  1. Gatorade Shower the one night a pink slip the next. Must be a first.
  2. I'm sure a big chunk of those fans are driving in from Calgary for the game. Considering it's only half Stampeder fans at McMahon for games against the Riders, not even a chance. Obviously some, but not many. That's total bullshit. That's why I hate & totally disrespect the Rider fanbase when they post total garbage like this. The Stamps have 24,000 season tickets in a 35.000 seat stadium. So how do nearly 20,000 Rider fans get in? Most of the fans there cheering for the Riders are drunken douchebags. Give me a frigging break. Ok sorry, that was an exaggeration, but they still fill it up a decent bit. Anyhow, there aren't going to be that many Stamps fans in Regina. There will obviously be a few as always, but not "a big chunk". Yeah but when you go to a game in Calgary vs. the Bombers there's a ton of Bomber fans in there too, when the Lions are in town there's a ton of Lions fans. That's just what happens when you are in a city with a large population that has moved there from out of province. The Riders aren't some unique fanbase, especially when it comes to Calgary. Exactly. Through many decades the youth of Saskatchewan fled their family farms to other provinces to gain employment in other provinces. Saskatchewan teetered on the brink of insolvency for the better part of 50 years prior to the last decade. With no other major economy other than farming and no prospect of employment other than driving tractor for minimum wage, Saskatchewanites spread out across the country at a rate only rivaled by Newfoundland. Once in their new homes, they developed a kind of survivor's guilt for leaving and the only sports team from "back home" they could rally their survival guilt around was the Riders. The success of the Rider brand across Canada has more to do with that than anything else. Not wanting to be seen as turncoats by the province that raised them but they ultimately abandoned, they don green and go to games in the hopes that somehow it will rectify the damage that was done by the mass exodus they were a part of. Sad really. In short the Rider's success around the league speaks more to the former sad state of affairs of their home province than it actually does about their football team. Same could probably be said about the high number of Bomber fans that attend games in Alberta. Although, there are far fewer of us, the reasons for attending are about trying to keep allegiances with the provinces left behind. This post is sadly very true in some ways. I left Sask right out of high school for the Alberta Oilfields. Is what it is. I also returned home at the first opportunity and have lived here many years. I don't blame anyone for moving or doing what they have to do to support their families, That's got ****-all to do with what team they cheer for. FYI I have 3 Manitoba boys on my crew here and they still like the Bombers, I wouldn't expect them to turn on the team they grew up cheering for just because they moved here. I lived in Regina for almost 10 years and asked why I don't cheer for the Riders since I,live in Regina now several times. All looked at me puzzled when I said since I grew up a Bombers fan I could never cheer for anyone else.
  3. I would say the WIL has become the more impact position Bighill McCoil Mayo Bass Lawrence Munoz
  4. Huf was playing his guys and not letting the more talented guy play. See what I did there!
  5. pretty vague statement in response to some specific examples. don't you think? anyway, unimportant. CNN: So let’s dive right in. The loudest criticism that we often hear about “The New York Times” — I don’t know if it’s the most frequent but it’s certainly the loudest, is that it has a liberal bias. Does it? MARGARET SULLIVAN, PUBLIC EDITOR, THE NEW YORK TIMES: Well, some of my predecessors have taken that head-on. In fact, Daniel Okrent, the first public editor, once wrote a column — and I think the headline said something like “Is ‘The Times’ a Liberal Newspaper?” And his answer in the lead was, of course it is. And he went on from there. And it got quite a bit of response. I mean, that is obviously something people feel about The Times, and I think maybe the best way to think about it is that The Times reflects its readership, its community. It’s an urban paper; it’s a New York City paper. I mean that’s a reasonable criticism, I think. CNN: So it is a yes? SULLIVAN: It’s a modified “yes,” with a lot of nuance in it. Interesting side not you can thank Daniel Orkrent for the fantasy sports craze he was the founder of the first routisseri baseball league. There is a excellent 30 for 30 on it I think it's called A Silly Little Game.
  6. I am guess it's practice roster so they figure out the corresponding moves they will have to make.
  7. If he is cut loose I would bring him in as a situational pass rusher. Play him 20-30 snaps a game could get some production out of him.
  8. Could give up 0 passing yards and Bucknor would still get dumped on. Could give up 0 rushing yards and Hurl would still get dumped on.
  9. I don't know why people think TO would trade Ricky Ray in season. He is the best insurance policy in the whole league.

  11. Rizzo is 25 playing on a roster where he is veteran leader. Right now he is willing the Cubs to the playoffs. He has already beat cancer to get where he is. Watching him everyday I'll take him in a heart beat.
  12. I think Brown said on the post game show the Argos figured out that Marve only escapes the pocket to the fright so they were looping guys around to get him. I think the Vega sack was a result of that.
  13. Held the best pass team in the league to 168 and there O to under 300 yards. There best outing of the year.
  14. Good play by the Argo end he did not bit in the running back made a play. If he crashes down Marve picks up 20 yards.
  15. Yeah multiple times tonight there were 3 Argos and no blockers to be seen around him.
  16. Went a lot on Wednesday's after we would go to Earls main for wings. We thought it was amature night but latter on we found it they were pros.
  17. Met my wife at the Pemby. Was the George Reznick Trio playing at the Pemby on Saturday's back when you used to go? They were Saturday afternoon regulars in my day. normally just a few tables of guys betting on the Ponies
  18. I'll take Anthony Rizzo
  19. Was never a big club guy when I was younger but we always enjoyed a afternoon beer on a Friday or Saturday at the Marion the Curtis or the Pemby
  20. Wonder if he would said that if the Als end up winning the game
