JWL is an odd situation contract wise Because he appealed - had signed just before the out clause was reinstated- ( I'm using incorrect terms, I know ) League and team released him from final year of contract for NFL opportunity, but Riders retained his CFL rights I don't fully understand it, but pretty sure that the gist is correct

It's all relative - like a Winnipeg wedding party😁

We were rural Sask - outside the ?75? Mile radius dubbed local - could get from yorkton or a clear night from Brandon And I guess it was closer to 30 than 40 yrs - Mid 80's was when they had the 90% sellout rule for lifting blackout

If games are truly won or lost in the trenches - you hold the edge on both sides It's coming down to scheme, prep and play calling

Oh don't get me started on bling this week - that chain?, those t shirts? I wish they were fake

Lutherselbo, Do or Die, Lyin'Guy, Stan Peters Those are a few of the posters of RF I try to emulate- fans from other teams being proper guests Just here to talk football- preferably the 3 down kind- are their times I type and want to talk trash back?, oh yah, but I remember I am in your house , so hit delete not send As I've said before - these sites are more alike than I think some want to admit- and that's ok 40+ yrs ago I probably watched more Bomber games - saw more of Dieter, House, Poplawski et al because of the stupid blackout rules, and Taylor Field never "selling out" because they could always fit one more ass ( there's your hanging curveball- flame away) onto hemorrhoid hill, so Rider home games never made it to TV

There were times in the nineties that Taylor Field felt like perdition ( btw that quote is a song by The Dead South) YouTube that song if you want a catchy tune

I don't get the shots - AH plays a brutal sport to entertain fans - does it well, and puts his heart into it , If you are close to the situation and have knowledge of exact details - ( and those who would be in this situation are supporting him I will add) then only speak up if the truth is being hidden and lies told If you are like the rest of us - something about glass houses and throwing stones comes to mind ( looking straight at you J Reaves )

Please accept my best wishes - some things are more important than sports

Got it thanks- I was trying to do it thru account profile, didn't notice the settings Showing my inner troglodyte

I'd expect no less But "In Hell I'll be in good company "

Feel free to do as you wish, I set up this account thinking I'd post a couple things and then vanish into the green mist, so used a different handle, since at the time there was a fair bit of vitriol being passed between the bases however , I've learned that the two sites are actually not that different The vast majority of posters are knowledgeable CFL fans who happen to cheer harder for one team , and I have a lot to learn from their history and experience, and I enjoy their posts, and have kept doing some limited posting Both sites have some residents that post on the extreme , and some posters who see the world only in binary form and seem to carry a lot of anger and bitterness in their soul- But yes- if I , as a Rider fan , come to a Bomber site and talk s##t, I should be called out I give props to those who use one handle on both sites And to make it official, I post as VoR on riderfans, and if your Mod can change my name to that, I'd be good with it

Your D is probably good for 10 to 14 pts directly or close to it, with Medlock and your ST's adding in their points It will still come down to us having to get 21+ pts with our O or ST , Next two weeks won't be high scoring, but should be entertaining

Harris missing the next two games for pretty much any other reason, and I'm ecstatic. This, however, sucks on every level for everyone involved I wish I could hope for a lab error or something, but these things usually have so many quality controls in place to avoid false positives, that's why it takes two months to announce Frack

If it comes down to special teams, I do not like our chances

comparing players never easy, especially from different times, however, I ask myself two questions- first- in their prime, who would I have wanted on my team in a Grey Cup, single game, winner take all and second, who would I want to build a team around for longer term While Cornish was a great player, I'd take Harris over him in both cases and yes, Cahoon should not be on the list at all Harris is the #1 skill player born north of the 49th.

technically, we traded him to Ticats for Charleston Hughes, Hamilton ended up cutting him, he signed as FA with Als regardless- STAMPS LOSE, and that makes it a good night

Well done do or die, a solid fan and poster here and elsewhere

Congrats #33 One of the all time best, passport be damned

Ok , I've had a number of beers , and am enjoying a pleasant evening at mosaic, but I have to be honest- What does that post mean ? Kick ass ? Maybe - you're still a pretty good f'ing team But eat ass ? Is that a Winnipeg thing?

Sure, other than we took a chance with a late 4th round pick, not the 1st overall, And New Orleans traded two picks to move up to draft him, and he's still playing, even starting for them ( once he's done his weed related suspension) so earning an NFL game cheque would make most people less interested in the CFL

Overwhelming fear- we dont pressure Reilly early he has time to make even one bomb to Duron, which motivates DC to focus and use his talent, he has a monster game and there it is First of these teams to get their mental game on wins ( or maybe the team that doesn't lose their mental s@@t first is the one not to lose There's the pregame speech- don't suck as bad as them)

15?? Maybe if your returners fumble in the endzone twice

And who was that 1 win against ( sigh)
