Did my wife and kids spoil the heck out of me? Well, considering that when I woke up this morning the only one of this collection that I had was the
@CFL
one itself….I’d say that yes, they very much did. Merry Christmas, everyone!!
You know what I saw at the
@sskroughriders
game last night? A TON of young people. You know what I heard on the call in show afterward? A whole whack of young callers. Small sample size, but encouraging nonetheless
You don’t have to like The Bombers (I don’t), but you damn well have to respect what they’ve built. And I’m not talking about the stadium. It’s not as nice as ours.
In 13 seasons with the Riders, George Reed failed to reach 1000 yds only twice. His rookie season in 1963, and again in 1970, where he played several games with a broken tibia. Absolute legend. Rest in peace, Mr. Reed.
Once again I’d like to thank the twitter gods for
@Devin_Heroux
who proves day in and day out you can tweet about sports without being an insufferable doofus.
All I’m saying is, if the
@sskroughriders
put out a limited edition t-shirt with Gainer and Kim Mitchell shredding back to back that says “MIGHT AS WELL GOPHER A SODA” in the same font they used for the movie RAD on it I would buy one for every member of my family
Of all the emotions you can feel watching your favourite team play a football game, I’m pretty sure that one touched on all of them. What a stupid, beautiful, and sometimes sad game all us CFL fans love
Nic Marshall said in his post game interview that what led him to the game sealing INT was that he noticed throughout the game that Mitchell would adjust his gloves pre-snap every time the ball was going to come his way. Thought that was really interesting. 🤔
Can we all take a second to acknowledge
@DanClark67
and his funny and often thought provoking series of “Would You Rather” ‘s? It’s been a welcome and fun distraction, at least it has for me. Thanks Dan, keep it up!!
Once again folks, if you’re not following Devin for Sports/Gardening Advice/Borderline Unsafe Coffee Intake Tweets/and now Incredibly Kind Yet Decimating Comebacks you’re really missing out.
The absolute most impressive part of the entire game today was the fact that not ONE SINGLE DRUNK IDIOT screamed out “Go Riders!” Or “Go Bombers!” During the moment of silence. It was astounding!
Whether you have a problem with Kim Mitchell’s “vintage” or not, this is hands down the best sounding act they’ve ever had here during a football game. It’s not close.
After a lot of souls searching and deep thought, I am throwing my CFL playoff support behind the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. There might be a couple players on that squad that rub me the wrong way, but that rock-solid passionate fan base deserves a Cup.
There’s been a noticeable lack of trash talk between SSK/CGY fans so far this week. I won’t lie, I haven’t really had the energy for it. I came up with this last night ant ran it by a test audience, receiving a 66% approval rating so what the hell.
@ChadGeter
I like it. We had to make a tough choice not to go, as a very large part of the appeal is taking our 10 yr old daughter who cannot be vaccinated. Now the tough decision is on the anti-vax/vax hesitant. Seems pretty fair to me.
For as (rightfully) maligned as one member of the Riders is right now, good lord there is a boatload of likeable, talented players on this team. I might have to get down to the rider store and get me a Milligan jersey made up. That kid is fantastic.
It’s a few days early but my kid was too excited about the Father’s Day card she made me to wait. The little shit Rick-Rolled me, and I don’t think I could be more proud.
I can’t believe she’s over 5 months old and this is her first rider gear. If you’re wondering why she’s staring off into the distance, we’re at the stadium and I’m showing her where a cable cam would go.
I think last night was the most Bomber fans I’ve seen at a LDC in the new stadium. You were loud as heck, and if that’s what it takes to sell games out in this day and age, I say come back every week. Fantastic night!
All I’m saying is, if you end up with a giant tub of KFC gravy in your fridge that’s never going to get eaten, one thing you can do is buy potatoes and cheese curds and make poutine perogies
I know sometimes we all take these games too seriously, and we hurl insults back and forth that can be hurtful. I want all you Bombers fans to know that it’s only because you are clearly all sociopaths, and your team is a pariah on our great nation.
Why people want to see a concrete plan from the CFL when the situation is 100% fluid is beyond me. Renew your season tickets or don’t. There. Problem solved.
No way the Riders can lose all 3 games vs Stampeders. They’ve lost 2 but will NOT lose tonight. It’s mathematically impossible for Riders to lose all 3.

You’ll be happy to know that our youngest tested negative for covid and our trip to Winnipeg to watch the riders get eviscerated is still on!!! Pretty stoked, actually. Haven’t seen IG field in person yet, so I’ll be happy to be able to shit talk it based on personal experience😬
Lots to say now for a clown that couldn’t take accountability for 6 weeks (and BARELY did then) after embarrassing this entire province. Team might not be better without him, but we’re better off.
Where the hell has all the time gone? The best football buddy a dad could possibly ask for is a teenager today. Love this kid so much. And look how smart she has grown vis-a-vis being seen in public with me!! Happy Birthday Avery!
Today, I am a CFL fan for the early game and a Ticats fan for the late game. The rest of you just do what you want because you never listen to me anyway
