  1. There will be no trade for Burris, it's just Madani stirring the pot & being a mouthpiece for Desjardins. And like I stated for the past 2 weeks....

    @robvanstone: The word from Durant and the Roughriders' medical people is that there's an excellent chance of #4 returning at some point in 2014.

    It's funny that you accuse Madani of being a franchises media mouthpiece and then quote Rob Vanstone of all people as your source for Durants health.
    Vanstone provided his source, Durant & the team.

    Didn't you just say Madani is a "mouthpiece" for Desjardins, implying that was his source???
    Vanstone stated who is source was, the team itself.

    No bias there.

    Who would you rather have as a source for Durant's health?
  3. Madani was Bombers Communications/PR guy during Taman run there....super tight. Text regularly...not that it means anything, but just sayin'...

    Why would Taman leak info about the offer for a player that was supposedly rejected knowing that a large portion of the fanbase can't stand the player in question? Sorry not buying it, Taman has nothing to gain by that.

  4. The 1st round offer for Burris was a tweet from Madani with no credible source.

    Vanstone also saying they were after Burris.

    Yup they had exploratory talks, just like they likely had with other teams about other QBs.

    They made an offer. You can rag on Madani all you want, but anyone who knows the history he has with Taman knows that he's likely getting this info straight from the front office.

    Offer =/= exploratory talks.

    You can call it what you want but it's already been pointed out to you that actions speak louder than words. They made an offer for Burris where they would have given up a first round pick and then some. That's a pretty loud action.

    Do you honestly think Taman is dumb enough to leak info about an offer for a player that is despised by the fanbase? Cmon Mike you're smarter than that. Remember, Madani is also close with Desjardins, remember the Dressler $250K offer scoop?

    Nevertheless Burris isn't coming & the Riders would not say Durants prognosis is good for a return if it wasn't.

  5. So let me get this straight...the day after Taman's trade offer is rejected by the RBs Durant suddenly has an excellent chance of returning. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Riders are desperately trying to not give the impression that they are desperate. No one offers a 1st round pick and a roster player for a 40 year old QB rental unless their QB is out for the season. Don't really care what Chamblin, Durant, or Taman SAY right now. Actions speak louder than words and the ACTIONS say that Durant is toast for this year. I found it especially comical that the timeline for "Durant's return to throwing" is the week FOLLOWING the trade deadline.

    Tin foil hat much?

  6. Credible sources - Durant and Taman.

    Now, let's ask Buck if he's ready to return before the season ends.

    I guess Taman offered a first rounder for Burris just so he could fill in for three games. Oh Brendan, you so crrrazy!

    Durant had his follow up appointment with surgeon this morning.

    Doug Flutie returned after 7 weeks in '95 with the exact same injury.

  9. Blame Cortez. The 'ol stand by when you're too proud to criticize Chamblin or Taman.

    He obviously should have called the plays that the Esks couldn't stop! what a moran.

    Cortez has been terrible lately. I would not be disappointed if he lost his job.

    I wouldht say he's been terrible, justs awefully stubborn. He will come around & realize he can't run the regular offence with 2 newbies.

  10. hope springs eternal for the homer.

    BC put up a whopping 7 pts on the Stamps. Cgy lost to Mtl. Any team can beat anyone on any given day. Riders have a good team, sorry but that is a fact.

    Let me guess, you wrote off the Riders last year during their 4 game losing streak?

    Was Durant hurt during that stretch last season? If not, I don't see the comparison.

    Going by the majority of the comments on here before Durant got hurt, he isn't all that valuable. Funny how that works hey?

  11. Is there anything more bizarre than the abandoning of a Riders' fan hate level for Burris as the gold standard of a being a Rider fan in favour of trading for him becasue sticking with backups means you're not serious about salvaging the season and therefore not a real fan ?

    It's truly surreal what's going on over there.

    Burris is not coming to Riders. The only people suggesting this are a couple imbecile journalists & a few drunk fans.
    But the fact fans are royally flip flopping on such a central and traditional concept of hating Burris and actually entertaining the idea of him returning.
    What do you expect from a bunch of bandwagon jumpers? The whole hate for Burris is stupid anyway, it's long past time they got over it. It was like 10 years ago he went to Calgary.
    Bandwagon jumpers? Riders attendance has stayed pretty consistent since Mosaic was expanded. What was attendance at IGF last night?

    Better than what six out of nine teams draw every game. So what was the attendance when the Riders had a shitty team in the Al Ford era??? Ten thousand??
    What does the Al Ford era way back when have to do with the current generation of Riders fans?

    Unless all fans share the same opinions all the time then your theory makes no sense. Some fans like Burris, some don't.

  15. Drew Willy

    Sorry boys not good enough. It took nearly TWO full games to get one stinking TD. And yes, Drew missed the second half against B.C., cause we would have won that game if he stayed healthy wouldn't we - as Willy and the juggernaut offense under Willy in that first half put up THREE points. First half tonight -THREE points. That's not good enough. Period. I like Willy, he's a keeper, but enough of Grigsby, our run defense, and special teams.

    Willy got all the glory on the 5 -1 start, he deserves the horns for being 1 - 6 since.

    QB is the least of your worries! Riders would take him back right now in a New York second.
