    Streveler - #1

    Trade Ekakitie and our 1st for Bridge - #2

    Ross - #3

    In that order...

    The ONLY upside is that Durant now realizes that he would have been a Day 1 starter...

    Jones won't help us. We need Adams. But the Ti Cats will make us pay.

    If you are looking here for objectivity when it comes to the Riders, you are going to be disappointed. If the Riders win the Grey Cup 10 years in a row, most of us will still believe they suck and mock them for every small misstep along the way.

    It is known.

    On 1290 radio today, Ross stated that, upon reviewing the game film, he felt that he wasn't that far off a good performance. Just has to tweak a couple of things- we shall see.

    I don't like Ross's explanation. Not far off of a good game? He was 1 for 8. That's far from being close to a good performance. He better show he belongs.

    Canadas friendly marxists and election meddlers Leadnow found a willing partner. 

    Whenever I see something like this just days before an election red flags go up. I don't like Doug Ford but this just reeks of a hatchet job. I think a lot of voters will as well.

    Yup they apologized.   Also some of their commentators have stated that the whole "Spygate" thing is a crock.  Perhaps Fox is turning a corner......

    Sure. And the sky is purple.

    The only reason they would have been in an area where they could not be tracked is because they were flown off-course.  Their flight path would have kept them in constant contact.  And ofcourse, they were tracked for quite some time, turning off their flight path. That's the root of the mystery.  Why did they fly in the opposite direction?

    Anything can be found if enough time, effort, technology and money is dedicated to finding it.  The plane is in the ocean.  The ocean is vast.  But they can find it.

    Look at Air France 447.  The ACARS was working (unlike MH) so they had a good idea of its last position. They found floating debris within a day.  And it still took over a year to find the plane on the bottom of the ocean.

    One aspect that points to deliberate action is, if you wanted to make it as hard as possible to ever find, you'd crash the plane where MH is believed to have crashed.  Its basically the hardest place to find something.

    Hopefully they keep looking. 

    Doesn't look like a fairy tale ending here... Time will tell.

    I'm having flashbacks of the dark years where Burke would say "Everything looked good and we are almost there just need to make minor tweaks".....

    Back in the mid 70's, Blue Bombers Head Coach Bud Riley used to infuriate Bomber fans in interviews by saying we played well but had a "few mental errors" that cost us the game. Riley said that all the time. I'm sure Bob Irving would remember that if asked. So much so that whenever Dieter Brock threw a pick, Jay Washington fumbled or Harry Walters whiffed on a tackle the fans in the stands at Winnipeg Stadium would start yelling, "Mental errors, Bud?" What Alex Ross said reminds me of that. It was like he was saying that he did okay but made a few mental errors. Eliminate the mental errors, Alex. This is your last shot.

    For whatever reason I'm following CPL news waaaaay more than I thought I would....

    - 2 weeks ago @stevensandor on twitter penned an article saying CPL required stadiums in which the CPL was the primary tenant.  Since I've heard nothing to confirm, and neither he nor Freep people answer tweets, I have to think this was either a mistake OR more likely because of the shared ownership and/or CPL # of games in a season the soccer team would be IGF's "primary tenant".

    - the name?!  Cavalry FC is a rumored potential WPG name.  It'll be someone's name, as the trademark is done.   CPL Trademarks

    FC Barcelona isn't just one of the world's most successful footy teams; they have basketball, roller hockey, ice hockey!, volleyball and beach soccer teams under the same ownership.

    Flames own the Calgary Roughnecks (NALL), the Hitmen & the Stampeders.

  9. To get back to discussing the missing Malaysian Airliner. I have an app on my phone called Flight Radar 24.It tracks each flight in the world in real time. In November of 2016 my son had travelled to New Zealand. I texted him before he left with his flight info on his flight back from Auckland to Vancouver. When his flight took off I was able to track it. About 3 hours later his flight just disappeared from the app on my screen. I was a little concerned but after an hour his flight reappeared only to disappear a half an hour later. Eventually the flight reappeared again but by that time I had gone to bed. Next morning I checked again & his flight was approaching North America. My point here is that the Pacific Ocean is so vast. There are areas where planes literally disappear for great lengths of time as there are no islands or no continents even close. It is so isolated that even with GPS technology the planes still disappear. To me, this is what happened. They were lost in an isolated part of the world over nothing but thousands of square klms of water with no land anywhere. Plus, if they veered off course & crashed, no amount of modern technology will find them if the aircraft went down in 35,000 feet of water which may have happened. If we can't find people lost in the bush on land in Canada how can we expect technology to find a lost plane over the Pacific or Indian Ocean?

    You may be confusing "worrying" with feeling nauseous and depressed. Easy to do.

    We had Justin Goltz who should have been a receiver as he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 20 feet away but he had nice cuff links. We had Brian Brohm who should have been a ball boy. Then there was Robert Marve who needed two new knees. And finally there was Drew Willy who needed a shrink. All thanks to the pylons we referred to as  offensive linemen.

    As per 3downnation, a certain Regina sports writer is "reporting" that CFL teams are inquiring into the Riders' spare quarterbacks. In related news, a strong aroma of bovine excrement was noted in southern Saskatchewan today.

    All those Rider qbs could start not only in the CFL but the NFL as well & be Pro Bowl players. Best damned 4 qbs in the history of the CFL. What awesomeness according to Pederson.

    If they wanted an extra arm I think they could have grabbed an aged out NI, or a few try out guys. plus 5 arms is a lot. I think it was a reaction to the level of play mahoney brought. He was well behind at the hop. 

    I hope soo too. Though I kind of feel like he might be a guy who should have taken a college position change. Im a big fan of mobile qbs as your back up. 

    Some truth to that. With rookies / developmental guys for sure. Its not just consistency coaching though, its a chance to get their feet wet. When a game is a blow out in the 4th qt one way or another you need to use that chance to get a guy in. We havent done a good job of that in the mos era. And not just at QB. 

    Great teams develop talent. Good and worse teams have talent slip between their fingers or waste it. We were a bad team, and became a good team. Now we need to take the step up to becoming a great team. 

     

    No sense worrying about Elliott who was here five years ago. That ship has sailed.

    And a favourite of mine:

     

    Yeah, remember May of 80. It was a hot one. One month I'll never forget. I developed appendicitis early that month at work & had to have an appendectomy. I was off work for 3 weeks that month enjoying the sun & warm temps in my backyard with pay... on a medical leave because of it.  I had a nice little holiday.
