On big Stan: It’s not a debate - he’s still elite and getting paid appropriately but reasonably. Unless he tried to stay after his play dropped off, there’s not going to be a reason to move on from him. On his replacement: Going year to year is fine - but obviously doesn’t let us train his replacement in-house. But like others have said, the most likely replacement is probably on another team and we lure them away after his retirement. On when that tragic day comes: Im sure Stanley considers retirement each off-season at this point. We have an amazing thing going on right now and I think that our older vets probably talk about this as a group. To keep it going as long as they can. I think that once one decides to retire or there’s a drop off, we might see a domino effect of retirements. On Wally: Wally was certainly cut-throat, but obviously isn’t perfect on his decisions. I am less certain that he thought Harris was done than he simply didn’t want to make him the highest paid RB while committing to national at the position. It was the perfect thing for us to do at the time, though.

My thing with jerseys is to only buy players that I’ve seen play. My first was a Charlie Roberts with the 75 anniversary patch. Love that jersey. I think I’m up to 7 total.

I bought a home Collaros this year. And then I won a jersey contest on Twitter and chose the away Bighill:

I was convinced Zach should have retired before even signing with the Riders. What he’s done has been spectacular.

It's what I thought we'd be seeing out of him all year. Absolutely fabulous to see it come through in the biggest game of the year (so far).

Sask definitely low balled him.

Bighill came back later in the off-season, I think. A lot of teams' cap space was already used up. I think that's re-writing history a bit. We made him the highest offer (highest paid in the league at that point) - and he told TO it would cost 10 or 15 more to convince him to go there, at which point they bailed. He's definitely signed for less since that point though.

That’s pretty much every day for me.

In the Uber on the way to the watering hole. Should have time to be seated with my drinkie before kick off. Lets go Blue.

We win today, we have the season series with the Stamps and basically have first in the West locked up, imo. How dare you.

BC shutting down the Riders settled it for me. Us and Calgary are on a separate tier than the rest of the league.

I think Zach’s going to be riled up after last week. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him light it up - much like in our game against BC when all eyes were on Rourke in the lead up.

We’ve literally heard nothing at any point through all of this

Tell me how it goes! Been debating about taking my 4 year old.

I don't know if I've read the whole thread, but that obviously isn't a widely held take. Like, no.

Uhmm..... who said that?

I normally don't give Suitor that hard of a time - I was a Rod Black hater and everything else seems great by comparison. But that was a excuse filled game by Suitor. It was constant and it was one-sided.

Yeah, why is Rourke still in?

What did you think about Fajardo? Well his knee…

******* kickers lately, wth?

They don’t have a shot this year.

That’s just a good idea.

This was gold, Jerry, gold!

He’s frustrated because he’s a big ol’ baby and acts like that after every poor play.

Cottoy having a game.
