The Ryan Dinwiddie that Argos fans got to know last year was happy to impugn individual players and call them names. This year he's going one better, throwing a coach under the bus whom he called "a quality coach and an even better person" just a couple of days ago. Classy.

Ryan Dinwiddie fired William Fields after defensive suggestions ‘fell on deaf ears’ #CFL

Calgary has no injuries to report. No. Injuries. After 9 weeks of football.

Chris Streveler pronounces, on the other app.

Big Issue's shocking report on the energy used by London's data centres has inspired one reader to come up with a way of offsetting it.

'Data centres should be made to provide their own power'

Wow. The NFL really is more exciting.

Nice! As I always used to hashtag on the other app, #DontYankMyRouge

Keep it up, folks! Constant vigilance!

Wowsers. Dinwiddie has priors doing this kind of thing - ask Shawn Oakman or Rasheed Bailey - but this is big.

Ottawa Redblacks release three-time All-CFL receiver Eugene Lewis #CFL

Because history, as we can see for ourselves on a daily basis, is not important enough for societies to develop expertise in it. Better to just leave it to the politicians and billionaires to weaponize.

Glen O'Hara@gsoh31.bsky.social · 3d ago

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

The Argos also struggled in the red zone under Dinwiddie.

‘That’s our Achilles heel’: Ottawa Redblacks felled by ’embarrassing’ red-zone execution #CFL

@shayman.bsky.social used to say sagely on the other app that it was generally best for the CFL for home teams to win their games. That may have been particularly true for Edmonton yesterday.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

For a number of years now, the Argos have tended to lose big home games (it gives people extra reason to stay home next time, you see), so this upcoming game at BMO Field was already looking ominous. The fact that it's an on-fire Calgary team makes the sense of dread even stronger.

Happy to recommend Unparliamentary - an enjoyable train read on my last trip. Like a lot of good history, it both entertains and debunks received popular mythologies. I have to rework a bit of a lecture, but now have a great anecdote for a new course I am developing. And I got to meet the author!

Charlie Feldman@parlcharlie.bsky.social · 5d ago

It seems the second print of “Unparliamentary” is now in stock! This is great because you can replace the copy you have with one that has fewer typos :p Book_final_v111_USETHISONE-new2.doc

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make this happen.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

I get that (for some unfathomable reason) nobody gets "fired" anymore. But if you're going to use a flaccid euphemism, why not "relieved of his duties"? Period. "Relieved of his coaching duties" sounds like his job has merely changed. He's been relieved of ALL his duties, hasn't he?

christ if that’s not a metaphor for our times

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

As the Infantino/MAGA story rolls on, it's important to note that it represents a triumph of first-rate sports journalism by @martynziegler.bsky.social , and reminds us why we need real journalism so desperately. www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

When Ouellette was my - and most people's - favourite Argonaut, you couldn't help but worry slightly that you were looking at another Chad Kackert clocking up too many punishing runs.

Saskatchewan Roughriders add A.J. Ouellette, Rolan Milligan Jr. to six-game injured list #CFL

They were Ottawa City in the early days, as distinct from Ottawa College (i.e. GGs), and their primary nickname was the Senators. "Rough Riders" arose as an early, tongue-in-cheek reference - detested by the club itself - to the Senators' rough/dirty reputation.

Tonight, the Ottawa Redblacks celebrate 150 years of football in Ottawa. Over the years, the Ottawa Football Club has been known as the Rough Riders, Renegades, and, of course, Redblacks. #cfl canadianfootballhistory.ca/2025/05/07/r...

Josh Allen, doing his best Stewart Johnston impression: "Stop hating on the [new] jerseys ... I understand people want the old jerseys ... But at some point ... we have to move forward and do something new." Why? Just cuz. That's not very persuasive. Oho! Numpty! Numpty!

Sprague led the Rough Riders to back-to-back Grey Cups. Wadsworth was the most notorious player in Canadian football - the Mosca of his era. Golab was "the Golden Boy", whose career was cut short by terrible WW2 injuries. Simpson was one of the greatest Canadians of the imports era.

Bygone Boatmen@bygoneboatmen.bsky.social · last wk.

How very sad that they would say their story begins with Russ Jackson. What a slap in the face to the iconic players of the 60 years prior to him. Off the top of my head: Silver Quilty, Dave Sprague, Abe Eliowitz, Bunny Wadsworth, Andy Tommy, Tony Golab, Howie Turner, Bob Simpson, and Dave Thelen.

... "if approval is granted, FIFA says Thrive Eternal is expected to lead the proposed investor group ... Thrive is an American venture capital firm founded by ... the brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law" ...

I'm amazed at the legs this review has acquired. When Braveheart and Hamilton were in this position, nobody thought it was particularly interesting that historians took issue with them. Of course they did.

Rogers, like certain presidents, believes affordability issues are a hoax.

From free-to-access via CBC to needing two subscriptions. The real kicker is the exclusive broadcasting of entire playoff series - hands down, that will be the Leafs. I understand Rogers hiked their subscription price BEFORE making this announcement.

An American diplomat - an AMERICAN diplomat - has said these words about another state this week: "we will not be affording them the benefit of listening to their politicized drivel until they renounce their condescending and disrespectful rhetoric". #potsandkettles
