Pete Catan's Ghost

Like it or leave it, the writer provides fairly in-depth rationale for his decisions. There aren't too many that do.
Also, it's the first time I've read an actual assessment of Foketi's play. I paid little attention to him during the game and thought that because we ran the ball well and gave up no sacks that he must have been decent.
I think that generally, this is a good read.

The crux of this trade proposal is not about who is your most resilient player. it's that it only needs to last for the remainder of this year. Either QB could be traded/cut/ or restructured at year end.
Who would you rather have as your relief guy for a championship run in 2016...Durant or Willy?

Hell, we'll throw in Pavelec....

Throw in Neufeld to offset the salary and to provide DW that much needed protection he will require in Sasky.

Love that Pederson is being called out in this article. 
He's a Rider sychophant who runs the Sasky masses into a lather with his bizarro-world conspiracy claims.
If only H & L would use some other Regina media person than him for their corn fed interviews. He's a transparent shill who would do well to remove the straw from his teeth before he makes any future unfounded accusations

I was just over at Rider Fans checking out the delusional posting that is going on over there after reading about it here. After reading one thread in particular it really made me appreciate (again) how great MBB and the mods are. The way this forum is moderated is so superior to RF it ain't even funny. Here the rules are applied fairly (IMO) and when things get out of hand the reaction is swift. At RF, it seems like the rules only apply to posters who are critical of the Rider organization and/or are perceived to be fans of other teams. Anyone who posts anything perceived to be negative is labelled a "troll" and can be called every name in the book without the mods stepping in while the so-called "troll" will be banned at the drop of a hat even when what they post is factually correct. 
Again, thank you to everyone - admin, mods and posters - for making this such a great place to post. 

So you think you can insult me and spit in my eye????

Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters - Fines are all I see
Nothing really matters to me

I would love to read  a pure stream of consciousness gin-fuelled rant,  either positive after a win or negative after a loss...Sincerely......just for reference. 

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

I noticed the last year CFN operated was 1990 ... the Bombers won their last Cup that year ... hmmm ...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THAT'S IT!!!! 

I remember the CFN Network. That was after CTV told the league to go shove it after (if you can believe it) the network wanted to televise more games Friday nights & the league said no. They actually wanted to make Friday nights the night to watch the CFL but the league balked. CBC & TSN (in their infancy) didn't want to televise all the games so the CFL quickly organized their own league. I think it lasted just a year. Johnny Esaw the head of sports at CTV vowed that they would never, ever televise another game on their network. If you know who Esaw was, he loved the CFL. But business is business, I guess. The CFL really pissed him off  The league was its own worst enemy the last 40 years making some real short sighted decisions over that time.

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.

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.
