I tried to drown my sorrows with the thought that we did up Bo's payday but sadly after they released the details he got similar to Mike Reilly numbers and being they are no 1 and 2 in what ever order you want it was already established what he was going to get as Calgary wasn't going to low ball compared to Reilly's contract.  So while the riders did offer more money Calgary didn't have to up there offer or match the riders to keep Bo as the 3down article stated he gave them a home town discount.

For what it's worth I like the idea of him wanting to stay in Calgary and have a legacy.  I wish more players were loyal and there was less 1 year contracts.  Most people are scared to get a name on a jersey with the turn over.  It's good for the league when guys stick in one place cause when the casual fan can relate to the team and feel they know it they are more invested in it.  Not walking around going I don't even know who our(insert postion here) is this year.  The free agents league wide was crazy this year.

My team had a terrible day no doubt but what worries me the most is I was really hoping the riders would make the retirement choice for Collaros.  He clearly can't see the danger he is putting himself in.   He is 30 years old and his brain has to be over half scrambled.  There comes a time when the human becomes more important than a game.    He's too young to risk what could happen and it will happen as you seen last year it doesn't even have to happen from a dirty hit, it can be as simple as a tackle were his head bounces off the turf and prediction that could happen as soon as pre season.  I really hoped he was going to walk away passion and fire to play or not.

Well Done.  No excuses here if you don't have a chance to win with your backups why are they on the team.  It's football injuries will always happen and are never an excuse.   The Head shot at the end did not cause us to loose the game.  Good teams don't leave it up to one call,  but for the love of god they need to get that hit out of the game,  It happens too much to all teams QB's and my feelings on that don't change no matter what jersey colour the QB is wearing.   I hope you carry the momentum and break your Grey Cup drought as every fan base that supports there team through thick and thin deserves to be part of a championship win cause it feels awesome.   Still sucks we lost thought just glad it was a nail biting quality game.  Cheers.

Until it hurts a team in the game I don't think it will stop.  I mean if he's suspended next man up gets practices to get ready.  I would like to see the replay official call it (as I understand now he only changes things not challengeable) Maybe up the yardage to 25 yards to make guys think twice?  In game toss out to hurt the limited rosters?  All I know is Reilly probably takes more than anybody and sure he's tough but how many seasons will he loose at the end of his career because those hits catch up? And he's arguably the best QB in the league.  Iam not asking for touch football as I love a clean bone jarring hit but the blatant head shots need to go.  In our small league qb's are a commodity and need to be protected.  I don't blame the official the ball was out and Brandon was scrambling and his view was obstructed, he probably watched the replay and new it was a bad miss.  I mean if that happened to Nichols I would be just as mad as now it takes away from next weeks game and hurts your playoff run,  Max fine 1 game suspension ....... I just don't think either is enough to make it stop.
