It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
Walters to me in an incomplete. Things seem to be turning around. In theory, I like his approach which seems to be build piece by piece, upgrade your NI talent and keep scouting for your Int talent. Our NI talent is improved with potential for it to be really improved (upside of Chungh, Waggoner and Richards) and they have some potentially great Int adds (J.Adams, Veltung/Bass).

Election 2015
Do you want to subsidize those making over $100,000 combined for their daycare, especially when they own cabins and/or take trips each year? I don't. A single Mom working shifts and making $30,000, sure.

Election 2015
On OAS. I think people confuse it with CPP. CPP, you pay into. OAS is from general revenue. With people living longer is making people wait until 67 so bad? Not in my opinion. You can still collect your CPP before. You may have a pension. You, hopefully have savings. Child care is interesting. Know who benefits the most from Quebec's program? The wealthy. I don't want to fund childcare for couples making over $100,000 but would have too.

Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion
Wait, they release you if you mouth off to CC? Tell Demski to mouth off and moon him. I'll drive out to pick him up to take him to IGF to sign with Winnipeg.

If Richardson is no longer with the Riders that's a sign the rebuild is on, right?

Election 2015
One thing with the election call, it puts a limit on third party spending (like unions). Likely stops what happened in Ontario, third parties there spent more in the last election than the three parties did combined.

GST raise would be interesting. Could see either the Liberals or the NDP raising it a % or 2.

Election 2015
I'd like to see more written about the cost of the NDP's promises. I'll give you two: National Day care and increasing foreign aid. They say day care will be 5 billion a year. Let's accept that for now. To increase foreign aid to .7% of GDP is another 9.3 billion. That is an increase of 14.3 billion in spending on only two promises. Where does that $ come from?

Wonder what they both make. Taman and CC have contracts through 2017. That has to be a good chunk of change. I know the Riders have cash but still.

Bomber transactions
You're thinking Marshall as lead back and Cotton as the change of pace?

August 3 practice update
I think if Veltung and Adams continue to show they can produce, GB is correct that Moore takes a pay cut or is not resigned next year.

Bomber transactions
I'm somewhat surprised on Harlan, thought he was decent.

Biggest Regret as a Bomber Fan
This was one of my biggest reason for buying Grey Cup tickets this year. I mean, I've never been but the chance to take my Dad to a Grey Cup was too important to pass up.

Hopefully that is a rest day for Bryant.

Rider fans calling Willy a great pocket passer
Exactly. They made a choice to not really pursue retaining a player. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but a choice was made much like Saskatchewan chose to keep Durant knowing Willy would pursue an opportunity to start. Exactly.

Trevor Harris
So if you are Toronto, do they extend Harris and move on from Ray or the opposite. Ray will be 37 next year, Harris 30.

Wait, they might rally with a new coach. They need to wait till after they lose the LDC and the Banjo Bowl.

Geroy went to the NFL, he didn't walk. Unless you count Taman not resigning him when he returned and oh cutting Troy Mills or Eric Blount.

MOS is nuts if he thinks Brohm can help him.

CC and Taman's contracts go through 2017. That's 2.67 years to pay C.C. and Taman if you fire them.

Week 6 other games, other teams
Suitor is pumping up Smith a little too much methinks.

I call a minimum of 5 sacks by Edmonton tonight.

Two newcomers on D and on O ...
I wasn't sure about Veltung but man he looks good. I agree with JBR, would rather see him on the roster than Stoudermire if it comes to that. Heck, I'd also like to see Denmark/Adams/Moore/Veltung all starting at receiver.

The Day Early Game Day Thread - BC @ WPG
I bet we sign another high profile OL during the Feb free agency frenzy. Just continue to build a solid line. Get the starters in there & groom the young guys like Calgary has done. Once we do that, this team will truly be a force. Agreed if a NI comes free. On the flipside of that, is Picard let go next winter? Hard to see him getting 200 k again.
