that face mask needs to be sent into the league. Another rider who needs a fine.
There was also that asshat Rider that tried to horsecollar Dressler 10 yards into the endzone.

I agree. I didn't mention it in the other thread, but the location, and, or depth of the cup holders are weird to me.
They seem low to the ground and shallow.
Some dude at the game had a beer in a cup holder and he said the beer spilt everytime the guy in front of him got out of his seat.

They displayed the financial cost on screen. And it looks like the stadium isn't that much more than IGF once the repairs and extras are factored in.
It riders only on hook for $25 million. They will be a cash cow for a long time. Bombers debt related to IGF is an albatross.
The team also spent close to $20 million towards team amenities (locker room, weight room, barbershop etc) which I understand aren't included in the quoted price tag of the stadium.

He actually catches it, tucks it and as he's getting up to run he punches the ball out with his other hand... if that isn't a catch and then loss of possession then I haven't been watching football long enough (I started remembering games in 84). The c'mon centre really fumbled that call ?
And the crazy thing is the C'mon Centre saw enough in their eyes to overturn the call. I thought they weren't going to overturn close calls so I guess this wasn't a close call. I'm ok with the call if they use the same standard of catch / no catch all season but I have my doubts that they will.

I think the biggest issue is that video replay officials have a confirmation bias. Ideally it would be better that the video review official doesn't know the call on the field and they are asked to interpret or make their own call which will either confirm or disagree with the field refs call
Yup, if it's a close call the Command Centre will uphold the call on the field. Meanwhile, if it's a close call the officials will rule in favour of the scoring play or turnover so it gets reviewed. It's quite the paradox.

It's comforting to know that the Bombers are practicing 4 times this week and they don't play a game. Meanwhile the Riders have a game and are practicing once in Regina before going to Montreal.

According to some Rider fans the Bombers were caught sleeping and Jones was able to sign Bennett and Bingham. Now, they've both been released.

It'll be interesting to read how the Jones apologists spin this one.
Best thing I read was some Rider fans aren't concerned with the score in last night's game. They think the Lions had more to play for because they need to sell tickets so they had to put on a good show for their fans. Lol

Hopefully Denmark will be alright
Denmark was interviewed after the game, he said he's ok.

The size of the video replay areas looked to be the same as last year. What they did was get rid of some of the ads to make the stats area bigger.

On Edmonton's last touchdown an Esks receiver was clearly 5 yards offside yet there was no penalty.

One of my earliest training camp memories is as a kid watching the team practice at the Velodrome a few times. Not sure if I saw Mark Chipman tryout for the Bombers but one guy I remember was Forrest Kennerd - Trevor's twin brother. I'm surprised the 5 foot 5 QB didn't make the team, they must have been biased against Canadians or something.

I remember Charlie Roberts was all offended when we brought in Onterrio Smith. Thought it was disrespectful when we brought in competition for him.
I really liked Henri Childs when he was here though.
Yeah, I was at Smith's first practice (he was injured and just rode the bike on the sideline). After practice the media wanted to talk to Roberts but he literally ran away from them and hid under the grandstand. Good times.

Were you alive the last time the Bombers won one?
I've been around for 3 Bomber Grey Cups and 3 Rider Cups. The way Rider fans talk however you'd think they've won 20 in my lifetime.

Who was the Don Unamba fan on here? I see Unamba signed with Montreal.

Perhaps this is ratio related, I don't see any familiar names on the Als roster that would shout "Woods replacement".
This is their current LB crew.
Chris Ackie (N)
Nicolas Boulay (N)
Chip Cox (I)
Kyries Hebert (I)
Tabari McGaskey (I)
Frederic Plesius (N)
Anthony Sarao (I)
They are apparently high on Sarao.
