I only saw it in real time but it sounded like he was moaning about homerism.. especially as he felt the pass to morris wasn’t a pick play.. it was because Matthews was so poor in his route I dunno if it was intentional or just ****e route running.. he seemed amped after that! Lol
He said something like, “ it’s on their sideline, why are all the flags on mike O’Shea’s sideline..? Is it because he’s ****ing Canadian.”
Maybe he felt the league wanted a non import hc to get to the dance.. I doubt it.. the calls evened up over the course of the game ... heat of the moment and all that..
The Stumps were just laying out the F-Bombs all game...
At any rate, I'll be working the bungee jump at Grey Cup Festival Wed/Thur/Fri so say hi if you're taking the plunge!
Just a quick shout out to Mr."Winning isn't everything" for pis*ing away not one but TWO HoF QB's. F*ck you Len and good riddance.

There has been some decent reporting on this already, and it has been discussed that the fully comment was referencing, "F'ing Canadian Mafia", one of the nicknames - the last two words anyways - for the all-Canadian braintrust at the helm of the Bombers.
It is hypocritical for some to go after Maas for his sideline indiscretions and not go after Dickie for some of his, but this shouldn't be blown out of proportion as a slur against O'Shea or against the country that has given Dickie so much of his career.
There have been apologies and regrets expressed, and that's a mile further than we see from many in our society when they screw up these days.
Long range weather forecast looking good for Sunday. Hope it holds up.![]()

Has to be tough losing an eastern all star CB for the game that he and his team have been playing for all year. The right call though. League has to come down hard on crap like this. You can argue he thought it was another player he was scuffling with but the result is what counts. Will be interesting to see if an appeal is allowed like Kyris Hebert did during the regular season.
Just my opinion but possibly if the officials would have thrown a few flags at the start of the game when on almost every play there was pushing and shoving ,it might have toned things down a bit. Seems like they might have not wanted to be blamed for not "letting the teams play", and it got out of hand.
The crap he pulled was way out of line though. First the head whip to the ground, then the official gets shoved (who he was looking right at by the way) and then he facemasked another player after that. What's to appeal? I understand the appeal process and everything but for something as cut and dried as this why is he bothering? (Besides the obvious he wants to play and the coaches want him to play)

It's Tuesday, if the league and CFLPA wanted to get the appeal done, they could make it happen tomorrow. Problem is that neither really want to make it happen.
Is it game day yet?????

It kinda takes Ottawa off the hook with the CFLPA initiating the appeal. Just the way the system works. No way Ottawa wants to lose an all star for the most important game of the year. Likely some lobbying going on by both teams behind closed doors. A decade from now when someone is reading the list of Grey Cup winners , there is not going to be an asterisk beside the 2018 winner's name saying they lost or won with or without Rose playing. iirc correctly Campbell is a Cdn. now, gives Dickenson a chance for another rant.
Seriously though it's like others have said, safety and respect should come first.
