this will always be one of my favourite things... God bless the Queen......

Making room on the roster, or possibly wanted off the PR to go home for some reason?

This.

My grandparents were staunch British and believed in the monarchy, so I got a lot of that as a kid. I'm proud of my British heritage, and Canada's relationship with the monarchy (though, the colonizer aspect of it all is something that needs reckoning with). Not sure how accurate it is, but I've really learned a lot from watching The Crown.

these morons actually believe their own nonsense....it's really incredible. They truly believe they're the majority.

which is entirely the wrong attitude. Anyone with half a brain would look at that and go "wow, this is a really strong virus to get through all those layers of protection, and imagine how much sicker I could have been WITHOUT those layers of protection??"

He looked incredibly sore the rest of the game, and was rotating his shoulder after throwing.... you could tell he wasn't right.

You must have to actively try and be that ignorant....

Just happy to not see Collaros on that list...

Practice Day 1:

at the time, there was one liquor store in Calgary that carried Farmery (the only MB beer available in AB at the time), so we went to find it, but the store wasn't open yet. Across the street from it is a little pub in the Inglewood area of Cgy that we enjoy, so we stopped in there for a quick drink while we waited for the liquor store to open. We very consciously wanted a Crown Royal to bring the Manitoba vibes as much as we could. I will never forget everything about that weekend...

again, I'm absolutely certain the league said "enough is enough..." and told the Riders as much:

I'm positive the league mandated this so don't go praising the Riders. I'm certain they didn't want to do it.

he gone!

Dave and I speak almost entirely in "references" in an attempt to get the other one to react to the post....

One of the best weekends of my life, without question. We (unfortunately) live in rural AB for work, and we'd purchased tickets nearly a year in advance when we got a pre-sale code. Not great seats, but only $150, so you can't really go wrong. When all the craziness at the end of the season started conspiring in our favour, we realized we were so glad to have pre-purchased tickets. One of our buddies was turning 40 on the GC weekend, and so another of our buddies came out from Winnipeg for the whole weekend. There's almost too many stories to tell, but it started with a bison burger (get more Manitoba in ya...) on the Thursday night, then being interviewed by Bart Kives for a story about ex-pat Manitobans in AB for GC, then meeting James West (who we initially thought was Mookie Mitchell - long story!) and his wife. Got our pic taken with the cup at Spirit Of Edmonton. Friday, an outstanding TD MB and I finally got to talk with Doug Brown and get him to sign my jersey, which I'd wanted for a long time. That night, we ended up at Bombers House downtown YYC. It was a really good time. In the back room, we were hanging out with Andrew Patterson and some others, when Doug Brown and Bob Cameron wandered in. I think Bob had had a few pops that evening. Everyone was cheering for both of them, and out of nowhere, Bob decided to get on the bar and "plank". It is, to this day, one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Saturday we had a killer surprise party for buddy's 40th. Sunday was the game itself. Started with a shot of Gimli (Crown Royal) and some Farmery beer while watching the 90 GC. Then we made our way down to McMahon, and of course, the rest is history. Hanging out after the game, not wanting to leave the stadium, high-fives with Rasheed Bailey and his family, Zach Collaros, Wade Miller and some others. Great weekend....I'll see if I can find some pics from the weekend and post here later.

"we'll get to that......."

not necessarily that they're fans of another team masquerading here, but I feel strongly the bolded is true of several people on here...

when Jones ****** off and they were forced to take on the lesser Dickenson as their HC, I laughed and laughed and laughed because this is exactly what was going to happen. They wildly overachieved in the first year and then regressed to what they really are. It's highly enjoyable to watch.

it's the injuries. Last year was a freak show because of how healthy we were the entire season. This year. we have had a TON of injuries and that's what's causing most of the "problems", but as has been noted, we're still not giving up many points, especially when it matters.

We'll know more on Day 1 of practice. As for what happens on Saturday, I was convinced of Molly Whopping the Als at home and that didn't work out so well. I'm now very leery of beating any team in back to back weeks.

Marc Legghio is our MOST and it's not particularly close. **** the haters.
