Welcoming Other Fans
Thanks for the post Tehedra. I've always thought one way to minimize being a keyboard ninja is to use your real name, first and last. Now and then I have a fleeting moment on suggesting we do it here. If we all worked on the honour system and revealed our real names, I'm thinking some of us might be a bit more careful with our words and opinions. The risk obviously is not playing by the honour system or compromising one's privacy when it's legitimately needed or having a nut bar on the worldwide web using names to do stupid things. Oh well, one can dream in humanity.

Not me, it's fun to play the decision maker. No risk involved.

Injury Report
I may not be interpreting you correctly but to me inserting Dressler back into the lineup is not a tough decision. Yes, who comes out is, but there is no way you don't dress Dressler. Arguably the best player on our team when healthy.

Bringing the Riders back to earth and their fans back to reality ...
Not true. Don't they have professional hockey as well? No wait, they have the the Blades and the Pats., nice. (I do like Junior hockey but not that much).

I was thinking a similar thing. Hamilton has gone all in already, so why not double down and try out Colin Kaepernick to maybe get a different reaction?

Furthermore, what does this say about June Jones? I assume he had a say in wanting to bring in Briles? You'd think he'd want to surround himself with experienced credible CFL coaches.

The Most Important Game: Wpg @ Regina
What makes him great Mosiac? His football acumen or him as a human being? imho, how you achieve something is as important to what you achieve.

The Most Important Game: Wpg @ Regina
Which is translating into what? Vince Young? Oh right second year rebuild. Not to mention the fact he just seems to be a complete jerkface that likes attention. "win with some class' is my favorite. My second favorite is Dickenson's look on his face. Next year when you go 18-0 and win the Grey Cup, I still wouldn't want him.

My take is you have Chris Jones and we don't. That automatically makes us a better team.

Did he fire himself before someone else did it for him?

Derel Walker
I just find sometimes his worth on our team is more than some think . The fact of how multidimensional he is. He probably could play DB if asked. At times, he just can't be stopped. When I went to the Edmonton game last year, they could not cover him. Unfortunately he only lasted the first half due to injury. Yes his health, big question mark, but can't question his consistent productivity when on the field. I feel Dressler in a way is like Messam who a lot were writing off before his time had expired.

Please no. I'd sign Dressler to an extension, 2 years. Yes risky but worth the risk imo. However, this might be all a moot point as one could predict Dressler calling it a career sooner than later due to his incurred injuries over time and wanting to begin his next chapter in life wherever that may be, football analyst/coach?

GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
Imo see JuranBoldenRules post above for a good explanation. To paraphrase, Lapo trying to outsmart the defensive coordinator on almost every play. Don't get me wrong, LaPo knows what he's doing, he's a smart football guy, but we all have our quirks and it seems his is he gets so engrossed matching wits with the opponents DC that he sometimes misses the simplicity of what to call.

GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
For those who don't live in Edmonton (and for those that do, a friendly reminder), it's a glorious day today. The birds are chirping, the sun is out and the smell of Eskibow loss is in the air. The excuses are rolling out already, e.g., 'fun game against our practice roster'. Welcome to the weekend Shmoe fans. We've earned being a sore winner :-)

Addison Richards Retires
Having a 13 year old son who is heading into his sixth year playing football and aspires to play in the NFL (I know, lofty goal of his), this really concerns me. I'm hoping I'm (and others) are giving him the tools not to be tempted.

Foggy? You're being kind.

GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
Yes, but for seven games straight they keep on finding ways to win , relying heavily on their depth playing with a ton of confidence. Therefore this may tell us we won't dominate. This is a game where you would think it's going to come down to the wire (read Medlock). p.s., I'll take a blow out by the Blue as well. Walking into the office this Friday is going to go a couple of ways depending on the result. So make it happen Blue so I can deploy my sore winner approach with my Eskiblow colleagues to welcome in their weekend.

Odds and Sods - Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Mr. Westerman, lesson here, if you feel the need to take a roughing penalty, only take it if the ball is on our three. A yard and half penalty! You would think they would tag something on to the ensuing kick-off when a roughing the QB penalty occurs so close to the goal line . Just seems the penalty in this case doesn't fit the crime. (not that I'm complaining)

Bruce Johnson Released
Captain obvious, It's a ruthless sport with little to no security if you aren't the alpha male leading the pack. Good luck to him, he'll latch on with another team.
