We lost in all four phases of the game, O. D, ST & the refs.

So disappointed in this loss & how it came about. From the refs throwing flags against us to MOS not challenging the PI call on Leggett to our swiss cheese defense...

Well, when you don't have the football you're expected to block.

I just couldn't get into this tournament. It's way too early. This, in no way replaces the Olympics.

LOL! I just picked a random number for discussion purposes & 5'10 seemed appropriate.

What? Unreal.

Rod was a heckuva player. I remember him very well. Sorry to read about his problems later in life. RIP Rod Woodward. http://theprovince.com/sports/football/cfl/former-cfl-all-star-clan-coach-rod-woodward-succumbs-to-fall

Man, I remember a time & it doesn't seem that long ago (but it was) when a 245 lb OL was the norm. A giant would have been LT Bill Frank at 6'7 & 275 lbs...

I don't recall a lot of throws where our qbs have left our receivers in vulnerable positions. I just said I prefer bigger targets at slot & wideout.

Smith is a talented receiver but I really believe our receivers have to get bigger & more physical even though the rules on PI & incidental contact have largely taken away the physicality of the defensive backs that cover them. I'll take a 6'3 receiver over a 5'10 one in a heartbeat if they have great hands just because the size & weight differential can be a real advantage when the ball is on a high trajectory. The receiver can just go up & get it. Wall out the DB covering him. You just have to look at the Stampeders & their passing attack to see what I mean.

Absolutely. Hull was the best left winger power forward in the world at the time. Of course Orr was the best hockey player in the world as well but had major knee issues. It was Alan Eagleson's decision to not allow Hull to play as he was cozy with NHL owners & President Clarence Campbell.

Everybody thought we'd go 8-0. When we didn't the fans & media got surly. You could see that Esposito was at the point where he justifiably wanted to say "Eff You to Canadians" & just go back to the Bruins training camp. Two weeks later Espo was a hero.

I often wonder how the 1972 Soviet team would fare against this year's Canada's World Cup team or the last Olympic one. I think we'd sweep the Soviets in 5....Or 6-2 as that series in 72 was an 8 game series. The biggest problem for Team Canada back then 44 years ago was conditioning. They didn't train in the off season like the NHL players of today do & Team Canada needed the first 5 games just to get in shape... Once they did they won 3 straight to win the series.

Feel free to blow your brains out Jacquie...

Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer & Jack Nicklaus. The Big Four of golf. Tiger Woods may have been able to break into that group before his career went all to hell. He'll be a discussion subject when it comes to other great golfers like Tom Watson, Lee Trevino & Greg Norman. Top 10 but never Top 4 like Palmer was. Also, the Top 4 played at a higher & more competitive level at an older age than Woods is now.

Who knows?

We just might be. I have a facebook friend who is an ardent Rider fan. He said DD has an online business in Regina that brings him in an extra $30,000 a year in income & even though he could work the business from elsewhere it's tied to Riders merchandising so he thinks DD will re-sign with the Riders. If he goes elsewhere there goes the business.

After turtling last weekend, not surprised Adams was dealt. If a player doesn't like contact then it's time to get another job doing something else.

Before the Collaros injury it wasn't even close.

If parents are meddling the guy should tell them to back off. He's a grown man capable of thinking for himself. He doesn't need Mommy & Daddy getting involved like he's in Grade 6.

With Arnold Palmer passing away yesterday I'm glad the Bombers are honouring him this season even if it interrupts his duck hunting.

Last year their OL stayed intact. Now., they'll have to do some roster juggling.

Typical WWE **** ending.... Knew that was coming.

Golfing legend & icon Arnold Palmer died today at age 87. Rest in Peace, Arnie. Class act all the way. http://www.golfweek.com/2016/09/25/arnold-palmer-passes-away-at-87/

Nerves, I believe.
