Or they're bringing in 15 receivers like they do every single year

Let's call him Rider S..... no no, that's too obvious.... we'll say R Stronson

It took a while, but Popp is finally starting to clean up the salary mess he made in Montreal. And he's doing it from Toronto. That's some next level GMing there.

When does the annual "Bruce Johnson will be cut" thread will start?

So much can change when you are talking about hundreds of years. There could be a nuclear war while you're frozen. Then you get thawed out 50 years later, just long enough to see your wife and kid getting unfrozen across the room. A man enters and kills your wife and steals your baby. Before you can do anything you're re-frozen. Later you wake up again. It's an apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, but humanity is beginning to re-form society. You go looking for your kidnapped son, but learn that things aren't quite as easy as they were when you were frozen...

Every single year, same thing. There's at most, a handful of spots open between the main roster and the practice roster for a receiver. Dressler has a spot, as does Adams and between Stafford/Denmark, I'm sure ONE is guaranteed. MAYBE there's a spot for an absolute stud, otherwise it's backups and PR. But you NEED guys to throw to. 5 quarterbacks means you need fresh receivers always. Plus, you can always improve. Doesn't matter how good you think you are.

B/c if they did trust our current receivers we wouldn't have brought any extra players in...

Different kinds of offences will yield different actions. You can't really compare a PED offence to an assault. The Violence Against Women initiative I would also think plays a part in how this was worthy of a public statement like this.

Reason why RF went down......

So you're basically agreeing with exactly what Mike just finished saying....

Got to keep Clarence focused.

Also, injuries.

I can't remember the topic, but it was some big news a few weeks ago where the op gave the story and a link. The very first post after that was RS stating that he already knew this, but just didn't say anything. The next two pages devolved into their different cliques fighting over whether or not he looked like an idiot for posting that.

Can we convince Eichel to make a comment about Maurice

My favourite was a rider fan friend of Noellers trying to explain to me while we were drinking that Nealon Greene was just as good as Khari Jones.

Yes, absolute sarcasm. He's well reputed to be an ******* that no one liked. So when you couple harassment and possibly assault with a wholly unlikeable personality, you will eventually suffer the consequences. Then again, he just signed a new $20million/year contract and will get a huge severance package so its not like he's really "losing". Other then his reputation which wasnt any good anyway. Isnt he the guy that was audio recorded telling a woman he wanted to get in the shower with her and rub a felafel all over her (he meant Loofah but the image of a naked Bill O'Reilly rubbing a felafel all over some poor woman is unintentionally hilarious)

I think that is Brad Wall's wife. I am not clear on all the details but I think she officially lost the title of sister after she took her rubber boots off at the wedding.

Now, there's no question Bylsma sucks...he sucked as a player, he sucks as a coach....and I really don't think Tim Murray is much better.....having SAID that, when you start letting guys like Eichel call the shots, you have BIG problems...

Brian Elliott will be our backup next year...

The penalty is just in keeping to the spearit of the offence is all.. But seriously, there is no room for that kind of offence in any sport, 1st offence or not. It was a conscious decision on his part and that should be an automatic one game suspension..

Great thread. This news is a year stale at this point, but here's another semi-recent mindblowing space thing: scientists using the Hubble have found GN-z11, the most distant thing we've ever observed. It's 32 billion light-years from Earth. When we look at it, we're seeing it as it was just 400 million years after the Big Bang. I know this is the way space and lightspeed work, but it's still freaky to me to think that observing distant objects is a form of time travel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GN-z11

Man, I don't know how many times I clicked on that realtor's ad in error. My issue with that site is how many so called insiders they have. It seems everyone knows a guy but they don't post any info as it would disclose their source. They just come out of the woodwork after the fact and say oh I heard about this.

Commish making an example out of this one:

There are two reasons on why we may never see other intelligent life: 1. The huge distances between solar systems and galaxies. We may never discover a technology similar to “warp” or “light speed” that allows us to travel the distances required to go to another planet, or to create a telescope powerful enough to see that level of detail. At this point in our development, we haven’t even sent an unmanned probe to go investigate another solar system. Put that in perspective, Voyager 2, which was launched in 1977 is the furthest man made object away from the Earth (at least according to Wikipedia). It is .002 light years away from the sun. The next closest star is 4.2 light years away. 2. Humans have only been around for a very very very short time on this planet. It is entirely possible that we (and species like us) go extinct in such a short time relative to the universe that the chances of coming across a planet while a species like us is alive is very low.

Never forget " We're going to bring in good people first that happen to be good football players." - Chris Jones.

Sucks for them but that's what happens when you're willing to sign anyone and everyone regardless of their background. Sometimes the best defensive back you have decides to go and choke his girlfriend unconscious on a Saturday in April and all of a sudden you've got a massive hole in your starting lineup. as for Justin Cox? **** him. Human garbage.

An ugly site for an ugly province filled with ugly people

yea but theres no controversy with those lines of thinking..

CFL contracts not worth the paper they're written on. Just a big scam to sign players for the now & not tomorrow.

I think the real question is, does Bylsma look similar enough to Maurice and Noel that he could be hired here?

Keep in mind this is only a good trade if he fits within your salary structure - which he would not here.

The fact that Tor got him for so little suggests Mtl was trying to get rid of his salary...

Got to pay his salary though

yeah hes worth the pick on a gamble all day.

for that price (6th rounder) i'd have made that trade. Health is a big concern, but as you said if he can stay healthy he'd have upgraded our receiving corps big time

This other Jungle Book is not being made by Disney. This is being made by Warner Bros. Disney is very happy with how their version of the Jungle Book turned out. I don't know why WB's is bothering to do this.

I did, but then again I ain't a Flames fan so I don't buy the crap the media sells about that team being actually good. The only reason they did anything was when their goalies went on crazy hot streaks, less than insane level goal tending that team had a shitty record. Plus their record vs. playoff teams was poor, they feasted on crappy teams in the regular season. Total playoff pretender and not a surprise the Ducks dispatched them without much effort.

I think the point is more that you can't let it APPEAR like the kid is calling the shots. Whether the franchise guy does or doesn't have stroke isn't as important as the optics of a 20 year old punk American thinking he's bigger than the game.

hahaha, that's always been one of my favourite riderfan delusions... I have a good friend who is a Riders fan and I remember he used to try and convince me of that... I usually just laughed...

I hope not, considering one the first threads started was titled "Are the bombers still a dumpster fire?"

Maybe he can turn those bubble screens from chicken **** into Ceaser salad.

Third time being charged of domestic violence? Dude is garbage.

No Chris Szarka? He was a better player than Mike Sellers, you know.

Fourth sticky topic from the top, even. I went thru all of TrueBlue's 2015 corporate filings - after all the Bomber swag got loaded into the back of my car and a line was plumbed from the keg room to my house, I was able to determine there is no conflict of interest.

Fair enough. The answer is his reputation would be worse if his picks had turned out worse.

Love that Argos logo for sure. I'm quite happy with ours. There is nothing wrong with simple and basic. Many other teams, pro and NCAA follow the same rule of thumb.

So wish there was a "completely disagree with this" button...

Rather liked this one. We got worst one in league imho. Only made worse by the one from the 90s by a fan. Focking cheap.

Long story short, SPuDS is still optimistic
