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

He was detained for breaching the peace. There’s a very important difference. Being detained for breaching the peace is legal speak for you’re being a pain in the ass and going to the drunk tank until you relax and we sort everything out. Never once said he was detained for “questioning” or whatever, he obviously did something but he was never arrested and never charged.

No he wasn’t. He was detained. You’re smart enough to know there’s a difference.

Was he drunk? I mean … OBVIOUSLY lol

Charleston Hughes lol

You say clearly he crossed a line, but really it’s not clear at all. The story as it’s being presented makes complete sense. Purifoy agitated in public, Purifoy suspected of potentially being involved in an assault, Purifoy detained while they sort out the details, Purifoy cleared of all wrongdoing, Purifoy released. This is not like AC Leonard claiming he’s got stage fright, the story makes a world of sense the way it was explained and I really have no reason to not believe it. Hate on the Riders all you want, their current management team handles this stuff properly - public support for the player, private accountability. If Purifoy did anything beyond what is claimed, there’s really no reason to believe he wouldn’t have been held accountable, especially given his prior run-ins with the law before coming to the CFL.

You guys are nuts lol Lawler got a DUI and the only thing most people wanted to talk about around here was “good on him for being forthcoming about it” Purifoy probably didn’t do a damn thing other than land himself in the drunk tank for a night. He wasn’t charged with a crime, he got put in timeout because he was probably amped up about the situation and needed the time to chill out. He was forthcoming to the Riders about it, they addressed it and everyone should move on. I know it’s in style to just automatically hate everything about the Riders no matter what but let’s be honest, this is way way WAY less significant than what Lawler did. Suspend Purifoy a total of 0 games and let’s just heckle him on Sunday instead.

CTE?

Nobody cares what Jeff Hamilton thinks, he sucks

Never change

I don’t. I want them healthy. No excuses.

Josh Ranek is one for sure.
