rebusrankin Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Read the comments from the Rider fans about it not breaking a rule. Don't they teach reading comprehension in the Gap? Al Bundy, Mark F and SPuDS 3
do or die Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Just reading about how Jones is breaking rules.... to protect the integrity of the league. This requires even more gin. Bigblue204, wbbfan, Y2C and 3 others 6
Tracker Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 The situation in Regina is nothing short of hillarious. Jones is totally inept as well as arrogant, and the willfully blind seals there just clap on command and blame everyone else. Sounds like American politics. Fairly recently the Calgary Flames' GM was fired for committing one gaffe after another due to either not knowing the rules or deciding to ignore them. The stubblejumpers should hope this happens to Jones. I feel for the sincere and comitted fans in Regina (both of them) who are witnessing the Glieberization of their beloved team.

Stickem Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 This dough head in Regina is a menace to the CFL....Does the guy have no common sense...Seems to elude him orrrrrr he deliberately is trying to irk everyone in the league...I think the commissioner (one of his best buddies LOL) might have to have a little sit down with this loser and explain the rules of the league...And by the way...is that illegal house this bozo was operating still in operation...Cripes...some kind of harsh message has to be sent to this guy before he's allowed to besmirch the league any further. wbbfan and Al Bundy 2
lyin' guy Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 I remember when Jones first arrived there. There was a photo of him all in black with his coaches around him. He looked liked an old west outlaw and the people at RFs loved it. Posts there referenced his FU attitude and that they were going to be hated; and they loved that thought. Well, this is what you want? This is what you've got. Don't whine when other teams take umbrage with what your inept, arrogant leaders are doing. Jones isn't stupid, he's arrogant. And IMO he's wearing thin on everyone outside of Saskatchewan. Some there too by the sounds of it. Why all the media attention on him? Well, just look to our neighbours to the south for the answer to that. Everyone loves a train wreck. Ego is a powerful drug. SPuDS and Judd 2

Tracker Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Its interesting reading the thread at Riderfans. Initially, the posts were almost totally a mixture of "poor us" and "they're out to get us", but as the thread progressed, the postings have become more and more angry at Jones. Interesting. Fragments of sanity returning there. SPuDS and Mark F 2

coach17 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 So according to 3downnation it looks like the Esks are on the verge of signing Cory Greenwood. It implies that they may be looking to change their Canadian ratio situation (reason for signing Cummings, releasing Steele). I wonder if this might shake JC Sherritt lose. He sure would look good in Blue and Gold.
bearpants Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Ultimately, like in all sports, it'll all about wins and losses... fans are willing to overlook these transgressions in the off-season, when it's all about retooling and optimism for the upcoming season.... but if they start piling up ticks in the L column early on, many will start to change their tune...
Floyd Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Fun to watch the gong show... but I still think Brandon Bridge is a much better QB than people are giving him credit for and the Kevin Glenn is a pretty impressive insurance policy. That being said, next off-season is going to be a mess once they realize that they need to actually pay a QB... and have to cut most of these signings or ask guys to restructure.

Wait until The Vince Young Experience rolls into town. Anger would have to be the sane response to all this unnecessary crap for any rational fan. Not a whole lot different than it was in this forum when Sleepy Joe was at the helm of the Bombers- just a matter of degree.
SPuDS Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 I guess we should thank Jones tho.. hes making it easier for the rest of league to forget how bad Kelly and Mack were as GMs.. lol wbbfan, Mark F, Brandon and 2 others 5

lyin' guy Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Vince Young. They let Darian Durant, a GC winning elite QB with 5 good years at least left in the tank, walk to sign Kevin Glenn and Vince Young. Innovative geniuses is what Murphy and Jones are. We just can't see it. Brendan Taman would have been lynched had he pulled this. Embarrassing. I feel bad for a few of the really good people at RFs. As for the rest, I can't stop laughing. The Saskatchewan Retreads. If you have him, or get rid of him, we want him. We have a network of 100 scouts diligently reviewing every player that every CFL team gets rid of.

Booch Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Wonder if they gonna neg list Romo now he being released...then go and dump Young as Romo more game ready...Would be a typical Jones maneuver and totally par for the course and excellent off season entertainment

johnzo Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Week 1, Game 1: Saskatchewan is in Montreal. CFL schedulemakers FTW. Real interested to see what Durant plays like when he's got a chip on his shoulder. wbbfan 1
