Creating a new site? Great. Giving back to the community. Nice. Using a competitors site to advertise then whining that he wasn't nice about you stealing his members on his site? Crap move. Feeling good about it? Gotta question your ethics.

As I expected almost half of Nichols INT's weren't picked off, making him the 3rd 'luckiest' QB in the league. Full article here: https://medium.com/@DTonSC/lucky-qbs-c7ee760d612

It's the very definition of using someone else's site to promote this one. Folks wouldn't have been able to PM you if you weren't on Colin's site in the first place. You want to pay for advertising or use Facebook, G+, Twitter, Pinterest or any of the other social media sites, fine... You want to send an email to everyone you know and ask them to pass it on to everyone they know. Great. You want to put an ad in the newspaper or Google or even pay Colin to advertise on his site, no problem.

It doesn't matter what went on behind the scenes. It's a crap move to use someone's site to promote your own site that deals with the same topic. No different than stealing OurBombers members emails and sending out a blast. I doubt you'd think it was OK for some folks on this site to make their own 'better' site and advertise it here. BTW: This in no way means you shouldn't have made up a new site if you had differences with Colin. It just means you shouldn't have used his site to 'steal' his users.

Bottom line is: Using Colon's site to promote your own new site was a crap move and I wasn't the least bit surprised that he censored the new site name. You guys literally wanted to take most of his members, which eventually ended in your site replacing his.

Glenn is serviceable and their receivers are great. The OL should be better than it was last year, so I expect that they will be able to put more points on the board this year, which should mean more wins. Enough to make the playoffs? I doubt it, but enough to show progress which MAY save Jones.

Richards needs to step it up this year or he'll be gone. NI's get more chances than IMP's, but Richards is quickly running out of them. He's played in 17 games over 2 years (About half the games) and has one catch. As he's also been holding down a salary for 2 years, that's one expensive catch. For that level of output, we might as well sign a non drafted NI receiver who is big enough to play special teams for the league minimum.

Don't drag me into this. ?

It's been down for about 5 days for me.

I'll play... I don't think that Faith is a first overall talent, but I'm resigned to the idea that he will be our pick. He should be able to rotate right away and we need another NI DL. As for Gray at 6... That's what I'd do. Someone said he got a 5K signing bonus, so they have less than the cost of a good party for the new guys in him right now. I expect he will be looking for work in the CFL by 2019 and he will have a couple of pro years under his belt under the best football coaches and facilities in the world.

Have you heard any negatives about anybody?

What is Jeffcoat going to do? No OL for him to go against.

I hope we didn't give him much of a signing bonus.

It could also mean that the Als don't think SJ will be ready to play as soon as TC or that his major knee surgery will limit his effectiveness or that they tried to renegotiate his contract and he wasn't interested.

Isn't there a date after which you can't poach other teams management in the CFL and aren't we past it already? Wouldn't that let O'Day out and anyone else who already has a job?

Effective June 30? Another piece of horrible timing of off season 'parting of company'. First Toronto waited too long to get rid of Barker, then Edmonton waited even longer to get rid of Hervey, now the commish says hold my beer and leaves too. SMH

It's funny how folks absolutely believed Odell when he tweeted, now they absolutely believe Coehoorn.

Just spin IMO. There's something rotten in the city of Edmonton. If it's actually about "philosophical issues" then they'd have canned Hervey at the end of the season. If it's actually about contract negotiations, then they could have fired Hervey at the end of the season or kept him on to work out the rest of his contract while looking for the new GM in the background. Heck, that would have been cheaper too as they wouldn't have to pay 2 GM's this year. I think there is more to the story.

I doubt that just 2 OL will be taken in the first round. They are gold in CFL drafts.

I'd certainly draft Gray if he's still on the board at #6. He's one of the best OL prospects. I wouldn't have any problems with letting the NFL get him pro ready as long as he's in blue and gold in a couple of years or so and there's the rub. No one knows how long Gray will be in the NFL or if he even makes an NFL team this year. That's an analysis that common fans just can't make. Hopefully our GM and scouts have a better idea.

That's exactly what I was saying. Richards has been unlucky for sure and lousy when he's been given chances.

I think we'll draft a receiver in the first or second round and he will go head to head with Richards for the last NI receiver spot this year. If newbie wins it, then Richards will either have another injury or will be among the last cuts.

There are giveaways and takeaways. Both are called turnovers.
