Rod's biggest problem is he thinks he's there to entertain. His job is to provide details and continuity...he's terrible at it because he's more focused on making cutesy comments. When a guy runs for 9 yards and Black says he ran for 5 or 6...or when a player is downed on the 25yd line and Black says he's down at the 15 he is totally crapping the bed re: his job description. If he would leave the colour (entertainment) to the colour guys and stick to what he should be doing he might not drive people nuts. Matt is a good counterpunch to Black but I still like how Forde takes subtle shots at him...like when GSP was in the booth and Forde offered up Black for an ass kicking. That stuff is gold.

I've always had nothing more than a grudging acceptance of Suitor but this year I've developed a full on dislike of his nonsense. What a surprise that not once during yesterday's Ed/Cal game did he mention the arse whuppin' The Blue laid on the Gappers. Had the situation been reversed there's no way he wouldn't have found the time to reflect on and congratulate a Sask win.

Brilliant. Mind if I steal this to troll some Gappers on Reddit?

A snake from Narcisse...or some meth...either/or

Over a decade broadcasting in Mb alone ..where do I sign up?

to be fair I don't think that's what NS was describing, either. He was suggesting that Strev will hopefully come out and put the team on his back early...just like he ended the last game...which, imo, is not an entirely inaccurate description

ATM machine

For my money they can get rid of live mic games and replace them with mics in the command centre so we can hear the process they go through when reviewing calls or deciding whether to make use of the "eye in the sky"

I understand what you're saying...my concern tho is the not-uncommon confirmed instances of cross contamination among supplements. I am in no way an expert on supplements or steroids. Have never taken either ...however...since we know that contamination does happen and is not rare...and we know that in this case the amount detected is not even in the range where it would be at all beneficial...and the player in question has never tested positive prior even having been tested more than most other players...then maybe the evidence should be slightly more substantial to forever place an asterisk next to a player's name. But zero tolerance policies give us no room to consider things like intent which, imo, is not in the spirit of justice. To me this is like a person being accused of rape with the only evidence being a security cam frame of an arm around an alleged victim. There is evidence of an association but none for intent to violate a law. In a case like Harris' an association is all that's needed to confirm guilt. The Jeffery Dahmers of the world aside...it's the reason I can't support a death penalty. That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, Benjamn Franklin

"There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute"

Did I not see in the broadcast that capacity was 10,000 and they sold 10,125?

I don't know what his gripe is...in that scrum the refs didn't flag anyone til a ref got pushed. That's blatant and will get called every time...as should the RTP which could just as easily been called spearing. You can't lead with your lid like that especially on a player that is not in any position to protect himself. I still don't understand how they didn't initiate concussion protocols when Strevs got his bell rung. Granted he was able to continue and it worked out well for us...but wow...he looked completely looped when he got up.

German/Irish...I have this overwhelming desire to take over the world but I'm too busy getting pished to do anything about it. You, on the other hand, can be forgiven for your aggressive tendencies...we know it's simply an adverse reaction to putting too much basil in the ratatouille

Ahhh...I love it when a set-up goes as planned

FIFY Besides...ahem...Rod started it.

I did but I think I got away with it. Ok...so that's a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering and four Colditz salads?

Every time I see him in a game now I can't help but think of that scene with Nick Nolte in North Dallas 40 where he talks about how broken and beat up his body is.

Time to start hanging flags out of the QBs pockets?

He showed it tonight when he tackled the guy he gave up the int to. He didn't just hang his head and forget about the play...he went after the guy and laid a lick on him. Not quite sure he's ready to lead but it looks like he's going to get the chance to make his case

Started the celebration a bit early/prematurely, I guess. Regina Police said they received a call for a report of a suspicious vehicle around 2 a.m. on Oct.11, two days before the Saskatchewan Roughriders played against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A truck was running on the side of the road in the area of Ring Road and North Albert Street Overpass with a man behind the wheel who was not responding to police. https://www.cjme.com/2018/10/16/riders-charleston-hughes-charged-with-impaired-driving/

Agreed. Much like his comments after being booed. Frankly I think booing your starter is self defeating but fans have paid their money and if they want to boo there's not much you can do about it. Having said that...complaining about the booing is also self defeating because if your play doesn't improve you're only opening yourself up to more of the same. His unwillingness to take responsibility for his poor performances didn't help matters. I just think he's been overly emotional this year...and not in a good way.

For the same reason the coaching staff will be looking at the negatives of that game and trying to improve on them. Granted, you want to look at the positives, as well, so you can hopefully recreate them but to ignore the negatives is not a recipe for success. I bet if you asked Bighill if there was anything he could improve on from his performance he'd be able to point out at least a couple of things he could have done even better. Doesn't mean he doesn't think he played well.

I give credit to Nichols for limiting the mistakes he was making in the 4 game skid. He's making smarter decisions in the pocket for sure. But in regards to the Sask game he had one completed pass for positive yards in the entire first quarter that amounted for almost half his total in the game. In the next two quarters he put up a grand total of 84 yards. For a team looking to make a run at the playoffs that should be at least somewhat worrying, no?

So because I can look at the team and it's players objectively I won't be welcome here? Frankly I think that says much more about you than it does about me. A poster above, in a reply to me, said "Nichols sucks". I never said anything similar but I don't see you commenting on that. Or is there a post count one must achieve before stating one's opinion on a player? I think Nichols has peaked and has not been a great QB this year and his numbers reflect that. If you want to discuss that, fine...if, instead, you want to focus on me then I refuse to take the bait. Cheers,
