Be careful, someone on this board gave me the gears when I said the Bombers were a motivating factor in getting vaccinated. Seriously though, it’s nice to know the Bombers will be approved to play. If being fully immunized is the requirement, I’d like to see IGF at 100% capacity from the start.

I want nothing more than to be at IGF with 33,000 screaming fans telling the Riders how much they ****ing suck.

What’s the logic behind us not playing Ottawa at all? Seems strange.

There’s always one ******* with the holier than thou attitude. I said it was a big reason why, not the only reason. Not that it’s any of your business anyways. Maybe save your contempt for the actual anti vaxxers. Better yet, maybe you should relax and not force your opinions down everyone’s throat.

Not going to lie, the possibility of seeing the Bombers is a huge reason I decided to get vaccinated. I can’t ****ing wait to be back at IGF.

EA makes garbage games anyways - but EA used to make arena football games. I never understood how the arena league could have a game made when the CFL couldn’t. I would’ve liked to have seen the CFL partner with 2K for a fun arcade style game.

Absolutely, not to mention the impact a CFL video game could have on potential young fans. I know growing up my friends would have loved a CFL video game and it likely would have made them life long fans.

Bombers finally sign a star receiver and he retires.. I’d laugh if it wasn’t sad.

The day the CFL drops 3 down football is the day I’ll stop being a die hard fan. I’ll likely still go to and watch Bomber games, but my investment would decrease significantly if we adopt American rules.

It seems like most provinces are aiming to have all adults given at least one dose by June. If that’s the case, why can’t we have fans?

Damn I grew up watching Dave, Matt, Chris, and Jock. It’s news like this that you really do hate to see. It was a faux pas, but my most memorable Schultz moment was I believe Michael Bishops first start for the Bombers in 2009. We won 13-12 after the Argos missed a game winning FG. Schultz went on and on about we masterfully “iced” the kicker, only we didn’t. The Argos got a procedure penalty that pushed the kick back.

I mean, isn’t that fan attendance kind of a provincial thing? I’m sure the CFL will allow as many fans as the province will let them have.

Man I know the CFL didn’t have a good plan last year. But at the same time, the federal government has been pissing money away left and right. Yet, they couldn’t spare to help the CFL? Seems crazy.

Forget sex.. this is the type of news that keeps me happy.

I mean after Streveler’s disaster against the Rams (he was used horribly), you’d have to think there’s a decent chance he’s back in the CFL by the time the season starts. Mitchell is a nice signing. We’ve been missing a game breaking receiver. Hopefully he’s recovered from his Achilles tear.

Good god those names suck. I don’t like any of them.

Arbuckle and Nichols switching teams is interesting. I wonder what happened with Arbuckle in Ottawa.

Brandin Cooks has been a perennial 1000 yard reciever and is on his fourth team. Watson didn’t make him look like anything.

I thought this said Jovon Johnson at first and I was extremely confused.

No we got **** kicked by Montreal or someone like that and he had Brink kneel down to end the game. Your story happened too, but we also kneeled when getting creamed.

I didn’t realize Lawler was our leading receiver with only 637 yards.

Madani is hardly someone who is in the corner of the CFL. I couldn’t care less what that hack has to say.

The only thing better is our Grey Cup win.

Okay so here’s the rub, 80% like the name and think it’s honourable while 20% think it’s racist. Why are we caving to a vocal minority? In this case, the vast majority of people who have a say in this matter support the decision. Everything offends someone, if we need a consensus to make a decision there won’t be any names in sports(or decisions made in general). If 80% isn’t enough, what is? Another thing that annoys me about these conversations is that it’s (mostly) white people with no stake in the matter telling everyone else how they need to think. I agree with JT in that if the Inuit people do not like the name that it should be changes. But I don’t think it should be changed if four people consider it honourable and one considers it to be offensive. I don’t know if the Eskimos have talked with tribes in the same way that North Dakota has, but they certainly should. My personal feeling is that context is important. A football player wears his jersey with pride. I would personally consider it to be an honourable thing to be named after a team. I also believe that using terms like Eskimo in other ways allows the term to evolve and it can take away the racist stigma attached to it. However, as I stated earlier it’s the opinion of the Inuit people that matters. I’m personally not Inuit, so my opinion doesn’t mean a thing here. If a strong majority support the name, it should stay. If a strong majority do not support the name, it should go. It’s really that simple to me.

I’m not either, the 01 GC will always live on in infamy and I probably won’t ever get over it. However, he picked fights with Rider fans and coined the Banjo Bowl nickname. That alone removes him from being my least favourite. I’ll have to go with EJ Kuale there. He was awful, committed stupid penalties, tried to justify it and MOS kept him in the lineup. God I didn’t think MOS would make it back then. As far as a favourite is concerned, the obvious ones are Khari, Milt, and Doug Brown. However, my favourites were always Charles Roberts and Mike Sellers. Those were two guys I could never get tired of watching. I wish Roberts had the work ethic and mindset of Milt, he could’ve gone down as the GOAT RB in the CFL if he did.
