Fixed that for you.

It really doesn't matter what Young's injury is. It was all about publicity stunt to distract fans from the sad state of affairs in Riderville. Bennett may turn out to be a serviceable quarterback, but what 75%-80% of the pivots that get to the CFL ever make any sort of mark here, so the odds are against him. Still, with the slim pickings in Riderville, he may even start a few games before the axe falls on Jones and the inevitable housecleaning begins.

In consistency from a rookie kicker should be no surprise. Medlock is great, but he is an import, and getting a bit long in the tooth, so looking ahead is smart. If he has the leg strength, he ought to be able to learn how to place -kick.

Aaand he's still dead, regardless.

Despite O'Shea's gushing over Mr. Hurl, he will never be a hall of fame candidate.

Well, if you live long enough, maybe...

Cue the fecal humour.

And if he is, you will.........?

That will probably count for two wins in Rider thinking according to their math.

Sounds like Bartlett is definitely worth a look, now that Waggoner has bailed and Hurl doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire at training camp.

Sorry, Ripper, but it will take divine intervention plus at least two starting quarterbacks in the western conference being put on the D/L for extended periods for the Riders to win 8 games. I look at the Rider roster and see so many problems. No matter how good a coach is (and I am not conceding Jones to be a good coach), you gotta have the horses. I expect Jones to field what will be pretty much a season-starting roster in the exhibition games to silence the critics and hope to inspire the team. Without a miracle, the Riders will be looking at 5 or 6 wins with a bit of luck, but I think Glenn will be treated for PTSD before Labour Day.

Words of high praise from Tristan.

p Predicting a west-to-east crossover may be a tad premature. By my admittedly amateur estimation, every team in the east has a better QB and coach than the Roughies and I argue that only Montreal has a GM who is as bad as Jones. It would give me great pleasure if Sask got bumped out by an eastern team. It could happen.

Ooooh...burn.

I recall that Bob sounded relieved that a caller actually took Reinbold to task. Memorable, because, according to a gentlemen's agreement, Bob was not allowed to be critical of Reinbold or any BB coach.

If Nichols and the rest of the team continues to progress, I think 12 and 6 is realistic. The jokers in the deck are whether or not we will have a solid MLB and a couple of receivers who can stretch the field.

No one is irreplaceable but Bob is a close as you can get to that. Winnipeg has been fortunate to have so many great sportscasters/reporters: Bob Irving, Don Whitman, Jack Matheson, Cactus Jack, etc etc.

Isn't that an oxymoron- like "military intelligence"?

Any bets on where he poops?

And you forgot to mention that as a result of his usage of steroids, Denmark cannot play in the CFL this season but has been cleared to run in the Kentucky Derby.

Damn. I didn't realize the O'Shea was pregnant, let alone having given birth. Gotta keep up.

If Bennett didn't think he could beat Nichols out in a fair matchup, we are well rid of him and both he and the Riders deserve each other. If Bennett saw that O'Shea would keep starting Nichols no matter what, that would concern me. We seen that movie before.

This is a problem with damage to his right knee. Apparently his bones are made of spun glass and his ligaments are boiled spaghetti.

Isn't he on second base?
