And Jones's helper monkeys amongst the Rider fan base are selling this move as progress. It's truly unbelievable.

Many Rider fans are trying to equate Glenn and Durant in terms of effectiveness. Knowledgeable fans and fans who don't have their heads up Chris Jones's ass know this notion is laughable.

An aging broken down QB gets signed for a low price. Alert world media.

Will sign with Riders shortly.

Being kept out of the spotlight , not hard in this pathetic media market, but he is content with Austin being the point man for every major football decision.

Nope. Happy in Hamilton.

Astonishing rationalization of Glenn signing. He stopped being an effective QB on any level two years ago so he is of no value if wheels come off whatever QB of the Month Club Jones has to start season off. Mentor ? Glenn's never mentored another QB in his life . He is naturally dour, introverted and often sullen . To ask him to be a constantly nurturing and supportive teacher is ridiculous.

Apparently all that really mattered was Jones winning the standoff with Durant. Congratulations are in order. Way to go Jonesie . You did it !

Mr. "Try winning with some class" Jones. Treats a probable Hall of Famer and team god Durant like garbage and goes out a signs the biggest douchebag and locker room cancer in the league. Jerk is as jerk does.

Not exactly sexy news but there's something to be said for continuity vs. change for the sake of change. Knows the system and players and is respected. Most importantly he knows the Austin mindset and team culture Austin wants to build and maintain. Wasnt like there were quality DCs out there either. And please don't say Chamblin.

Bombers brain trust made the team better. Teams can decline through bad luck, happenstance, financials out of their control or bad management decisions. The Riders, without Durant, are now worse off, until further notice. And it was a decision made by Jones to do so.

Funny, the rationale of Jones defenders was that he must have a plan if he was willing to let a QB of Durant's quality walk away. It would seem The Plan is to "wait and see" what happens. And this is what they've put their faith in ?

Still a remarkable number of Jones defenders. If they can pretend being comfortable with trading away a team-heart and soul starting QB for picks they can certainly entertain Tate whom they previously derided as a selfish flake. Jones has gone all in in blowing up franchise and his defenders are along for the ride.....right over the cliff if need be.

Jones gets a bag of practice balls for a player once hailed as "better than Lancaster" then derides him on the way out the door. Try trading with some class, Chris Jones.

Are Bombers actively interested in Franklin ?

Even as bad as the Bombers image was in the Kelly/Mack years I dont think it got quite as bad as the Riders are now.

Typical lazy sports media move. There's a GM spot opening up then reporter goes through list of recently fired GMs or speculates on current GMs that might want to leave no matter how weak the case.. More tweets, more clicks, more talk, forces teams' brass to respond. Keeps story alive. Mission accomplished.

Tillman isnt leaving Hamilton

Somebody in internet universe exploits this then pretends to to be saddened and then turns it into anti-gun, anti-everything sermon in 5...4...3

Stamps drank their own bathwater heading into final stretch of regular season and crushing WF win made GC feel like a formality. When that kind of attitude permeates a team it's the coach that has to wear the loss for not tempering it. That gosh and golly grin will gone from DD's face for awhile

A lot of Rider fans planning going away party for Durant and a welcome home party for Franklin. But is he under contract next year or not. How can something so simple be so unclear ?

"pretty much sold out" is irrelevent. HAM "sells out" every game too . Point was fortunes are down and people are staying away ergo Rider fans are like everyone else which was the point.

Out of playoffs, ratings down, rainy day and stadium half empty. No, rider fans you arent different or special-you're just like everyone else. Welcome to reality.

A patchwork offense for sure.

A beat up HTC roster rambles into Regina against a resurgent Rider team. "Resurgent" because they won their second game of the year.
