This just in...Bennett hype has been suspended until further notice

TSN Hamilton is a breath of fresh air for CFL. Dedicated show and talk everyday. But flagship TOR station its quite rare to hear any talk. As far as attention to CFL in morning and drive time shows they are as good as Rogers media at pretending it doesnt exist

That,s why I said subtle. The Jones defenders have to build a case for whomever takes over at qb in order to absolve Jones of any blame in the Durant deal and it starts with hype. The usual suspects have gone all in for Jones and will say just about anything. Dont know why you cant see it

As predicted Bennett hype is climbing the charts as Young fades. Even a subtle "better than Durant" is getting a test drive

Rider fans: If they lose tonight : "Sooo optimistic, did you see so and so do that thing in the third qtr.? Jones and Murphy blah blah blah" If they win tonight: "I TOLD YOU THEY WERE GONNA BE AWESOME" . Jones and Murphy blah blah blah

Cats bringing almost all backups and hopefuls tonight. Finally get a look at third string qb Everett Golson

Hodge podge in HAMs secondary last year proved crippling. Opposition OCs sniff out weaknesses pretty quick. Riders will be feasted on .

And if someone asks to be reminded why exactly that future plaza of honour QB was dumped on the street like a sack of crap if Young or Glenn have nothing to do with the The Plan they will be rebuked for digging up the past and being a small minded Jones hater

When Young is cut or leaves Jones defenders will disavow the the whole notion as having anything to do with The Plan to rebuild the team. It will be dismissmissed as a lark, an interesting long shot gamble and in no way a reflection on Jones, Murphy or scouting. Book it

Point is the Riders desperately need a good story at Qb and they will go hog wild with hype with even the appearance of one

As the Vince Young thing fades away watch the Bennett hype climb correspondingly

Just wait for the Rider fan spin machine go to 11 when Young is cut loose

Gainey was an average db and was a liability when put at corner. Dyakowski was getting routinely beat last year. Yes the passport is handy but doesnt he still have to actually perform when he plays ? And Riders gave up a starting receiver for that?

You didnt hear about their incredible new scouting?

It,s the prevailing narrative in order to bolster Jones. Same goes for the Chick, Dressler and Durant files. There will be whole new official narrative for the Jones era and his replacement once he,s fired too.

Rider Defense better be good. May well be on the field all night every night

Riders: 6 to 8 wins. No playoffs but success and vindication declared whilst they watch everyone else in West play in Nov and fantasize about future. Jones and his helper monkeys spin another sub 500 year into "we' re close" despite all the assurances high Rider standards would never tolerate another losing season Just a prediction, mind you

Turtle Derby in the east. Collaros is still best qb in the division so they will be in top two with OTT. TOR and MTL will be hard pressed to fend off crossover. CAL, BC WPG bunched together. EDM fights and beats SSK for scraps

The select few over there are determined to paint a rosey picture no matter what. At the same time pity the fool who questions credibility

HAM isn t ready yet. Too many stadium and legal issues. Hotel space and hospitality questions remain too.

The way many Rider fans are talking? No I dont think they know anymore. They have bought into Jones so strongly and blindly

Because a lineman rolled on him in practice? Verdict will be in on Jones when we see what Glenn etc do. Not what Durant does in MTL

All the more bizarre is Rider fans should know this. Glenn has a huge resume that every CFL fan has seen especially his diminishing play. How so many have been bamboozled into thinking hes an equal replacement is frankly baffling

Bad enough Riders lose Durants skill set you lose the intangibles. He, s mentally tough, fights through adversity. Traits that do not and will never apply to Glenn

Dont think team ever considered bringing him back. The fact some Rider fans were willing to is reprehensible
