What a cluster**** Trump's Presidency is. To say it's been a clown show wouldn't be doing it justice. Meanwhile Trump's base like the job he's doing.

Is it gone? I hope so. Sad, but why keep a website open with no traffic & two guys talking to themselves. Some of you here don't like Colin but this site wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the work he put in at OB. I respect the guy a lot for what he did.

I wonder how many noise complaints the police will get that night?

Glenn should retire.

Glenn is serviceable. If he is surrounded by talent he can carry them. However, he can't go out & win games solely on his own. Big question mark for the Riders is the offensive line. Dennis is a huge improvement but it's not enough. I'm not even factoring Vince Young into the equation as I'm certain that if he starts, he'll be a bust.

The two 55 yard lines. Must be the same guy who painted the Chefs in the end zone.

I agree with this. Huff runs the show in Calgary & he has absolute final say. Being professional in your job is his #1 concern. He wouldn't put up with the goings on the Riders have had the past year & a half since Jones took over. Jones seems to be the kind of guy where being professional in your job is like 8, 9 or 10 in rating what's important. The Rider brand has suffered with holdouts, fines, illegal recruiting, illegally keeping guys on a second secret practice roster, etc. Second year now that the Riders are having trouble signing their draft picks to go along with the circus Murphy has been very involved with. Murphy like Jones tried to get away with being unprofessional & according to Reynolds are now on short leashes if they screw up again. I'd say having every Rider draft pick hold out is another screw up. We'll see what, if anything the Riders President does.

Booker T mumbles. Sometimes it's hard to understand what he says. He's terrible as an analyst. Jerry Lawler should be on the Raw broadcast.

Breeze is from Kelowna, isn't he?

When do Canadian teams ever have a great chance? Twenty four years & counting.

They have to go back to a 2 hour format.

How do you deliver a service differently when a criminal waves a gun? When a house is on fire? Please enlighten me. Like I said, until you need them, cops, firefighters & paramedics are overpaid.

Funny, blueandgoldguy (who happens to thinks cops & firefighters are overpaid) would be the first one running away from the Manchester Arena in terror. While the first responders of police, firefighters & paramedics would be running inside or towards the danger area putting their lives in danger to save him & others like him. The critics like him never talk about that.

The logic of Jones & Murphy is mind boggling. Overpay with CFL free agents & then cheap out on draft picks trying to force them to sign for less than if they were drafted by other CFL teams. Don't know why anyone would want to play for the Riders with those 2 running the show yet there are suck... errr... players who will. Reynolds wanted things to be different this year with Jones but they won't be.

Obviously Scheifle & the other players do.

Anyways fellas, nice discussion. Talk later.

Go talk to Mike about it. He said it, I didn't.

Andrew Harris is a skilled player & he's on special teams. Right from day 1 of his career.

Mike made the comment that Hardy's 30 months older than Richards & that it is relevant. I was responding to his comments. Did you not read the previous posts here? What's the obsession with specials? How many Canadians in total are on a CFL roster? How many Canadians are mandated to start? Just exactly what do these Canadian players do to get on the field? You tell me.

Why personally label someone because you don't agree with them? I'm not disgruntled. If you read previous posts on this thread. I said Richards needs to step up & show improvement. I also said I hope he does show improvement. I do feel that this will be the training camp where he has to show he can play at the CFL level. I truly feel strongly that every player on a CFL roster has to contribute because of roster limitations & size. That's my opinion & I'm sticking with it. The coaching staff decides if & when it's over for Richards. Not us. We can argue all day long. Ultimately Mike O'Shea & Paul LaPolice make the final say on Richards future. This has been a good discussion but I've said about all I can say here on this topic. I'm finished posting about it.

He's a veteran as he received a paycheque all the while. He just hasn't played much. This is his second year in LaPo's system so he knows it. Rookies get cut at training camp all the time if they can't practice or play in exhibition games. If a rook injures things like a knee, shoulder or pulls a hamstring & missed significant practice time it's curtains. The Grim Reaper comes around, says coach wants to see you & bring your playbook. All kinds of sad & hard luck stories at CFL & NFL training camps.

Hardy has been able to contribute right from the start so you can't compare Richards to him in any way. Hardy is in the receiver rotation as a slot & he also plays special teams. Hardy also played 2 or 3 years of junior ball with the Calgary Colts before going to the Dinos which is why he's older.

What's the difference? Injuries significantly affected those guys too yet fans were calling for their heads so I don't understand the difference.

I'm willing as well if there is an actual progression in his career this season. Not if he doesn't get on the field.

Yet it is done everyday. Veterans get released because of injury issues. Players at TC get released because they were injured & couldn't perform. All I'm saying is that if he doesn't show enough this training camp then it is time to move on. It's not unreasonable to say he needs to contribute. Put him on specials & let him earn his way to a starting or backup receiver position like everyone else.
