Why are player injuries personal? I've never understood this. Sports is a business & athletes are public figures. They accept this when they agree to play professionally. It's part of the job description. If a guy has a knee injury & he's out for 8 weeks, he's out for 8 weeks. If a player has a dislocated hip & is gone for the season then so be it. A separated shoulder & out for 6 weeks then he's out for 6 weeks. To me, it's nothing to do with protecting anyone or keeping injuries personal. Instead, it's teams not wanting to give away an advantage to opponents regading length of injury recoveries so it's kept a secret. With sports betting, teams should be announcing the kind of injuries players have & how long they're expected to be out of the lineup. Millions of dollars are being dropped every week. Protecting players is way down the list. Injuries shouldn't be kept a secret anymore.

Well, all's well & good but if you subscribe to the "Next Man Up" then injuries are just an excuse.

Or the Kennedys in Hyannisport.

The salary cap goes up $100.000 next season. The bar was raised on receivers thanks to Edmonton signing Lawler so Schoen will get north of $200,000 to sign here. Worth every penny.

I wish the Bombers would tell us about Ellingson.

Beaten us a thousand times? Lol,

What makes him think he'll get a legit third shot?? Brandon Zylstra lit this league up for 2 seasons before heading south where he's been sitting on the PR of various NFL teams.

I hope the Bombers use the Bo quote from this story as locker room motivation before their game in a few weeks at IG Field. Then as toilet paper after they beat the Stamps for a third time. Mitchell says that he expects the Stamps to improve as the season goes on. What and we won't?? That we won't get our injured guys back??? https://3downnation.com/2022/07/30/ive-beat-that-team-a-thousand-times-ill-see-them-in-the-playoffs-bo-levi-mitchell-defiant-after-stampeders-loss-to-bombers/?fbclid=IwAR0ploA1fYefzQ2AuYgEe14AP9Zz7LER4JLKMyJc3ovVyvr3WXp9f4kdJeA

Schoen had an NFL look once before, I believe.

I want to win every game. The better schedule starts after our break in mid August Week 11. Freaking Week 11??? Like WTH, CFL??? Get your damned act together with the schedule maker. Not only is it unfair. It's insane.

As in, tweets,,,

I wouldn't want my star player who is the face of the team to be so depressed that he wants nothing more than to climb into a hole & cover himself up for a week. Somehow, I can't see a real team leader doing that. Fajardo should be pissed about his knee injury but still excited to play the next game. I get the sense he wants out & to do something else. I agree with your description of him having a hero complex. Not good if you're a Rider fan.

Bad for the league in terms of making the Lions a more dangerous team. He's talking on the field as well as wins & losses. What else do you think SDN was referring to? Good Lord. Everybody but you knows exactly what SDN meant.

Wally dumped veteran players because he didn't want to pay them. Not because of their so called, "Best Before Date". He was a cheap bastard. If he could find what he thought was a cheaper alternative to a higher paid veteran which were younger players then he'd do that. He cut Allen Pitts to sign Travis Moore. Pitts was so upset that a man who said Pitts was, "Like a son to him" would treat him so badly. Even 20 years later with Wally long gone, first to BC & then retirement, still Pitts wants nothing to do with the Stamps. Then, two years later, he lost Moore to the Riders because they offered him $5,000 more per season. Moore even talked to Wally saying he'd sign with the Stamps if he matched the Riders offer & Buono refused. So, Moore went to the Riders & played very well. There's a long list of disgruntled players he did that to who played with the Stamps & Lions when he was Head Coach & GM of those teams.

He says that every game so I take it with a grain of salt. He's on Twitter. I've talked with him a few rimes. He's engaging & respectful. Just trying to increase his followers.

Yep, that's how we got Bryant. That's the route I think Walters will go.

What do you think of Fajardo anxious to blow town (Regina), stay off social media saying that he won't even think of his team & the CFL during his bye week? Too negative? Sounds like a player who should consider retirement. What's your take?

You tell 'em!!! Way to go!!

If he does retire then his replcement is probably playing on another team right now.

If he's playing well why would he retire?

Hey WBBFanWest:

Rourke can move around & I think he has a quicker release than Reilly. The rook makes the BC OL look better than it really is. And Rourke's 12 or 13 years younger. He wasn't a beat up qb like Reilly was. He was an old 35. Just like Fajardo is an old 30. Fajardo telling Rider Nation he's getting outta town & to buzz off.

Dave Ritchie lost that game for us by Thursday of Grey Cup week. He let his players act like asshat braggers all week. As a fan, it pissed me off. I knew this was a bad thing & he did nothing to stop it. Mike O'Shea, Cal Murphy & Bud Grant would never let that happen. All it did was fire up the Stamps. They deserved to lose. Just STFU & play the game.

This league, I tell ya...

Tongue in cheek???
