it's for the kids bud.
Snake is more for grown up drunk kids though.

Fear not, I hear the Chris Jones has Matt Leinart on speed dial if Vince Young doesn't work out.

There we have it -- 2nd day of Rookie Camp and we have a comparison between our brand new QB and Dieter Brock......

He just has CFL QB written all over him. Watching the highlight video all the boxes are checked off, accuracy could be an issue but let's hope this guy is for real!

His accuracy today was pretty dam good, especially when you take the wind into consideration. 
Those poor Rifle receivers are likely doing inventory of their fingers after that practice.

I was there today and I completely agree with Taiter. Apodaca will definitely be fun to watch this TC. Strong arm, mobility and shows confidence. Count me as an instant fan.

Maybe it's tongue in sister's cheek?

The Bombers really need to kick the Riders ass sideways in their first game in the new park to set the tone for the season and send their fans off on the crazy train.  Nothing else matters.

You are exceptionally brave.

Irrelevant.  Totally irrelevant.
I can look past the losing record.  I can look past the bad coaching.  I can look past the bad personnel decisions.  I can look past the jet package.  I can look past trying to take every snap from under center.  I can look past the massive ego issues.
What I will not look past or gloss over is the way he threw people under the bus left and right to cover for his incompetence and bad choices.  I will not look past or gloss over the snide and denigrating remarks he made about people who have given more to this league than he ever will.  I will not look past or gloss over the generally awful way he treated people he deemed no longer relevant.
He behaved like a grade A tool from start to finish.  Zero class.  He could have gone 11-7 and it would not have mattered to me.  That's an unacceptable, garbage way to conduct yourself when you're representing no one but yourself.  He was behaving that way while representing my team.  That's a thousand times worse.

Hopefully that's because they're getting serious about digital distribution and will be launching online streaming and archive subscriptions so I can finally cut my cable completely. But I seriously doubt that though.
Seriously CFL, I have money, and I will give you a large chunk of money to legally stream games online in Canada. **** old media.

Whenever I think of the boat and need to calm myself down I like to watch the 2011 Eastern Division Final. I find it really helps me unwind and suppress the anger.
Certainly one of the most memorable games I've attended. Garrett was a killer running back. I can't remember how he tore his achilles... I wish he could have gone on to play a lot longer.

Based on everything I've read, MB is going back to school and only in TC so Medlock won't have to punt as much (save his leg).... I highly doubt he makes the club unless he is so good that they can't send him back... But even then... 

Two very different situations.  On one hand you have the 2013 roster in dire need of quality Canadians.  On the other hand you have the 2017 roster that is already in pretty good shape in terms of Canadians AND we had an additional first round pick that was used to bring in someone who is here now.  In other words, now we have the luxury of taking a flyer on a guy who may never show up.  In 2013 we did not.  Not to mention that in 2013 it was the #2 overall pick being used and in this case it was a late first rounder.

the key is building your roster to the point where you have enough depth that you can take that risk...

Jesus, relax fellas
His post was kinda petty but it's not like he's wrong or a Riders fan. 

It more or less is a cult. Its the only thing we have, the Riders mean everything here. Most of my life it has been a bit of a doomsday cult but a cult nonetheless.  Some people defend Jones because they just want to believe he isn't a idiot leading us off a cliff. Maybe he is and maybe he isn't. The proof will be on the field. Personally, I better see some wins this year or his ass gets fired. No reason to bring him back next year unless he has proven the team is headed in the right direction. Better be at least 8 wins this or bye bye

it really is disturbing how deeply the love for the riders goes over there.. I mean I get it.  but if everyone is holding a blue pen and calling it blue... and Jones said "naw its red.." we would have a legion of rider fans adamantly insisting it was a red pen. 
 
I know I'm known to be an optimistic sort and hold our coaches in high esteem BUT I do realize when its time to start calling a spade a spade.   over there tho, they will continue to strum the banjo as Saskabush burns down around them... so very... cult-like.

A new theory I've just learned about from RF's is that all the picks are actually in fact signed but Jones is just trolling the "chicken littles".
 
Quality entertainment boys, must read.

They think signing young players "who haven't proven anything" is bad business. Should probably inform every league in the world about that. I'm surprised players still want to play there.

I think I'm an early believer in Roc Carmichael. It just SOUNDS like an old-school 1950s CFL name......I'm down with that.
