Around The League Regular Season Discussion
I'm looking forward to today's Rider post-practice report. If there is a noticeable decrease in the number of players on the field from 2 days ago, then Jones' claim that he was doing no wrong won't fly. The ongoing "tryouts" argument will spring holes very quickly.

There will be no sanctions against the Riders but their paralympic team will be banned from playing.

Scott Mitchell further states that his sources have told him that the Riders have two houses where these types of players are being housed.

Rod Pedersen mentioned to H & Lawless that he sees many players at Rider practice who he doesn't recognize, and who seem anxious to hit the field post-practice. Jones told him that he frequently holds "open practices" and that there is no rule against this. (No one stated that these could be pre-practice or chicken squad players).

Bob Irving & CFN
For those of you who think that Bob Irving's only media gig has been with CJOB, you might be interested to know about a brief experiment in the late 80's where he did television play by play. The Canadian Football Network was a league run syndication that was developed partly due to CTV dropping their CFL rights. I believe the broadcast pairings rotated, but one memory I do have is the pairing of Irving and Nick Bastaja. These two provided some of the most articulate commentary (Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy are still my favorites) I've heard since. Dave Hodge, Dan Kepley, and Neil Lumsden were also involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Football_Network

Police officers shot in Dallas
I'm in contact with a colleague in Dallas. He's an admin at Parkland Hospital (largest teaching hosp. Dallas). There is chaos.

Post Game Show
Agreed. I also saw a Calvillo-lite offense (no threat of a scrambling QB) that could raise eyebrows.

Since Walby and Westwood said during the pre-game that the game was a must-win, I assume that to them the season is lost. Too bad.

Is Henoc Muamba pi**ing away his football career?
If HM is still being represented by J. Hardaway, I would remove Sask from the short list. It seems, the two parties still have some business to attend to with another player.

Although; " Couture will likely play an important role on the Bombers’ O-line from the outset; if not as a starter then as a much-needed national in the rotation. Couture has played every position on the offensive line and while the Bombers will be patient with his development, he’ll be ready to contribute if needed." “He’s going to get a chance to get lots of reps,” said Walters. “He’ll push all the guys that are here, he’ll come in and learn and he’ll develop.

Listening to Walters' interview with Lawless yesterday and he sees Corney doing plenty of platooning this season.

Coach's Show
Sorry. Two topics. The scouts brought in some very good OL recruits to push the vets, all in all the OL is not our biggest concern (according to Coach). OSH was also gushing pretty good about Chung and Goose.
