Very Cool!
I didn't even know it had happened until I saw it on BBC.

Maybe the thinking is that Poblah, Waggoner (not Richards), and now Wolitarsky, were plucked in the supplemental draft, and the first two had less than stellar careers?
You can find plenty to criticize Addison (throw down those shackles) Richards, but being a supp. draft bust isn't one of them.

Demski will look terrific in Blue and Gold.

Loffler was pretty low.
I hope he's pissed off.

Really frustrated that they cut Liggins.
Let's see if Tracker and Mr. Dee can restrain themselves from stating the obvious on this one.

Anyone else getting the vibe that Vince Young being out is just a ruse so the Bombers don't have any film on him for the season opener on Canada Day?
Not a ruse but an excuse.
An excuse by the team; so that when they cut his sorry ass, they (and he) can claim his release is injury related and not due to poor play.

I know the dumb quarterback monicker really irked Brock. Brock had somewhat of an adversarial relationship with the media in the years after that. Even after he totally crushed their criticisms of his cognitive ability in the years after. I think it was unfair & I'd like to know what media member started it. Would have been interesting to compare the type of offenses both played in college as to which one was harder to grasp & more complex. That would put one ahead of the other if say, Knight had a more difficult playbook to learn before coming to the Bombers than Brock did. As well as competition. Which college of the 2 played better teams. Brock played at Jacksonville State while Knight played at the University of Richmond.
Yes, the "dumb brute" rap hung heavily on him. Thanks for the insight on Jauch's mentorship, I wasn't aware of that side of things.
Do you remember him as a HC/QB coach while working with Wilkinson and Lemmerman in Edmonton?

I remember the 1976 & 77 seasons. We had Jay Washington & Steve Beaird as the two starting running backs. Beaird from Baylor could hold his own with Washington & Brock had 2 great backs to hand off to. Both were threats when they had the football. Our running game sure opened up the passing game. We'd never see that today.
The Baylor Bowling Ball was probably one of the worst nicknames of all time, but he was great...reminded me of Chad Kackert (sp.)

good for smalley, but who are these couple of year vets that he knows the playbook better than after two weeks?
Get em Mark...Get em.

Yeah, I was at Smith's first practice (he was injured and just rode the bike on the sideline). After practice the media wanted to talk to Roberts but he literally ran away from them and hid under the grandstand. Good times.
Onterrio Smith
Remember when (as a Viking) he tried to make it through customs and was caught with The Original Whizzinator?

Was it worth it 4 seasons later? That's debatable seeing the state of the Riders since. Lovin' it btw.
They mortgaged their immediate future...That coupled with ineptitude made it four years (and counting).

Did he? Debatable. Defence was good when Hall was in charge. Taman spending money like a drunken sailor. Chamblin was known to have favorites( not a good trait for a head coach). BUT we were successful under Chamblin for a while, it was the success that went to his head, and ultimately was his undoing in the end.
It completely baffles me how you and other Rider fans can minimize what Chamblin/Tamin did.
You WON THE FREAKING CUP! So what if the future was mortgaged?

I still remember that Banjo Bowl we got destroyed 55-10 in 2009... Bob sounded more angry and disgusted with what he was watching then I was. In a weird way it was actually comforting to hear that dejection in his voice cuz he wasn't trying to polish a turd and tell me it was a cupcake
The last coach's show he had with Reinbold in the studio was the most cringe worthy radio I had ever heard.
IIRC a caller started off with faint praise for the coach and then completely flamed him. The caller was relentless, and it seemed to go on and on...All the while Coach just took the abuse.
Meanwhile, Irving just let it play out. He could have cut the guy off but didn't. In hindsight, Reinbold took it like a pro.
Compelling radio for the time.

I don't think Nichols is any kind of top tier qb or anything, he's good enough to win with if the team around him is playing well, but here is the major difference between Nichols and Glenn.... Nichols showed some real leadership with the Bombers last season where as Kevin Glenn is in no way shape or form a leader of any kind, that coupled with his age and declining skills makes me skeptical he's going to be any screaming hell in a place like Saskatchewan.
