Why Durant's name is even being mentioned after he ran down the team, the organization and the fans is absolutely beyond me. That bridge was burned, blown up and shot into the atmosphere.

Could be a meniscus injury - a tear severe enough that it requires surgery. At this point, we're not going to know anything more than it's a knee injury but all things considered .. we dodged a bit of a bullet.

A little 'after the fact' as it looks like Adams is going to Montreal but I'm glad the club isn't rushing to make any immediate moves.

Consolidated the WPG @ BC threads.

I'll be genuinely disappointed if they go out and trade for a QB at this point. Roll with the guys we have.

According to John Hodge and his source, the injury is "bad". So chances are Nichols starts against Edmonton. 😁 (I don't think much of Hodge and his insights)

Hell, Carson Wentz played a few extra snaps after tearing his ACL.

Alright. Someone get me a helmet. 😉

Riders add yet another NFL castoff RB. http://3downnation.com/2018/06/06/riders-sign-former-ticats-nfl-rb-storm-johnson/

Riders seem to be collecting a fair number of castoff NFL RBs.

The one thing I'm hoping is that some of these receivers / DBs / LBs actually get a fair shake to show what they have and really hope this team isn't married to any particular player because they are a vet (or a free agent signing).

To be clear, this is Bauming's take on the depth chart. Passing it along for those interested.

Flanders isn't dressing for this game (along with LaFrance, Wild, Hardrick, Leggett, Alexander, Gaitor, and notable rookies; DT Brandin Bryant, DBs Marcus Sayles, RECs Tyrone Pierre)

I've just turfed a few posts that don't belong in this thread. I'm not going to bother moving them. If you wish to discuss the specific points, feel free to re-raise the topic in the Wrestling thread. And as a general comment, some folks here need to step back and breath .. meditate .. switch to decaf .. maybe add a little bran to the ole diet .. there are things in life worth giving a **** about and winning a pissing contest on a message board isn't one of them. Any issues here, feel free to PM me.

Apparently Thigpen failed a drug test and will miss the first two games for the Riders this season.

She's no Natasha Staniszewski

Seems to work for Hockey .. why not Football? 😁

This makes me happy.

Say what you will about Mike O'Shea but no one can ever overstate how valuable he has been in turning around the perception and culture of this franchise.

Guys, I'd ask all in this thread to keep the discussion on the issue / topic and not each other. I hate having to prune threads.

I hate seeing players get injured in preseason but I can't say I'm too terribly upset with the Riders NI talent pool taking a hit.

I've got a question: of players who have gone to the NFL but are subsequently cut by that team, how many initially sign with a team other than their original CFL squad? The only one that comes to mind right away is Henoc. I know it's anecdotal but it *feels* like the norm is for players to return to their CFL club.
