  1. I saw the posts on X. The hockey reporter who posted that out of respect to the Gaudreau family should have waited until the story is confirmed.
  2. What a bunch of entitled & self indulgent pricks in BC. They're just laughing at the rest of the league.
  3. Betts can't stop the outside run. He doesn't turn the play back inside. He can only pass rush.
  4. Like Farhan with the Lions. Cheat. So, according to lalji, teams that spend to the cap but not beyond are not committed to winning??? What a bunch of BS. The salary cap should be blown up.
  5. Als beat writer Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette is all over the CFL on X for their horrible treatment of poor, poor Sean saying his suspension is worse than Kelly's & that the CFL is a hpocite. These are two completely different situations so I'm not going to debate the merits of both suspensions so don't even try. Especially since it wasn't my decision to suspend either player. Zurkowsky is a homer. I will say that Lemon was a veteran player who knew better but thought he'd never get caught. The NBA & MLB have given long suspensions to their players. i also believe that an Ottawa Senator was suspended half a season last year for gambling so certainly the precedent is there for a long suspension for Lemon. I think the suspension will cover Lemon for the rest of his playing days & prevent him from ever seeing his bust in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
  6. For Harris, numbers mean nothing.
  7. Fajardo threw deep successfully a number of times & they weren't jump balls like Lawler has to contend with. Most were right on target hitting his receivers in stride. CoFaj put on quite a show. He made his receivers look good by putting the balls right on the money. Sure, there were throws that the receivers had to adjust to but if Collaros was throwing like that we'd all be singing his praises as a qb. Then there were times he scrambled & made positive yards with his legs. He isn't the same qb who got run out of town on a rail by Rider Nation.
  8. I was reading that Jason Sudekis was open to the iidea of a season 4. The only one who wouldn't return would be the actor who played Jamie Tart as he has moved on to another tv series. Living in England where the series was filmed & away from his family for months at a time is the main reason Sudekis ended Ted Lasso after 3 seasons.
  9. Fajardo looked very, very good tonight. There are a lot of haters on this board but he is playing at a level I have never seen.
  10. Whether we get younger at qb this off season will depend on Buck Pierce, O'Shea & Walters. We can if we want to but I can see O'Shea saying no.
  11. You ncould tell Suitor wanted to gush all over Kelly but had to temper his exuberance because of his sexual harassment charges & 9 game suspension. But we do have some young qbs in the league. I think the talent level has improved, actually from what it was in 2020 or 21.
  12. I think just about every team is handicapped with the guaranteed money at qb. VA in BC, MBT in Edmonton, Maier in Calgary, Harris in Saskatchewan, Kelly in Toronto, Fajardo in Montreal... There'll be some FA qbs available this off season. Mostly backups. With the marketing money available to cover the guaranteed money he'd have to be paid, if the Bombers wanted to release Zach & go after Taylor Powell in Hamilton or the kid in Montreal, Davis Alexander, we probably would have as good a chance as any to sign one of them. The question is, will the Bombers move on with O'Shea & Walters running the show here? It's one thing to pull the plug on Andrew Harris, It's quite another to do the same with Zach Collaros.
  13. They are indeed sweet.
  14. I'm sure the message has come down from above as in CFL Head office, Commissionr, Board of Governors, GMs, fans & media to get it right. I don't like the automatic review of the last 3 minutes of every half on turnovers. Unless it's being challenged by a coach then it shouldn't be automatically reviewed. The CC should stay out of the way & let the teams play. We should only hear from them once a game or none at all.
  15. Credit to the RedBlacks. Their OL is playing really well & giving Brown the time he needs to do his reads. He's been mostly upright this season & not on his back. Timing is everything. He signed with them as a team on the way up. It could have been last year.
  16. No, that's not it. 17to85 summed it up quite well.
  17. I don't hate Rourkei. I hate the media bullshit we have to listen to from guys like Suitor, Naylor & Lalji. Lalji called him a Top 20 qb in North America a week or so ago. Hardly. As viewers, we're force fed this stuff on TSN constantly like we're all supposed to be impressed. So then, because of the hype, fans of other CFL teams enjoy it when he fails. Am I cheering for Rourke simply because he's Canadian? No, why would I? Canadian or not, he's a BC Lion. I want him to fall flat on his face.
  18. Rourke had a good gig going on two years ago with the Lions but he decided his lifelong dream was to play in the NFL. He felt being in the CFL was an unforeseen detour. So, now playing like **** is on him as he decided he wanted the allure of the big money & fame. Now, after being engrossed in NFL playbooks for 2 years it's left him unprepared for the faster & more wide open game of the CFL. He still needs to adjust.
  19. TSN was salivating all over the guy. They totally spoiled the fact he came back from the NFL. All they do is talk, talk, talk about him. Suitor especially just never shuts up... Spoils it for everyone watching & just makes him being hated by fans of other teams.
  20. Everyone saw in a close up how Alexander took the ball away from White. All, except the CC. It's gone from the occasional screw up to at least one bad call a game now. The problem is just getting worse. It can't be enjoyable working under such pressure. Now, more mistakes are being made because of it. If I was a head referee, you couldn't pay me enough to do that job once I retired.
  21. Playing Neufeld is a scary thought. Micah Vanterpool 6'6 315 lbs.
  22. When they look at wins & losses they don't remember which were the great wins & which weren't. A win is a win. However, our OL is in tatters. I don't know if Walters goes out & finds another Guard somewhere.
