I suspect we'll know more about those injuries today. They'll release an official "Injury Report" sometime after practice...and prior to that, we'll see tweets from Bauming and Irving that will have some insight from practice itself.

Until his injury in 2019, he was the best QB in the league. He was outstanding. Dropping balls everywhere they needed to be, he was running, he was doing it all. His QB efficiency was off the charts. Then he gets pancaked from behind and, it would appear, he hasn't been the same since...

Bruce Cassidy (Boston), Peter DeBoer (Vegas), and Barry Trotz (Isles) will be assistants............roster projections should be fun. Gotta think Scheifele is a lock for Team Canada...

I ******* hate Wilder... That bullshit with refusing to wear his jersey properly drives me absolutely bonkers.

Fox Vegas in the house! @17to85says the Subway is the nicest place in town....

I feel bad for Nichols who clearly isn't right. But man... Who the **** else is out there for Ottawa to pick up? Like McGuire is actually probably Lapos next best option and he's under contract to us for now...

Jesus Christ throw the ball away.....

I ******* love this league so much... Good football, bad football, whatever.... This is so much fun.

Kenneh... Having a game.

Abdul Kenneh having a game. Also, worth reiterating that Tim Flanders is not Andrew Harris....

Pre-pancaked Nichols not only wins that GC game but likely finishes more drives and we settle for less FGs. He was tearing the league a new ******* in 2019 prior to getting squashed from behind....

I'm almost always a Edmonton Teams Second guy, but damn it I still love Matty Ice and wanna see him do well. Hope it's a close game.

I said before, and got shouted down, but you coulda made the case for him as GC MOP. That dude is outstanding.

Love this group chat on a double header Saturday.... Man I love the cfl.

Walby and Dunigan are two guys who like to have some drinks and talk about football. If you can capture that in a broadcast, you've got something. The key there is that they're "colour" guys, not the hosts. Your colour guys are supposed to have personalities. The host/PBP needs to be more polished and professional, IMO. Wittman and Walby, Cuthbert/Miller/Smith and Dunigan..... Those are OUTSTANDING tandems. I like Forde, but he comes across awkward at times when he attempts to be funny. Suitor is knowledgeable enough but is just SUCH a Riders apologist and makes it tough to handle. Just my own personal takes tho.. As I said.... People have different tastes.

100% prepped for weeks ahead of time. Same with "The Golden Goal...."

Listen - here's an absolute broadcasting truth: There's a lot of subjectivity to it, as far as what people enjoy. I don't want to go so far as to say "everyone's ears are different..." but some people are just looking for different things out of a broadcast/broadcaster... And that's fine. I'm okay with that. If what Rod Black does is enjoyable to some people, that's great. Whatever makes you happy. But from a guy who hires broadcasters for a living, the voice is among the least important things for me when I'm hiring someone new. I want a top notch communicator, a hard worker, and an extremely positive attitude. I don't work in TV, and things are a bit different over in that world, but the basics are the same. There's a reason Chris Cuthbert is the best to ever do it... And it's very little to do with his voice.

100%.

Riders are who we thought they were. Dogshit team who by rights should have lost that game.

Whatever kinda roster BC fielded tonight is among the worst teams I have ever seen. Jesus Christ. Having said that, I would love nothing more than to see them come back in this game and force these ******* 4 stripes to choke on it...

Not a huge fan of Beirness but I'm a huge fan of diversity and it's great to see a woman hosting the panel. Good on her. Don't love Sanchez, but am a big fan of Milt and Dunigan for sure.

I mean, the Brown trade is famously one of the biggest swindles in CFL history. Traded for a pick, which ended up being Jon Oosterhuis, who came to Winnipeg eventually and had a solid career.

It's the going rate... The kid is a stud.

That trade thread is really funny to revisit... I definitely had my mind changed. And looking at how Nichols is right now.... Imagine of they hadn't made the move to keep Collaros and ditch Nichols.... Ai yi yi.
