    Yep. Big sky conference in general, aac, cusa, mid America, mountain west, pac 12. A lot of really small schools in the transfer portal era too. Big prospects start out at top notch schools it doesn’t work out and go down to get starts also juco guys move up to those teams. It’s like the perfect low middle meeting place for cfl players. Also Florida state, central Florida, nd/sd and state. 

    Mountain West Conference as well...or lot of guys who transferred out like u mentioned as well from there find there way up to CFL...or what was parts of the Big West before a lot of the realignment and what was known as the WAC

    Work with a lot of players and coaches there as well...seeing as that's where I came from

    I think what’s unique about the riders is the volume of creeps they’ve had. Even over 10 and 15 years to Trevis smith. Stack them up over that time and compare it to the rest of the league. 
     Athletes especially in football frequently come from bad situations, and are prone to having varied legal issues. Every one has a guy now and then. And some of them are really awful. When it happens on a regular basis with one team though it’s different. 
     

    In the case of Harris and lawler, we broke the news and acted quickly as an organization. Which never seems to be the approach from the riders. Even when their guy refuses a piss test, accosts the tester and runs away. Kelly’s ass was grass as soon as it happened too, though we were looking for an excuse to can that turd imo. 

    and Hughes passed out at the wheeel they tried to hide until the press leaked it...ooopsie daisy....effin Riders...scum management and players for most part

    Exactly. Things were of such low moral standard over there that they felt the need to publicly create a code of conduct due to fan outrage, which they immediately refused to enforce in subsequent years.

    But hey bring it up and a Riderfan will pull his head out of the sand just long enough to call you an idiot before immediately sticking his head back in. Oblivious thy name is Rider fans.

    And wasn't Kory Sheets busted in locker room for stealing from other players wallets? Classy character guys

  4. There were several busts that game...2 death shot ones at that....Rose being excluded was one of many dumb moves...which we won't rehash again...tho we all know rolling out with only 2 receivers who could be effective...let alone a threat.

    Biggie yes was not the guy at fault...per say...but he was faulty in he couldn't react immediately and when he did he didn't have ability to perform at high level.

    Clements..Cole..could have easily impeded that one play...but we will never know...but knowing a few things and knowing where a bust might occur based on what the offense did...a healthy guy could have reacted

    In the full length interview I posted earlier, Jeffcoat revealed the Stamps, Lions and Riders were all interested in him, Sask. made him an offer which the other two plus Walters were not able to match, but within a day or two the Riders also signed Malik Carney and withdrew their offer.  Instead of accepting an offer well below his self-worth, his agent convinced him to retire.

    typical Rider over pay move...again....and payed top dollar to a lesser talent in Carney...oh Oday....You make me smile

  6. Maybe he did it when he had the "concussion" and didn't realize???

    Fact is...multiple witnesses have corroborated several incidents.....Murphy has a track record for being a greaseball....Kelly has many documented incidents of being unhinged and not right....So all signs point to this being something that was handled poorly...attempted to be glossed over and swept under the radar/rug for team and player to save face....and obviously nothing was solved internally, or the Trainer was treated even more poorly

    She is seeking lost pay it seems, and other damages related to it....and also not a huge amount by any means to make this a real big issue....and the media is just doing what media does....get a lead on a story...and they publish it

    I can see if she went to media...made multiple statements and interviews on it...asking for bags of money....then it may be seen as a lil more sensationalized, but this seems far from the case.

    Now.....bigger question is...if this is found and proven to be accurate...the threats of harm preceding having his desires for a relationship rejected...Murphy trying to make it seem it a non-issue, and his comments about wtf did you bring this up...eytc....should it be safe to assume good ship Argo immediately puts out a presser saying they don't condone this, and the 2 schmucks get sent packing...never to be seen in the CFL again??...I would think yes....correct me if I am wrong

    I’d take him too lol. 
     

    Like this pick up a lot though. A ton of high level experience with tons of versatility. With the athleticism to play te and the physicality to play guard and start at both for bama no less. Says a lot about him not transferring to start else where and try to get reps for a better nfl look. 
     Not hard to see his fit here. Be fun to see him in camp. Also be interesting to see if he’s a project or more pro ready. 

    Yeah. Soo sad, hope they get every thing they need. 
     He’s got an incredibly bright career still as a coach too. Hope he can recover fully. 

    Love this signing....and we do have Kenneth Randall under contract for TC....Looking forward to what he has to show this yr...I think we let him go quietly before to pursue NFL opportunities

     

  8. well...I lived in both cities...at different times...also multiple times....as well as a few extended stays in the U.S....and now have been back here for 18 yrs...theres a reason....just sayin...and I am not a born and bred Manitoban so no bias from growing up here

    Urban decay in all the big cities...the warts...crime....poverty...it's the same everywhere....and I seen many way worse than here, and I have seen areas I get a lil freaked in...and I dont get freaked out easily

  9. Taman also didnt even want Blink ..said he would always be fumbling cause his hands were too small ... And wouldn't last from pounding....prob one the toughest sob's pound for pound...much like Grant is...and Blink rarely fumbled.

    Another Taman assessment was he felt Gavin Walls as well was a pointless camp invite...never liked Taman...glorified ball boy with zero real football connections...more recruiting came to us thru players referrals and parents of players...

    That is an incredibly crass comment and like so many tropes, not at all accurate.  Be better.

    Yeah no kidding ..he never came from that background and when he got back to Cali he did a few things...postman.. but for the last three, four years works in the communication department at a branch of the School of medicine at UCLA.... So very far from a ghetto rat by any means.....shameful comment

  11. I used to get him home many occasion when I bounced at tail end of his time here...he was a loner..came alone...and was dealing with a lot of demons

    I recall many times finally getting him home at 3..4 in morning night before a game and he would rip off 150 yards that day like it was nothing

    Oh what he could have been...when his marriage fell apart so did he
