  1. Is that even possible? From the Riderfans' forum: there was a scrap, the players have been ordered to say nothing to anyone, one of the participants (Sam Williams) is "sick" today and not available to be interviewed, Carter may or may not play Friday (even though he's healthy), Madani was mostly right, and it was all Threedownnation's fault, no matter what didn't happen. And it's not a circus over there- more like a zoo.
  2. crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap. Walters and O'Shea better have a good replacement for Adams in the bullpen. With Adams in the lineup, and with Denmark fading away, we were barely good enough. Now we're in trouble.
  3. Dressler was good, no question, but he's not 22 years old any more and sustained a number of serious injuries, so all we can do is hope. Thankfully, the next game against the Boatmen will give him the equivalent of full-contact practice.
  4. He seemed to read his blocking well and broke a couple of tackles so that might be a good place for him to show his stuff. A scatback mostly relies on reaction and instinct, so he shouldn't take long to either return kicks or be a replacement for Flanders if need be. Look at how well and how quickly Gable settled in to the Esks' offence.
  5. That, and maybe they want to push Flanders. Sometimes a player returns from injury and has lost his edge.
  6. I resent his slur on the CFL. The agent and Mulumba both have to know that time is not on their side- I would bet that if nothing gets done in the next few days, it isn't going to get done at all.
  7. As much as can be determined by a highlight reel, Bauman looks very interesting. He runs with great balance and determination, seems quick and fast enough to beat DBs and looks to have surprising power. These late additions usually are looksees for next year, but he reminds me a lot of ChuckBob.
  8. You're not alone. The only ones not confused are the Rider thralls who will believe anything fed to them- more like a doomsday sect than fans. Its anyone's fault but Jones's.
  9. This is pure speculation, but one of the players could have gone to a coach complaining about the other player and was told to confront his adversary directly.
  10. Over at Riderfans, they are slowly working through the four stages of grief: denial, anger, and depression, but the acceptance part is still far, far away. I am reveling in schadenfreude and God will probably going to get me for that.
  11. And yet, he could not be a consistent starter in spite of wowing everyone each time he plays. A puzzlement to be sure.
  12. Most of us learn from our big, stupid mistakes but some of us are remarkably resistant to learning.
  13. FWIW; on 1290 yesterday, (I think it was Bauming) it was stated that the circumstances behind Thorpe's departure were such that there was zero chance he would ever be back. No details.
  14. Grant has never had any baggage, but Carter................I don't think Gimli has distilled enough firewater to get O'Shea and Walters to bring him in.
  15. Well, we were all expecting the crap named Duron Carter to hit the fan sooner or later, but this..... this sounds like a bizarre series of events, and if its anywhere near true, not only are the Riders in the process of imploding, but so is Chris Jones' stewardship pf the team. Surely the board of directors cannot ignore this. As soon as I take my Librium, I'm gonna go read the Rider fans' comments.
  16. You weren't alone in writing off the TiCats and Masoli. Masoli looks like one of those QBs who aren't polished but just win anyways. Hard to believe that an American coach with no CFL experience could make such a difference in a short time.
  17. If my memory serves, when a pass to him was picked off, he didn't try to chase down the DB.
  18. The crappy thing is that we have a very suspect MLB and now we have to replace Leggett. Whoever steps in will have big shoes to fill.
  19. Worst case scenario, dammit. Still, a bad strain could have been as bad as a torn Achilles. Hard to replace a league all-star easily.
  20. It would be like asking Peluso to cover McDavid.
