IIRC, Brockballs around in th made it clear that he was NFL-bound as soon as possible, so they got what they could for him. He built up his arms by tossing shot-put balls in the off-season, but he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He was one of the highest-rated NFL QBs before he got hurt- his back I think, and was never the same afterwards.

Well, they elected Brian "the best to all the infidels" Pallister as their leader, didn't they?

Still hoping for nude limbo contest with a flaming cross-bar.

I am still not sold on Bass as a MLB. He was great as an outside linebacker but even though he has been getting better, he is still roadkill on too many running plays. Messam is going to demolish him.

And all the roads leading out of town there. By popular demand.

Only directly above the Rider bench.

Welcome back.

Some traditions are so deep-seated that they persist.

Crow isn't all that appetizing anyways.

Usually, its Willie Nelson through a gerbil with really good recipe for brownies.

Gotta stop the peyote buttons on weekdays.

I predict that this will be one of the most heart-attack inducing, stressful Banjo Bowls of all time. The Bombers will have a very loud, very partisan sellout crowd who will be hoping for, but afraid to really expect a drubbing of the lowly Riders. We have had so many disappointments at IGF that it is hard to assume that this game will be in the bag.

Ah. Sort of like the Peter Warren or Don Imus of the CFL.

In an age where there is still a Flat Earth Society with thousands of members, women who flock to visit mass murderers and people who insist that the Earth was created 4000 years ago on a Thursday afternoon, this is not surprising.

Ripper is not always in agreement with the majority here (and sometimes not even the minority) but he has conducted himself with reasonable restraint in the face of personal attacks. Therefore, let us conduct ourselves in a manner befitting.

The 'Cats are full measure for the win. They could have thrown in the towel after a disastrous first half but came back to win. Ray deserved better, but that's the CFL for you. Helluva game. As much as I enjoyed the Bomber win, this was way more entertaining.

Anyone who has been thinking that Ricky Ray was ready for the scrap heap may be having second thoughts right about now.

Collaros is good, the rest of the team, not so much.

Sadly, its option one.

A good deal of southern Alberta was settled by Americans who came after their civil war, thinking they could have slaves here after the practice was banned in the US. The first premier of Alberta was the grandson of one of these. These ex-pat Americans were resentful of any further government interference in their lives and choices- we would call them rednecks now. And BTW: in all the Old West America, Dodge City, Laramie, Tombstone, etc, guns had to be checked in at the Sheriff's office before they could hit the local taverns.

Lets remember that there is no way that Jones is going to get fired unless he violates a morals clause- his contract is just too rich to carry and the Riders are still on the hook for 2017 paying Taman and Chambliss (who must look pretty good to the Rider fans by now). Jones' attitude has to be poisoning his relationships with the refs as well. No good news in Riderville, and the vets there with pride are going to start giving up soon.

Bombers did not play their best game and still squeaked out a win where the team usually loses and loses ugly. I expect a nasty game next Saturday.

What has not been talked about in this thread is the effect the constantly changing cast of receivers is having on the passing game. Some QBs and receivers have instant chemistry, but others take time to develop, and the difference between a reception and incomplete or intercepted passes is very small sometimes. It would be very nice to have the same set of receivers for 2-3 games and maybe then our red-zone performance might improve.

Maybe he can ask pretty please would Tommy Higgins come to his house to play.

Seemed off in the first half, but better in the second. The drops by the receivers were tough catches for the most part.
