    This is a rule of the site, but it is mostly around legalities of not trying to steal content and making sure people who create content get the revenue / clicks / views for producing it.  If Zach wants to post an article he wrote on this site, its his right as its his content.
    As for posting articles here, I have no problem with Zach promoting content here.  As many have said, there is very little CFL content in even the major news sites these days, so if its a passion, I see no harm in doing what they are doing.  It promotes the CFL and Winnipeg sports scene, which is great.    Without any knowledge of traffic or the business model for Bonfire sports, I highly doubt they are getting rich off of it.
    It might trend to spam if he starts posting a new thread daily which simply links to an article, but that is not at all what I've seen so far.  There is a stickied thread where he posts videos, and this is the first "dedicated" thread I've seen or remember.
    Go do your thing Zach and let the haters hate.

    What’s the difference between what I shared a what a journalist writes? Because I’m not attached to a newspaper I’m an imposter? You don’t recognize articles from legitimate news sites like Bonfire? What exactly is your criteria for “real” journalism? Perhaps you’d prefer me to just cut and paste future articles as a forum post? 
     
    Also, what am I advertising? I’m sharing an article that I think is discussion-worthy on a forum.

    I am still perplexed by your reasoning. Don’t fans on this site want people to hear their opinion? What’s the difference between that and a blog post? Only difference I can see is that a blog post is longer and accessible by a link. Either way, my article is not a blog post. And by the way, I read 3Down and their stuff is getting a lot better. John Hodge is a friend of mine and his pieces are top-notch. Also, how do you expect CFL content to grow if not from people that aspire to hone their craft, even if they’re fans? It’s not like the newspaper industry is growing. This is the new way people consume news. Yes some of the stuff on 3Down is fluff but the newspapers are dying. Free Press is the only newspaper in the country that sends a cfl reporter to away games. That’s Jeff Hamilton. It’s a sad state of affairs. I’m trying to grow the cfl by writing about it and talking about it on our show. If you don’t want to read or listen to my stuff because I’m not a trained reporter, all the power to you. But you don’t need to disparage it.

    These 3 Bomber rookie receivers really excite me - Wheatfall, Wilson, & Clercius (makes you wonder what will happen when Shoen comes back next year). I don't remember a year when we had 3 great rookie receivers like this. Our offense might be hard to stop!

    My thoughts on the game:
    - Highly entertaining
    - Rider defense is strong
    - Lauther lost this one (he needs to be replaced, but not till after Banjo Bowl)
    - Riders got a P.I. call (Montreal player should receive an Oscar for that flop). Command Centre stayed with the call on the field; which tells me that, going forward, the Command Centre will go with the call on the field in almost all cases.
    - West is tightening up!

    He can't be any worse than what we've been trotting out there so far this year (well .. I'm telling myself that at any rate).
    A complete aside, I can't remember the last time we were absolutely decimated by injuries like this.  If we somehow manage to turn things around over the back half of the year it'll be a testament to this team's perseverance.
