August 5, 201411 yr Riders announce WR Taj Smith violated a condition of his release from assault incident last year. As a result, he won't play Thursday #CFL — Lee Jones (@LeeJonesCTV) August 5, 2014
August 5, 201411 yr When is that actually going to trial? After everyone retires over the next 5 years & nobody cares anymore? The Saskatchewan Roughriders: Doing Their Bit To Rid The Streets Of Somalian Drug Lords.
August 5, 201411 yr What a moron... Take the boy out the ghetto but cant take the ghetto out of the boy.. Shame for riders, bully for us
August 5, 201411 yr Way to go Taj. How ******* hard is it to follow simple rules? This guy must be a real piece of ……. He's already thought to be an idiot, now he's going out of his way to prove it? Talent…but do they really need that crap? Time to mahaul his ass out of town.
August 5, 201411 yr Smith being out of the game fills me with.........happiness, particularly because the turkey did it to himself. I believe it was Einstein who said that the two most common elements in the universe were hydrogen and stupidity.

August 5, 201411 yr Wow that group of receivers just got a whole lot weaker... So of course we're going to piss this game away now. Everything falling in the Bombers favour, short week for the Riders, guys nicked up, best receiver out of the lineup, perfect conditions for the Bombers to lay an egg. God I hope that's just being beaten down by the last few years talking.

August 5, 201411 yr Nice timing! I wonder if O'Shea decided to take Taj out for beers this past weekend and oops, missed curfew

Let's hope the trend continues! *knocks on wood* And every week there's someone posting about how everyone isn't pissing rainbows. That said, the one week I picked Bombers to win in the pick ems they lost. So I now I pick them to lose out of stubbornness.

August 5, 201411 yr The other receivers were making good catches last week so I don't think it's a big blow for them.

I love this team they're playing so well and look completely different from years past... but I keep waiting for the **** to hit the fan because that's all we know lately.

I love this team they're playing so well and look completely different from years past... but I keep waiting for the **** to hit the fan because that's all we know lately. I'm slowing gaining faith in them. I actually had some belief that they were going to score on the final drive last week. Winning our next game after the Edmonton debacle helped me a lot.

I'm slowing gaining faith in them. I actually had some belief that they were going to score on the final drive last week. Winning our next game after the Edmonton debacle helped me a lot. I had faith last week. A co-worker texted me offering a bet (I already lost a bet to him in the Edmonton loss), with just under 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter when the bombers were down 26-20. I took his bet, even if I was a bit nervous on the last throw when it looked like he threw the ball straight up into the air. Some losses will come at some point, but I say just enjoy the ride, there are way too many people on here who seem to expect or want the bombers to lose (not directed at you or any other individual, just a general observation, the chat room is probably the worst place, the vocal minority playing chicken little waiting for the sky to fall) Just enjoy winning some games, cause we all know it's been a while. ***** when they hit a 5 game losing skid, but for now just enjoy the games.
August 5, 201411 yr Here is an article about Taj from the NY Times. Pretty F'd up life. 8 kids and no mention of a pop. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/24/sports/football/visions-of-the-past-propel-colts-taj-smith-forward.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&
August 5, 201411 yr So what is the actual deal with him missing the game? Did the team suspend him? Did the league suspend him? Is he in jail? Is he not allowed to leave the city and will still play home games?
