This is the best news I've heard all week. Praying for a surprise post-bye week purge of the excess fat on the roster. ehhhh.... While Picard's snaps have been horrific I'd rather not cut an experience NI Oline at the moment I can understand where you're coming from but what good is experience if his play has been declining for years to the point where he's a complete liability out there? Rider fans have been looking to be rid of him for his bad snaps for at least 2 seasons prior to this one and he was never a great blocker. He's not getting any better and it's hard to imagine Goossen possibly being worse. I don't even care about whether we would save salary or not, just get rid of him so there is no temptation to play him in the case Goossen has a bad game. To me, experience only makes a difference if you have at least something positive to contribute on the field. Picard does not at this point in his career. Ok and then we have a couple injuries and suddenly Thomas Griffiths is starting or we have 3 Americans on the OL. And there's no guarantee the Americans are going to be any good anyways, as we saw last year. It's a terrible idea to cut Canadian OL midseason, more so now than ever. Goossen will get his chance when the time is right, no need to force it.

Garrett was great to end 2011 as well. 576 yards in 6 games for a 6.3 yard avg with 4 TD. Not to mention the 190+ yard performance in the East Final.Both Garrett and Simpson were great for one small segment of time and then completely dropped off. Well to be fair to Garrett he tore his Achilles. He never really "fell off".

Either that or we start 9 Canadians, to an absolute uproar on here.

No I don't, I still haven't gotten into NXT but I have definitely heard the women's matches are better.

Yep we heard this exact same refrain last off-season.

As politically incorrect as it may be to say it, I simply do not get entertained by women's wrestling. The hotness factor is really all that's in it for me. Sorry not sorry .

Also curious to see what happens on the OL. Is Neufeld the guy at RT or no?

Man you guys are nuts, if the women's division was only Nikki Bella I'd still love it

RAW last night was better than Summerslam lol

Calgarians will actually go out of their way to pay more for stuff. "Hey Bob I got this new TV for 499!!" "Oh Bill you're so quaint. I found the same TV for 599. Do you want to see my last pay stub?"

Yeah I was surprised to see people leaving at that point. Down 7 with time left, that's the best part of a CFL game.

Dudley Boys are back!!!

I just want the Bombers to win

To me there are two clear tiers this year. Hamilton, Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton are the first tier teams and the rest are in the second tier. I honestly don't think there is any big difference between BC, Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Ottawa and Montreal and any of those teams could beat each other on any given week.

Willie had one catch for 12 yards in the first preseason game and one catch for 13 yards in the second game. FYI.

Well hopefully Marshall can stay healthy. I don't think Thomas is a lock to get on this week, although he probably will.

The finish on Lesnar/Undertaker was very confusing for me. I didn't understand what happened until they showed the replays. Otherwise decent match. Cena/Rollins was good not great. Again, finish was pretty lame. I initially liked that springboard stunner that Cena started using a while back but it seems like he really struggles to nail it. It looks like a tough move to pull off convincingly but it's great when he hits it. Rollins looked great though. I was definitely impressed with the Arrow guy but I had no idea who he was before he appeared on WWE so I didn't care that much. Overall it was pretty underwhelming but I didn't mind seeing the New Day win the Tag titles.. However that ending was also confusing for me because I didn't know who was supposed to be legal in the ring at the time. I'd give it a 7/10 if it was a normal PPV but I was hoping for more out of Summerslam so I give it 5/10.

Too expensive

Wayne Simmonds for Buff straight up....

Gbill is laying it down!!!

Because you're a fan and I hate you!!!!!!!! Are you 12? Not til next week

Rider sympathizer....or Rider fan? Hmmm..... Neither. I just find it comical (and pretty hypocritical) that Bomber fans on this site get so bent about how popular the Riders are nationwide and how boisterous their fans are about their allegiances, and feel they have to shout it down and de-cry it as a "myth". Sucks for them to be 0-7 and be so close in every game, certainly given the injury issues they have had, but I don't feel sorry for them. No one would feel sorry for the Bombers in the same situation. But I feel no overt need to throw it in their faces unless a fan fires the first shot directly at me (and to my face, not over a message board). But I find it sillier that people feel the need to be bothered by how supportive the Rider fans are, both at home and on the road, and the fact that the media comments on it, and the massive need to say "that's a lie!", or "it just gets soooo annoying" when the most ardent Bomber fans do EXACTLY the same thing, like it's OK for us to do it, but a crime for another fan base to. The perception of a strong Rider national fan base is not inaccurate - come to any Banjo Bowl and see how well their fans travel. This is just my opinion, but it smacks of sour grapes and a massive inferiority complex, like it takes away from how good Bomber fans are if we don't get the same props, or if another team gets any credit. And it is so predictable around here, when we do well we can revel in their failure, but when we have a struggling team that we can't puff our chests out about, we revert to the "well they suck too" and "they are in your face about it (like we aren't?). Just funny how childish it seems, and to me, this petty attitude and classlessness DOES reflect badly on our fanbase (and I don't expect anyone to adopt that last line of thinking). I am sure I am overreacting to most, but it is a pet peeve of mine. I don't need to tear down other anonymous people to make me feel better about myself - I don't want to give that kind power to others to determine my life happiness, especially fans of a competing sports team. Anyway, just my observation and opinion, no Rider flag waving intended. You've done this same rant enough times for me to conclude you are a Rider fan in disguise. Everyone watch out for this guy.

Oh god kill me now. Why why why. Hope that's false.

He'll be off the PR within a week...
