Changing the Rouge is probably trendy......and pointless.

I think that at random times during the game, the Bombers should just be rewarded with a point for sheer awesomeness. Said point to be deducted from the Riders, regardless who they are playing, due to the fact that they suck.

Man I'm gonna miss that kid! What an energy he brought to the team.

It's a fundamental part of Canadian Football. It's not a minor rule change. What I don't get are CFL or Canadian Football fans who want to rip something like the XFL to shreds but then also want to bastardize the sport into that shitty game. The XFL has done everything they can to remove special teams and predictably the product is mediocre. Special teams is a huge part of the sport. The American game is moving further and further away from that fundamental piece and suffering for it. Why would we want to entertain doing the same?

You're an idiot.

Jamie Nye has an article on the CFL site in favour of removing the Rogue. I am proud to stand on the opposite side.

"thats Facts"

I like this video. A lot. This was a great ******* day.

Why are you showing Speedflex27 that picture of Noeller?

yeah you gotta do what you gotta do to get the butt's in the seats...once there you need to give em a reason to come back..kudos to B.C for looking at all angles

Much better effort by BC to get fans interested

I'll go you one better. Without the rouge, Saskatchewan does not put a returner in the end zone in the Grey Cup against Montreal, and then their 12 on the line to block the kick is legal, and we are deprived of the greatest bonehead penalty in sports history that snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Anyone want to dump the rouge now?

I'd be fine with the idea a point is only awarded if team is able to field it...would eliminate a team winning on a miss in a tie game...or just punting it through end zone

In a big game the panic and excitement to get ball out of endzone to avoid the one point loss is reason enough to keep it.

Why does the bits someone has between their legs and their choice of gender identity matter one iota to you? That's the only ideology here. Their life their choices who the **** cares? It's not that progressives have cornered the market on logic, it's that regressives have completely rejected it.

Ignorance and small mindedness. The hallmarks of trump supporters. Terrified of the world moving forward.

Doing anything with the rouge doesnt improve the game. It's just change, for change sake. Which is almost always a bad idea.

Absolutely. If you can't kick a 5 yard FG, you don't deserve any points.

They don't need to drill, Papa Kenney already gave them their profits from the tax payers and they're leaving for greener pastures. Every ******* thing Kenney has done has been a disaster for the province and the hits are just going to keep on coming.

Seeking asylum is legal immigration process but that didn't stop ICE from throwing them in detention centres.

Creating suspended natural areas that will be quickly destroyed by AB. red-necks driving their trucks, motor-cycles, ATV's and snow-machines throughout. Once decimated these areas will be declared "eye-sores" and sold off to private, well connected political supporters, who will keep them for their own use or commercialize them. That's the plan anyway.

Well that ends that and this boring debate.

HILLARY!! Glug, glug, glug......

So if it's a mental state then let everyone be whatever they want to be, again, what's the difference? If someone makes that choice why are you trying to protect them from their own possible regret? Isn't it more harmful to deny the people who it would benefit that option? And I must have missed where we started talking about puberty blockers on children... sounds like patented regressive deflection bringing up scary sounding topics that aren't really relevant to the discussion at hand.

Yeah me to that's the rule for kickoffs if it goes through the endzone its not a point but if its fielded in the endzone its a point.

This is why we need the rouge:

He's seemingly trolling and exposing some very...ahem, unflattering personal opinions that most places wouldn't tolerate.

Yeah, I don't think anyone on here buys that crap. You are cherrypicking the absolute extreme and holding that standard to all progressives...

People fighting for gender and racial equality is a fad now...? Cool. Feel free to go play in traffic.

But Notley!!!! that socialist pig will bankrupt... ah nevermind...

And racism. The idea of "enforcing immigration law" is just a political way of being an open racist. Facts no longer matter. Its funny, cause I think back to all the conspiracy theories about W. and it was laughable, but now...if Trump wins, it could get very very bad. History tells us what can happen but people wont believe it can happen here.

And they're proud of it. They don't like facts that disagree with their beliefs, so they reject evidence and science to worship their leader. Trump made it okay to be a moron and they spew their stupidity everywhere. I mean, surely there's evidence of this widespread illegal immigrant voting now, right? Just one example of Alt-right stupidity campaign that we see here, never mind elsewhere.

Morons love the Moron-In-Chief. I wish we didn't share the same space as them.

So, you get the ball on your own 5 yard line. You drive 100 yards and on 3rd down your placekicker attempts a FG. He misses right for some reason and the ball goes through the end zone. You get nothing at all for driving 100 yards? Not even a single point?

Please let us sign someone so we stop discussing whether a field goal is a ‘failure’...

for a lot of those bad years, no matter how badly we were getting crushed, there was always hope when Jovon returned a punt. Guy sparked so many rallies over the years. had a huge role in the Casey Printers retirement game .. played out of his mind during that brief hopeful three game win streak of 2009 .. along with guys like Terrance Edwards he was one of the very few reasons to watch the Bombers for a long stretch. Thanks for your time as a bomber, Mr. Johnson and all the best for your next act.

I worked an awful lot of overtime since January 1. I told everyone who paid me that they could just make the cheque out to Mr Miller, but whatever...I'll take the circuitous route

$375........ ai yi yi. Giant no thanks...... I'm coming home in a couple weeks and will definitely be spending a schwack of cash at the Bombers Store, but that's just crazy.

I have no such fear, really looking forward to their take on modern times, hopefully they don't just regurgitate their past success like Monty Python chose to. Such a pitiful output for their immense talent, mostly caused by their failure to find consensus on almost any projects for decades, now it's too late.

one more thing, to be stupid serious about this story: I kinda like the life lesson being taught here. while it's always super cute to see giant scary wrestling celebrities be gentle and kind to their young fans, I like how MJF's consistent assholery teaches the lesson that there are assholes in the universe and they remain assholes regardless of how tiny and cute and harmless and deferential you are. that's something kids need to understand.

there's an adorable video tweet out there of a little girl getting an autographed MJF headshot as a holiday gift. It says "I'm better than you!" on it, like MJF does. "Happy Hanuukah, you ******," she says on the video. All of wrestling twitter was cheering her on.

You forgot..... immature unstable megalomaniac narcissist . Cmon. Be Best.

If its Biden, we'll learn quickly what kind of person Bernie is. Anything but a full throated endorsement and support would make true everything people say about him. Im optimistic.

I really believe it could be for the best. Like a calming, familiar, presence to repair the country after Trump (not to mention a lot of investigations are going to be conducted into his admin)...I see Biden as a one term pres obviously. He ushers in a more progressive era. Slow and steady. A slow turn to the left rather than an immediate sharp jerk to the left. With Sanders & Warren, there are very strong progressive influences. Plus several younger "rock star" type Democrats. Its the way their going. But the moderates are important too.

It's the default argument of "progressives". Every. Single. Time.

So, instead of a discussion about Warren, this thread gets derailed yet again. Bleh. I'm curious where her supporters will go. Some are closer to Sanders in terms of belief's, but I'd think there is a strong urge to just get Biden and be done, as that seems inevitable. Course the same could have been said years ago with Clinton, and we see how that worked out.

There is a lot of space between "everyone" and "you".

The rogue is one of the most Canadian things about the CFL and adds an element of strategy not seen in any other football league. That's not something I ever want to see removed.

We must never mess with the 'Rouge' - it may serve no real purpose but most importantly it is not American and it confuses the **** out of Americans... therefore it is critically important to the Canadian game.

If Edmonton Eskimos president Chris Presson gets his way there could be a new wrinkle to the CFL on TSN broadcasts this season. If you’ve watched any of the XFL games, or an AAF game last season before they folded, odds are you’ve noticed those leagues have handled video replay differently from a broadcast perspective. Unlike the current set up for the CFL and NFL where broadcasts generally go to commercial breaks, in the XFL you can hear the conversation between the official on the field and the video replay official. In Presson’s mind, giving the viewers the chance to hear the conversation brings a breath of honesty to video review. Presson can push for change because he’s a part of the CFL’s innovation committee, the same group that’s looking at potentially changing the CFL playoff format. https://3downnation.com/2020/02/29/eskimos-president-chris-presson-in-favour-of-xfl-style-video-replay/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I think the CFL could try this..at least in pre-season.
