Fatty Liver

Picked this info. up off the Rider's site.....sometimes I hate the CFL. Clarence Denmark: - One year deal - Base contract in the 60's - NO signing bonus -If he hits ALL incentives such as being an All Star, 1,000 yard receiver, etc. etc. he'll make close to $80K but no one hits all of those. Even if he did, we'd get a steal at $80K. But he's likely going to make in the 70's somewhere. The good news is Ego Jones is well on his way to establishing a reputation among vets. as a nasty negotiator and the cheapest GM in the league. May he reap his just reward in next years F.A.

According to their roster the TiCats don't have any kickers or punters listed. Can't be right, I thought Hugh O'Neill was still there.

Miller and Walters look the part, O'Shea looks like the nervous guy who gets blown away in act #one.

He's also a good LB, sure hope they can keep him around.

Ego-Jones has a nice ring to it.

Please cut and paste, many of us are not FP subscribers thus can not read the article.

Unless there is a long list of qualified applicants vying for these part-time jobs I think cutting a large chunk of their work-force sends the wrong message to future applicants. Demoting and retraining is a better approach but ultimately I would like to see a pay increase so that the position of official is worthy of a full-time career choice.

I will be waiting with bated breath for the first poster to come forward and praise a ref. on this forum.

JFG did not see the field much in the second half of the season as Moore did not miss as many games as people think. I like hardscrabble Canadian receivers and wish teams could look beyond "measurables" and more at "effectability". Imagine what kind of career Rick House would have if he showed up at TC today. Sad.

I didn't see enough of Richards to have an opinion but I saw enough of Bastien to prefer the work of JFG.

Along with signing Denmark the Riders released 5 today. RIDERS RELEASE 5 The Riders also announced they released the following players: National receiver Alex Carroll National running back Brandon Deschamps National fullback Carl Fitzgerald International defensive lineman Sage Harold International running back Stephen Houston

In the land of Hypotheticalitica.

Glad to see Clarence get another opportunity but don't care for the landing spot. Who would have thunk, Dressler for Denmark would never fly in Riderville.

This is another video of Corney leaping backwards out of the pool, the other 3 guys in the video are no slouches either.

He may not make an NFL team but that doesn't mean he won't spend a year or two hopping around between teams trying to catch on.

Before this thread devolves any further into matching shoes and purses I suggest the Mods. put a swift end to it to save our frickin' dignity. If a Rider poster ever gets hold of it we'll never live it down...

Stoudermire has all the tools a returner needs in either league, he just has to get his brain working at a higher level to match the physical gifts.

I was being facetious, I have a phobia about singing crickets.

The Norwood deal is just for this year so not a great deal imo.

Yer damn good, I can almost believe that scenario.

Sorry, I'm looking for one pickle green so that I can sacrifice it on Labour Day.

One thing to note is that Norwood was going to give F.A. a go at the end of this season as he was only earning $90,000. If Jones can tie him up for a couple of years at a reasonable rate than it may be worth the gamble on his recovery. If Norwood plays this year and goes to F.A. anyway, it doesn't look so good imo.

Norwood was a great player but this signing is a bit odd in the face of recent miss-steps by Jones, no telling when or how well he recovers from his injury and the Riders are paying him non-cap money until he returns. I wonder if Jones gave him a signing bonus.

What colour?
