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.

The post I responded to was a bit unclear. Activated as in past tense as though was he asking if he had played last game which he did not, or has he been activated already this week even though it hasn't been mentioned so I wondered if he had heard something. Or was he asking if I thought he would be activated this week? Bottom line is it would be easier if you Manitoba boys would use English as your first language

What don't you understand about "did the Riders activated" ?

Riders currently have 15 players on their PR according to CFL.ca.

Some are territorial players.

I know what you're doing.. you're just ignoring the bold fonts. Nice try.

Zver was never on the PR, he declined it.  Little different from poaching someone off the PR as BC never had the chance to activate him.

It would be nice to know more about this time period between getting cut and getting placed on a PR as it seems nebulous.  What is the time-frame and are players allowed to speak with other teams during that time?  As Zver is from Regina, I would think he knew he would be picked up when he turned down the Lions PR spot. 

As for the Riders placing him on their roster, I think it's dumb for them to fill a spot with a development player when they obviously need contributing players right now.  There is no tomorrow in Jonesland.

With the CBA scrapping the old waiver system, the moment your "released" teams can talk to you,  no more waiting period. I believe it was agreed upon so players could find new employment sooner than rather.

That said, Zver is from regina,  very good chance the riders were talking to at least someone close to him as a middle man to get in his ear

Good point. I count 4, which means they have 11. Is the rule not 10?

with their recent transactions they only have 45 on their active roster. so 1 will be activated and 1 will go to the ir.

What's not to understand...? Chad Owens wears #2.

Again, I'm not sure what's so difficult for you to comprehend. Did the Riders activate Chad Owens, who wears #2, for week 3?

Pretty alarming when basic math and basic language skills are non-functional.

I really liked both Tull and Pettway.  I think someone will have a look at Tull

And who are you to question the great and mighty wizard of oddness?

I get that nothing makes sense coming out of saskatchewan of late but seeing as they are 0-2 now and still looking lost, why would we consider picking up someone they cut?  I have a hard time believing he was a victim of circumstance or of Jones gonna Jones..

Newsome cut in Sask...  he's the real deal - would be nice to see him here but I bet he ends up in Calgary

Good athlete but has trouble getting after the QB consistently.  At least in CJ's system.

Apparently the loss is just a mere footnote. BS Man. The Bombers winning is the point. Forever the answer to the trivia question, who was the first team to win at the new Mosaic will be the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Any revisiting of the opening will have to mention that we won. History, baby.

Interesting.  Everywhere else it was a headline.

Footnote - headline, potato - potahto...

 

Y'know, if I didn't know better, I might suggest Nye isn't entirely objective.
