Well, there you go.  It seemed to me that it’s been perceived as being stale and the interest level was tapering off. It takes all week to gather, edit and format that topic and I thought I’d giv

Often...? Yeah, one of the league's top offensive units that's gone cold in recent weeks due to injury vs. a defensive unit that's been one of the worst in the league in several categories for the las

I think this is just good babysitting.  You run him hard, tire him out, he makes no trouble and falls right asleep at bedtime.

I see no one has mentioned it was Dickensen that closed practices first, doesn't fit the narrative I guess

Well, who cares about closed practices, much less who did it first...? At least Dickenson doesn't whine about other teams spying on his practices.

I was waiting for the resident green whiner to show up to defend and deflect from his precious coach.

Funny thing about the whole thing...that's totally something that I could see Jones have someone in his organization do, go out and do some spying, and if anything is an admission of guilt as he thinks someone else is doing it to them so now he is paranoid haha

Try to keep up Ripper.  The issue isn't closing a practice, it's Jones crying about spies rather than focusing on the play of his team.  FWIW, the Bombers have also closed a practice this season as well.  Biggest diffence between the 3 cases is that one HC is pulling claims out of his ass & the other 2 are just going about their business.

You read that wrong.

Nobody cares if a H. Coach closes a practice. It seems it's being done more and more.

Its usually not even paid attention to..unless the H Coach makes an issue of it. 

Now, let's see, who's made an issue of it this year? ??? Hmm

I haven't spent much time defending Jones and I'm not now either.  It would appear Calgary is sensitive about their practices leading up to a game with us.  I think all practices should be closed all the time except maybe one day a week for fans.

Actually, what's sensitive is telling a coach to win with class... And then a season later whining to the media about an opponent spying on your team's practice.

And also taking a shot at Toronto fans by saying the Riders have more fans attending their practices. 

One thing to note is that if someone attends Rider practice you have to show ID. Talk about being paranoid.

I for one, hope the Riders beat Calgary.

The way some, maybe a lot of fans hate the Riders, I feel that way about the Stamps. I would love to see Calgary  lose this game. Sask has the no 1 offence to this point. not impossible.

Best game last year was Grey Cup. watching the Stampeders  eat a bit of humble pie. Very puzzling for them.

So far this season the great Bo levi  hasn't look so hot.

are you sure? their website says "Practice is open to the public. Fans can enter via elevator lobby 2 on the northwest side of the stadium."

doesn't say anything about ID.

Are they checking for spies? if so......:lol:

Yup, you have to sign in and show photo ID. The policy officially started last year after the Riders got busted for having their pre-practice team.

You don't often see the mayors of Regina and Saskatoon together in their Sunday best!

I thought that was Brandon and Winnipeg's mayors

Closing practice is no big deal, it's perfectly within the rules to do it, every teams does....

The Stamps are due for a breakout game. They do not look as intimidating as last year, but most of the pieces are still there and they still have Bo Levi and Huffer. I'm thinking that the Riders are going to mutilated. Plus folded and spindled.

This made about much sense as when you made this statement:
