Really liked what I saw last night. Real worried about Collaros though. I don't know if the Riders can win with performances like that by Bridge. Could N. Marshall learn the offence in two weeks if he had to? It's not like he doesn't know the position and its not like Jones hasn't taken a player from one side of the ball and moved him to the other.

I know you don't do the post-game show, but can you tell me why it always comes off as so "echo-y". Listened to the show driving home last night, but it was very tough to do so. It's not the first time this has happened.
If there is a problem with location, can you move it to somewhere else? Very frustrating for me and I am guessing many others.

With the Riders off for a week, I am guessing we will be kept in the dark as to Collaros' status right?
IN JONES WE TRUST!
With all the off season contract bs from James Wilder Jr where was he this CFL season? Player signing like that, no wonder the Argonauts football fanchise in trouble on and off the field of play.
700 fans in attendance Hamilton Tiger Cats game, 1300 fans in Regina at Saskatchewan Roughriders game (new stadium). What kind of league is the the CFL? Is it considered a profesdional sports league? Hamilton fans can be forgiven due to bad inclement weather, but Regina fans? No excuse for their pathetic dismal showing.

To anonymous under Tony, do ya think that whiz bang communications staff will do anything to inform us of Collaros's status until they come back. Of course not!
Great rant about Collaros at the half last night. Very true as well and I bleed green!
