Rider Nation I just talked with Jim Hopson. Jim has been battling Stage 4 Cancer and has informed me that doctors told him treatment is no longer working and he doesn’t have long to live. My prayers for you and Brenda Jim. Love ya!

Listen nobody should be mad at Chris Jones as an American he grew up dreaming of being in the NFL. A Canadian kid doesn't grow up wanting to play in the AHL or Europe..They want to play in the NHL. Good luck to him..Next man up!

Dont care what anybody says Khari Jones took over a tire fire inside a dumpster fire and he has the ALS believing. He is the coach of the year in the CFL and it's not close!
#CFL
Anybody else feel like we are being duped? Double vaxxed, masked, now boosters and nothing is getting better? In fact right back to shutting down sports and travel and now bans for a mild strain! This world has lost it’s mind!!!
Talked to
@JonRyan9
. He is opting out of his CFL deal for 2 reasons;1 He is a free agent in Feb anyway so it allows him to get an NFL deal should that arise. 2nd he doesn't feel right taking CDN taxpayers money when he doesn't need it!
As soon as this
#VanierCup
is over the
@sskroughriders
should sign QB Mason Nyhus to a free agent deal and bring him to camp and see if he is worth developing! There is no downside!
TSN has done a great job of making the World Juniors a big deal in Canada when really it's a nothing tournie everywhere else..why can't they do that for university football?
So proud of this guy! Ethan Ball playing real meaningful defensive snaps had 3 tackles against the Nebraska Cornhuskers! We didn’t win but I feel like I won! On my 50th Bday weekend I watched my son play BIG TIME FTBL!
Regina Red Sox Announce Partnership with Living Skies Sports and Entertainment to build a 3500 seat ballpark in downtown Regina. And it's a cool name too-- Railyards!
Congrats to Regina native Stuart Scheurwater as he's been hired as a full time umpire by MLB. What a great accomplishment! First ever Reginan and 2nd ever Canadian to do it.

1 MONTH AGO Simoni Lawrence crushed Zach Collaros with a dirty hit. He had a 12 hour hearing 3 days ago and still no decision from the league!!!! The CFL and CFLPA should be ashamed! Forget the Global stuff and get your house in order!
So the W Jrs just got cancelled? A tournie featuring 16 to 20 yr old healthy boys who won’t die from a mild variant? Let’s bubble wrap the whole world and call it a day! This world has lost it’s mind!!!! At least Bedard was the scoring leader! What a disgrace!
The Edmonton Oilers held a 50/50 online that raised 5 million so why doesn't the CFL do a weekly 50/50 with half going to the CFL half to winner? Just a thought
#CFL
If you don’t care about the product how can you expect others too? Why aren’t the CFL awards broadcast on TSN or even online somewhere? It’s totally mindboggling!
If they change it to the Charity Football League make Morneau's daughter an employee and Turdeau's wife the Commish our game should be eligible for 912 million! Problem solved!

I’m at a loss for words with tonight’s performance from the

In my humble opinion the
@sskroughriders
should make a trade right now for the rights to Bo Levi Mitchell and get him in here so he can help pick OC and help shape the future of this team.
Ethan Ball I'm so proud of you! You moved to another country during a pandemic. You switched from the 12 man game to the 11 man game and you switched positions from rec to safety. And I'm pleased say ur traveling to Idaho St Wk 1! Not bad for a true freshman for SK!
How about that? Gretzky sent Bedard a text saying I’ve watched Lemieux, Lafleur, Crosby and McDavid play and you’re as good or better. Wow! High praise from the GOAT! Let’s enjoy him while we have him Regina.

Just looked at the fight again Lawlor pulls off Edem’s helmet and Demski throws a punch but Harris, Demski and Lawlor stay in the game! Is in video review broken??
To all the Bomber faithful calling Pete Robertson Marino 2 and that he should be suspended. Ahh! Pete should be fined for the bone headed play period.! Jeffcoat managed to somehow hit SK 6’7 QB in the head helmet to helmet! Let’s call it even and quit whining! You lost!
If life or circumstances knocked you down somebody always has it worse. Today I got out of the house and spent some time at the Regina Souls Harbour Rescue Mission. I’m Not looking for any accolades but I want to remind ppl that the best way to get back on your feet is to help
Why won't our Prime Minister meet with Tori Stafford's father? There is no good excuse! I hope Canadians do the right thing and get rid of this gutless leader. Ppl make fun of Trump? We have it much worse with Trudeau! Open your eyes Canadians!
Does anybody really believe the PM of Canada has to isolate for 5 days because of Covid close contact? I’ll believe he tested POSITIVE for being SPINELESS!
#TruckerConvoy2022
Well Ethan Ball played his 1st NCAA Div 1 game! He finished with 2.5 tkls and 4 stitches, some great memories and a 38 0 win over Drake, the school not the rapper! Not bad for a SKie boy! Proud of you son!
Robertson gets a 1 game suspension for what he did but neither of these players were ejected or suspended! I repeat neither of of these guys got punishment. The CFL pick and choose justice is an embarrassment! Your discipline appears to be dependent on who the jersey colour!
If Don gets fired for his rant on Coaches Corner then
@jessieraeallen
from the
@TheSocialCTV
should be fired too! I've worked with "white hockey players" for charities in Regina for 12 yrs.
That’s an embarrassing suspension by the CFL on Pete Robertson when you let Jeffcoat smoke Brandon Bridge and 0 suspension and you let Andrew Harris rip a guy head off in Banjo Bowl and no consequences. What a joke!
Rider Nation, Garrett Marino will not be cut! Nor should he be as some media and fans have called for! Yes a fine and or suspension is coming one way or another and that is a just punishment.
Can we just leave the kicking rules alone in the
@CFL
? It’s 1 thing that sets the game apart from the boring US kicking game. It’s a contact sport! You know what you signed up for! The kick return is one of the most exciting plays.
#CFL
I wish QB1 nothing but the best in surgery and recovery! Praying for you Trevor. At one point in time Trevor Harris was an unknown so now it’s time for Rider Nation to rally around this team and Mason Fine!
Did everyone see what I’ve been saying for yrs?
@skhuskies
QB Mason Nyhus had 408 yds passing and 5 TDs and got pulled with 13 mins left! A CFL team (Riders) should bring this kid in and give him a shot!
Convoy protesters came to Ottawa to be heard, but PMJT wouldn’t listen.
Instead, he slammed down the most authoritarian law he could – the

speech VIDEO:
After
@Wpg_BlueBombers
coach OShea and QB Zach Collaros called out the CFL after the Labour Day Classic, it would appear a standard has been set! Any coach or player can make comments about the league without repercussions because they weren’t fined!

Ethan Ball is officially a Calgary Dinos student/athlete. We are so proud of you son and can't wait to see what the future holds for you on the field and in the classroom.
Not sure who is in charge of this parking set up at the Brandt Centre but I’ve been to a season opening NCAA football game at Nebraska with 87 thousand fans and had no trouble getting out in 15 minutes. This is a friggin joke! No excuse!
Just admit it some of you
@sskroughriders
fans don’t want to develop a QB! You just want to bitch about how the team never develops a QB! BTW kudos to the Riders for bringing the party to Halifax!

It is with great sadness and broken hearts that the Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club mourn the passing of one of its greatest players of all time, George Reed.

Kinda disappointed to see this Fajardo bashing by fans and former pros Of course his skill set is limited! He has a knee injury, his weapons now aren’t what they were in 2019 and neither is the OL. And love Darian but he didn’t have an elite arm either!

Rider Nation I’m pumped for today’s game! We get to see some new names rise to the occasion and my 75 yr old mom is going to her 1st ever Riders game! Get her a win fellas!
My mom is 1 strong lady.. As I said she isn't out of the woods but she climbs the mountain one step at a time. In fact today the breathing tube comes out and we might get to hear her voice again!

Exactly..This is criminal to end a good game like this. Our problem here in the CFL is we do a poor job of promoting and positive messaging. The CFL is the best version of football on the planet. It's not even close.
Garrett Marino shouldn’t be cut by the Riders, fined and suspended sure! Simoni Lawrence has been acting a fool for way longer than 92 and gets away with it! Having said that Marino should feel ashamed for that display.
Harris didn’t even get a penalty on that play if I’m right! He certainly didn’t get kicked out and he wasn’t suspended for 1 yr! Bomber fans are prisoners of the moment
When the waters are rough and the boat starts rocking you need to have that anchor to bring you back to stability. Besides my kids this is my person! Thanks for being my best friend!

I realize things aren’t rosy in Rider Nation but I’ve received at least 5 messages from ppl asking me if there will be a coaching change? Huh? We are 4-4 and went to the last 2 West Finals! Now do they need to make changes…yes! But coaching isn’t 1 of them.
