Evans 16/16 250ish yards and 2 rush TDs. I was wrong when I said he would be HAM day 1 starter, but was right to think he should be.

Hard to tell who has more fans there

It's about 70/30.

But fair play to the Hamilton fans, the noise is 50/50.

Masoli will have to walk on water to regain his starting position next year. He has been too inconsistent.

Dane won't do that again next week. That's a "coming off the bench and surprising the other team" game. 

Did anyone else see this?? Insane!

Chris Edwards and Duke Williams are two dummies cut from the same cloth

It’s unfortunate that Williams does the dumb shite he does as he is extremely talented.

Agreed. Not a guy I’d want on my team anymore, personally. Was hoping the NFL experience would have humbled him (especially since he was told more than once to knock that stuff off down there) but obviously it had the opposite effect. 
 

Ultra talented, ultra dumb though sadly.

he's a douchebag, a man-baby of low character. riders should just move on from him.

They won't. He's in the perfect place for him. He's playing for a coach who admits he can't control his players and a fan base who revels in having douchebags represent them.

Sincerely, you might be the d-bag in this particular scenario.

Holy **** thst is insane. 

Career over, you're gone. 

 

I need some context here. Why are players and fans that close? Who is not where they are supposed to be? 

"According to 6ix Buzz TV, the incident was precipitated by a Ticats fan spitting beer in the face of an Argo player as they were leaving the field after their 27-19 loss. Additionally the fans were apparently waving flags close to players heads and directing verbal insults their way."

Sounds on brand for Hamilton fans.

What a mess this is.

 

New CFL rule to be announced, retroactive to yesterday, "players are allowed to climb into stands to fight fans".

More bad optics for a league that cannot afford any.

Yeah with a bigger crowd and everything.

Not good.

This is soooo ******* disappointing... we all love the CFL here and want it to thrive... bullshit like this sets us back

Wait, I'm hearing the players were invited into the stands by MLSE. No further action required.

Actually, there will be no punishments handed out....as currently there was no rule against that sorta thing.....

Fits their team culture to a tee.
