- he was brought here by Oliviera, he can run back kicks as well. Had an insane freshman year in 2015 with 1459 rush yards and 16 tds. Geeber- Santiago explosive on returns. I expect him to rip a long one next week. Ran the ball well in drills. - Santiago is a dangerous returner. Better than Whitehead today Booch - ...and that Santiago has real good hands ...and once the ball is in his mitts you don’t know where he going. He super shifty and fast with ball. Me - Santiago made a terrific snag and a deceptive run on a screen play. Thinking with no film on the guy, he might be a real surprise on the bad guys.

Will be interesting to see how the CFLPA handles matters like this moving forward. I mean, Hecht kinda deserves what he's getting. But in the off season all you heard was "CFL brotherhood this, CFL brotherhood that". They all look like a bunch of dummies jumping on one another. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Carter still basking in the glow of his 1 catch for 1 yard, last week.....

Whoa. I don't think he's taking a pot shot at the riders in the quote above. The fact they have a 5 game streak due to sheer luck and a soft schedule despite being devoid of talent... that's a shot at the riders. 😁 Just messing with ya ripper.

Maybe it gives Augustine a chance to show case his skills. He runs and hits like a truck so I wouldnt' be surprised if the guy can move the chains for us. Also it's not like our o-line is crap , they create holes for anyone not named Demski to hit.

This is a great opportunity for Johnny Augustine. For a bunch of reasons, including looking forward to the 2020 season, I hope he steps up and shows.

They can't even guarantee honey sold for mass consumption is 100% pure, little wonder the manufacturers of supplements can sell contaminated products with no regulation, inspection or fear of repercussions. Trusting industry to regulate itself just doesn't work. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/cfia-study-finds-imported-genuine-honey-often-mixed-with-added-sugar-1.4501522

I hope for a full recovery for your wife. All the best to you and her in this difficult time.

Hope your wife is doing ok.

No u wouldn't.. that's the whole purpose of starting an extra Canadian..u just have to maintain where u are designating your starting 7..so if we start 2 on defense and 6 on offense u designate 5 canadians always on offence..2 always on defence and u can sub an import for any Canadian on offence

So do we think that part of Harris not practising last week was cause they knew this was going to be coming and wanted to get the backups some more time with the 1s knowing they'd need them?

Yup..roll with Augustine..he is more than capable.. Riders will still have to respect the play action..or RPO cause if vfc they dont..they still will get burned Be the perfect time now to sub in Grant for Lawler or Matthew's on certain sets.. major motion. 2 fast guys to have to send coverage to cover with motion out of backfield and still have to contend with Strev and whoever the rb will be

This is really sad. The amount Harris tested positive for is useless. He's been tested 3 times in 6 weeks from training camp to July 10. 2 tests no issue, one test with just enough of this steroid to trigger a positive. Most testing organizations would note that slight positive and punish after a second positive. Any benefit from a steroid would take a sustained dose over weeks at minimum that would easily be detected over the span of a couple months. Crazy to me that these guys are punished for one slight positive. Sucks for Harris, now learning a bit more about the CFL protocol for testing I feel really bad for the draft entrants getting screwed over. They shouldn't be getting punished on the first positive at this trace level. The CFLPA has some work to do.

I really really would love to see a Nichols-less Harris-less Bombers beat the Riders in LDC. That would be an epic way to silence all the critics.

We're down our QB1, our WR1, a couple of starting guards, a couple of starting DLs, a starting halfback, and now our MOP tailback. On paper we're doomed, but crazy stuff happens on Labour Day and the Riders will ln coming in fat and happy after dumping Ottawa. We got em right where we want em, go blue.

Darn tootin' Santiago can play.

You tell them Bob!

What happens frequently is the manufacturing companies make legal supplements, and also various PEDs. They use the same machinery and the machines dont get cleaned and switched over well in the switch from one to another. Frequently changes are made and substitutes are used. From supply limitations to cost changes. Because they arent tested or held to any standard, they dont need to waste bottles and boxes and order new stuff with updated labels. This happens A LOT. On the more nefarious side, some companies will copy other more successful companies ingredient lists with out ever using that combination or even any thing close to it. Supplements are an extremely shady industry. The companies all chase the dollar and have them manufactured in the lowest cost areas possible. With that you get these types of issues. The amount of tainted positive tests proven in just MMA in the last 2 years is insane.

And we're STILL better then the riders.

**** it, he’s innocent!

Orange Lord just finished taking his carny show to the G7 The agenda included an emergency meeting to address the blazing fires threatening the Amazon rain forest, inflation and sagging development in Africa, addressing the spread of human rights abroad, and discussing an international strategy to combat climate change. Lets see how that went: Trump claimed that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged to buy “all of that corn" left in American silos due to the trade war. Within minutes, the Japanese government issued a statement clarifying that an agreement had not even been drafted, much less confirmed. At the emergency meeting to discuss how to bring the raging Amazon rain forest fires under control, Trump didn't show, but spent the morning instead..... tweeting at the hosts of various Fox News programs. When approached about his absence, The Don set the record straight - "I think I know more about the environment than most people" He did spend plenty of time, bashing the media, and claimed that he and the other world leaders spent the day laughing at how "knowingly inaccurate" the American reporting of events is. In the interest of fairness, there was no evidence that he attempted to sell anyone real estate. Although Trump did suggest that the next G7 be held at his Doral golf resort in Miami, Fla., calling it a “natural” location because of its proximity to an airport. Trump said he would "certainly" invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend next year's Group of Seven (G-7) summit when it's hosted by the United States. Trump also claimed that multiple other G-7 attendees signalled they would support readmitting Russia to the group. But he did not provide any names or specific accounts, and other world leaders have said Russia rejoining would be contingent on deescalating its involvement in Ukraine. Diplomacy, Statesmanship and moral leadership at its finest - if one can drink enough.
