Fatty Liver

Ottawa receives permission to discuss DC opening with Rider defensive backs coach Josh Ball.

Tainted by loser's sweat, not good.

The executive office in Hamilton is already crowded, hard to say how much say the GM has with Scott Mitchell CEO and Orlando President, plus 2 other assistant GM's already on staff.

Agree, the rebuild began this past season with many hard decisions made, it will likely continue next season with an equal number of hard decisions. The canary in the coal mine are the regular season games against the Argos and Als, continue losing to them in the regular season and it shouldn't come as a surprise when they lose to them again in the playoffs. To think a different result is likely to happen is flying too close to Riderfan-dumb. Leaf rejects.

3 rookie receivers in Wilson, Clercius and Wheatfall that are fully taxed learning the CFL game and the routes assigned to them, nevermind ad-libbing broken plays they have no clue when to break off. They have no relationship with the QB and are probably scared to talk to him, Zach's "anger translator" and glue guy Woli gets knocked out for half the season. What could go wrong??? Should have brought back Zach's buddy Greg Ellingson for one last fling.

Yah, strange Lions taking a wide scatter shot approach, thought Rigmaiden would bring them into focus, go out and get what they need.

The fact billionaires like Edwards and Tanenbaum are collecting revenue sharing payments from community owned teams to help support their teams should be embarrassing to these high risk captains of capitalism.

Interesting to see which way the Bombers would go if they lost Buck. @FarhanLaljiTSN #BCLions have asked for permission to interview #Riders OC Marc Mueller for their HC position. BC is casting a wide net. #Bombers have asked for permission to speak to Lions OC Jordan Maksymic for their OC position, in the event they lose Buck Pierce to a HC job.

A well written in depth article by 3DN, no other CFL media brave enough to turn over rocks like this.

Agreed, the CFL media grabbed this dynasty discussion and ran with it and in many cases twisted it into abject failure rather than a side-effect of a successful franchise.

In the end whether O'Shea continues with an injured Collaros, rookie Wilson or an unprepared Dolegala I think the result remains much the same, the Argos were playing well as a team and would have found multiple ways to win the game. The issue was not having a well prepared capable backup ready to step in when Zach went down, which did happen in multiple games this past season. Strevy. may have made the game interesting if healthy but he's been out of action for over 2 months, so Buck had plenty of time to prepare a backup. Question is do they go into next season with the exact same approach, or do they learn from this and avoid making the same errors in judgement again?

Speaking of Bailey, yowzers, gold ribbon for anyone that can sit through this start to finish. He starts talking about last year 38:00. He freaks on children. 1:04:40 I'm a gonna take a nap.

30 min. long video, he answers all questions.

Arbuckle Masoli MBT Maier Ford Streveler Maybe add Fajardo to the list, rumour is Maas wants Cody back and Maciocia is pushing for Alexander to take over. Not enough #1 jobs to go around, a few of these guys are going to have to accept a drop in expectations and pay to secure #2 jobs. I hope the Bombers rethink the "all eggs in one basket" strategy and seriously consider bringing in a security blanket to avoid reliving bad decisions, which in turn create bad memory scars that will last a lifetime.

Allows teams on the fence like the Riders or Ti-Cats to go after Adams aggressively early on with the option of re-signing established vets. Trevor Harris or BLM if they strike out.

Don't see a problem with their strategy, it lets all other teams know the race has begun, the team that signs Adams will be the one that is most proactive, not the most patient.

Doman still made out like a bandit with a 50k+ crowd, maybe he could have drawn another 5k if the Lions were in the game. Wade would be ecstatic if they could draw a crowd like that.

Reality is they need to find cheap replacements in a number of positions to compensate for overspending on positions like receiver, RB and increasingly DB. It's very likely Jones or some other new-no-name is in that spot next season, they won't spend biggish $$ on an established MLB in FA as long as Bighill is still in house.

Possibly, but he stepped in and played WIL in front of Ayers and Cole before moving to MLB, so I think he does have more versatility than you suggest.

Tony Jones is a FA, they'll likely sign him for 2 years at a little over $100k, Kyrie range, Biggie can give it another go, but they'll have Jones locked in and loaded ready to go if he falters.

Willie will be at Kyle's door first in line to negotiate before the end of this week, Neuf will be right behind him. Neither uses an agent, but they both know the earliest bird gets the worm and asking for too much ends careers quickly. Willie is invested in his own brand, he's probably not going to throw that all away after establishing himself and his family so solidly in Winnipeg.

What's to become of co-GM Neil McEvoy?

Buck had 2 months to prepare Dolegala to learn the offence, there is no excuse for not being better prepared for Zach to leave the game, which he had to do multiple times this past season.

You'd receive a speeding ticket in the mail a month later from those bastages in Moose Jaw for driving past their city limits at 80 kmh instead of 60 kmh. 4 years later, still haven't paid it! **** you Moose Jaw, **** you!!!

Love Kyrie, because of injuries he's never received the accolades he's deserved, probably on the down slope now but happy to see him back if he's willing to share his position with a younger WIL and help out whenever he can. Same sentiment for BA, neither were ever big salary guys.
