Why not? you've known her all your life. 

I went to Starbucks today for a latte. I told the barista that I'd pay only $2.50 for it, citing market corrections. In related news, my latte is refusing to report.

Here's a package for St. John
- Neufeld
- first pick in the 8th round
-a 10 oz jar of Mrs. Dumfitter's ego tenderizer 
For St. John and their 1st overall
(Draft Day type of deal) 

If you can't rely on a guy because he always seems to be on the IR then you need to cut your losses and find someone you can count on game in and game out. 

Went to Practice today...raining most of the time for the players, but didn't seem to hold them back at all.
We have a lot of really good looking receivers, which we couldn't say in previous years.
First...the latest receiver into camp #72 Lestar Jean...no thanks...tall but not fast, doesn't look nearly as athletic as most of the others, is not agressive enough and drops some.
Dressler and Smith? both look really good, especially Smith, great hands and movement, and a motor that doesn't quit.
Jace Davis and Justin Talley, both of them still look really good. To bad Sheppard is injured. Veltung also looked very good...Kohlert looks very good, Bastien not so much. 
Now for Richards...don't know if he is still nursing the injury...but he is slow off the line, and to me looks slow in general, and doesn't have an easy time getting open. He was fine on a couple of quick hitters but other than that...well...I think Vitt is better than him but we will see. Feoli-Guido made some nice catches but also dropped a couple of fpretty easy ones.
McDuffie...is a good find. He is very quick with really good lateral movement, and catches very well. Will be interesting to see him returning kicks.
As mentioned Adams got hurt on one play, Kevin Cone is way better than Lestar Jean in my opinion. 
We are going to have to make some tough cuts.
Andrew Harris looks fantastic, and gives it his all on every play. For me a toss up between Anderson and Flanders.
Medlock was attempting kicks from mid field, he was wide on one and short on two others, but not by much and in wet conditions. Teague Sherman was his holder.
Always easier for me to watch offence, but Euclid Cummings, and Nate Collins look really good. Justin Cole Also. Jake Thomas just breezed past the OL on one on ones. Butcher is one large man, and is obviously very strong and not particularly slow for a man his size. Westerman was Westerman no more needs to be said. It is not hard to tell that Corney really wants to learn, he is talking to the coach to get more instruction. Still impressed with Loffler, he may surprise a few people. I though Celiscar and Fogg has very good days. Bruce Johnson not so much.
There were probably others the coaches thought were good, but hard to track everyone.
Quarterbacks? They all had their moments, but for me and in more than one practice...Brian Bennett looks better than Dominique Davis. He moves better and has a better arm, trouble is that he is less experienced.
One thing is for sure...the QB's will have a lot more options on offence than the last few years. Now they just have to take advantage of them.
 
 
 
 
 

Mike Lucas attempted to engage RS into a battle of wits but soon found out he was beating up on an unarmed man. 

I have this strange anticipatory sense that Jones and his ego are going to implode in Saskatchewan ... we can only hope 

OK Mike. Which do you like the best:  Blondes or Brunettes?  
I like them both for three reasons.
1 - Dressler has experience and what appears to be good speed.
2 - Smith has youth,  great determination and great hands.
3 - Because they are no longer in Regina and are causing the Green Nation to go sleepless.

Where's the "Both, and I'm ecstatic cause it's driving Riderfans crazy" option? 

If Jones becomes another Mike Kelly I'm so happy he's in Regina and not here. All I have to say about that.

They could improve the game experience by winning more than they lose. 

I was at the practice but it was just about all theory and repetitions today. The defence was at one end and the offence at the other. As you can see the QBs were even playing some defence.

Time to move on people... the guy isn't coming back to the Blue.
I'd much rather we have a 3 page thread on Khalil Bass who is an awesome player and a guy who loves the city and its fans!

Both of these guys now have new jobs. I was planning to go to the practices with a decent camera.  I would appreciate if someone would do me a favour and tell me how to post pictures.

Tough on them not having signed St. John but hey, they signed all three of their other picks.
If these guys make the play off, Pope Francis will consider that a miracle worth of elevating  Jones to Sainthood.
Should he fail and have a bad year, he will be canonized with a Howitzer

The previous post is under review...
Good football news for a lot of teams and fans this off season, and some more good news as TSN is broadcasting ALL pre-season games this year!
Yeah!

That's not really a fair assessment though as we never had any draft picks in that era.

Actually, they probably did.  If it had happened anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush

If that happens it could be because there will have been two little guys from North Dakota giving the LB's fits. Depending on what position they end up playing I guess. 
It sure is nice to dream about what might happen and then realize that for once we do have a chance. 

Could possibly also have to do with the fact that he was just plain brutal last year.

And have them pay for it too!

According to Doug Brown the command centre will now basically have its thumb print on many aspect of the game. If his interpretation of the rule changes is correct, we are in for many game stoppages while some guy in Toronto reviews a play. And that's not good. The football fan sitting in the seat at the stadium is in most cases able to form an educated opinion of what he sees on the screen during a slow motion replay. So when the command centre's call is booed by all the fans, it's a pretty good indication the call was wrong.  They get as many calls wrong as there are by the refs that are debatable. 
Personally, I would get rid of all video replays and when the call it wrong just lump it. We will get our turn at some point. The game will last longer and guess who gains by having more time. The same people who I would guess had a strong influence in the adoption of the rules. The game stops for 30 seconds well let's throw a 20 second spot in there. How many times do you PVR a game only to find out you are missing the last part of the game.
Just my thinking.
