August 13, 20204 yr comment_482606 Just having something that means that much to me, to look forward to each week.....it's taken a huge emotional toll on me. Having hockey back is cool and all, but even if the Jets and Oilers were still alive, it doesn't mean as much to me as CFL does. Not even close.
August 13, 20204 yr comment_482613 Find I am out more especially during the weekend where during the season I would rather stay in and watch football.

August 17, 20204 yr comment_482821 So what's stopping provincial govts from giving loans. Quebec gave cirque du soleil 200 mill and it's US owned. Divide contributions between BC AB SK MB ON QC. What am I missing here ?

I mean maybe Alberta would throw in some cash if the Edmonton team called themselves the Oilers and the CFL started tweeting about how climate change is bullshit and oil and gas is just the best thing ever, but short of that....

August 23, 20204 yr comment_483308 More on Hardrick: I feel like complaining,” began Hardrick from his offseason home in Lincoln, Nebraska, “but then that wouldn’t help the situation and half of this is having a positive mindset.“That news on Monday… Monday hurt, man. I thought Coach O’Shea put it in perfect words (in his address to the team via Zoom) when he said it was kind of like a death in the family, but it wasn’t.”That’s the thing about any conversation with Hardrick – invariably you feel uplifted afterward. It’s what O’Shea mentioned the other day, both to the team and to the media later – now is the time more than ever to be a good teammate.And that might just best describe Hardrick.They key is staying positive. This happened. None of us planned for this, but it happened and we can’t change it now. Now we’ve got to attack it. Any time adversity comes, you’ve got to bring it. That’s my mindset.“And if somebody needs help, we’re a band of brothers, man. Let’s make it happen.”Marcus Sayles release - the Vikings drafted 3 corners and 2 safeties. 👁🗨 Still, I don’t think Sayles got a good chance.https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/08/22/first-10-positive-mindset/
August 31, 20204 yr comment_483898 Now that the Jets have been out for a couple of weeks does aanyone really care about the NHL playoffs? I haven't watched a single second since those ******* Flames eliminated the Jets.
August 31, 20204 yr comment_483946 I watch the occasional period of hockey now and then. For whatever reason, watching NHL playoffs with no spectators in August actually helps make this year seem more normal for me 🙂

I would pay good money to someone to allow me to openly mock Roughrider players/fans after any of the following events: Throwing an interception Losing a fumble Dropping a pass Getting a divorce after sleeping with their own cousin Sleeping with farm animals Getting remarried to cousin noted in (4), after cousin realized you weren't related to farm animal in (5) Kickers hitting a field goal post Quarterbacks also hitting a field goal post "Sticking it" to your rival by retiring as a QB 2 weeks before season starts, only to have your roster spot taken by Streveler resulting in a Grey Cup win for your rival. That time their mascot was accused of sexual assault (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sexual-assault-advocates-gainer-reaction-1.5222683) All those years we had two teams named "Roughriders" in the CFL and they both sucked. In 1986 they both finished at the bottom of their division. Appropriate. Fun Fact to break things up - Saskatchewan holds the CFL record for largest loss by shutout, and is also the runner up! (they lost 56-0 to Winnipeg on July 5, 1986, and lost to Edmonton 55-0 on August 24, 1959) Every "too many men" penalty they take, seriously it is funny every single time Edited September 1, 20204 yr by Eternal optimist
September 3, 20204 yr comment_484115 Can't remember if I posted this or not, but I don't think I've ever watched an entire NFL game, front to back......but damn it if Strev isn't going to make me a AZ Cards fan yet....

I think I slept through an NFL game once by accident... fell asleep watching Antiques Roadshow... woke up to see the winning team winding down the last 2 minutes of the game.

To the surprise of nobody here, his new coaches and teammates have lots of love for him already. He's getting praise for his effort, intelligence and willingness to do whatever is asked of him.
September 4, 20204 yr comment_484182 It appears Streveler has made the 53 man roster. Im looking for confirmation. ***It appears this roster is premature. Final cuts come tomorrow. Edited September 4, 20204 yr by Mr Dee
September 4, 20204 yr comment_484188 Thats’s our guy... Richie Hall was nearly brought to tears by a recent special delivery. Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea made the trip from Winnipeg to Regina to personally present Hall with his 2019 Grey Cup ring. https://leaderpost.com/sports/football/cfl/saskatchewan-roughriders/richie-hall
