WTF, indeed.

http://www.tsn.ca/roughriders-to-add-brouillette-bouka-1.861174 Yeah, a pretty strange development. Retires before TC but then signs on with the team in late September.

Not exactly. Besides, he's not the player he was before going south, anyway.

I think Muamba could've been that player - or at least damn close to it. He had to jet off the NFL and ruin that all, though.

Uh... This is a pic from the 2015 Banjo Bowl. Anyhoo, brutal news. That's a big loss to the D-line. Still can't help but scratch my head at how this all unfolded... A bit odd.

Meh, what happened under a different regime is not relevant to how the current one operates.

Nah, not necessarily. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the coaching staff knows what's best for player development.

In other words, basically nothing would be accomplished by having Davis run the jumbo package on 3rd & short.

The game time Davis needs is actual reps running the complete offense, which only happens in the event the Bombers are up significantly over an opponent. What would be accomplished with regard to his development by running short yardage plays? Reps in the jumbo package on 3rd & inches help that along how...?

Meh... Hard to fault the goalie on a pass the Jets give up constantly in their own end. Dano was terrible back-checking. Pretty typical pre-season game. Gotta say the upgrades to the arena are pretty damned sweet with a lot of attention to detail. The Observation Deck really opens things up in the 300 concourse.

What even happened to him? Did he get injured in the Banjo Bowl?

There isn't a QB plague...

The entire defense should be licking its chops at the prospect of facing a third string QB. At home with the crowd behind 'em, no less! My biggest concern is Powell. The front 7 will have to be at its collective best to contain him.

Saturday's game is in Regina. I do think the Stampeders' defense will be too much for the Riders handle, even with Glenn behind centre.

If the QUAR rating system is any indication, you're spot on - and I agree. https://www.cfl.ca/quar-quarterback-rating-ranking/ He's undoubtedly making his case for MOP. Not bad for a ham & egger game manager, eh!

What do you find irritating about it? I finished S01 on Saturday and it's up there with Breaking Bad as far as crazy goes. Can't wait for season 2.

From last week but worth posting: http://globalnews.ca/news/3745273/12-wholesale-sports-stores-in-western-canada-closing-after-30-years/ Only one location in Winnipeg, but pretty much everything is on sale from 10-30% until the end of December.

Fingers crossed it's 24-0 Bombers at the half and Davis gets a look to start the third quarter.

The Eskimos and the Lions are both in trouble, IMO. The Stampeders look more and more mortal with each passing week.

Derek Dennis was the target of Demond Washington's classless and disgusting act last night: http://3downnation.com/2017/09/16/riders-ol-derek-dennis-target-of-ticats-demond-washington-spit/ It'd be nice to see the league slap a fine on Washington. There's no place in sports for that kind of nasty ****.
