Lawrence did a "crime" and he needs to pay the time. Plain and simple. The CFLPA shouldn't defend him for this. They should guide him in the right direction so he can improve himself and his play in the future and that is the help they need to give him not reducing his penalty for a "crime" he committed and deserves to pay for. The PA needs to think out of the box on what standing up for their members means. Supporting Lawrence in a program to better himself and his play on the field is standing up for their member so he can have a longer and more positive impact on the game. That is looking out for player safety at the same time. What the hell is reducing his penalty going to do to help the player other than in his wallet? How is getting his penalty reduced improving player safety? Get your head out of Simonies a$$ CFLPA. 

Just look for the fancy mural.   Was in that place many, many moons ago, one nite......assume there have been improvements made since then......

The New Occidental Hotel is in a hot spot for action and has some character! I guess it all depends what your taste is though. 😜

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT....😜

Demski is way too involved in the downfield passing component of our offense for my liking.  I’d be giving Wolitarsky far more reps in the slot.

My vote goes to Demski. I wish he was more consistent. I feel like there is a good chance of a turnover every time the ball goes his way. 😟

relax it's a joke, not to mention we like to nitpick especially after a win.

I'm not sure exactly what you are meaning by scapegoat? 
Football is definitely a team game (i.e., win as a team, lose as a team) but sometimes focus on an individual player is warranted win, lose or draw.  Yes sometimes people can get an unhealthy uninformed hate on for a specific player (s) that can be unwarranted but other times it may be valid feedback/observation that is misconstrued as being a hater. In some cases it's probably not as black and white to understand which scenario is happening when it comes to being critical of a specific player. 

Sense of humor, get one.

Scapegoat update after game 1:
Nichols - Low yardage, high QB rating, and showed nice touch on a couple of long passes. But the best part of his game was his escapability in the red zone. Looks like the knee problems from last year are not a factor, and his scrambling led to the Adams and Wolitarsky (#2) TDs. Will always be on the list due to the nature of the position, but slides down the depth chart with a solid game (management).
Hecht - Another serving of crow, anyone? Even if you take away the 2 INTs, his chicken dance to Duron Carter should remove him from any scapegoat consideration for a while.
Demski - Fairly uninvolved game for one of our key Canadian offensive weapons. And ball security reared its ugly head again with a fumble that luckily rolled out of bounds. But wins gloss over many flaws, so he is off the hook for now.
Couture - Some good protection, but even better run blocking from the interior of the line. Whole o-line is in the good books for now.
Wilson - 3 tackles, no glaring mistakes, only the injury seems notable from this game for him, although I wasn't tracking him specifically to make a full analysis.
Any new candidates? Fenner got beaten badly on a TD pass, but redeemed himself immediately with the blocked convert return.. Cover teams may need some work, not sure who missed their assignment on the kick return TD. Whitehead did very little offensively to show off his speed and was not out on the return team.

GOD DAMN IT!
NICHOLS NO GOOD.
 
******* GARBAGE!
WHAT A HAM AND EGGER

I can't stop laughing at Booch's "Powell will be worn down to a useless nub" comment....

I never cared about NFL Ball until I joined a Fantasy Football league and now I love NFL Ball. I am a huge Football fan in both the CFL and NFL varieties! I love when I can watch football Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday! It took me one season to be familiar with the teams and players and the product on the field is great in both leagues. I would rather watch any football CFL or NFL over any other sport including hockey. To the people who say one is better than the other, I agree. They are both better than all the others lol! 

Don't forget the Goldeye's,  Oakland Raiders and Greenbay Packers who play in Winnipeg too.....

Now that you guys are done hugging, can we get back to telling Ripper how much the Riders suck and how Riders fans suck even more etc, sister wives etc etc. and banjo picking etc etc and other inbred type stuff?
