You never know what the person is going through on an individual level. Because we are federally regulated, my workplace was required to be fully vaccinated by November 15th and we had about 16 or 17 guys above me in the seniority roster who are not working because of that mandate. Among them are a few who think that the vaccine is an excuse to implant microchips in them. I have no time for them. But I do have all the time in the world for the guy who was one of the more respected guys in our workforce who opted out of getting the vaccine because his daughter had a very adverse reaction to it that has resulted in some fairly significant heart problems. He had nothing against the vaccination for everyone else, it just wasn’t worth the risk for him. While I may not agree with either choice, I certainly respect one reason far more than the other. TLDR: good on O’Shea for taking the time to talk with these guys and find out the reasons for their choices.

Stevie Wonder bad

100% agree with that for everyone except John Murphy.

I mean, Dunk is pretty solid.

Unless you’re into hearing about how the Riders lead the league in pass deflections on Sunday afternoon games where the temperature is a number divisible by three at kickoff off passes thrown by quarterbacks with two digit jersey numbers and four or more vowels in their last name, Derek Taylor ****ing sucks.

The thing is, none of them are big bodied physical receivers. Hamilton isn’t a physically dominating offensive team and if you lean hard on them, they’ll wear down quick.

I’m not sure if the video posted here is the entirety of what’s available online. Cant link it off my phone but there’s a video on Twitter that shows the whole thing and Murphy put his hands on a female Ticat fan (no clue what she was doing there), then took a swing at a male fan who said something to him, called him a homophobic slur and exchanged a few more blows with him. how to lose your job in 25 seconds

I agree.

Too many out there who are both. I hope that guy wearing the Leafs jersey underneath the Riders jersey at the game yesterday had the worst day of his life.

I don’t think CF played amazing by any stretch and his yardage numbers are definitely inflated by that BS catch ruling at the end but it’s fair to say that if not for our defence, Zach has a large part in playing us out of the game before the first half is even over.

I mean, I wouldn’t argue with that.

Who cares if it’s on video, Rider Nation will just claim deep fakes anyways. Haven’t you heard them going on and on about “Android” Harris as if their best D Lineman didn’t just get suspended for literally the exact same thing? I’m surprised they’ve been smart enough to keep Lawler’s name out their mouth. These are literally the same fans that were suggesting they take out Collaros and pay the 15 yard price tag a week ago and now crying into their sister’s cleavage about how Alexander hit Fajardo. These are the same fans that were screaming for an investigation after the Banjo Bowl because there were murmurs of some bottom of the pile cheap shots by the Bombers with nothing on camera to support it. They play by their own rules and honestly, whatever. It looks good on them. I feel for the few good ones in that fan base, because they do exist, but dummies like Stronson and Pappcam and RDavidson over at that hellhole make it so easy to hate them. Throw in a bunch of morons like Marshall, Duke, Gainey, Maas, Marino and a sensitive little crybaby like Cody Fajardo and you’ve got all the makings of one easily hateable franchise.

Bailey / Lucky / Kenny next year sounds good to me

I never like these hits and given the variables, which include our QB having a history with the kind of injuries these hits can cause, I’d genuinely like to see them given a steeper punishment than 15 yards. That being said, you’re right. CF is a known late slider. Did you see that Pitt QB fake a slide over the weekend then run it to the house?

Genuinely hope they wouldn’t reverse that.

I was a big time Bailey detractor early on in the year. Thought he was a run of the mill just another guy, but I want him to be a Bomber for life. His heart and leadership are incredible and he’s turned into one hell of a tough receiver as well.

I wanna say Lanier

I’m glad CF wasn’t hurt either and let’s call it what it is - a dirty play by Alexander. Deserved the 15 yards and maybe then some. That being said, the Riders don’t have to look too far to find guys that do the exact same kind of stuff. Makana Henry (and before I say this, I’m just going to shout the guy out because from everything I’ve read about him off the field, he’s turned his life around and seems to have a major impact in his community which is awesome) is still a piece of trash on the field, Garrett Marino is one of the dirtier guys in the league, Nick Marshall is no different and Duke is … Duke. The Riders want to whine and cry about all the missteps the Bombers take in a game, cry me a river. That stuff goes both ways.

Cody Fajardo saying that things just didn’t go their way and they couldn’t catch a break yesterday has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. He’s such a loser. Poor me attitude and no accountability or leadership.

Agreed. Not a guy I’d want on my team anymore, personally. Was hoping the NFL experience would have humbled him (especially since he was told more than once to knock that stuff off down there) but obviously it had the opposite effect. Ultra talented, ultra dumb though sadly.

Chris Edwards and Duke Williams are two dummies cut from the same cloth

Watching the Rider fans cry is so euphoric to me. Rider_Stronson over there having a meltdown, you love to see it. We handed them the game multiple times and they couldn’t take it. **** em, so glad we were the team to knock them out. Let’s go Blue!

Thought I saw you there 😂

Either way the CFL looks like an absolute joke with this. This is a slap in the face to Ja’gared Davis, to Kenny Stafford, to Brendan Labatte, to any other players who have sacrificed because of these rules and to literally every other team in the CFL. The rules to begin with were stupid. There’s no disputing that. The idea that MBT can’t go to a Raptors game but Willie Jefferson can do promotional appearances at a car dealership is a bad one. But they’re still the rules. To change them now is embarrassing and honestly, as much as Arash gets annoying sometimes with his constantly negative stance towards Ambrosie, he’s not far off the mark. Ambrosie is an absolute joke of a commissioner, easily the worst professional sports commissioner of my lifetime and the league will be better off once he’s gone.

My preferable outcome would have been that you grow up
