JCon

Laine has said he believes he should go number one because he had the best season. That's hard to argue. I think he has had the best season out of his draft class. However, that's certainly not how scouting works. And the Leafs need a number one centre.

I'm excited for the sights and sounds of the stadium. I can't wait to see Harris line up in the backfield. I'm hoping to see Dressler run some routes. I'm excited to see who will get the first preseason sack. Bring it on!

A very clever caller just mentioned that perhaps Canadians are just adding "eh" to the end. "Line", eh?

Relocation fee will be near the expansion fee, I'm pretty sure. Board at Quebecor says purchasing a team is not in the plans right now. But when did we start trusting Mulroney again? I can't see anyone spending $700M+ (CDN) for a team right now to put them in Quebec City. How would you ever make that back?

Coaching is their weakest position and this deal would not help them. I would prefer to moving Myers at this time for a LHD, even with his preferable contract situation, for a LHD. I'm not really sure what we could get back.

I found the park and ride system to be the best means to get myself and my son to and from the games. My issue has been with the disorganization after the games, including where and when to load the buses. Sometimes they load at one spot, sometimes another 10 feet back (or forward). Wouldn't matter except that there is no formal queue system, so it's every person for themselves fighting to get on. There are some really observant and helpful people who try to help those in need get on. That does not include the Transit supervisors who create the mess. They are indifferent to suggestions or complaints and are strictly worried with no one crossing the street to load before it's time. They don't care where the bus stops or make any attempt to help with the queue. They also choose to load one bus at a time (at the start), which would make sense if there are only a few people trying to get on. However, when you have thousands, it actually delays the departure of buses and does not help. Of course, that's all thrown out the window after 15 to 20 minutes when all the buses seem to open their doors. Once you get on the bus, all is good. I find it fast and efficient; however, the mess they create leading up to that point is exasperating.

Confirmed. Penton says Richardson has torn his Achilles. More on this tomorrow.

I assumed when a kicker missed the field goal, they aimed the cannon at them!

On the micro level, for JSJ alone, you're correct but on the macro level, if this is Jones' approach, we win.

This is great news for the Bombers. Completely win-win. If Jones is successful, this lowers the cost of rookie NI O-linemen. That's a win for us. If unsuccessful, Jones creates a situation where players are less interested in signing with them. That's a win for us. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.

Yes, I went back and checked out his stats. I certainly remember him having a larger impact. Funny how that's clouded. Wonder what would have happened if he could have stayed healthy. That's another reason Henoc is wasting his career, IMO, sitting on the sidelines. An injury could end everything tomorrow and he's missing key earning time. When his football career is over, he can focus on other pursuits, but now is the time to earn, baby, earn.

Is he? At the time, he was a ratio-breaker and pretty darn good. Maybe, my memory is foggy and I'm remembering Lumsden more for his potential, rather than reality.

Wasn't it Irving/Buchko that secured it for CJOB last time? Other than conflicts with the Jets schedule, I can't see why TSN1290 wouldn't be the best fit.

If you could make it start at the south end zone and work it's way across the stadium to the north (or vice versa), that would be cool! I'm not a big fan of the "cannon". Yes, I know it's been around for ever but I never cared for it. I'm less concerned about what's happening on the field after a TD, as I'm usually high-fiving those around me.

It just doesn't seem plausible that Jones would low ball JSJ that much. I'm sure we're only getting part of the picture. I think JSJ has the most to lose, though, if negotiations drag on much longer.

True but... If you trade for him, you're not going to compete for him with other teams. You also have a guarantee on the contract. Who knows what they wanted in return though.

And he's active with fans, reaching out and meeting them. Autographs, Twitter, etc. I'm bias to defensive players, but I really, really (possibly love?) Westerman.

I love IGF for that. I like feeling close to the field and action. There is a cost, of course, with steeper stairs, but I think it's worth it.

It looks really nice. Good for the Riders and the CFL, that's for sure! I wish we could have sunk the bowl as low as was originally intended.

"We were disappointed that better players were not available when we drafted. We didn't really have much to choose from. But we drafted these guys and they'll play for less money than some of our veterans, so they'll undoubtedly make the squad. Wish we had more to choose from." - No GM Ever

I have no idea how full your glass is. My point is simply that incentive based contracts do sound like the ideal solution for GMs but may not always produce the ideal outcome. I do think this is a good deal for Riders.

You want a disgruntled employee? You tie their salary to incentives and watch them implode when they don't get enough opportunities to earn the bonus.

It must be terrible to try to set your draft order. So many good players on 'invites'. You just never know. GMs really earn there pay on draft day.

I'm happy for him and the Bombers but I'm sad for us (the readers). He provided some of the most thoughtful, balanced coverage of the Bombers and Jets. He's in the Hall of Fame, let's not forget.
