  1. Any time a Canadian OL is available at this time of year... I'm skeptical... anyone worth their salt is automatically scooped up by now... but we're one of the few teams that can be patient with an OL prospect... so to me this seems like a no risk, high reward move... I'll take it.
  2. If I could chose only one of Eli (assuming he's fully "cleared" to play all games) or Dobson... I'll take Eli all day... we hope Dobson will be a great player.... we KNOW Eli is a great player
  3. serious question... is it possible this could just be tongue-in-cheek and they're actually friends?...
  4. The new jerseys are ok, not great, not terrible... I agree with most that the large W on the front is kind of a turn off... I prefer numbers on front of a football jersey... I'm sure they'll look fine when we're kicking the Riders left, right, and center out of IG field....
  5. alternate jersey.... I'm curious to know what will make it unique... while still being royal blue... should be interesting
  6. crazy to think that if not for one special teams tackle... we might not have O'Shea, Walters and looking at a 30+ year drought... It can't be overstated how huge that tackle was
  7. I actually know the Jr Ernie... not that well, admittedly... more friend of a friend, but we've hung out in the past.
  8. bearpants replied to Noeller's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Over an 18 game season that 4176 yards, 42-43 TDs and 12-13 picks... other than the slightly high int totals... that's a borderline MOP season in today's era.
  9. lol, this article literally says nothing that we don't already know... of course guys are disappointed the whole gang can't come back... that's business
  10. obviously that's a high standard but not really the point I'm making... this stuff is awesome but does it translate to ability on the field.... at no point did I ever say he was not a good football player So to clarify, I'd also happily take him on my team if he was reliably getting 500 yards and 5 TDs yearly ... or now for that matter... athletic Canadians, especially U of M grads, are always good in my books
  11. Don't get me wrong... this stuff this guy does is really, really impressive... but call me when he's a 1000+ yard receiver and 10+ TD guys... that's the kind of athlete I want on my team
  12. TBH... I kind of secretly wanted the Bombers not to be first just to see some heads explode around here 🤯
  13. Funny, I was going to say almost this exact same thing... except my one caveat would be that it only applies after the 3 min warning... so you can't win a game when you miss a FG (or punt) through the end zone in a tie game. I think you might have the first point backwards... we keep it at 110 (meters) and it would decrease the field size to approx. 100 yards... would also mean it only takes 9.144 yards (according to my google search) to get a first down, thus more offense. EDIT: Nevermind, brain not working properly on that math Both really good ideas though
  14. Automatic ban to anyone that posts a pic of a player wearing #85 pre-Milt era...
  15. So Bowman signing with the Elks was just a really, really long one-day contract type of situation...
  16. I have mixed feelings about this game: 1. the Jets ****-kicking Vegas is ever so satisfying 2. If Vegas misses the playoff while being 10M over the cap... LOL all day long and they can F*** off 3. Though I would never cheer against the Jets, I don't mind seeing them lose to sell at the deadline. 4. I just don't see how it benefits the Jets long term to hold on to Copp and Stats... only to finish 9th in the west this year (or 8th with the prize of 4 games against Colorado)... I'd rather see those guys get traded and have assets to show for them since they are both extremely unlikely to be back next year... 5. Keeping them to fight for a playoff spot just helps the Jets remain a middling team
  17. two hours eh... should be a great 20 minutes of content
  18. Welcome... if you're ever looking for insightful, unbias analysis that you want to feature on the pre-game show.... you probably won't find it here 😂
  19. https://3downnation.com/2022/02/23/why-canadian-ol-liam-dobson-getting-drafted-by-the-usfl-is-a-big-deal/ this is interesting... assuming the USFL doesn't fold... it could be two years before we have a chance at Liam Dobson
  20. I think this is a good hire... I've always thought by rider media standards, he managed to stay fairly impartial.
  21. sounds like a good one... I'll fire this up on my next long drive (next week). Thanks!
  22. No doubt Fajardo is massively disrespected here... I don't think the guy is a superstar... doesn't throw well enough for that... but if you surround him with the right pieces... you can absolutely win a championship with him... unfortunately for Sask, they don't have the right pieces
  23. based on what some other previous/current Rider media is like... Taylor was extremely impartial... The bolded statement is impossible... there will never be another Bob and we should not ever expect there to be... he is a legend that will forever be unmatched... we're lucky and thankful that we got him for so long.
  24. So basically you're confirming that only Calgary and Montreal have reliable back up QBs
  25. Why does this name sound familiar? Has he been in camp before?
