It doesn't matter a rat's butt what Matthews does elsewhere. He wasn't earning his keep here and may even been a divisive or disruptive influence. Sempre avanti!

That is true to an extent but Bighill seems to be out of position and whiffing tackles more often this year.

A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Vehemently disagree. Walters in particular has taken the long view since day one ans has built a team that looked to be the best in the league and may still be. Matthews was a gamble but so was Nichols and Andrew Harris. You pays yer money and takes yer chances, and Walters has been right a lot more than wrong.

So far, he has not wowed like Geoff Gray did as soon as he stepped in, but he will one day. He has the size, athleticism and pugnacity and all he lacks is experience.

The available evidence says he is guilty.

Harris #33 has probably screwed himself out of any MOP or MOC awards.

I still think Desjarlais is a diamond in the rough. He is going to be a starter one day soon and be around for a long time.

The sane Rider fans are saying that they expect 2019 to be worse than 2018, but better than 2020.

"trace amounts", if true, can also be attributed to masking agents.

These aren't the Roids you're looking for.

Reaves would probably not want to embarrass the Rider fans by bragging that he could read.

O'Day is going to have a steep learning curve and Micah Johnson is one example.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can make misery a lot more comfortable.

Well, it has provided me with a living, or rather used to. Mostly retired now.

I am and have been for years, an internationally accredited substance abuse professional.

And if you have really been heavily into ditchweed for a long time, you can test positive for a year or more.

Or that he has a limited conversational range.

Once you start researching, there is an incredible amount of information out there on the internet and locally in the body-building community. I have no doubt that there are people in Winnipeg that will formulate the stuff for you for the right price.

The only way that Harris is going to be completely vindicated would be for him to produce a clearly unopened container of the supplement he claims was responsible and, in the presence of a disinterested credible third party, take the container to a lab and have it tested. However, even if it was untainted, Harris could claim that the contamination was obviously a random event at the source, making the test irrelevant. In my experience, a positive test is pretty conclusive, if it was a gas-chromatography mass spectrometer test. There was obviously cause to suspect Harris and he put his hand into the cookie jar once too often.

We may be considered underdogs with all the turmoil and injuries going up against a relatively healthy Rider team, but that is not all bad. If our side pulls together in the face of adversity and beats the Greenies, particularly if it is a lopsided win, that should deflate them pretty good.

A part of the motivation for this decision might have been to send a message to our other import receivers that no one is untouchable.

We shall see.

We knew that signing Bowman last year was a stretch, but Matthews should still be in his prime as a receiver at 29. How could someone fall so far so fast? That he hasn't been grabbed immediately by one of the talent-poor teams has to say a lot about him. Too bad.
