Does it not trouble you that your prized FA signing left tackle is being moved inside to guard? Before the season, many in riderland were talking about all your NI depth on the OL, like when Vonk got traded there was no room for him with all the talent you already have. Now you don't have any Canadians capable of playing guard? That would be concerning to me. Guy and Bladek are "only centres", and JSJ is what?

Still, even with housing, the PR pay is terrible. Can't blame any player for taking the opportunity to get off the PR as soon as they can.

Dangerous in the sense that we won't have accurate film on some of the stuff they might do. Hamilton gave Edmonton a run for their money. They have some talent and are going to win at some point. I don't think we should be afraid but this is exactly what a trap game looks like.

Vera's on Osborne.... give it a try

Well he did go to training camp with the Riders. After we traded him for the rights to Drew Willy.

So Hamilton is effectively going into this game with a new OC and DC as it sounds like June Jones is running the offence in practice. Could be dangerous depending on how much new stuff they show.

Not unusual at all. Happened with Josh Morrissey as well.

I can see the argument for not drafting Richards in the first place but I don't see what we lost by keeping him around.

There is no chance in hell that Trump ends up in jail.

They ran a split back set at times last game

What's the lesson?

Personally I could never return to a workplace where I'd been demoted. I'd be surprised if Reinebold remains with the team in any capacity.

Clickbait would be "CFL Week 8 Power Rankings.... you won't BELIEVE who we ranked #6!!" and then you have to click through to a new page for each team in the power rankings.

I find it difficult to blame a guy for walking away when his pay is cut to that degree, especially at a point in his career where he must already be weighing the potential benefits of playing versus the costs to his personal health. It is also my understanding that a PR deal can be walked away from at any point, so he wouldn't have had to retire to get out of his contract. But I'm not sure of the details on that.

I guess L'Damian Washington would return to the roster, or Gary Chambers would get a shot. Hopefully Thorpe plays though, he has been a valuable part of the offence.

Yeah, Jermaine Gabriel got injured this week so they needed some depth.

I didn't even know that happened. Was there a report of this?

It would seem that this was not a good draft pick

At one point in the 4th quarter it was 9-3. Maybe that's when he began to wonder.

They said at the beginning of last season that the refs warned teams they would be looking for hands to the face blocks. Seems our nasty boyz are the ones who get called for it the most. Whatever, **** the rules, we're the meanest team in the CFL. Eye gouging, nut punching, body slamming sons of guns, just like Mike O'Shea was.

That's what I'm thinking. Year 1: 7.0 2: 7.5 3: 7.5 4: 8.5 5: 8.5 6: 9.0 7: 10.0 8: 10.0 8 years, $68M for an $8.5M AAV. Seems somewhat reasonable. Only possible downfall is if he becomes a band-aid, locker-room cancer or a cokehead. The skill is definitely there.

I think the chance of a crossover was almost 100% already. The real question now is.... will the Riders have a better record than the second place team in the East and get screwed out of a playoff spot??? God I'd love to see that.

Tough break for the Argos but can't say everyone didn't see this coming

Yeah I got it.

Uranus opens and closes to let out wind. Come on.
