Addison Richards waves hi and sprains his wrist

nitpick

The days of minimum height/weight and upper age limits are now long gone. I know more than a few guys who started their police careers in their late 30's and early 40's.

I guess they could re-sign Dressler and then cut him, just to really really point that out

They have no qb, have lost several key pieces from last year's team already, and the next HC is stuck with the coaching staff that's already there. I'm fairly confident that when you factor that stuff in and combine it with the fact that LaPolice and his family have a pretty good situation here, it's going to have to be one heck of an offer to get him to willing jump into a Regina dumpster fire

I really think that the ghost of Pete Catan should probably recuse himself from the both the discussion and voting!

I think you're missing the point. We're called to rip on all thing Riders all the time. Because of Riderfans, it's our job to maintain balance in the force. Think of us as the Jedi of the CFL fanbase. Get with the program!

According to 3downnation, it would appear that Jones left the Riders, and the next HC, a bit of a parting gift: https://3downnation.com/2019/01/18/chris-jones-signed-riders-coordinators-to-two-year-contracts-report/

Right mind...

I would think you're right, but until they make that official, what HC candidate in his right mind would even consider taking on a position where the GM has not been officially named. You generally want to know who your boss is and know that he's happy with you in the HC role before you take on the position. Of course, if someone is willing to move to Regina, the "right mind" part of my argument gets blown right out of the water.

You do realize that you have to hire a new GM first right? Or is O'Day just taking over the VP and GM duties?

So viewership in up 19% from 2017 and Ambrosie says the new deal is an improvement in economics for the league, and your take-a-way from that is that because they won't say how much the new deal is worth it must be chicken feed? That maybe the network would rather not give the new leagues a starting point for negotiations might not have something to do with it? Na, you're right.

So IF the Bombers allow the Riders to talk to LaPolice (which will only happen after the new GM is hired), he can be hired as HC as long as he's willing to run an offence with no legitimate QB AND he has to keep pretty much the rest of the coaching staff for this year AND he has to live in Regina. Don't really see that as likely. I'm thinking that 2019 might be the funnest year in the history of the CFL!

"Dang, all that money to Bighill that could have been used to re-sign Streveler" said almost no one ever.

Nicklin because there are all stars in games and then there are all stars in life. Greatest Bomber ever.

As have I. From both sides of the table. Here's a primer for people to help them understand how this stuff works:

Fairly sure that Walters has a better idea of what's going on than you do. Crazy talk I know, but my gut's telling me I'm right.

I think that some people have quickly forgotten just how unreliable our kicking situation was just a few years ago. That we have secured Medlock for two more years is huge. Well done Walters!

Yes, he ordered an execution after holding a trial in an essentially ungoverned part of Canada versus someone who put a bounty on people because they're "different". That is a monstrously dumb comment and if you truly can't see the difference then there is no point in trying to have any further discussion.

Looks like I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue.

I can English good!

There was nothing wrong with what he wrote: in·ti·mate /ˈin(t)əˌmāt/ verb gerund or present participle: intimating imply or hint. "he had already intimated that he might not be able to continue"

I believe that if you are talking about something that will happen in the future, the word you want is proactive.

Being a member of the CFLPA is not a full time job. Playing football is. Football season is over. Did you really expect that through December all these people would be hunkered down on some hotel in Toronto? I'm pretty sure that talks have been going on all this time. If you've ever done contract negotiations there are often the "formal" negotiations and then there are the "informal" negotiations. The informal negotiations will set the stage for the formal ones, so I wouldn't get my panties all in a bunch. Just because you don't know what's going on doesn't mean they don't. Maybe give Ambrosie a call and see if you can be cc'ed into the discussions.

So what exactly needs to be made retroactive then?
