I actually don't have any issue with Sankey... I think he's a good player... I just don't like missing opportunities for a good joke

so you didn't like winning the grey cup last year??

But but but... Sankey has like 700 tackles... he's clearly the best defensive player!! 😖

haha, yes.... just the difference between "years" and "seasons".... no matter what anyone says November 1990 to November 2019 is 29 years of time.

it's in the details... 28 football seasons without winning a grey cup... 29 years between actual hoisting of the grey cup

they kind of have to... if they get Rourke back next year (i.e. he doesn't have NFL looks) his salary is literally going to quintuple (5x, I had to look the word up to confirm)... and that throws off their salary structure of all the money they've spent on receiver and O-line... Rourke will have a lot of different pass catching options next year.

we don't know...

I highly doubt that... he already has a lucrative career in the financial sector, in Winnipeg... that's where I imagine his future is after football... maybe a guest coach during camp but I doubt full time.

Reading the o-line from left to right gives me warm feelings in my cockles... even my sub-cockles...

good band... but pretty boring half time show... Sheepdogs are probably big name enough for it... plus I like the Bombers history of a local act doing the half time show

Calgary may have been thin at QB that year but I don't think they ever started the TSN anchor at QB...

But the point that was made - which I completely agree with - is if he happens to get hurt in this game.... chances are he would be likely to get hurt in the West Final anyways (of course there's no guarantee of that)... then his replacement will get the full complement of first team reps heading into the WF... I understand your point, but I don't think there's any harm to getting Ellingson out there for at least a quarter or two. I think Zach starts the game (like he did in the Calgary finale last year)... he'll play maybe a quarter... put in Dru next and depending on how that goes maybe we see Prukop near the end of the game... that's my guess

other than how much he loves the sound of his own voice... he's actually not too bad anymore... now that he's not a paid Rider shill...

how, exactly, does one tie in the playoffs?

Lol… I knew it was obvious… thanks

It’s probably obvious and just slipping my mind… but who is RP?

With the riders officially eliminated tickets shouldn’t be hard to get… accommodations are the bigger issue… my wife and I are looking but probably won’t bother unless we get lucky and find something reasonable

Don’t forget… they were considered “all in” this year for a home grey cup… they believed coming into this season that the team they fielded this year was capable of winning it all 😂

So in a game that meant nothing for Calgary… and everything for sask with their season on the line… Stamps go out and ****-kick them… I truly love this version of the riders.

Fixed that for you…

If this game ends the way it's trending... going to be a boring-ass final week of the season with all playoffs seeds finalized

At this point in his career/life, you could probably make the case that football is his side hustle now... he'll be investment banking for 30 years after football is done

maybe not release him... if he's still under contract he would go to the highest bidder... Bombers are classy, but they're not dumb

good, I love it... pump up BC... they're the team to beat... please, everyone sleep on the Bombers... I don't know how this is possible that the back-to-back champs with a 14-3 record are somehow being overlooked... but the media is desperate for a new champ and they'll do all they can to pump someone else up... and I love it
