Booch Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 so technically he is our tenth as this was based on previous play...hahaha Wanna-B-Fanboy 1

But they cut him 😲 so really they only have seven players on the list. Can the Riders even count 7? Carter is #8 on the list as a WR, has he taken any offense snaps in the preseason? I'm pretty sure he's not on the top 50 list if he plays DB all season...
Booch Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 I think his ranking is a bit high regardless of what or where he plays...he is way overhyped for what he provides...and the threats of problems he can...and has caused The Classic 1
17to85 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 TSN has decided that they need some "personalities" among players to sell the league, plus this lets them kiss the asses of Rider fans which they inexplicably seem to think they need to do. TSN has really gone downhill the last decade, just full on over hyping nonsense. WildPath and The Classic 2

Drama sells, so look to the CFL's reigning drama queen, Darian Durant to be on a TSN panel in the near future, followed by Kavis once he gets fired. The Classic 1

Ripper Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 1 minute ago, Colin Unger said: And you're reason for trusting Jones is what now? I actually don't care either way. I spend a lot more time being critical of Jones than I do defending him. In this case it was reported that negotiations broke down with Chick and Dressler's agents, no trade could be made and they were released. Believe what you want, doesn't change anything. If you feel better about Dressler being on your team by believing we didn't offer him a contract, great. We have a awesome receiving core, we haven't missed him. This is old news

I am not his biggest fan. I want to win the cup. I expect him to do that or we will fire him. I don't live with him or have anything to do with him, so me trusting him or not trusting him is not relevant to whether or not he can deliver a cup to Regina. I didn't trust Taman either, but he got the job done so I am grateful to him for that..
Mark F Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) spotted on mbb twitter feed " Quote Fast forward to 2018 and Partipilo is now part of Rider Nation; he’s entering his first CFL season as the Roughriders’ chief brand officer. “My goals and ambitions are to continue to raise the bar for this organization,” says Partipilo, who was born and raised in the Greater Toronto Area. “I believe it’s on a very solid foundation. It has a lot of highly intelligent, capable and passionate people who work here. It has an incredibly strong, solid fan base. All of that bodes well for the solid foundation you want to build for a team that would have national resonance and international respect. “I want to show the world this team.” Edited June 12, 2018 by Mark F

Adrenaline_x Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 i may be in the minority, but i really like the CFL coverage game day experience. Aside from Rod Black i find the commentators great. Sportnet? Meh. No thanks. Jpan85, blue_gold_84, Jimmy Pop and 1 other 2 2

Booch Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 I actually like Sanchez on the panel.. Stickem, Mark F and The Classic 3

Listening to either is like choosing between a kick to the junk or a punch to the junk; both are equally lousy and painful. However, at least Suitor has solid knowledge and insight on the game. Black is just an all-around nuisance who spends more time babbling like an idiot and coming up with some of the dumbest nick names ever.

"Mr. Hall of Fame" "Mr. Milestone" "Mr. YAC" I like nicknames so that is the only thing about Black that I like, although admittedly only about 1 in 10 that he comes up with are any good.
