Last post by Tecno - Today at 06:45:31 AMMills just had his best game this season. I don't really care the stats, though they probably back it up: it was the first game he looked more like the steamroller Mills we know. He was basically unstoppable and making all the tough YAFCs, and lots of 7+ runs.
Sucks that he decides to start finding mojo right before we play them. But I think we'll do ok making sure he doesn't go full-Rankin on us. I would be worried about injuries, though, as he's a lot of weight plowing downhill. Best to sic Griffin & Jones on him, rather than Kyrie & Kramdi (or Kelly!).

Last post by Tecno - Today at 05:38:05 AMQuote from: Cool Spot on July 21, 2026, 05:31:51 PMGoing to push back on this one. Good teams find ways to win which means limiting mistakes and executing when it matters (in clutch time). Poor and mediocre teams may look good on paper, maybe even have flashes of greatness, but are inconsistent and don't execute in key moments; in any game there are often lots of key moments. A good team executes consistently, limits its mistakes, and makes the occasional great play.
But that fits EDM in, say 2024, to a tee. So close for a while in like 30% of their games, then the just find a way to lose in the 4th. The reason I use EDM as an example is look how they've turned their team around now. That could be OTT next season. In fact, with Dinwiddie running the show I kind of expect it -- just like he did to TOR when he first arrived there and THEY were the worst in the league.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 05:35:35 AMQuote from: bomberjunkie on Today at 01:47:41 AMThe next step to go beyond being performative is to either educate or adjust their policies for the players, and/or advocacy in the area of mental health or substance use, depending on the discovery of circumstances.
Ya, this isn't the first time something like this could have happened in the CFL. I can recall 2 DUIs from CFL players off the top of my head. Probably more like 5 in the last 5-7 years. And now weed factoring in, where so many stoners swear it makes their driving better. It's really stupid. Should have been predicted before Trudeau legalized and mainstreamed it.
Maybe the CFL needs a tighter DUI policy. And players need to buddy up and make sure no one does anything stupid. Make it a team culture thing.
How about a stricter 6 game suspension for any DUI offense, and the team gets fined $5k that comes off the SMS too. Make it hurt the whole team and maybe they'll get the correct programs in place.
I would assume there's 25-30% of players who are like Milt "body is my temple", who don't drink/toke at all. Promote that, and have them buddy up with the substance problem people.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 05:25:08 AMYay, the WPG@OTT game was chosen as the Tue-night repeat game! So I get to get a copy of that first 30 mins after all!
Still not sure how these games are chosen. Some voting system on the cfl site? Would explain why the game chosen is usually a SSK game. Those fans are all online, and rabid.

If you mean Jones, the dude has been monster all year. Yes, he might even be getting better, but he's been by far the best LB, and general tackler, on the team for a while. He's got the right amount of crazy for MLB.

AUSTIN DUBINSKY - G - Niverville Nighthawks (MJHL)
Dubinsky was announced on Elite Prospects two weeks ago. He's now announced at GoBisons.ca. My post two weeks ago contains the links and background, but the official announcement has a new photo! The captional blurb is:

➤ GoBisons.ca: National champion, CJHL's Top Netminder Austin Dubinsky joins the Herd
After a great career in the Town of Bedrock, Carl Stankowski is off to Scotland to play with the Dundee Stars of the EIHL. Earlier this year, Sean Strange signed a deal with the same team. He used up his eligibility in USports. His tandem partner, Carl Tetachuk, has played four seasons. I don't know if he'll be back. It would be hard to replace them both in the same season.

He was also the MJHL Playoff MVP, CJHL Goaltender of the Year and a First Team All-Star in a historic season for Niverville.

Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 04:12:52 AMGood to see the Rough rider organization took the high road here. It is a tragedy for both family and friends and we need to be cautious and considerate in our comments here. Thanks.

Last post by Pete - Today at 03:53:37 AMSmeckle must be getting close as well. Im not worried about our defense its been improving week to week, its Calgary's dline that's probably the most talented in the league. Orimolade and Hicks will put a lot of pressure on Bryant, and Wallace is clearly outmatched by Hutchings.
