oh, also of note, I was able to use #DirtyFourStripers recently......so thankful for that.

This is what the NFL Draft will look like this year. Can't wait to see it. No more Roger Goodell hugging the players. No more Deion Sanders thinking HE is the reason the NFL has a draft. No more glitz. No more glitter. No more screaming crowds. It's gonna be great. Just football. The CFL Draft is just a bit above this picture now. Certainly no glitz & glitter. CFL never has crowds. No Commissioner hugging players but he is going to give out free scarves. 

It would suck for sure. But we should prepare ourselves for it so it wouldn't be as devastating if it did happen. 

This has been going on for a long time. About 10 years ago, my son's high school receiver here in Calgary who went on to junior football with the Calgary Colts practiced everyday with the Stamps as part of a development program they had at the time. He'd go to Stamps practice in the morning & then to Colts at night. that isn't being done anymore. He told my son back then that just about all the Stamps receivers he practiced with smoked weed & weren't concerned about being tested at all.  I think a majority of players smoke weed now. So, makes no sense to test them. 

I'm not watching hockey in July 

Just trust me on this.... Chris Cuthbert is the best sports broadcaster in Canada. He's the best hockey PBP in the world. 

God willing Pierce avoids the old Lapo turtle plan with a lead and we can get some wins that are easier on the old heart (and liver as the sphincter clenching tight games lead to much more beer consumption)

They have short walls to go with their short buses.

Relax.  We're just having a little fun. You don't have to click on it. 

Which was mentioned before by myself and others that the Offence with Lapo as the O/C was a group collective thing, with a Lapo philosophy/mindset, so a Pierce as OC shouldn't be fraught with growing pains as all the guys are back (sans lapo) and we added the Calgary assistant who I bet adds something different for our attack...I see no issues here at all and with the Lapo departure I think he takes his passive/predictable approach with him, and our offence is all of a sudden dynamic, and unpredictable

Tough crowd here this morning

I read what he said and it has little to nothing to do with removing a point for a ball that's kicked through the end zone without being touched. It's just an excuse to bring up the 13th man penalty again because the Riders live rent free in a lot of Bomber fans heads.

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

Well it all started the other day when this was brought into the thread and I stated my opinion. Scary I know. When people question, I’ll defend it and so on and so on. You dont have to like it or agree with it, but don’t go projecting your view on something because someone said something you disagree with. It’s a thread made for discussion, just gotta deal with it sometimes.

She might be spending more than I do while we're home....she is some kinda excited. We're having "discussions" about possibly buying seasons tickets even though we live south of Red Deer, AB..... just to support the team, because we can. And get a discount on merch and stuff. We'll see...at any rate, my point is more that she's as much in on this as me. Ha ha. It's all well and good till I see that she's enjoying those Adam Bighill workout videos on Insta a little too much......

Just remember all cash pays. Wife ain't gots to have a paper trail. 
Speculation is better than a paper trail. All receipts are right in the trash. 
 

Came here again hoping for good news. No news. 
 

I guess we need to wait and see but I can't believe we'd be any more timid throwing the ball than we were when Lapo was here. Now that Lapo is gone I think it bodes well for the likes of Adams, Demski, Lawler, Whitehead, etc. I also think #33 will fare a lot better and be a fresher, more effective player when everyone in the house doesn't know when he is getting the ball. 

not sure I like your tone, suggesting adversity.....

That's a beautiful jacket

Guys, I don’t mean to defend a Rider fan here, but his response about Collaros being done etc was a direct response to someone else saying Labatte is done and citing very similar reasons as to why someone *could* say Collaros is done. He literally used the same text but replaced Labatte with Collaros to make a point. It was meant to be facetious, from what I could tell. Best to read it in context. 
 

Collaros is 31 and just won himself a Grey Cup.

Enjoy living in your alternate universe where that never happened. 

First banner in 3 decades, season ticket holder for 39 years and wouldn't you know I will miss this game.

Collaros is done, he played in 5 games last year. What are you guys going to do when he goes down? 

Streveler sighting!
