Squeakers and Skippy

Do the Bombers still have a basketball & hockey teams like they used to? I remember the Bombers would play high school junior & senior high basketball teams back in the day. Some of those guys could really ball. My friend was an all star forward for Churchill High School in Grade 12. He ended up playing for 4 years at the University of Winnipeg for the Wesmen so he was a serious player. I guess a couple of Bomber players also were very good basketball players & they schooled the Bulldogs. There was a photo in our yearbook of my friend with his hands on his hips looking pissed off as one of the Bombers was doing a free throw. The hockey team played in the media league. There were a few media guys on that Bomber team as well. When the Bomber basketball team came to a high school it was a big deal. The gym would be packed wherever they played.

Hardrick lost a step last year it was noticeable in the 2nd half of the season. Riders are insane for paying that much. 

I will eat crow. Guy played a great game and got it done in the clutch.

But why is Collaros so shallow in the pocket? If he needs to let a play develop, why is he taking a short drop and getting backed into by his guards?
The roster usage is overblown. It affected us today because we were playing injured players (hugely dumb move), but in general hasn't killed us this year (though easily could - I am on the roster mismanagement side).

Is this Rita Mcneill I thought she died

Kelly is gonna be a guy ppl look back on In 3 years and go, remember that guy who had 1 ok year and won the MOP, yeah Jim Kelly's nephew, yeah wonder what he's doing now. 
That's 3 years from now 
Cuz if I'm Toronto oline, first few plays of next season,  I let the other team kill him cuz bullshit he had a concussion. Honestly the guy is just clueless, talk about putting your entire organization and the league really  in a bad spot
 
Concussion is just an excuse.  He wasn't concussed, he was exposed playing a good D for the first time 

Dude was the third best QB before the East final. Heap whatever ridicule on him for the "concusion", the meltdown, or low character displayed by disparaging his organization over his desire for the NFL... but he was still the third best QB in the league this year.

The first time the Argos were made aware of the so called injury was basically when Kelly told the media. What a joke. This guy is a narcissist.

I cannot see Kelly lasting in the CFL, despite his obvious talent. His personality will wear out any goodwill he still has with his teammates in short order. We have many like him arrive in a blaze of optimism and then slink away.

yeah....thats the best part..Maas too....the reason SASK sucked apparently haha

Maas all dropping happy f-bombs on the postgame,

Cody Faj, Sankey,and Maas to the Grey Cup. The pain has to be real for Rider fans.

This result does not surpise me too much.  Als D has been stout all year.  Argos O has often benefitted from good field position - they were not that good.  IMO running Oulette more would have cut down turnovers and gotten them a win - he was effective.

Best team ever!

TSN built up Kelly and now they are going to throw him in the gutter

Not sure what’s funnier. TO losing or Sask shipping Faj and Maas to MTL and them ending up on the GC 🤣

O'Day receives a 3 year extension, no less.

Because tipping how you would play against us gives us hints how to beat you.
 
Football has changed. It's all about tape, tendencies and pre-snap reads. I'm a bit of a dinosaur myself, but I've come to recognize that this is how it's done now. Best practices, to borrow corporate jargon.
Showing your whole hand is just dumb. Hall isn't dumb. So he sat his defence back in plain Jane mode and didn't go after young Mr.Dukes.

Can't be too mad at a rookie making his first start. 07 I am mad at the veteran star running back who was God awful because he was hung the **** over.

Honestly I'm not sure this is as big a deal as some are making it out to be. The BC game is FAR more important. This game means little other than bragging rights.
Anyhow, for this week...
 
 

yay

yay

TSN is too lazy to even change their studio table helmet graphic to the correct helmets for teams. 
 

It is better with white pants - too bad the stripes are mismatched. The helmet, jersey, and pants are all different stripes. 
 
Not a fan 
Kate Beirness is honestly terrible
