Rigmaiden has been offered Montreal's GM position. Can't imagine he would turn down that opportunity. RIP our scouting department.

I agree, but he's the most established FA QB in the league, and Lapo must think he can draw someone - one of Strev, Arbuckle, Nichols, Masoli. The point is: I think he thinks he can get Ottawa to 8 wins and make playoffs as opposed to needing 11 in the west and that's why he took the job. That or Ottawa just simply offered more money.

I think Lapo wanted to be in the puss division too. Edmonton has a top 4 qb in the league, why pass that up? I think Lapo thinks he can bring in Masoli and get them to 8 wins and make playoffs as opposed to the slugfest out west.

That was the best way to put it. I think he's always been the most overrated coordinator in the league. Deserves a HC job for sure though, so good for him.

cold blooded

Pierce was very aggressive in his play. I love that sort of smash-mouth style, especially with this roster. I'd imagine his play calling will mimic his play style. I'm excited to see it

I expect Buck to be way more aggressive with virtually the same playbook. I really think he'll do a better job than Lapo. Lapo is his own worst enemy and it'll happen in Ottawa too.

People were reporting here that Mcguire looked better than Strev at this year's TC if I remember correctly.

Is it not possible Pinball just formally asked Walters for permission to speak with Collaros and he granted it? Walters knows the situation. More "good guy" moves in the eyes of his fellow GM's and players for the sake of not burning bridges

Who's do you think is bigger, Chris Streveler or Blake Wheeler?

I never thought Mcadoo was that bad. He got a MOP (lame nomination, obviously) season out of Cody freaking Fajardo.

Is this the end of our can-con on our d-line? Kongbo gone, Thomas aging out/potential retirement, Hansen not good enough to carry the load on his own

Did the league ever change the rule so that the team that drafted him retains his rights? Or is he just a straight FA upon his return to the CFL?

Maas would be a good hire for Sask, imo. Guy is still a top tier OC

Will Hall be back?

TSN reporting Campbell to be named Lions head coach. I think he gets eaten alive in the western conference. He had an abysmal record, but the GC win buys you 9 lives in the CFL. That said, I think he's a better hire than Maas. Maas as an OC with Rielly could tear up the league. Something in the works there?

I thought it was 210 lol

Anyone find it crazy that Calgary only has 8 cups in their history? It feels like they've been dominant for nearly 2 decades

Now he is. He's what, the 7th head coach of the Bombers of all time to win a cup? Undoubtedly yes. Edit: 6th

F***ing rights. Would things be different if Vaj's throw didn't hit the upright? You betcha. Them's the breaks and that's the way it goes. The best team won the championship. Period.

Bump (all in good fun)! Give Walters and O'shea 3 years each babay!

One guy I don't want to lose is Rigmaiden. BC should have never let him go. As soon as he came on board we actually started successfully developing and finding our own internationals (particularly receivers) as opposed to relying so heavily on FA.

Best part is that place is now a strip joint!

I find Saskatchewan's media are lap dogs for the Riders. Their game day radio, news coverage etc is all just bad. Even the media lobs softball questions in interviews there. I understand the benefits of staying extra positive, but they're really homers and wear green goggles. Teams get much more criticized here and other bigger markets. I haven't been on top of it since Derek Taylor took over there, but actually he is just what they need.
