Labour Day Classic: Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan
I fully expect Glenn to throw for 350+, our D is just way too soft. That being said, they're looser with the ball than we are and if we can capitalize off a mistake and not hand them any free points, Glenn's stats won't matter.

First Central Scouting Bureau Rankings
Julien Laurent will be top 3 by the time this is all said and done. I like Lenius too.

Welcoming Other Fans
Unfortunately, the reality is this comment doesn't seem to carry as much weight when it's coming from somebody who has been just as guilty of initiating arguments. I've watched you harass Ripper over one opinion of his for what seems like days now and as an uninvested reader, it's just annoying to keep reading. I didn't like Ripper's attitude of trolling either. Didn't think it crossed the line as something I could moderate, so I didn't but I didn't go out of my way to bother him (and by association, people trying to read threads) about it endlessly. My main thing is this: some folks here are incredibly quick to criticize Riderfans.com for the way they treat opposing fans. And I agree. Some of them are ignorant to all but the team some people cheer for. But look in the mirror. We're doing it too.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
If I was Walters, I'd be really looking to sign Mulumba, cut Okpalaugo and make way for Poop to get back on the roster. Okpalaugo over Poop at this point seems like such a mistake.

Injury Report
Lankford sucks and IMO, he should be the one coming out. He's not a very good kick returner, he's just behind a very good coverage team. He's miserable as a receiver to the point where I'd honestly rather have Coates/Feoli both in. And let's not act like our staff doesn't make personnel mistakes. They benched another young outstanding rookie last year for a veteran and look how well that worked for them - another one they better not replicate this week.

Bringing the Riders back to earth and their fans back to reality ...
Personally I wish that the nice Rider fans were treated with a little more respect, because it makes it tough to roll my eyes at the people at RF who do it to me when everyone here is doing it to. i'm all for rivalry and pointing out when Rider fans are being douchy, but at the same time ... some aren't so bad. looking forward to leaving to go watch the game Saturday!

UFC
I had it closer than the judges did, but it was pretty obvious the fight went (including the first 3, maybe 4 rounds that I had for McGregor) just about how Mayweather wanted it to. No losers anywhere though, great fight, great event, great result for both men.

Not even remotely comparable. Far, far, FAR worse.

I really hope our commissioner is smart enough to not allow this to happen.

Bringing the Riders back to earth and their fans back to reality ...
No kidding. I was reading through this thread thinking the exact same thing - Ripper has been incredibly tolerable for almost the entire time he's been here, then his team gets two wins and you'd think it's an entirely different poster. It's going to be a good game. That much is probably about as much as I want to guarantee, but that being said ... god, Rider fans are so easy to dislike.

Ridirts @ Eskos
Not surprised the Riders won, but I'm surprised they put up 50+ Edmonton did play absolutely awful though. I mean, that one pick Jovon made, I could have made it.

The Most Important Game: Wpg @ Regina
Pretty sure it's Migs, so I'm going to just do some confirming and maybe we'll be rid of this detriment to our Friday.

It's a terrible point to make. Buzz off.

Being stupid isn't against the rules, technically. But he's pushing it.

The Most Important Game: Wpg @ Regina
"Who have the Bombers beaten from the West on the road" Says the imbecile trying to make the point that the Bombers are comparable to the Riders. Well ... we've beaten the Riders. And who have the Riders beaten? Seriously. The Riders have three wins on the road in the last 2 1/2 seasons. What a dolt.

Bombers @ Als: The Game Day Thread
I knew not having Poop Johnson in the lineup wouldn't be a good look for us. Okpalaugo was more or less invisible last night. To me, if Jeffcoat is healthy next week, we're much better rotating Westerman/Jeffcoat/Corney and Thomas/Poop/Nevis than we are rotating four defensive ends and Thomas/Nevis/Ekakitie. Okpalaugo isn't a "bust" but he's certainly not a need for us right now. Too bad, because he's amazing depth. But I don't know that I'd be dressing him ...

We need to petition the CFL Commish to host LDC
I'd rather the LDC stay as is, lots of teachers in my group that travels who wouldn't be able to likely go if it wasn't that long weekend right before school starts.

3 stars + HH Heart stopping OT edition
Randle, Denmark, Darvin, Medlock we missed the Poopster tonight - Okpalaugo seemed about as invisible as he did before he got hurt

Flying High into Montréal: Bombers vs. Als
Since we played them 3 weeks ago, they've lost Keith Shologan, Chris Ackie, Philip Blake and J-C Beaulieu for Canadian starters / rotational pieces. They've literally got probably one Canadian starter that would start in other lineups in the league (Westerman)

Flying High into Montréal: Bombers vs. Als
Montreal's 7 Canadian starters: Luc Brodeur-Jordain, Kristian Matte, George Johnson, Samuel Giguere, Jabar Westerman, Jesse Joseph and Dondre Wright That is ugly ugly ugly

Flying High into Montréal: Bombers vs. Als
To me, and I don't mean to simplify this ... Ekakitie at TC looked like an out of shape, sloppy mess. When I've seen him in practice lately, he looks WAY better.

Flying High into Montréal: Bombers vs. Als
Can't see how it will ever be Flanders anymore. I just don't really see the need for TO, we rotate Corney Westerman Jeffcoat just fine.
