douchebag /ˈdo͞oSHbaɡ/ 1. a small syringe for douching the hooha, especially as a contraceptive measure. 2. an obnoxious or contemptible person (typically used of a man). 3. Darian Durant Raise your hand if you're a douchebag.

Or... he acted on something that he believes is important, and accepted that there might be consequences as a result. Believe it or not, some people actually would rather do what they think is right, even if it costs them personally. We need more of those people.

I will have to see a full assessment of every single players' hair, and the hotness of their mothers, before I agree to any of the above.

I propose that the word douchebag be changed to Durant. As in that dude is a total Durant.

Just another one of those games. It's tough at this point and if you ain't on, you ain't winning. I'm not worried.

Durant showed his true colours. Like Booch said, I don't think he ever intended to play, It was a set up to get the $70,000. Now he's mocking the Bombers & fanbase on twitter. I hope he wants to retire a Rider & the Bombers screw him over. What bothers me the most about Durant doing what he did was the fact that it was Kavis Reed who cut him before his $150,000 performance bonus was due. The Bombers never did him wrong. They signed him in good faith & were fully prepared for him to be the backup qb. They weren't going to cut him & they treated him fairly. Then he knifes the team in the back. Why? He's just a snake.

What's going on with the Jets is great and I'm really enjoying the playoff run, but the weather is getting better and it's time for Blue Bomber football people, let the hype train begin

OK I'll get back to you in 20 years.

I think it's awesome that May Long and TC coincide this year. Forecast of sunshine and 26 for Monday!

people who know they've done shitty things will grasp at any straw to try and make themselves feel justified in their shitty behaviour.

It works in our favour that Trouba doesn't put up big numbers. You can question the value of points totals in determining how good a defenceman plays but it still plays a huge role in contract negotiations.

Do you honestly believe this is true?

yeah if he is disgruntled...not sure why he takes it out on a team that had nothing to do with his wrong doings. The fact tho he is saying negative things about the team..fanbase...mocking the Grey Cup drought is just wayyyy off base and classless...

Thank you all for the welcome! We are descendants of The DeRoss Clan of Scotland, a fiesty bunch. Will be sure to visit The Ross Museum when we get up there. Regards, Bud Ross

Jets reading their press clippings. Just handed the series to Vegas. Big uphill battle now.

His petulant retaliatory behaviour on Twitter the last two days is actually sickening. There's no defending or justifying what he's done. You're done with football...? That's fine. But show some goddamned class and be a ******* man about it. What kind of self-respecting professional athlete bails on the one team who gave you the opportunity to continue your CFL career, greedily keep money you absolutely don't deserve, and then proceed to take childish digs at that very team...? What a pathetic, disgraceful, *****-made piece of ****.

https://www.bluebombers.com/family-day/ As a father of two young boys, I am irrationally excited about this. SpongeBob! Great marketing idea for the Bombers. I hope it is a huge success. My only gripe would be that maybe a Rider game isn't the best family friendly setting. 😉

I made the mistake of skimming this and thought I read Blue and Gold.... nearly had a heart attack lol .

I certainly can. Some decisions are right, even though they have an exorbitant cost as a consequence. An example was Leslie Mahafee's decision to not torture her friend ant the behest of Carla Homolka and Paul Bernardo. She said,"No. Some things are worth dying for" and they killed her. Rosa Parks was arrested, assaulted and jailed for her refusal to go to the back of the bus. The list goes on and on. Money does not define what is important.

I hope Zach Mahoney sticks around just so that we can post this all year:

Maybe the WH goes back to Rocketman instead of Chairman after today's suspended talks with the South Koreans

there's one reason why we should be holding our heads high for getting this far. Vegas has no real rookies, and so they make far fewer mistakes. Connor and Laine are super young and are going to make mistakes, it's just part of the game. But we have the brighter future for sure, as Connor and Laine are only going to get better. If we can keep this core together. I am already looking forward to the total domination we should be experiencing next year with these young guys getting all of this playoff experience. It feels like the Oilers in 1983.

Could be difficult given their salary, production and contract details. Little is also under a No-Move clause until after 2020, which then becomes a modified no-trade. Perreault is under a modified no-trade as well.

At this point I'm confident Demski, Wolitarsky, and Simonise will be on the opening day roster. Thera-Plamondon and Tyrone Pierre are pretty much exclusively special teams guys (but could make the roster as the fourth NI receiver based on that). LaFrance may factor into the receiver picture at times, meaning we only dress one backup NI receiver. Petermann and Henry could both use some practice roster time, IMO.

True. Not going to be able to keep everyone.

No way he gets 8M. That's too high.

Rookie camp schedule is out

Will still come down to a huge pay day I think.

I hope Mike doesn't like me... or Rich will cut me here. LOL!

I won't be surprised if those two will be the next cuts... that's the dreaded "Mike-Liked" curse 😁

True, but maybe he values other things over said career. Again, sometimes doing the right thing is costly.

I've been once and it was a great time.

This just out from Ed Tait: https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/05/15/positional-preview-quarterbacks-3/ Oh Yeah!

There have been some players recently who were released after free agency began - I don't imagine that was expected.

Well bettman needs to make this a series to appease the owners. Ive notice a distinct bias in reffing during the first four games of most series. Usually to keep one team running away with the series.

Let's do this, I've got the tunes ready, I've got Anna and the King ready

Hi Bud. Thanks for the rundown. Right now it would appear that Alex Ross has the inside track on the backup QB job but a lot can change between now and June 14. I know this coaching staff likes consistency above all else, especially from the QB position. So Alex is going to have to come in and perform every day. After spending a year with the Lions, expectations will be higher than those for a raw rookie. We need a strong backup and it would be great if Alex could be that guy. He has a huge opportunity in front of him.

personally i dont even wanna see it. Im not a instatwittergram guy any how. But nothing good will come out of seeing a guy act like an ass clown like that. On to rookie camp, and training camp. Back to bomber news for me.

I think he was trying to type #ForThe$

Tell me Im not the only one who thinks when and if a team runs into QB trouble at some point this year Durants family condition is repaired at he comes out of retirement....for the the right price.

Durant chose fatherhood over football. Fine. It was probably time. Then, where a scenario presented itself for a great teaching moment for the future, father Durant fumbles the ball. Big time. Is this how you teach morals to your first born? Doubles double reneged on a deal, a promise, and with that poor thought process, traded his honour in a cowardly, non-grown up way...he avoided the situation. It was easier that way. Respect and honour are not easily won, but they sure are quickly lost. And lost them he did. That, is what Durant ‘deserves’.

Take a look at the date of the tweet.

What's so surprising here? Selfish player, selfish person. I am not one bit shocked, par for the course.

Always thought that Durant was about as smart as a bag of hammers but that would be an insult to the hammers, having said that he did fleece the Bombers out of 70k.

Maybe. I mean perhaps it took him a long time to master the skill. He went to UNC and got a degree in African American studies which is fine in and of itself but given that UNC had a multi year investigation into that program because athletes were taken fake courses in that program or ones where the work was done for them, maybe it took Darian longer than the start of kindergarten to learn how to write his name.

I started listening but i just couldn't listen to that BS.
