The Bombers are developing their backup QB in a refreshingly innovative way. They obviously have a number of "Streveler" packages that include pass/run options primarily centered around intermediate to short gains (less than 20 yards). Last year they consistently inserted him into the game when the stakes were real "the game was obviously still in contention" to play those Streveler packages. It's WAY more consequential playtime than any backup I've ever seen get outside of injury to a starter. Allows him to build confidence in a more natural way while simultaneously providing additional offensive depth to the Bombers attack.

Shayne Gauthier re-ups this morning, as per Twitter....

All joking aside, the Riders faithful are upset at the situation but the blame should solely rest on two men Chris Jones and Reynolds. In 2015 these two men engaged in back room negotiations during the season in order to completely blindside a divisional rival. This stunk so badly the CFL had to create new rules to make sure it didn't happen again. For the first time in CFL history other teams now needed league approved consent to hire a coach away from another team. Rider fans cackled with glee at how they screwed over the Evil Empire. 3 years later the man who tampered with Jones got a heavy dose of karma by trusting him. Gone was the savior because Reynolds was too stupid to get a cutoff date on Jones NFL out clause. Now faced with needing to poach another coach got an even bigger dose of karma when the rule created because of his cheating bit him in the nads. Rider fans are still crying foul...but the rest of the CFL says ..HA HA Karma beyotch! Hows the tampering and acting in poor faith working out 4 you now?

They didn't want Lapo anyway!!!

My favorite tweet of the day: "Hopefully Trump's supporters who wanted a wall will be satisfied with the big, beautiful cave he just delivered"

Debbie Downer.

Dickenson is the best coach on their roster, he is clearly the choice to be head coach out of their options.

What seems to be lost on the Rider fans, and even some Bomber fans, is that Paul Lapo wanted, received, and agreed to an extra year on his contract. No one put a gun to his head. 2 year contracts are now the norm for coordinators. Why? Because they wanted multiple years of GUARANTEED salary in exchange for their signature. Lapo could have gone year to year on his contract if he wanted the freedom to leave whenever a job came up...but he didn't. He took a two year extension because that would guarantee his salary beyond one year. I hardly think it's fair for coaches/GMs to sign multi-year deals for GUARANTEED money and then cry foul when they are actually asked to honor them. We would honor the contractual payment if we had decided to move on from Lapo. If the coaches around the league truly want their freedom to move, it's quite simple, give up the GUARANTEED contract as a sign of good faith.

This! Can someone please post this at RF who doesnt care about getting banned ha ha.

@AJonSports Hearing the REDBLACKS are about to sign DB Chris Randle. Spent the last 5 seasons in Winnipeg. CFL All-Star in 2017. #CFL #RNation

I knew this was Walters fault.

No, wrong. Punter is Bob Cameron. I don't give a **** if Jon Ryan could kick the bloody piss out of the ball or went on to a good NFL career, Bob Cameron is the greatest Bomber punter AINEC. How many punters almost single handledly win a team a Grey Cup?

His supporters must be so tired of winning, just like he told them they would be.

Some people: Clearly, with all the indictments against Trump's inner circle, he must be clean. Otherwise, he would have been indicted too. Congress caves and cuts a deal over re-opening government. Trump is winning! MAGA!

You almost had it.

Craig Dickenson to be announced as Riders new HC this afternoon....

The Bombers PR OL is better than some teams starting OL in the CFL......

I am convinced that "pigseye" is a bot, meant to spam people, giving the selective cherry-picking of facts, willful ignorance of countering facts and information, and blatant one-sided propaganda in simple one sentence blurbs. This reads like the Twitter nonsense from the so called "silent majority". Perhaps the mods should remove this Russian trolling machine lest it corrupt the site with a virus.

That's an interesting take. I'm not sure anybody outside the Sask borders would agree with you.

Jones left town so fast he forgot to turn off the porch light, didn't have the courtesy or the nerve to hold a press conference thanking anyone for the opportunity or support. Weasel was and weasel shall be.

all I gotta say tho...sure glad we are in the situation we are, and have the structure in the front office and down the coaching ranks we have

Last year.

there is more to punting than distance and Bob Cameron was way better at all the other stuff than Ryan when he was here.

No coach should have a job for life unless he's Vince Lombardi or Bud Grant.

I might use JR as a kick off specialist but yeah. I love ryan but you cant match cameron. I think thats fair. Return man could be interesting as well. Cameron was the better punter, bad weather, wind, cold, turf, the old moe's grass junk, didnt matter. Type of coverage in front of him didnt matter either, he just adjusted how he did things. Ryan was different, he produced bursts of yardage at a level you dont see from punters. Cameron would be my punter, ryan would be a situational guy. Punting out of our endzone? send in ryan and pin the other team in their end. Any kind of adversity in the weather or surface or temp, send out cameron. Then use ryan on kick offs.

Here's the newest 10 year hour challenge: THEN NOW

MOS has a job for life, as far as I'm concerned. The winning will come...he's doing all the right things so far. Really hope they lock him up long term.

We can't hang this on Brendan Taman?

According to what Rod Penison said midway through last season their rebuild has been completed and they are a juggernaut team. And you are suggesting they need a rebuild? Why would a juggernaut team like the Riders need a rebuild lol!

I think it's the best choice for what options they had. If there was A DC out there they could have gone that way. Will be interesting to see who fills that role.

FIFY. Edits in italics mine to reflect reality.

Frees up some coaching cap space too probably...

Spiring.

Miller's fault

Pelosi, asked how Trump will handle backdown on reopening government without wall money, gestures toward her office decorations: “we could plant these flowers along the border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall.’ “ — John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) January 25, 2019 Pelosi OWNS Trump. His little hands must be shaking.

Exactly what I was thinking. CNN is big enough to send a few crews out to monitor boots on the street. And, lets just say that someone in the FBI did tip off CNN, what does that have to do with the indictment of Stone? It's just Good'ol Boy Republicans trying change the story. A typical Trump move.

This is all the rage on the right wing tweets. FBI colluding with CNN otherwise they wouldn't have been there, AND an armed assault on an old white man's house, clearly an abuse of power. Mueller must be fired and prosecuted as a deep state operative for such heavy-handed tactics meant to intimidate Trump witnesses. OR Maybe CNN just noticed the late afternoon special courtroom sitting on Thursday, and remembered that the last time this happened was the day indictments were drawn up and presented to the Grand Jury, and the next day Paul Manafort was arrested and charged (CNN actually put this out on their website Thursday afternoon before any news leaked or indictments came out, almost as if they knew what the counter-narrative from Fox and Friends would be, and thus created a paper trail of their investigative journalism to cover their bases and avoid the "fake news" label). So they picked out the most likely suspects for arrest and camped out overnight. Suspect that news crews were stationed at Bannon's, Kushner's, and Don Jr.'s places too.

Who would start over Neuf..Not Bladek or St John...and Labbatte is way overated now and just getting accolades on his play 2-3 years ago..last couple years he has been average/adequate at best...sure he looks good compared to the other crap they trotted out..but that doesn't say much

Mcadoo must furious! He will likely mail it in on offence this year and then bolt as soon as his contract is up like a big FU to sask for not giving him the HC job. The turmoil this year among their coaching ranks is going to be thick.

Not to mention that the Sask qbs never stayed in the pocket either, especially with Bridge. They always had them move out of the pocket cause they knew if they stayed in the pocket it was game over. Yeah it's sort of like a couple years ago when the Esks OL gave up the least sacks because Reilly escaped all the time. It's a nice number, but it really doesn't mean much. Everyone who knows anything about the CFL knows that the Bombers had the best OL in the league the last few years.

So Trump might get his wall (barring legal challenges) and not have to give up anything in return, not a very good deal for the Democrats. This is make or break for Pelosi, probably time from some new blood in there anyways.

Time for another class action lawsuit that promises free monies! http://www.lawnmowersettlement.ca/ People who provide proof of their lawnmower purchase(1994-2012) and its advertised horsepower will be eligible for between $20 and $55. Claims made without such proof will be eligible for $15 apiece. Claim link currently not working so check back later.

Crazy you would take Clark.. st john..and your 2 average tackles over ours

He did so well and went on to have a successful career in comedy. Ffs, someone was going to say it.

Could I get that in writing for my wife? Just asking...

Trump can still deliver the State of Union as he is required to do. He does not need to make a speech, he can deliver a written document. But, that would deny Trump the opportunity to stand up front and repeat his lies and hate speech.

Contrary to the research, of course, you have determined this.

As per gender pay gap it's been proven already that it does not exist. I don't even know why it's even a discussion anymore?
