Your sources on this sound just as believable as Stronson's sources.....eerily similar actually. Maybe it is true.

And now you have given away where he can be found to the hitmen. Nice. Nate, if you are reading, stay in the basement of your bookstore for a couple of days.

You mean Canada's team is not allowed to do whatever it wants? How dare you.

But did you explain it to them using Sesame Street characters and crayon drawn charts and graphs. If not, the point was probably lost on most of them.

No soup for you. That line?

I too have gazed into my crystal ball regarding the Riders and it is bleak....very bleak.

I wish I knew how to do GIFs on here. Stronson reminds me of Cartman "Do not question my authoritah!"

Yea....Stronson has about as much inside information on the CFL as my poodle does.

That'll get you banned. Stronson was on an incredible run of his "inside sources" being completely out to lunch last year and he starter ban hammering anyone who brought it up.

They are still clinging to the notion that the Bombers are evil and that Lapo is a hostage. I love it. In a week or so they will hire a coach and throw Lapo to the wolves by telling everyone they dodged a bullet by not getting permission to hire Lapo so that they could hire (insert new HC name here).

If Riderfans want to be mad at someone they should be mad at Jones for leaving them high and dry, or Reynolds for negotiating such a stupid contract that allowed this to happen.....that doesn't fit the narrative of the moderation over there though. They've been selling Jones and Reynolds as the Riders saviors for so long now that this puts them in quite the bind. But like any experienced fan forum member they will instead create the Bomber bogeyman to distract the membership at large from realizing how grossly incorrect the Jonestown fan club really were.

Saying Lapo is very upset creates far more clicks than saying he was mildly disappointed. I don't believe that Farjan had any conversation with Lapo while he was in Kansas yesterday, and I believe whoever fed him this info, he took it and blew it up for reasons of readership.

Absolutely, but we are not paid to be accurate. He is. He has been uncharacteristically very inaccurate over the past couple months. I am wondering if he is getting big pressure to create click bait.

Staying in Winnipeg will take a ton of the sting away for Paul. At the end of the day he, and his family, LOVE Winnipeg. It has probably already blown over.

Screw Farhan, he still thinks there is a chance that Bighill will be a Lion this year. Sour grapes because we beat the Leos to the punch.

I am kinda scared. Stronson has it on good authority from his multitude of inside sources that Lapo is going to quit and take a year off, he is so mad. We all know that Stronson is not a fan forum member, he is a super secret CFL spy that knows everything going on behind the scenes of every club. I totally agree with your take. January 20 is way too late in the game for teams to be replacing coordinators without weakening themselves greatly. Not sure why the Rider fans feel the Bombers are obligated to let Lapo possibly go at this stage of the game. Just because Craig Reynolds was too stupid to put a drop dead date on Jones leaving doesn't mean we have to be equally as dumb.

Well done KW and Dayna Spiring. well done.

Wellington Altus is owned by the husband of our BOD vice chairperson Dayna Spiring....so not as off base as you are making it sound. But it ain't cheating so screw em all.

Toronto may be a joke attendance wise but the GTA provides very solid CFL viewership numbers to TSN and is a big reason the rest of the CFL has the TV deal it does. Don't be fooled by attendance. People like the Argos and watch them in Toronto, you just won't get them to go to a game because their game day experience has been complete garbage for a long time.

There is absolutely zero truth to the rumor that Bighill was at the Canucks game with Wally and Hervey. That would be tampering. Hervey and Wally are not idiots, they would not sit front row of a broadcasted Canucks game with a player that is under contract to another team. I can't believe any of you fell for what is quite obviously a troll job.

Not a fan of Nik Lewis's personality, but I sure loved watching a pot bellied receiver still balling out there. Reminds me of me, and my friends, playing oldtimer beer league hockey when every once in a while us old pot bellied pork rind eaters would use our smarts and beat down some young bucks. Puts a little air in your step after.

The Riders will miss Murphy. Yea...he's a bit over rated but he beats the crap out of O'Daisy at scouting.

He is....and this is a big loss for the Riders. Not only for his scouting but for the amount of GM work he was doing also. Jones, already sliced way too thin, now has to find a way to get the work done that he had Murphy doing.

I guess the Argos are in the business of flying people to town, interviewing them, probably wining and dining them just for shits and giggles. Who knew?

BC could only hope their FA is as good as the speculation. Reilly, Bighill, Loffler, Chungh....they apparently have the inside track on everyone.
