The only thing better than beating the Eskimos is beating them twice in less than a week.

Beating them at home is great too. Almost a perfect sports day. Bianca leaving the New York crowd in tears and the Stamps leaving the Esks fans in tears. Only thing missing was the Bomber fans. but at least the entire province of Sask are in tears.

Solid game by the Stamps D. Bo was a bit shaky with the 3 picks. He cleans that up and we convert TDs on a couple FG and this game is a demolishing of the evil empire.

Always love seeing teammates fight in a game...reminds me of my Highschool semi game when our QB and WR started throwing haymakers in our huddle over an Off PI. Lolol

nothing like kicking the Eskimos in the a$$ in the home game of the labor day back to back, then spinning then around and kicking them in the balls in Edmonton.

And with really two, maybe three broadcast teams...they see them so often.

Suitor has never liked the Stamps, has been chronicled for years and years, decades almost. He had to have had issues as a player with the Stamps.
I really don't think they are especially biased. More than anything they are cheering for a good game or a good story. They have friends and contacts with every team, so I don't think they care too much about who wins.

I bet if you asked them if they were biased against the Stamps, they would tell you Eskimo fans also think they are biased against them.

It makes me wonder, the Esks fall apart again. They have players fighting on the sidelines and the GM does the walk of death glare down the sideline.



I expect that Jason is in dire straights right now.

I can understand what Sunderland was trying to accomplish maybe trying to send a message that he was looking to see who was stepping up and who was quitting but the QB promptly threw a pick 6 after his angry walk across the benches which kind of made the whole thing moot. Probably should have come out a little earlier in the game as little was accomplished outside of showing up the players and coaches. The GM is upset? Well no kidding as the Eskimos have hit the skids and he's the architect of the roster so there's plenty of blame to spread around.

Well, he came down after the spat between two Esks on the field continued on the sideline. Don’t think it was an overall team thing, just making sure the feuding parties knew they better stay in line.
Maas can stay there as long as he likes as far as I’m concerned. Harris too.

I've never heard of a 9-3 team with the best ST and D in the league by mile described as free falling before. Thanks for the experience.

My number one sports commentator pet peeve.

Rider fans constantly complain that Glen Suitor hates the Riders. Opposing fans constantly complain he’s Rider alum so he’s a homer.


Also that old Stamps Esks video reminded me of the 97 West Semi. My first ever game at McMahon. Up by five with a minute left the Riders went for 2, Stamps ran it back for a “TD” and the fans around us thought it meant they’d won the game.
