And this is me telling you to get lost because I don't need to justify a damn thing to you. There is absolutely nothing in my post getting on Bluto's case other than taking a shot at the Argos fan base size. You went after Wheeler with more veracity yesterday but you tend to forget your own being a jerk moments. Really, this whole thing isn't about Bluto at all, because my comments are pretty benign, it's about you trying to take a swipe at me under the cover of moral superiority. It's your MO.

I think Mike and JCon do. Being frikken jerks. Again piss off Mike. I really don't value your opinion enough to care what you have to say about this. I've seen the way you operate as a poster and it leaves a lot to be desired a lot of times. I don't stick my nose into it when you are acting like a grade A jerk. You take passive aggressive to a whole new level then preach to others. SMH.

Piss off Mike...don't need your holier than thou shtick. You are no better than that here half the time so save your indignation and go look in the mirror. You take more sideswipes at people than all the rest of us combined. No talking out my ass at all. There was a running narrative over on LionBackers questioning his attitude since mid-season last year. Feel free to do some homework before calling someone out for talking out their ass or it ends up being you doing it.

Betcha he knows the price of every bottle of scotch by heart.

For sure, you sign them as they are available and then continue to try upgrade over them.

Thiadric was not healthy all year last year imo. Not sure if the achilles will be the end of his career but we gave him more game time last year than we probably should have. He wasn't good unfortunately.

I don't see Harris lasting all season, and I don't think they have a hope of winning more than a game or two without him. Mason Fine is hot garbage. Speaks to his credibility as a poster. I know that living in your Toronto bubble and occasionally spending time at other CFL forums leaves you out of the loop, but Migs is generally regarded by all CFL fans in all CFL forums as a wingnut....even his own teams forum posters acknowledge it and are embarrassed by him. When your team gets a fan forum someday you will understand.

You have an average 4-5 year career, and putting your body through a meat grinder for that amount may sound like a good deal to those of us who don't do it, but to those that do I guarantee you that the vast majority aren't doing it just for a CFL pay cheque. It's nonsense to suggest that these guys come to the CFL because it represents their best financial opportunity. Take a look at the resumes of a LOT of the players in our league, they are not dummies that are unable to earn a living any other way. Sure you got exceptions to that rule with guys like Nick Marshall etc, but the vast majority of guys in the CFL are coming here to try keep their NFL dream alive and demonstrating a good attitude and a winning attitude is extremely important to those chances. I can guarantee that the drive to win is one of the top things the Bombers recruiters look at when they go South. I would think that it is important to pretty much every CFL team to varying degrees.

One of the greatest players in CFL history. RIP Kenny Ploen.

I am glad the Rider troll came over here. Made me look at the West so far and how everyone's rosters are shaping up. Last year only BC was a serious threat to us and a boat load of talent walked out their door. Way more than what we lost. Calgary, and the Riders look to be treading water from last year, and Edmonton might jump back into that 2nd tier. Toronto took some heavy losses in the East. I like our Grey Cup odds a lot actually, We have by far the best roster in the league imo.

Didn't want to restructure and has a suspect attitude as well. I really thought he would end up in Regina if you know what I mean.

I went over and looked at their depth chart, Wheeler is seriously trying to suggest that Thurman, Reavis and ?? is better than Biggie, Wilson and Kramdi? What a joke. Thurman at MLBer is not the same as Thurman at WIL, he wasn't good at MIKE at all. Teams ran at him all day and it wasn't pretty. I think half of Oulette's season totals came against Hamilton because he was abusing Thurman so badly all year. Sure Thurman got his 98 tackles, most of them being dragged behind Oulette.

Yes, and if history has taught us anything that will turn to despair once the season gets a few games in. Two things you can count on during FA frenzy every year, Migs or whatever nom du jour he is using will come here and demand respect for the RIders and tell us all how fantastic O'Day's offseason so far has been, and Booch and the rest of us making uncannily accurate predictions about how their season will really go. I mean if I were a Rider fan I would never read our site. We lay out an exact blueprint for their season every year that is proven to be astonishingly accurate. It's like we all are the Amazing Kreskin of Rider prognostications. So Wheeler, get yourself a bottle of chokecherry wine cause here it goes. 1. Trevor Harris will be out by the mid point of the season with a career ending injury. He is just too fragile now, and too old to heal quickly. 2. The Riders defence will again be awful and will get run over playing with an undersized LBer crew again. 3. Marc Mueller will be the worst OC in the CFL by a country mile and the Riders will struggle mightily to score points 4. The Riders will finish 6-12 and O'Day will be fired shortly after the season ends. You can take most of that to the bank Wheeler/Migs. If you think that my post is a joke go back in the post history for the last 10 years and see how often my predictions on the Riders are out to lunch. You will be very disappointed after.

QFT. Imagine being so void of winning anything that your team signing an old veteran tackle on his last legs, and a bunch of mid tier talent, gets you primping around like a rooster. As long as Harris/Fine are the QBs, and Mueller is the OC that team goes nowhere no matter who they sign.

You are completely out to lunch. Wilson was awesome this year, and Bighill was an all star. Go back to your hole Migs.

I like Walters ability to find guys that represent good value for the money we spend. I'm sure there will be a few like that added. Our only big loss was Yoshi. The rest, it was time or we had just as good in house already.

When you have recruitment as good as ours, you gotta lean on it every few years so that we don't blow our SMS structure up and try build through FA like a certain green team hasn't figured out yet. Honestly blows me away that they had the chance to start an earnest rebuild this year and instead are running it back with a 40 year old QB and blowing their wad in FA. SMH. Mace is a yes man to O'Day, and this won't end well for them.

...and teach there? U of S could use the help I suppose.

For sure. This is likely his last big year of earning. He had to set himself up. Good chance he doesn't see the 2nd year of that payout. That's not a knock on Yoshi, just the reality that O'day will likely lose his job after the season and the new GM is unlikely to value a 250k contract to a IMP RT. Just the reality.

Thing is with Harris, is that he is an interception machine if he is pressured and he will be pressured. However, he has shown some fragility the past few years so I don't expect the Riders get a whole season from him.

Yep. Godber is average at best, Ferland is a disaster, and Blake won't get past game 2 and will be below average at best even if he does. His sister asked us too. She needed a break. Nothing has changed. We know how to recruit unlike teams that play in a big rectangular province. Therefore, moving on from players while maintaining a championship calibre team is a lot easier for us. Having said that, BO is back and is going to truck you guys while we hold the one dimensional Oulette to 35 yards on 10 carries.

Migs is by far the densest. Even his own fan base thinks so.

North end of Winnipeg would be the nice section of Regina.

We will finish 5-6 wins ahead of you.....AGAIN....and you will still not shut your pie hole....AGAIN....Oh Migs you never learn. I've never seen a fan more dense than you.

That award was a result of Paddy Neufeld covering his ass all year last year. He will find it very uncomfortable playing next to the absolute most garbage interior OL in the CFL for many years now.
