  1. I think the CFL is ready to pounce in UFL cities if the league folds. There's a lot of negativity about the league in the media down south since that billionaire bought the UFL. Got rid of GM's & scoutinmg staff. Players not making a lot of money. Older players being tossed aside for the 21 & 22 years olds as the UFL is a developmental league now. Everything is centralized now under his watchful eye. I'm sure training camps will be in the same place or close by. No community involvement at all.
  2. I'm sure a bantam or pee wee team could use him. There's a lot of Dad coaches he can learn from.
  3. My great nephew goes to university... Rhodes College in Halifax.
  4. If Tommy Condell was hired, it would be the same thing...The run game is an afterthought with him.
  5. He's always been like that. Stories of him being a shithead in Calgary over a decade. Hufnagel finally got rid of him.
  6. I think if anyone can afford to go on a holiday to a sunny resort anywhere then they should pay for the privelidge. We, the poor Canadians who stay home in the winter, if we want to fly in order to see family in Canada, we pay for it big time. I've never travelled anywhere in the winter. We travel in the summer. Prefer to drive over flying. In 2 years when my wife retires, we're planning a road trip to Halifax. We have family & friends in New Brunswick & Ontario. I've never beem east of Toronto. You're late!! It's mine.
  7. How is it apparent? Until an official announcement comes down the pike, nothing has changed.
  8. Fly from Calgary to Winnipeg it's $700 so who cares?? I'd rather domestic flights be cheaper than flights to sun destinations.
  9. The offense even with an actual qb in Dru Brown under Condell in Ottawa was still so bad,
  10. Why would Corey Mace leave the Riders to go to that dumpster fire in Toronto? It's idiotic for them even to ask yet they did. What an embarrassing phone call that must have been for Pinball...."Please come back. Pleeeeze!!!" Mace would have to be crazy to leave what he has in Regina. The problem seems to be two or 3 fold. One, is being on the road virtually all season next year & just 6 home games. Then there's the lack of committment to make the team better by MLSE. Then having Pinball & Murphy there & having to answer to them. If MLSE was serious, they'd fire or reassign Pinball & Murphy. Let someone else come in & have total control of football operations. Murphy is a ****** & seems that a lot of CFL people don't like him which is why he isn't a CFL GM by now. Murphy had a fistfight with Hamilton fans a few years back & was indefinitely suspended. Then after Murphy returned to the Argos, he dismissed the sexual harrassment by Kelly. Murphy even blamed the woman involved for making it all public & "opening up a can of worms" for Kelly & the Argos. Pinball knew about the sxexual harrassment as well & did nothing. Both should have been fired. Pinball & Murphy's involvement in the day to day operations is really interfering in the hiring of a new GM/HC. To the point the Argos will hire someone so low on the totem pole that he will grind the Argos into the ground.
  11. Not Condell. please. He's as bad as Hogan. . I'd like to sdee him work with zach.
  12. Jeff Reinbold knew more about football than any of us. So did Tim Burke. Then there's Jim Daley... better known as The White Zombie. Bob Dyce as well. Craig Dickenson, too. You never mentioned them. They all knew more than us... maybe.
  13. The team is built on Hellebuyck holding the fort in close games until we score. Comrie isn't a Vezina goalie. He can't do that.
  14. Don't really care. I'll still take Matty.
  15. I have a feeling that he loves the colour of money a lot more. They add players all the time without informing them.
  16. Maybe wait until Connor Hellebuyck comes back. I mean, it's not like we have a quality replacement on the team. Our team is built on the back of Hellebuyck. If we keep losing with him in the lineup, then yes.
  17. So, why is he on our Neg List? He'll never come here unless his playing career craters. I mean, maybe we'll see him somewhere in the CFL in five or 6 years if the NFL doesn't work out. What does the CFL pay? Seventy thousand a year Canadian on a 2 year rookie deal. Just a waste of space on our Neg List. Am I wrong?
  18. Danny Mac played behind Tom Clements? Danny Mac never did. The backups in 87 (Clements last year playing) were Tom Muecke & some kid named Pete Riley who never saw the field. John Hufnagel was released & signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. .
  19. Thanks, that's all I was talking about. You'd read the odd grousing here on MBB as well.
  20. He was never totally accepted. By SOME fans. Not ALL fans. Like do we nee That's what I mean. Like how hard is it to understand that, Piggy???? The more high profile the Rider player, the more hate.
  21. Dressler was never fully accepted. I would.
  22. Demski is a special case being that he's from Winnipeg & played for the Bisons. Not his fault the Riders drafted him.
  23. I guess I have a hard time actually believing a professional coach with the much experience still hasn't figured it out yet. I;m more disappointed than angry. I could never imagine some the modern coaches saying that. McVay with the LA Rams, Harbaugh with the LA Chargers, Campbell in Detroit, Andy Reid in KC, Siriani in Philly. In the CFL, Dinwiddie in Ottawa, Maas in Montreal. Every training camp should be challenging & competitive. Same with practices & preparation during the season. I'm glad Osh is doing some self reflection & actually follows through on changes.
