VoR reacted to johnzo in Nichols out for the year
yeah.
I have respect for almost any pro football player who can go out week after week and perform in an elite setting. The level of dedication, discipline and perseverance one needs to get to even the CFL level is way beyond anything I've ever accomplished, and I've got accomplishments that I'm plenty proud of. That's not to say that all football players are saints deserving our worship, or that I'd even like any of them as people, or that they're entitled to a spot on the Bombers. It's just that I respect how hard they've worked to get to this place where they can entertain me. Doesn't matter whether it's Chris Walby or Michael Bishop or Roc Carmichael or Willy Jefferson. Respect 'em all.
and so yeah, it's annoying to me too to see keyboard warriors calling out football players as cowardly or timid. Especially a guy like Nichols who has come back from some pretty gruesome injuries in his career and who is a huge reason for the team's turnaround since 2016. especially as a starting QB who has to find targets downfield and keep his cool while people like Shawn Lemon are trying to ******* behead him.
(I dunno about you, but if Shawn Lemon were coming for me, completing a pass downfield would be the last thing I'd worry about, because I am programmed to think like a rational human being and not like a quarterback)

Is that why he's been a bit more visible over at RF? Trying to wipe his feet at the door?

I know it's not been around long,
But it is so well done, such a uniquely visceral experience, I think it will become a "to do when in Winnipeg "
And the gift shop has some unique items

You & I don't agree very much when it comes to the Bombers. But when it comes to your wife & family, I hope that she makes a full recovery & is home soon. Football is a just game but family comes first & it is everything.

VoR reacted to MC in Regular Season Bomber News
The hit on Rempel was legal. The rule says you cannot hit him until his lifts his head. He lifted his head and got hit - in that order. What do you expect the league to do?
There is no rule that you cannot hit someone hard. Rempel will look at the film and say that he should have stayed lower as he brought his head up. It's no different than skating through the neutral zone with your head down.
I preach about protecting players all the time. But I don't want anyone refereeing based on how injured a player was after the play.

VoR got a reaction from Deiter Fan in Chris Streveler - Has your opinion changed?
Hope things are going ok with your wife, my thoughts.
Streveler is fun to watch, and I'd rather try to tackle a moose- crap he's strong on the run
Get him outside , cuz only the DT's are stronger than him 1 on 1 , and get him reps- he needs muscle memory and timing at game speed
Sure, play this week to kick our ass, but then use the remaining games to get him ready for playoffs - mid and long throws so he has his mechanics down, not just trying muscle the long balls
Once again- hope the banjo bowl is your biggest worry this weekend

I will reiterate that I had an awesome time on Sunday, the final score notwithstanding. The Rider fans were exceptional hosts.
-------
Rider fans seemed confused when I said I was excited about Farpotato being their QB as they were. The ones I spoke with really couldn't see his glaring faults. I get they are fans and love their players but they seem quite ignorant of the fortunate situation he's had and how it's going to all crash down.

Sounds so like 2018 riders
I just pictured Mcadoo in the booth, about 1/2 way thru the 3rd quarter of week 16 looking up and going " wait a minute, this book opens up? What's all this other stuff ?"

Hey BC - let each of your sea
The way BCs season has gone this is the year to try to promote hard
Let each season ticket holder buy a block of 10 seats for 100$ in one of those deserted sections - get butts in the seats try to entertain them
