yup...the ott Oline guy was a late hit, and a certain penaly, but wasn't a pre meditated thing, nor an intent to break a leg or wreck a knee....but that's exactly what Marion's hit was, and the one previous to that as well where he went straight at that linemans leg....and not to condone what the Ott lineman did...but probably more than certain he took a shot where he seen one as a payback for the garbage that rider players do in the pile....Not certain that Robertson is one of those guys, but know for a fact from talking with current players who are on the filed on several teams that Marino and Lanier are guys who do it...as well as that dork Mak Henry tho he took his idiot show over to Jones in Edm...but obviously it's a culture there, and who knows where it originates from

Didn't think the play with Robertson was intent to injure.  It was an OL finishing a play.  It was a legal block, Robertson was in kind of an awkward position trying to move forward between the blocks and got his foot stuck under him.  I guess now there's sometimes a penalty called for being too far from the ball.

Craig Dickenson shows a lack of leadership and just makes excuses with his comments. 

To be fair that interview was made immediately after the game, it will be interesting to see if his stance changes once he reviews the game film and hears from O'Day and indirectly from the team's board of directors.  This goes beyond football and they may go over his head to remove the tarnish from their organization.

Riders could have attempted to get ahead of this today with some discipline announced. Nothing but crickets...

The franchise is incapable of keeping thier players in line. You look at the last 3 years and the laundry list of idiot, me first, dirty players, it's no surprise they have done nothing. It's a pattern. It's bad for the league, it's bad for the image of the CFL. 

 

Moreover, look at what the mellonheads are saying on RF. The Rider brand stinks more everyday.

Just WOW! Another bit of testimony to add to the file! A QB calling for a season suspension! 
But “the defence was upset” pffft. 

I would like the Riders to have tp pay Marino for the rest of the year and have that count against the cap. That would ensure that the team suffers for keeping the jackhole around when they knew who he was.

Dickinson said on Sportscage he will sit Marino this week no matter what the league decides. I’d embed the tweet but I’m too lazy to find it :)

The 4 games is actually 2 + 1+1 = 4  so this is going to be really hard to appeal

2 games for the Masoli hit

1 game for an earlier hit same game

1 game for racial/verbal slurr

0 games for celebrating it before the home crowd

What a punk, there is a portion of rider fans who didn’t feel like he even deserved a suspension. Talk about a bunch of classless hill billies.

Should be a lifetime ban. TSN should have the Marino cam when he comes back until the pos ends up out of the CFL for good.

No doubt Marino will be a marked man and out of the league by the end of the year. Okay- maybe Chris Jones might pick him up.

Given the math this is really the minimum they could have given him. Especially considering if he had the two  "intent to injure" hits in separate games he'd be looking at even more.

Then you have the fact that he got a 1 game suspension for being a racist *******. That's enough to sit you down for the year. This is Canada not the deep south. ****

The racist thing may be worse than the hit. There was enough evidence of him saying racist things that they could suspend him, must have been pretty bad. How do you keep a guy around after that? 

If a Bomber did this, I feel the mafia would cut him the next day. It is the Rider Clown Show so suspect they will rally to support him.

Once again the rider org will fail to meet any reasonable standard of accountability.
