There was an idea that I seem to recall that was floated around a few years ago about a team being alowed to to keep a Canadian quarterback on the roster as a development player who would not count against the roster limit or the salary cap. Still sounds like a good idea to me.

What else is there to do in Saskatchewan? Nothing. Fixed. And yes, you are right. I am a die hard rider fan (and blades and huskies), but other than sports, there is very little to do here. I'm actually looking to move away. Skiing on Mount Jockstrap isn't thrilling enough?

He went down to de-feet.

This shouldn't even be a debate. Bellefeuille's performance as offensive coordinator needs to closely assessed but Etcheverry ought to be a dead man walking. The dithering on O'Shea's part does not reflect well on him.

I vote about 50 times but lost ground the whole time.

Not that I would want him back here as a head coach, but its strange that NOBODY seems to have considered Doug Berry as a head coach. His record here was pretty good given the circumstances of his term, and maybe he doesn't want the aggravation any more.

They've already promised to try real hard next year. What more can you ask?

I would welcome Benevides as a DC but he will probably want to lick his wounds for awhile- most do, and Burke was the exception. Huffer will have to promise Dickenson the head coach job within a couple of years to keep him in Cowgary, and if Trestman returns to the CFL (still iffy), he would create a ripple effect if he takes a presently-filled job on Montreal. I figure Wally will be given a year to right the ship in Vancouver and that will put pressure on him to have a competitive, durable quarterback by next spring, I still think Khari would be a good fit here. Stay tuned for further developments.

It would certainly be a strange symmetry if Marshall replaced Etcheverry once again- this time in Winnipeg.

Randolph Scott retired and became active in the LA gay community. And if you don't believe that he was gay, you would probably also have a hard time accepting that Danny Kaye and Sir Laurence Olivier were a couple. Nooooo....and all these years I thought that old cowpoke was a straight shooter! Not sure if he was a "cow-poke".

Busy little beaver, that Walters. I'm pretty sure he's a human. He has big teeth and brown hair, but no tail. It's a toss up... Why do these threads always end up with a sexual reference?

By "all you guys" he was referring to Sask media and fans who collectively have the IQ of a house plant. You apologize. That's an insult to all house plants You may be right. I asked the Diefenbachia and it snorted but it has ties to Saskatchewan.

Are you aware that you will have to go through both a body cavity search and the sheep dip bath? And bring donuts?

Why is it that when Messam changes uni's he looks great for awhile then disappears. I think we'd be better off sticking with Fitzgerald and bring him along. Fitzgerald is another wasted pick from Mack. Even his LS'ing is not good when the Bombers need replacement when Wild was injured. We need someone that D will respect when he has the ball. Messam might not be as explosive during his first year but how many times did he burn our D this year? Agreed. Fitzgerald is not a rookie and has not been for some time. He needs to come to training camp with the expectation that he will either show more than he has or be gone. He has shown a few flashes of promise,but after awhile that is not enough.

Give it a few more days.

There appears to be genuine fire behind the smoke here- should be a very interesting off-season for the Riders.

Are you dense? Both walters and o'shea were very direct in their year end pressers... I swear, some posters on here think everyone elses coaches Nd management are the elites and ours are devious villians.. I didn't say there was no acknowledgement of problems by Bomber coach and management- I said that there ought to have been more. I found it little short of insulting that O'Shea was telling us that all was well for the past three months when it obviously wasn't. Before you accuse me of demanding that O'Shea should have thrown players and coaches under the bus in mid-season, there is a vast difference between saying that there needs to be improvement in certain areas and public humiliation of those fingered as the guilty parties. I cannot speak for Walters, but he seems to be doing what is needed to fill the holes in the lineup, but I am concerned that the same mindset by O'Shea which seemingly refused to admit major problems in this year's team will influence him to keep with the same players, coaches and philosophy that fell short this year.

Retired players... Wear with pride. Well, #11 Ken Ploen, #27 Dave Raimey, #77 Ernie Pitts, #64 Bill Frank, #55 Joe Critchlow, #7 Don Jonas, #52 Harry Walters, #30 Brian Herosian, #27 Jay Washington, #38 Willard Reaves, #35 Tyrone Jones, #10 Rod Hill, #2 Tom Clements, #70 Jeff Boyd.... Those guys come to mind. I always loved Brian Herosian's nickname. The Armenian Assassin. I met him a few times after he was done playing football. What comes to my mind about Brian Herosian was the horrible accident that took the lives of his wife and child.

Good move, and we need all the help on the D-line we can get. I just hope that our defensive schemes will improve.

Considering how badly my "predictions" bombed last week, I hesitate to try again, but Hammy over Montreal and Calgary over Edmonton. I ought to be safe with my second choice at least.

Hopefully he is with Doctor Handsome and they are spooning somewhere. Jealous?

Plus Lewis puts on more weight every year. Next season he ought to scale out about the same as a Ford F150.

Hoping he works out with us as he just re-signed how about '100% Cotton'? It's also my wife's maiden name so I'm partial to it. :-) Your wife's maiden name is one hundred percent??
