    I've been thinking this for a while and have to say it: DeMelo. He's not the sole cause of the team's issues, but last night he turned the puck over in our own zone right before the St Louis goal and then took a dumb penalty at the end when we were trying to tie it up. I used to be surprised that he has such a high plus/minus rating but then realized it makes sense because you don't get a minus when you're sitting in the penalty box.

    20 other teams would snap him up.

    Put Jefferson on a DL that gets pressure from the Tackles & I'm pretty sure you'd see his production increase noticeably. We talk about Koala bringing down the OL & how everyone suffers for his poor play... Take Thomas out of the mix, get some size & an actual run stopper at the 0 & 1 technique in a 3 & 4 man front & he'd be a different player. 

    They have a literal liability at the heart of the defense.

    for the league to sponsor 1 beat reporter per team to the Grey Cup...would be a mere pittance and drop in the hat

    They should actually do that regardless if not for a major publication, but young up and coming reporters in each city to get a chance to promote both themselves and the league....yearly.

    I sure money is not an issue, and really if they approached some corporate businesses and said we looking to do a program as such, would you like to be a part of it and inject some funds...win win all around...positive exposure for all involved and a tax write of for the Company being part of it

    The legue has failed on several areas in the 2020's to promote and get exposure with the archaic buffoon's who are running things....They need fresh thinkers and new minds that know what the current landscapes are

    If their own organizations don't even want to send them, who's going to publish the articles?

    The league could have sponsored him, like the Eskimos paid other teams to come to Edmonton for playoff games.

    Yea exactly, oh Mr. Commissioner here's an easy fix to help grow the league ffs. The more professionally prepared people reporting on our game the better.

    I doubt the league can afford to set that precedence. There'd be half a dozen hats extended, in 2026.

    Yeah I rag on them as much as anybody but they do a better job of covering the CFL than the "real" media.  They are great for news but their opinion pieces are not usually worth reading.

    There isn't a lot of CFL opinion that's worth reading. Tait is good, although only for one team. Costabile on cfl.ca is decent, but the rest of that site is slim pickings. The only other writer who comes to mind is Zurkowsky in Montreal.

    If only Montreal had a capable veteran backup. Oh they do. This is collaros and his finger it’s just Alexander and hamstring so where’s the same energy towards Maas as O’Shea? What’s the difference. The actual difference is als had a capable veteran backup. We did not.  Imagine O’Shea played an injured Zach while we had a capable backup like MBT. This site would lose its ****. Maas lost the game by staying with the injured QB. 

    MBT wasn't healthy either...he'll be having a delayed surgery done.

    Can any former Rider receivers ever find happiness in the Blue & Gold? Would we Bomber fans accept Emilus or Nield? Look how hard it was for both Ryan Smith & Weston Dressler to play here. There was always a small group of Bomber fans who never forgave them for being former Riders. 

    Nic Demski. And fans like that need to get over themselves.
