Paging Bluto .... he would know best...

Aww yes McKnight is the sole reason for our worst O games lol.....

Why are people assuming that Duke will only be catching balls 20+ yards down field. The guy will be a great target for Fajardo in the 10 - 20 yard range.

The chart is helping prove my point, look at the sharp drop off over the ten years of the younger folks being caught drinking/driving. Those numbers are even further lower as UBER is now a thing. What does 20 something males on motorcycles doing 150 kph have to do with anything at all? That has nothing at all to do with drinking and driving. Also the amount of people doing that is so tiny and miniscule what a poor example to use. You would of been better off saying how many ding dongs in trucks with lift kits drive around like morons but even that has nothing to do with this topic. Boomers 50 's to 80's are not out partying in the same way as a college kid. But how many 20 year old sit at a pub alone getting completely hammered all by themselves? What does McMaster university have to do with anything? An isolated incident now can be used to blanket everything else? Why not speak with the Winnipeg Police and ask who they pull over mostly for DUI's. Even better you can take a look at the list of people they pull over during Christmas time checkstops. I will concede that in my original post that I was mostly thinking about people born in Canada and who live in the city. The most frequent drunk drivers that are pulled over are older white males, east Indian males and Indigenous males. The latter two I assume its more of a cultural thing (not that this gives them an excuse). As time passes and the older people die off (morbid) the drunk driving numbers will further shrink since the younger generation are far more careful and reserved then people who grew up back in the day when mostly anything goes. So sorry boomer Speedflex for hurting your fee fee's

It's predominately older people who get busted (Boomers!) because I'd assume arrogance and/or because they are stubborn and don't want to change with the times. Most younger people don't think twice about calling an Uber or taking a cab.

The few games that I have watched with the Riders is that they did have pass drops... but those were mostly 2nd down throws that were 5 - 10 yards deep only. All of the deep throws that I've seen were terribly inaccurate.

Posey is an average receiver... it's a huge drop off from Whitehead.

Lawler is 27 years old. By that age I was long past my years of doing stupid things. So when is the official cut off age of growing up and acting responsible? 35?

If only cell phones existed back in the day... people would be amazed at how certain pro atheletes or movie stars behaved. I could only imagine the videos of classic 80's wrestlers at local pubs!

Demski seems to be money this year.. the guy is finding holes and just finding those big plays in the holes of the defenses.

How so? Are you minimalizing what he did because you are a fan of his and he plays on our team? It's not like I want us to lose our best receiver and I take joy that the team is not as good now without him. I guess how I difer from yourself is that I take real life as more important then my hobby of following a sports team. I don't give two craps if someone works at a local store or if they are a star football player... when someone drinks and drives they should be crucified. This isn't a 18 year old kid making a childish mistake. He's a grown man why make excuses or try to find reasons like "He may have only had 2 drinks" ... the man ****** up and he should pay the price. So in my opinion I picture myself as a responsible adult and sees the situation as how bad it truly is while someone like yourself looks like a clueless teenager behind a keyboard. If you ever get a chance to speak with a family or a friend who lost someone to a drunk driver hitting them maybe you should ask those people "Well maybe the driver only had one or two, he didn't do anything really bad did he". If I was suspended from work for 1 day without pay... it hardly would make a serious impact on my outlook when in comparison if I were to lose a year of pay I would truly think long and hard before every screwing up again. DUI charges and fines are FAR more severe then most other petty crimes in our system , they do this for a reason. To play devils advocate... Leonard in Saskatchewan lost what 3 days of pay for "cheating".... yet Lawler potentially could of killed someone and gets only 1 pay day docked? That doesn't seem right IMO.

What if he had ran over someone and killed them, it's just lucky that nobody was in the path. DUI is a serious offense and this team is ALL about being not selfish and being responsible on and off the field.

I'm going to assume Bailey will be targetted deep and Roosevelt will be getting those mid range clutch 2nd down passes heading his way. Collaros has deadly accuracy and I'm not to much worried about Roosevelts hands. Just his ability to create some separation.

This is a massive disappointment and poor timing. Had he DUI'd last week we could of at least suspended him for the season and then bring in Duke to replace him. The guy really let his team down, it's not hard to call a cab if you've had a drink or three.

Duke is a good pick up like I said... it isn't the missing piece that will put them over the top though. They need two solid O-linemen and some help in the secondary. Duke will bail out Fajardo on the short passes that is for sure. Play off time I way rather play Saskatchewan... I'm going to assume Maier takes over for BLM and that guy is far more dangerous this seasons then Faj.

My only concern is that we don't get to Harris and he rattles of 15 consecutive eight yard passes against us. Otherwise we should be good. Trevor Harris reminds me of Kevin Glenn...hit him a few times and the guy will be shook up for a quarter or two.

I'll admit it's a good pick up for the Riders. Big receiver with good hands on those short passes will definitely help them out.

From the few games that I've watched with the Riders this year, it seems like they take at least 3 - 5 completely avoidable penalties. I think it was in the first series against Calgary where Marshall pushes the reciever down after he had already taken many steps out of bounds which then pushed the ball closer to the goal line. They also seem to take many more no yards and off sides then other teams.

Black was absolutely overjoyed with that the new nickname.

I went to K & S island Grill down portage near Sargeant Sundae and it was amazing. I highly recommend for anyone looking for Roti or any other Jamaican food.

Maier time?

Just watched the Riders game, the defense looked decent but that game was classic Fajardo... can only throw short passes and can only succeed with his telegraphed spin move. That guy will not be a good cold weather QB. Fajardo was also lucky that he didn't have 3 more ints where the Calgary defenders had the ball in both hands buy for some reason bobbled each time. Massive horse shoes up that guys rear end. Suitor going crazy because he finally connects on one deep ball that was properly executed. Calgary.... BLM missed some wide open guys. He had time in the pocket but still seemed off at random times. I would of ran far more with Carey. Overall best outcome for us!

Hamilton should be ashamed WOW... how did they not blitz Montreal in the 4th quarter on each down?

Vernon Adams is terrible... I would of stuck with Shiltz. Also very predictable play calling from Khari.

Toronto does not need help on receiver, it would be wasted money for them.
