1) Huff wasn't going to trade him in-division

2) Tate was due a $40k bonus early march that they didn't want to pay

3) Tate's overall salary became cost prohibitive based on what he was providing...

I see the good folks at Riderfans are firing their artillery at a couple of members here.  

I wonder if they are wearing pink shirts while they attack? 

Part of me wants to just adopt the same approach they do over there. They always throw out the "if we acted like this on your forum, we would've been gone long ago" nonsense. Then I look at how we still allow folks like Kluch to continue posting and think ... boy, are they really that unaware?

As much as I like Gov and I can't even blame him for "allowing it", what was formerly a pretty good place to talk about football has fallen by the wayside and become overrun by idiots like Rotor and his little puppet RAJ. So many characters on that forum, it's essentially become a cesspool of inbred children's toys with only four programmable phrases that can be spit out at a time: "#1990!", "Mulberry bush", "Keep 'em comin, Jonesy!" and "hey, hands off my sister, she's mine!"

As I've  said before the majority are good folks.  I understand their angst due to their lousy record for 2.5 years and the fact their saviour might turn out to be a fraud.  They are passionate and we need that in our league. The ones that get it are solid. The ones that don't contstantly have to show you how big their **** and swing it at you because you support a different team are the ones worth sharing a beer with.

However there are a handful there that are extremely disappointing. People I thought I had developed a rapport with turned out to be just as described above. Then there are those that just so Rider intense it's ridiculous. You know who they are. You named one.

But Popp was also undermined by the owner, right? I'm forgetting the timeline but it seems like everything truly fell apart AFTER he named himself HC.

Well, everything started falling apart when Calvillo retired...

 Nah, he hadn't had a good season as GM in years.

I am probably the biggest Ricky Ray fan on this board....unabashed fanboi.......but that poor bastard is beat to ****. I don't think his shoulder or knees can be salvaged, even by a proven genius like Trestman.

Ray has missed 24 of 36 games over the past two seasons.

I understand that but if he gets rid of the ball quicker it lessens his chance of injury. Ray has a quick release like Calvillo. It'll help Willy as well if Trestman would even want him.

The injury ravaged Ray or the PTSD stricken Willy. What a choice.

Call me crazy, but I am almost to the point of thinking that Reinbold deserves another shot at a head coaching position. We'll see how he does as D Coordinator, but I do think he's come a long ways since his time here.

Ray's always had the quick release. Even with it, he missed 9 games in 2016, 15 games in 2015, 1 in 2014, 8 in 2013 and 4 in 2012. That's 37 games in 5 years or basically half the season each year.

RF is a pretty insuperable place to be. A lot of bandwagon fans from the mid 2000's. You'd think since they've been a terrible football club in the past 2.5 years they would gain some sort of humility.. But nope Jones is still a genuis, and every other CFL team is overrated.

Is there a cole's notes version of what's happening, or  specific thread to read?

I just went over and searched Atomic but unfortunately left disappointed as no one was talking about me
