The backup qb is always the most popular thing on a football team.

I don't disagree with you. I probably said it in the heat of the moment. All I can say is that he had to change the culture that Dickenson created & getting rid of a lot of deadwood that team had. It was terribly coached & was a totally undisciplined team. I think they led the CFL in penalties under Dickenson. That lack of discipline cost them games. I hate the Riders with all that I have as a fan. Seeing them lose is always a pleasure. I just think Mace had to do what he had to do when he arrived. His head coaching talents are much, much better than I thought they would be. He exceeded any expectations I had of him. Especially when you consider what kind of joke the Riders were when he got there. As a new Head Coach, he figured things out fast & got it.

No, that's not Peter Young. This is a summary of Peter Young's career & accomplishments from his induction into the Northern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in Thunder Bay a few years ago. He was born & raised there. he considered Winnipeg his second home.

No, Peter was a CTV guy through & through. After he left CKY he formed his own production company & freelanced. He also left broadcasting & was GM of a number of pro baseball teams in Florida, Arizona & here in Calgary.

We've invested 3 years into Wilson's development & he has shown some promise. I'd hate to throw that all away too soon.

Is Wilson toast? he hasn't been released. I think that he may develop into a starter if he gets the coaching. Tommy Condell will help.

Peter Young passed away this afternoon after a long & courageous battle with cancer. Rest In Peace. .

Withn Tim White, Nic Demski, Tommy Nield & Ontaria Wilson having Lawler now would have been the icing on the cake. Not only would we have spread the ball around but we also would have had the best deep ball receiver in the CFL. That's the missing piece on offense right now.

Uhh, no. Sorry. I post a lot here. So, unless you can give me better context than that I have no idea what you're talking about. To me, Dunk is a Ti Cat fan. As a fan that's who he wants them to sign more than anthing. Remember when Dunk used to call the Ti Cats the CFL's "Super Team" & then we'd hand their asses back to them in the 2019 & 21 Grey Cups?

So have I. At numerous stags in various stages of drunkeness half a century ago.... It was so long ago we had to use a projector. It seemed funnier when it was played backwards.

Have you even seen that movie?

Do you remember just how bad & undisciplined the Riders were under Craig Dickenson? He stood up for Garrett Marino who was a thug on the field & run out of the league. Duke Williams spit on an Argo & while injured off the Rider roster that same season took a swing at a Blue Bomber who ran out of bounds at the Rider bench right beside Dickenson. I don't recall much of a controversy at Mace's media conference when he was hired as Rider HC. Or if he even said that. Players should have to make the team on merit. Not entitlement. We've seen that going on here for 12 years. We lost our fair share of players over the past 3 off seasons leading up to this one. The flip side is if you keep playing OTH veterans like Thomas & Kolankowski it creates a log jam & younger players who deserve it can't get on the field. They end up leaving at the end of their contract anyway. The older players keep signing because they want to keep playing & know that anywhere else they'd be cut. So, they re-sign these loyalty "cap friendly" deals. I don't get your criticism of Mace. He's just doing his job.

I saw a report early this morning that he was getting ready to sign with the Tiger Cats. Haven't read anything since. mauldin wasted his best years in a shitty organization with the RedBlacks. he should have bailed while he had the chance at his peak. Chose no to. Now, his career is roadkill.

Hope there's a couple more good news surprises.

Just curious, but Mace has only been a HC for 2 seasons. When did he throw players under the bus or develop a reputation for doing that? I don't recall any examples of players sbeing called out. I'm no Rider or Corey Mace fan but I can say that he developed the Riders into what the Bombers were 2019-22 with FIFO. Players love playing for him. The problem with being GC Champions is everybody wants to get paid. NOW. And they can't pay everyone. Plus for most players, money is the only true loyalty they'll ever understand. hence the endless one year contracts. They want to get paid. It has very little to do with loyalty.
