I'll be in attendance Sunday - look for the guy wearing street hockey shinpads, a purple jersey and a safari hat. ... and some kind of pants, of course.

Maybe it's tongue in sister's cheek?

I don't have any clue why anyone thinks a Kevin Glenn/Vince Young combination is going to be a plus .500 team. I can't even deny it - the rest of their roster looks pretty good. I like a lot of their pieces. Their receivers are ridiculous, they've got a stud DE in Willie Jefferson, I like the looks of their OL for the most part and I think their secondary will surprise people. But they don't have a ****ing quarterback and that's really not something you can discount at all. On top of that, they don't have a stud RB to take any pressure off their mediocre QBs either. They're going to be dead in the water. I see them winning 6 games at most.

Here's how I look at the Geoff Gray situation: him not being here doesn't really matter, because we don't need him right now. If he comes, great. But let's not kid ourselves, he wouldn't likely be starting for us this year. MAYBE next year. Ideally, what I think our best course of action is would be to see the line transition from: Bryant-Bond-Goossen-Chungh-Hardrick to maybe something like (once ready) Bryant-Bond-Goossen-Chungh-Gray and hopefully in time Bond-Spooner-Goossen-Chungh-Gray But truthfully, I think the reality of the situation is that we're going to eventually lose a couple of these guys. Hopefully we can parlay a guy like Couture or Spooner into either a replacement for a guy currently on our roster or into an asset that can help us elsewhere. We're officially at the point where our pipeline is likely a little full with Goossen, Chungh, Spooner, Couture and Gray. They're not all going to play for us. My hopes for our OL this year is that they think enough of Couture that we can say see ya later to Neufeld.

As someone playing in PlayOn, it's pretty easy to find parking close to the stadium. Whatever the parking lot is that is across Bison Drive from IGF always has parking on PlayOn weekend. It's hard to ask goalies to lug their gear much further.

Went back and looked, apparently Raper was on Saskatchewan's PR last year as a DB.

Not that it matters, but for the sake of clarity: it was Darren Cameron who said this, so not exactly the local press.

No, you're confused. That's why they haven't signed their draft picks. They aren't holding a rookie camp because Carm Carteri did a heel turn and retired after taking bonus money because they're trying to reset the market for signing first year players without Justin Dunk doing garbage reporting on it. I think.

There is literally no world where that's how this works. Gray is our draft pick. He is not under contract to us. We all know this and your effort to try and come off as the bringer of facts just comes across as being an outright ****. That may fly at the Extra Point, because there are certain measures in place to make sure that you can't be called out on nonsense like this. It doesn't fly here.

With Burton (for the time being?) out of the running and leading in the race for the Jernigan Award, I am jumping on the TJ Thorpe bandwagon. Santos-Knox, Carmichael and Jeffcoat on D.

I know this is your schtick and everything, but we don't need that here. We know the deal with Gray, guys like bigg jay don't need to be corrected on semantics.

Players who played 7 or less games last year are eligible. Roster comes out this morning.

I'm changing mine since we added some guys. I really like the sounds of this Jovan Santos-Knox fella. And who knows, maybe we add a contender this morning.

I'm just going off memory, but isn't that the offseason the Bombers switched from whoever it was doing their press releases to Rheanne? Maybe that's why. Or maybe just classic miscommunication. Who knows.

I tend to think what happened is that after his phenomenal rookie year, they re-did his deal that offseason to give him a bit more cash right away in exchange for an additional season. Similar to what they did with Mo Leggett which, if I remember correctly, also went unannounced.

I highly doubt the team itself reported it's own signing incorrectly.

Interesting.

I specifically remember Darren Cameron reporting Chungh signed for two years initially. Something must've gone unreported.

... Raper ill take "least likely player to lead the league in jersey sales for $400, Alex"

Riders management. By far worst in the CFL.

Do we get +1 post count in clubs? I only post for the post count.

Offense - Stephen Burton Defense - Jackson Jeffcoat CURSE IS APPLIED

Can't make it, it's Play On weekend.

It's May and the Riders look to be choosing between Kevin Glenn and Vince Young for the role of their starting quarterback this upcoming season. Happy May Long, Bomber Fans!

Look at Jake Harty in Ottawa. 9 catches for 81 yards in two years as a Redblack, and he's 30 months older than Addison Richards. Ottawa isn't giving up on him. For all this talk about Richards being a third year veteran, many people forget that he's still going to be the second youngest receiver coming to our training camp this year. The only one younger is Thera-Plamondon, who isn't even being viewed as much of an option as anything other than a long snapper. He's younger than Tylor Henry, who we just drafted this year. That makes a difference. His developmental path has to be considered.
