It was actually Mike Reilly and not BLM that tweeted, "Wow, this makes me think Rod Pedersen might not know anything about football."
Rod predicted the Riders would win the West, Stamps in 2nd, Lions in 3rd and the Esks and Bombers were a toss up for last place.

That statement is absurd. Saskatchewan is being investigated because of evidence, you want ALL teams investigated because YOUR team got caught AGAIN?
I'll review Saskatchewan and their use of numbers.
Several years ago over the salary cap and sanctioned.
Recently sanctioned for misuse of ratio.
Evidence of more players than 46 on roster.
Evidence of more players than 10 on practice squad.
Smoke billowing that there maybe 10 more players participating in club activities.
and of course the sign said "let the 13th man be your worstest nightmare". And blowing a Grey Cup, by an inability to count.
AND 10 Grey Cups wins is more than 4.
collectively your group must be the biggest bunch of drop outs in the league. I get it. You'll say the whole league is bad at the gozintas.
They have also changed their 46 man roster twice this year after submitting it. They would had permission from the league / other team to do so. League has helped them out and this is the thanks they get. Lol
They had to replace a total of 3 injured players but wouldn't they have known they were injured before they submitted their roster. I mean teams normally just have a walk through the day before the game, unless Jones puts them through a 5 hour practice or something.
They also got fined a few years ago for having veteran players participate at 2 mini camps instead of just the one that's allowed.
I also seem to recall they got fined for having a player take part in practice before he was signed with the team. That was about 3 or 4 years ago but I couldn't find the details with a quick google search, just going by memory.

I feel that Sask is about a week or so away from a gem like this:
Jones just has to call out a few fans then he'll have gone full Mike Kelly.

I'm sure most teams keep 4 or 5 guys around town but if the number 96 is true then sweet baby Jesus that's troubling.
8 other teams x 5 guys kept around = 40.
Riders apparently have 96. That's pretty ridiculous
If true... take draft picks away. Fine them a million bucks and do more cuz fact is.... this is very troubling. The integrity of the league is at stake here.
Only time I could see the Bombers keeping a few players around is at the beginning of training camp. When players are cut or injured the team can quickly replace them and maintain the maximum roster limit. These extra players aren't practicing with the team however.
Just have a look at the Bombers' transactions during the regular season for the last hand full of years. Very few players are brought in once the season starts. Most of them are in Sept when the practice roster increases.

Before we get all up in arms, just keep in mind we do this too.
The Bombers have kept injured players like Cole around while they healed up. But, there's no proof they were getting paid by the team.
Cole also didn't practice with the team while he wasn't on the roster. I wonder if Sears practiced in Regina when he wasn't on the team. I remember the Riders got fined a few years ago when they had a guy practicing with the team before they officially signed him.

I think the Riders believe its still training camp;

The only tweet I saw about this magical $100k bonus was from..... wait for for it....
GBill...
Unless you saw it from a reputable source, I'm choosing not to believe it...
GBill got his info from a post I made on the other forum. I got the intel from a media member in town.
Yesterday Gary Lawless confirmed the bonus on twitter;

Bombers next opponent;

Riders kicker Crapigna hurt in practice according to JDunk. Hammy injury could be moved to 6-game.
How does someone get injured during walkthrough?
This is the 2nd time this year the Riders have made changes after they announce their 46 man roster. They should have to stick to the roster they initially submitted to the league. That's why they allow for a 2 man reserve.

Wanna sell it? He'd probably die laughing if I showed up to a party wearing it.
I run into him and a few of the other OL from that era at social events from time to time, my friend is dating one of them.
Lol, I'll hold onto it. I kind of cherish the fact that its rare.
At a Bomber fan forum a few years back they were giving away jerseys off the backs of 5 or 6 players.
Guys like Chris Matthews were there and the winners got to pick which jersey they wanted. Guess who was the last to win.

I think the most surprising thing is I'm not the only one with a Terrence Jeffers-Harris jersey.
I won a 3XL Chris Kowalczuk jersey. I might be only person that's not a relative of his that owns one.
The jersey is perfect if I ever need to wear something over a couple of parkas to a game.

When has a 2 QB system worked recently? I mean like guys sharing reps in the same game and not due to injury. I think the level of preparation now is such that you can't really pull it off unless you have like an aged Dickenson or someone like that who can just step on the field and play. Unless you find two carbon copies with the same skill sets.
It worked for the TiCats in 2013, well against the Bombers at least. They had Burris as the clear number one but LeFevour who would come in as a change up option.

But Lemon as #2 or even #3? No way. Knowing Jones he's just screwing around the roster.
I know what you are saying but Riderfans seem to feel that Newsome had a great camp and just beat out Lemon.
Knox is another guy that was expected to start but he's apparently been banged up during camp.

With gambling companies getting involved as CFL sponsors how can coaches do crap like this with their lineups for much longer? I think this kind of nonsense will become a thing of the past.
Lol. There's no shenanigans with the Rider's depth chart. Players are listed at the positions there were practicing at during training camp.
Jones had at least 8 guys working out in new positions in camp.

And they only have one backup O-line dressing. They better hope none of their hogs go down!
And that 6th olineman - Hason Hazine just converted from the dline this year. But that's none of my business.

Hurry, sign Buckner for insurance as a 7th starter...
I know you're just joking but on the subject of Buckner he signed with the TiCats today.

I received a call today. I order a Harris on the Friday that they went on sale. Hopefully, Andrew isn't too injured, as I seem to be a bit of a curse when I get current players on jerseys.
Special Birthday Congrats - Bob Irving

Unlike Roddy, Bob would never say we or us when talking about the team he covers.
Happy B Day Bob, and I like the text option for questions into the coach's show by the way. (text your questions to 204-780-6868).
