They already gave up their 2017 1st. We'd have to wait until 2018.

Is Vaughn worth a look?

Montreal is clinging to the late 70s man.

So the Riders cheat and we fine the whistle blower? BS.

Hecht is likely better than Francis but do you want him as your starting safety? Uggh.

Pedersen needs to go the way of Marty York.

Bennett seems like an upgrade for the Riders, Hecht not so much.

Wonder if Marcel would give us a first? I think I'd take it.

I've said it before, the TV deal with TSN is the biggest part of league revenue. There is no way that TSN does that deal if the ratings are driven only by Saskatchewan. I've never seen a breakdown by region but the games must get a decent draw in Ontario and to a lesser extent Alberta and BC. It makes no sense for TSN to do it otherwise.

17to85, you're part of the conspiracy, aren't you?

Slightly off topic but what if Mack had used a futures pick in 2013 on Bo Lokomso instead of using his third on Carl Fitzgerald?

Chris Jones should have known that rule, his team got fined for breaking it in 2014.

I was thinking more of Chris Jones.

Serious question, if they find out that the Riders are paying guys under the table, isn't that a Canadian Labour Code violation? Doesn't that warrant the revocation of a work visa?

As Rich said, the TSN deal is the huge league economic driver. Pretty sure TSN can see the ratings by market and am pretty sure that if they didn't get numbers in BC, Alberta and Ontario (especially), the deal wouldn't be as large or exist at all.

BC has Montreal's first this year too. That's going to be a good team for awhile.

Dear Rod, No conspiracy, just cheating coming to light.

Who doesn't love seeing the Riders lose?

I suspect Coombs is an off season target for us.

I imagine Kris Adams goes to the PR. I agree that he has too many drops but I think his size and athletic potential gets him time.

Are Dressler, Smith and Denmark too similar?

How many did the rest of the team have in that 2005 Thanksgiving Day game against BC? Milt had 4 catches for 234 yards and 4 tds.

Got to love it.

Quinn Smith (DL) is the 7th OL on the roster in essence for Calgary. Jake Thomas doing this for us isn't unheard of.

I'd like to see wbbfan show some evidence of other teams using 7 OL on their 44? Is this like his incorrect argument about Flanders being a returner?
