Andre Proulx is the most consistent ref in the CFL. Has been for years. If you haven’t realized that, you’re either not paying attention or have something against his French accent. The fact people in the crowd booed when he was announced shows how clueless the average fan is.
@JShannonhl
I’ve always enjoyed Don from an entertainment perspective. More people need to be wearing poppies. I agree with him there. But that applies to all Canadians, not one faction of the population. He should have chosen better words.
Anyone remember the headshot Brandon Bridge took from Jeffcoat in the 2018 playoffs? Wade Miller was Wade Miller then too. I don’t remember a public decry about A failure to protect our QBs then and that hit was waaaaaaay worse than Sundays. Funny how selective outrage works.
Thanks for finding this. I remembered the hit but couldn’t find video. Bomber fans and that fat ass Miller weren’t losing their god damn minds over this. The contact was way worse. Selective outrage.

38% no. Don’t believe it. Most people support teachers.
Some MLAs arguing teachers are being greedy while they take CPI increases in their own salaries every year. Hilarious.
This actually is almost as enjoyable as watching the riders win the cup. I’m just so happy the bombers won’t get to splash champagne in our locker room
I don’t care what anyone says if you actually enjoy the sound of those horns during a telecast you’re just being contrarian. No normal person finds that enjoyable.

You’re the best Cody. What a gutsy effort. Can’t even begin to say how happy

I love the Jays but can someone explain to me why the Toronto Blue Jays twitter account is acting as if the Bills play in Toronto and that the rest of 🇨🇦 cares?
As a Riders fan we cant stand our rival Bombers. That said we appreciate the great players in this league we all love, regardless of who they play for. They make our league great. Sending condolences to

How the hell is Mario Alford not the special teams player of the week? Who decides these things? I usually don’t even care about these things, but that seems like a screw job for Mario.
Doubles is an absolute natural. Can we get a 3 way broadcast team? Offence and defence views. Mega impressed. Darian seriously sounds like he’s been doing this for years. 👏
@carolynstrom
It annoys me when people say “opponents of Scott Moe”. Am I a fan? Nope. However, I also know I’d be calling out the same gross inaction regardless of who was holding the premiers chair at the moment. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Enact some basic public health mandates.
@rexgraham50
@JennyOrganic
It’s embarrassing. To think a person can speak a certain way and spread hateful messages and then claim they are the ones being bullied. Why does there always seem to be a pattern between many Trump supporters and people that clearly lack intelligence?
And for those saying that “I’m never supporting this team again” you can thank those ppl that support the team through thick & thin as to why there is still a team at all to be this mad at. Be careful what you wish for when you say you’re no longer supporting the team.
Can we all agree yet that the coaching and admin cap is hurting the quality of play in the
@CFL
? I think it’s most evident at the QB position. Been a dry spell with no Reilly’s, no Lulay’s, no Burris’, no prime Mitchell’s, no Calvillo’s etc
Darian Durant should be going into the Plaza as an individual asap! Not sure what the hold up is on that. If Kerry Joseph is in there, Doubles is deserving twice over. Get it done
@sskroughriders
Defends it. Haha. Largely part time work for many of them. CPI’d salaries which they deny every other public worker. Unreal. Just tone deaf. This party has been in too long and they’ve developed god complexes.

Will the league fine Wade Miller for making the public comments like he did? Publicly critical and saying what the league should be doing? The kickers got fined for speaking up about chipped balls so I hope a team president isn’t above the law when speaking out against the league
Honestly good for Cody. He balled out. No doubt about it that it does add a bit of insult to injury for Ridernation tho. No doubt about it. Once again we look a bit silly.
To the douchebag who tried to drive his jacked up douchebag truck over the snow and ice covered boulevard on south Albert Street, rolled the truck and got stuck 😂...I can only guess the type of “man” you are....

The TSN panel ripping the league and rightfully so. Suppose to be obvious mistakes. Not taking over the officiating entirely. That took 10 minutes. Banes DPI was clear
What a disgusting display of unsportsmanlike conduct by Chris Edwards after the game. Should be a game suspension minimum for that. Just pathetic. Embarrassing for the
@Ticats
free agent acquisition.
@mortimer_1
You’re not comparing things appropriately. It’s an apples and oranges comparison. When home interest rates were sky high, what was median income in relation to big ticket items like housing, vehicle, education at that time? Did both adults in a home need to work full time?
Not sure how you fine a player for a hit that was a borderline penalty to begin with, and only happened because a rookie olineman had a hold of him when he’s beat. If I’m Brown I’m asking the PA to appeal it.
I think what really pisses me off is I see ZERO difference from the last several weeks. Despite the 2013 team being here. Despite Reeds celebration.
They look unprepared and unmotivated. Embarrassing.
Making a crap team in Hamilton look great right now. It hurts to watch.
@julians_world
The NFL approved the field. I’m not a Winnipeg fan but the issues last night was all on the NFL, the promoter and the Raiders. It had zero to do with Winnipeg or the Blue Bombers. To suggest otherwise is factually incorrect.

Who is Matthew Grills? And why does he feel everything in our country needs to conform to Americana? God knows we have enough of that crap as is it.
You gotta feel for the guy. A classic example of “if you weren’t brought up by the NFL, we consider you at the bottom of the pile.” So much political BS and egos at play down south with draftees it’s crazy. At the QB position especially.
Just saw a fan get taken out for making to much noise. Not cool
@sskroughriders
. This is a football game. Not a library. No swearing. No insults. Nothing. Noise and cheering when appropriate. Guy gets kicked out when fans in front of him don’t like it.
Ridernation you disappoint me sometimes. I realize the last few games havent been show-stopping performances, but we still have a 1st place team heading into the 2nd half of the season. The number of tix available for a beautiful Friday night game under the lights right now is 💩
Suitor saying “another week the command centre gonna be in the spotlight��. No glen. You’re literally one of the only people that think that call was THAT questionable.
You’re up
@sskroughriders
Get it to-fucking-gether already. Enough is enough. You are embarrassing us on the national stage. One of the model franchises in the league, we should be leading the way on doing the right thing, not coming in dead last.
Presson indicated the game at Toronto WILL be rescheduled. Sounds like other teams will adjust games as well to fit it in.
Expect an announcement about proof of vax to attend games at Commonwealth to come Monday.
The
@sskroughriders
should be giving tickets away to this preseason game. Get the people to see the new team new look. Most people aren’t gonna buy a ticket to a preseason game. Fill the seats and get eyes on the product that otherwise wouldn’t.
Here’s the problem with the command centre “correcting wrongs” on the field. There is no rhyme or reason when they decide to do it. It’s totally random. And it’s BS. There is waaaay too much subjectivity involved.
The amount of BULLSHIT calls that Collaros gets cause of his scrambled egg head is total nonsense. Nothing at all about that play was roughing the passer. What a fucking joke.
@ScottOake
Regardless of the reason, it would be nice if people in general would just respect a persons choice re: mask or no mask. Someone else choosing to wear a mask is literally hurting this gentleman zero %
To those people giving Lauther grace. Nope sorry. You have one job. Missed happen. I can handle a few. 4 in a game including 1 that goes for 7 is inexcusable at a pro level. Riders should be airlifting American and Aussie kickers in here tomorrow.
What an embarrassing two months for the riders. Losing two in a row to Winnipeg is ridiculous. Now thanks to no one but themselves, the riders are legit in danger of missing the playoffs for ANOTHER fucking season.
Hope the
@sskroughriders
can find ways to get as many fans into the stands as possible. Given the plight of the current team & regime it’s understandable why there are so many tickets left right now but w/ the 13 cup guys coming back & w/ 34 passing, be nice to see a big crowd.
People clamouring for Dolegala got their wish.
A cannon of an arm sure.
Doesn’t much matter if you can’t put the ball where it needs to be most of the time.
I love when Brian Williams is on
@CFLonTSN
he’s been such a quintessential voice in Canadian sports coverage for decades. Is their a commentator you associate more with Canada and the Olympics? He’s such a beaut! 🍻
@MMandryk
He should actually be saying “we know many businesses are close to death, but we’d rather pretend leaving things open is a good thing, rather than ask that things close and have to provide more financial support”.
@Krista_B_85
I don’t agree. It was literally an active police situation with not many firm details known hours later. If it’s a week later after all the dust settles, then maybe this is a fair take. Day of? Nope. Unfair take.
People are attacking the world junior kids on their social media pages? Yeesh. Shitty result in the game for sure, no one more disappointed than those boys in that locker room, but to go on their pages and shit all over them is taking things a bit far...cmon Canada 🤦🏻♂️
He still prob won’t get it, because media always seems to give it to an offensive player, usually QB. Truth is, there have been a lot of “good” performances from offensive players this year, but nothing that is outstanding. Rolan has been outstanding.
The world has gone mad. $700 million USD to a single person to play a game? Imagine what we could do in the world if we capped these salaries at a measly $100 mill USD and used the rest to feed starving people or prop up medicine in 3rd world countries or something.

The unfortunate thing is, I think many of the findings were consistent with documented behaviour in the past. Accountability is important for growth. Will this finally lead to permanent change for the better? I suppose that’s up to time and Chad himself. Wish him well.
Riders did not overpay for Hardrick. Big salary? Sure. But the dude commands it and has earned it. We needed to solidify our RT position. You want a fancy car you gotta put up the cash. If it was that easy to find a quality RT we’d have done it the last 3 years.
Air travel sucks at the best of times when you’re playing the connecting game. That being said, any one else out there notice that

@save_and_serve
@GaryS2020
And a social media account manager mocking legit complaints about how the noise detracts from the entertainment value of the game. I can’t speak for in-stadium, but certainly on television is a bush league look.
There’s something comical about Dickenson commenting about how our offence wasn’t that great last year as the reason Maas/Fajardo aren’t here and then getting absolutely embarrassed by Maas and Fajardos backup.
You know how lots of Canada considers us on the prairies as ignorant inbred backwoods hicks? Our vaccination rate isn’t helping right that stereotype. Just sayin’
For anyone that watches both leagues closely, the refs in the NFL are just as, if not even more inconsistent with PI calls than their Canadian equivalents….and it’s a full time job and six figure salary for the guys down south.
Hey
@sskroughriders
and just where the **** was the fly over yesterday? That’s should be a staple for EVERY Labour Day. Just seems wrong not to have one. I’m no expert, but it’s probably why we lost. 👎
Madani comes on and shits all over Myles Brown. Comparing the hit Sunday to what that clown Marino did or what Robertson did after the whistle is so far out of bounds. Total bullshit comparison. Clearly his twitter feeds are still full of bomber apologists.
@sportscage
@Connor_J_Hughes
Atrocious coaching/clock management on that last drive. Fact that it came down to converting a 4th and forever and then a 58 yard FG attempt with a timeout still left on the board is embarrassing.
Handful of bright spots. Jamal Morrow. Larry Dean. Micah Johnson Just to name a few. This team needs 30 more guys like that. Listening to Jamal after the game. He sounded dejected with the teams effort. You can tell he gets it. Clearly not enough in that locker room that do.
Salaries tied to provincial increases in the consumer price index. What a novel concept. Funny how they’ll give this to themselves but literally no other workers.
Find it funny hearing a smattering of boos from some of the Bomber fans in the first half. 4 straight cup appearances and rattling off 8 straight wins. Memory is super short I guess haha
Holy hell...trouble getting to sleep...up at the crack of stupid...the excitement...the nervousness....I’m so amped. Can’t wait to get to the stadium. Let’s go boys!!!
#RiderNation
#CFL
This entire roster and organization should be bloody embarrassed to come out like this on a night like this and lay yet another egg. It’s inexcusable. I’m actually disgusted.
Bomber fans are gonna lose their mind cause it was Brown. But seriously. He’s being blocked and loses his legs. He’s not running at the QB under his own strength and goes low. Let’s not get it twisted
This rider season will put a damper on the grey cup festivities too. Guaranteed. That’s some of the collateral damage that this underwhelming season will cause. People just aren’t amped for football and football related festivities in this city at the moment. A 180 from 2013.

@KevHughes64
Lol. It was sold out dude. You want people that bought tickets and put em up for resale to go anyways? Clearly people from all over Canada posted their tickets after the west and east finals. Clearly not enough Torontonians or Winnipegers wanted to fish out $600 for a ticket
I just don’t think you complete gut an entire football ops department after one brutal season. Just my opinion. Is a re-tooling required? Absolutely. But I stop short of feeling as though we need to blow the entire thing up.

Like, how tone deaf can an organization be? If this is REALs decision, then the club should make that be known publicly because otherwise it reflects poorly on the club amidst a cost of living crisis. 2 ounces of wisers and coke for $21 is absolute robbery. Shame on them.
I realize I’m bias, but to me it looks like 66 pushes Hughes towards Collaros while Hughes is off-balance. Not sure what he is suppose to do there? Fly away before his body contacted Zach?
@StephTaylorCP
@PremierScottMoe
I imagine that’s the case. I also imagine many NOT working from home feel the same way. But please Mr Moe, continue to feed the stereotype that the ONLY people who care about restrictions are those not forced to go out into the public to work. What divisive nonsense.
I think it’s time to clean house. Enough is enough. It’s clear on this night of all nights, that most of this team has completely quit on each other, this coaching staff and organization as a whole.
The one thing I can’t stand about the NFL shows up again. 2 minutes left in a 1 point game and we just watch the game fizzle out instead of having some possibly entertaining finish.
