sweep the leg

"B/c that's what had to be done to get Neufeld", said a guy with a grasp of the obvious.

I like listening to some of the US teams' announcers. It really makes you appreciate what we have.

I watched, but made good use of my PVR. With free Centre Ice right now, I was channel surfing between hockey games on Saturday. I'd go through the PVR of the Bombers game to see what was happening, but that was it. I blew through the entire game in maybe an hour, skipping ahead for most of the time we were on D. I did the same thing. Watched the first quarter PVRd the rest and went to the movies with the kids. Came back and just skipped through. First game I can remember truly not caring about....sad really! And BTW wow do you get free center ice?!? It's free for everyone until Oct. 19. I frickin' love it, but it may cost me my family if I keep it past then... On Shaw? I don't think I get it on Bell. Maybe I do IDK! I know it didnt get the last two Jets games damn BELL!! I have MTS, but I'm guessing it's free for everyone. Check it out tonight and see.

Get ready for all the boosters to tell us why this is such an unrealistic goal... Don't be a knob. Posts like this serve no purpose but to start arguments.

That's basically what we did. Neufeld for a 2nd rounder & Hall for a 4th rounder. Your previous post allowed for the fact that Neufeld & a 2nd rounder are equal value, so what's the problem? no sadly that's just more spin. No where is this trade being reported as Neufeld traded, Hall is the biggest part of this trade, he was traded for the o-lineman, but Walters couldn't pull the trigger on just that, he had to bend to Taman and add to make it happen. I don't think Neufeld for a 2nd is a good trade either for the record. Neufeld to me is something we already have on the roster. So even though this trade meets what you previously said was ok (though now you've flip flopped...), it's no good b/c it's not being framed that way in the media? Alright...

you can't do that because he's the key piece to this trade because he is the best player in the trade. Doesn't matter if he was gone anyway, the idea behind making those trades is to give something that may be gone and get something, we gave that plus something that could have been a long term solution in the draft pick. If the 2nd round pick and Neufeld have similar value then why did we include hall in the first place? Sorry people but Walters got schooled by a veteran GM on this trade. Taman gets a key piece for a grey cup try AND a pick to mitigate the loss of NI depth (someone that maybe he looses in the expansion draft anyway) Walters gets a player who may or may not be better than some of the guys on his team anyway.... trade for the sake of making a trade and he displayed poor asset management. The problem with this post is you're working under the false assumption you have any idea what Hall's trade value was around the league. It was a good trade for the Riders, so what? We got value as well. Do you think whomever we took at 11 would be a candidate to start at RT next season? Probably not, & that guy would be right around the same age as who we just picked up.

Yeah, I agree with that. Good observation. Taking Neufeld for a second pick? Nope not a chance. Haven't you completely contradicted yourself?

I think we've found something pretty good in Jarvis Jones. That's at least one positive. For Burke, I don't think he'll be back, but I also won't be shocked if he is. I give him a 50-50 chance of coming back if Walters sticks as our GM, and a 1% chance if we have a new GM. Based on what I've seen so far, I think Hall deserves an invite back to camp next year. I think he can improve to the point where he could be a viable backup.

I don't think the offense was worse under Kelly. We put up a 400 yard passing game, plus 3 more 300 yard games that season. That probably won't happen this season.

Willy plus a pick - 2nd round - and this is done and done. I don't know why you'd assume Hall has that much value. Willy is also a potential free agent. The second round pick should be conditional on him signing here. I'm pretty sure KBF meant a 2nd coming our way, which is overvaluing Hall.

A majority of posters on Riderfans are saying they'd deal Willy for him. I'd be all over that. I don't know if Willy will turn into a starter, but getting him for the expiring contract of an import de who most likely won't come back is more than worth it.

Mike's right, you're drunk.

Where was it said that everyone understood Burke would be awful?

Don't be stupid. The fans took it remarkably easy on the team last night. Cheering a former player doesn't rank anywhere near the top for the most embarassing moment in that game.

I haven't watched it at home yet, but what the hell was he doing running out of bounds like that? If it was as bad as it looked from the East side stands, somebody should have been yelling at him.

It's too bad that wanting a good player isn't the same as getting one.

Did he get him?

sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays... I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.

KBF, have you been playing on your "Jump to Conclusions" mat?

Both are expected back this week, per Shawn Churchill.

I'd love to see him come in and throw for 400 yards and 5 tds. As was already said, the ensuing **** storm would be fantastic to watch.

In somewhat of a defense of Boatmen, I've read he's been playing through several injuries this season. He wasn't nearly this terrible last season so it sound reasonable to me.
