It's time to treat gas as a utility and make it get approval for it's prices from the provinces respective public utilities boards.

Sure...some hunt for pleasure for sure. I still see nothing wrong with that so long as they are not wasting the meat. Only the ones that don't hunt enough. Hunting is a great way to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. More lard asses should do it.

Should be a forfeit, but the Criders will likely get their game postponed. I would hope the league will make sure this "outbreak" is real as the timing is very convenient with the RIders QB being a lame duck right now.

I know he died of cancer. My point was that in that era professional athletes could live a different lifestyle and still have success compared to now. The example transcends what sport I am using to illustrate my point. There are numerous examples in every professional sport in that era, including the CFL, where players were routinely out of shape until TC, smoked, ate badly, did little to no physical training. That could never happen in any pro league now, you wouldn't make it out of day 1 training camp.

Were you there? My point is that in leagues like the CFL and even the NHL, up until the early 80's, there wasn't a ton of onus put on physical conditioning like there is now. I am sure that 30lbs overweight coming into camp is an overstatement, but it was literally nothing to see athletes like Dale Hawerchuk, Phil Housley, or Thomas Steen ducking out of the dressing room between periods to go have a smoke down the tunnel. Blink Roberts would be an example of the same in the CFL. I'm sure the hoggies still eat as many burgers and beers now as back in the 80's, but I doubt any other position group is even remotely in the same conditioning then as they are now.

I agree. Hunting is not cheap. Lb for lb you are probably breaking even buying pork, beef, chicken from the store after all is said and done. However, wild meat is excellent table fare, not full of chemicals and hormones, and is very lean and healthy. I don't hunt for fun, although I have fun hunting. It's a side benefit of doing so. Ethically, it is better to hunt imo as well, especially in areas where game populations require control. I also know a good number of people who subsistence hunt and are hunting because they can't afford meat. Generally, they are hunting and trapping smaller game, and only occasionally large game...as it is expensive to hunt large game unless you are geographically pretty close to your hunting area.

Pretty sure Ducky was Blink's personal trainer. lol

Absolutely no way Montreal offer sheets him to any amount that surrenders their 1st round Bedard lottery ticket.

Hawerchuk smoked 2 packs a day and the extent of his off season workout regimen was playing summer beer league in Gimli. I know, I played on his team. That guy would have been ridiculous if he had trained, ate right, not smoked.

Neck and neck with the '90 defence. I disagree. I am not suggesting that the 90 defensive front 7 is better than now but I would put them as equals. That 90 D had a pretty awesome front 7 too. For sure. There is no doubt about that.

Losers? Riders? Nevermind...same thing anyway. Yea...it is awesome. A lot of the diehards are starting to demand a change in culture. Even they realize it's a recipe for a lost season.

I would rather all 3 of our byes come in the last half of the season. That's when the wear and tear really kicks in. Kenny who? JK...Lawler is awesome,, but it seems pretty obvious by the numbers this year that Ellingson is a more than capable replacement. He quietly produces. Always has. Like you I never really noticed him because he's not a flashy big play guy. Just quietly racks up the receptions and moves the sticks. Always knew he had great hands, but never realized how much he gets targeted. (looking at past stats)

As pointed out by a Bomber fan in attendance at TDA on Reddit....both teams came out of the same end zone tunnel. The Argos could not take the field without coming through the Riders side of half. It's literally the dumbest excuse in the world.

It's kind of funny to watch how Fajardo can jumo up and down after a completion, but limps so bad his leg is dragging behind him like Igor after and incompletion or interception. I didn't notice this until I rewatched the game and I was just embarrassed for him after doing so.

Probably pretty unfair to expect Dobson to be a dominant lineman in game 6 of his career. Fair point of Gray though, however, he isn't that bad either....he's just not Desjarlais. It's a different position to play that requires a different skill set than OG. Gray has the footwork to be an OT, and OT could potentially be a better fit for him than OG. It is not true that an OG cannot be an OT if they are out of position at OG to start with.

Cody has submitted his thoughts to the CFL rules committee. Highlights include "5 steamboats" and flag belts for QBs.

The memo you are referring to was written by Ambrosie, and circulation was halted at the request of the league BOG who have been conspiring against the RIders and Cody Fajardo for years now.

Duke with another Rider disgusting display in warm up. Just completely out of control this team.

He did not apologize for trying to take out Boyds knees a few plays earlier, barely alluded to the hit that injured Masoli, made most of his apology about a "misunderstanding" of his racist comments, and made no apology for the grotesque victory lap he did knowing full well he ended a man's season and had just been ejected for it. This apology is almost condescending. How anyone could think this is a proper apology is beyond me. The Riders organization should have at least made sure their pre-written apology that they wrote for Marino contained an apology for each suspension. All he seems sorry for was the racist comments.

The thing is that every single player in this league knows it too, and are going to provoke the crap out of him. Does anyone believe he will grit his teeth and take it. I don't.

The silver lining in all of this, is it just makes me appreciate the Bombers so much more. Thank you for that Marino, Dickenson et al.....and I must admit I am more than a little reveling in the tire fire this is.

Just as well. He would only make it worse. Everything he says is just a tire fire.

If he had done this a couple days ago he certainly could have prevented a lot of unfortunate comments by a lot of people in the Rider organization. Well, at least they have publically acknowledged that they are a douchebag of an organization. That is the first step on the road to recovery. Now they need to attend the meetings. If they attend one tonight I believe it Chris Jones turn to bring the coffee and donuts.

Dickie will be backpedaling like a 5' half back covering Lucky Whitehead on a go route.

In fairness. Dickenson looked really bad before the fake apology.
