"I've got too much talent to be sitting on the sideline" - @SSKRoughriders Trent Richardson
Dave Naylor - Just my opinion: Chances that Johnny Manziel plays in the CFL? 80 per cent. Chances that Colin Kaepernick plays in the CFL? 5 per cent. #CFL
CFL - "Blue and Gold wins uni madness... only colour left to add is Grey"
CFL - James Wilder Jr. - His 331 yards rushing in the past two games is the most since Jon Cornish rushed for 338 yards in 2013. Wilder Jr.’s 331 yards ranks 17th all-time among two-game rushing totals in CFL history.

Rick Zamperin: Which Canadian pro sports team has the best fan base?
The list of 21 teams includes all nine CFL franchises, the NHL’s seven Canadian-based teams, as well as the Blue Jays, Raptors and MLS entries in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
??Does everybody see how this poll is seriously flawed and a joke?
Andrew Harris - 9 years ago today I switched my number from 20 to 33 and my attitude from hungry to RELENTLESS. Miss you brother?? #HeartOfAChampion
Terry Jones- I wonder what that bobbled punt rouge that cost Ottawa game will end up meaning ... to Ottawa, to B.C., to Edmonton, to Saskatchewan ...
??Actually, to me, Drew Willy looked the best that he has in a long time...not great, but capable.
Herb Zurkowsky - Ottawa keeps blowing games in the fourth quarter. Coaching deficiencies there, no doubt
ChrisO’Leary - Highlight of an otherwise unremarkable night comes in the 4th when Duane Forde wishes Rod Black a happy 85th bday.
??Famous last words? :
Kavis Reed - "There is parity in the league"
??BLM shows to be a bit of a dink when, after throwing a TD pass to make it a 41-11, he’s waving his arms like a high school cheerleader. Be humble for a change B. B humble.

Derek Taylor - Hajrullahu 9-for-12 from 50+ in his career. #argosfootball
-Average missed tackle % for a LB is 14%. Eskimos three starters tonight far exceed that: Mulumba 32% Konar. 23% Ladler 20%
??Still being a dink...Jim Bender - “The #bombers now in position for another missed FG. “
Drew Edwards- #Ticats RB @CJ_Gable refused to speak to the media after the loss to #Argos.
??Lame PI on Demond Washington in that Hamilton game. Sheesh.
??CFL record in sight. Andrew Harris 84 catches, a new career high. CFL record is 102.
Ed Tait - 0: Points by the Eskimos in the opening 30 minutes, marking the first time in 10 years they had been shut out in the first half.
Chris Randle - "That was probably one of the biggest plays I've had... thus far."

“Across the board, we said we were going to come out here 44 strong and everybody was going to contribute and we did that tonight,” said Harris, who racked up 135 all-purpose yards in the win. “A home playoff game in Winnipeg is something we need to accomplish, whether that be for first place or second place. We’re gunning for that.”
44STRONG
Drew Edwards - The Ticats were penalized 15 times for 135 yards while the Argonauts were flagged on just seven occasions for 105 yards. Hamilton took nine of the last 11 penalties, including a number with the game in the balance.
Herb Zurkowsky - the Als have lost three straight under interim head coach Reed — the latest, Calgary’s 59-11 evisceration Friday night at McMahon Stadium. Montreal has been outscored 121-41 in that span.
Vast majority of Alouettes appear to have given up...
3downnation - Chris Randle deserves to be named a CFL all-star at cornerback this season and should be one of the first pending free agents Winnipeg locks up this winter.
- Tristan Okpalaugo had his best game as a Blue Bomber on Saturday, recording five quarterback pressures and a sack.
??There’s the Rider Nation.
And the RedBlack Nation.
And now, the ruination...
??John Hodge brings up the point of the ruination of the Alouettes franchise and brings up a valid point. Would the Alouettes go all out and aim for Paul LaPolice as a pivotal piece for 2018?
Terry Jones - Eskimos with 30,524 to make an average of 33,517 per game. Saskatchewan, in the new Mosaic Stadium, has sold out every game at 33,300.
Drew Edwards - Saskatchewan Roughriders draft pick Cameron Judge unleashed an epic Twitter rant on Saturday night that included a retirement announcement and an admission that he “never went to class in college. I smoked weed after practice and workouts, went home played video games until I couldn’t play anymore.”
David Naylor - Significant cap component to Hamilton dealing Gable. Need to shed salary due to bonuses paid to QB Masoli for starts. #CFL #Ticats
