I hope the clown was wearing his mask while he ranted and raved. While he does have an argument, he just looks like a ****** for crying about it like that.

I would have given Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund the nod over Willie but he also had a much better surrounding cast to work with. D-Line stats (not just at DE) were way down from last year so nobody really stood out I guess. Yup, last year there were 7 guys with double digit sacks - numbers were way down this year.

I love Willie but I'm not sure how he got selected as a league all-star this year other than name recognition.

It was before Doman took over but after Braley died. Whether they had the money or not, they weren't paying Reilly what he was owed in his contract so he filed a grievance.

They couldn't even afford to pay Reilly! He had to file a grievance against them before they re-worked his contract less than a year after signing him to a massive deal. You would think they'd have learned something since then but it would appear that is not the case.

Blue Flu.

The community on this site pre-dates the team-run forum. Most of us have been talking football on this board (and ourbombers.com before that) for close to 20 years (just guessing) so why would we stop? RF is not an official team site but if the Riders decided to create a message board tomorrow, do you think RF would just cease to exist? I don't know how that other forum is these days but for me, when it started, I found it was overly-moderated - I know a few people who were banned or had posts deleted just for being (justifiably) critical of the team. It turned me off from that forum and I never went back. Rich and the crew have done a great job (imo) of creating a forum where you can speak your mind freely. You might get called out on your opinion by other posters, but you won't get the ban hammer undeservedly. Just my 2 cents.

Those two did not practice the week of GC but like Booch said there were a few guys who were not healthy and it hurt us having them out there.

Healthy according to who? There were guys deemed healthy enough to play last year and clearly weren't. It could be a comparable situation but we wouldn't know until we see them on the field.

Hopefully written under the name "Johnny Calhoun".

Maybe he needs a blog?

Not sure if this is real life or an episode of Shoresy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/justin-pender-hockey-fight-video-nl-1.7372805

TBF, that's from Marshall Ferguson who, based on his mock drafts and previous predictions, would rank lower than Turd Ferguson as a reliable source.

Campbell is still under contract for next year with BC so unless the Lions make a big change (Campbell is also co-GM), that's unlikely to happen.

Are you seriously comparing Strevy's development to a guy with 3 times the experience/play time? Fajardo was already in the CFL before Strevy even made the switch to full-time QB in college so yeah he should be ahead of him in progression. Fajardo: 45 games in college & 124 games (73 as a starter) in the CFL. Strevy: 23 games (as a QB) in college & 54 games (12 as a starter) in the CFL & NFL.

He's also co-GM so he gets some blame for the cap hell they've got themselves into. Went all in to get a home Grey Cup but ended up with a .500 record and a loss in the semis.

I just assume they're preparing themselves for next week when they're salty after we end their season.

VAJ has a guarantee for the 2026 season so cutting him would be costly. Trade is the only way out of the hole they put themselves in.

Didn't look like Hatcher was waving in the trainer's as much as he was just twitching after taking a big hit. Right call to pull him.

Plus Mace actually got them to win a game after Labour Day - that's worthy of a statue in Regina.

Yep, before they vote, the media should go back and read some of the stuff from mid-August. It was the same story the whole season and when you look at how many passes he threw (at least 120 pass attempts more than any other QB), it's not a surprise he put up big numbers this year. https://3downnation.com/2024/08/14/opinion-hamilton-tiger-cats-made-right-choice-benching-bo-levi-mitchell-for-taylor-powell/

Just updated by the Bombers... thought there'd be more sold TBH. The said there was about 3k left a few days ago so that's not far from where they are at now.

My picks (with admittedly Blue tinted glasses on) and why: MOP - Brady. For all the BLM talk, we shouldn't forget that he/the team was so bad in August that he lost his job as the starter. If Powell doesn't almost immediately get 6 gamed, we're not even having this discussion. Kudos for him on a bounce back season that I didn't think he was capable of anymore but there were negatives too. MODP - Beverette. Not buying into the Milligan hype. MOC - Brady. Good year for IAB but he's surrounded by a great defense. Brady is the premiere Canadian in the league and to do what he did, given the struggles our o-line had most of this year, it's very impressive MOOL - Hunter. F the Riders, that's why. 😂 MOSTP - Whyte. Could be a toss up. Tempted to go with Janarion but I feel like he cooled off after a very hot start to the season. The flipside for me is that Whyte, while impressive at 94.3% gets the benefit of kicking in a dome for half the year. I'd like to see what his numbers at home are vs his numbers when playing away. MOR - Bridges. Impressive rookie season that could have been even better if he didn't miss the last few games. COTY - Maas. The Al's ended last season hot & kept it going this season. Had 1st place locked up by a country mile. Not giving Mace the award just because the Riders finally managed to win a game after Labour Day.
