Sadly, the re-hiring of Chris Jones should never have been done by Toronto, this past summer. He didn't deserve a 2nd opportunity with them, let alone the CFL, now. He claimed he had his dream job (coaching in his home town, plus the NFL Cleveland job, after he left the Riders high/dry, which sadly Rider fans don't see it, as he does no wrong). His leaving or screwing other CFL teams is his passion, as in: Riders (all CFL coaching staff were set at the time, although Rider nation was upset with the Bombers as we should have given Lapo an opportunity to interview), Eskimos (after winning the Grey Cup, no need to cerebrate with championship team, focus on another team ), Argos (there is something there, but can't remember) & the Stamps (I know Huff was really upset with him when he left). Now, with the Elks, yes he will find ways to improve the team quickly and the winning will happen sooner than later. But with him come the shenanigans as we all saw with the Riders (fake injuries during the game creating play stoppage, player stashing and anything else that comes to his mind). I have posted earlier about Chris Jones and my dislike for his ways. He can coach/manage a football team, that I know. But, in my way of thinking there are capable people in our league that could have done the job(s) in Edmonton or for that matter in Toronto earlier this year. He definitely can/will do a quick fix, but for how long he stays there or even the CFL, is my question. Remember, Edmonton, under lots of fanfare, 2 years ago, you guys paid a head football coach for a complete year to sit on his back side, collect his salary & leave for the NFL on short notice. Hopefully, its not a repeat, with Mr. Jones. In closing, I'm disappointed with the group that was the Edmonton selection group, but like the outcome in Ottawa.

I don't have a problem with promotions or people accepting better jobs, as many of these individuals have earned these opportunities. I'm speaking about guys within our organization and those outside of our organization. But, I hope to heck Chris Jones is not considered by any organization. Although, one organization speaks highly of him after he left them high & dry well after the period were most teams had their coaching staffs in place & set. This guy is strictly about himself and only himself.

As we want to see Ottawa, Ottawa folks want to see the Bombers.... It's been awhile for both cities....

We here in Manitoba/Winnipeg should be very proud to have the O'Shea's residing in our community. Top Shelve Family & Citizens!!!

I think I had read something, that Fajardo's contract was restructured, either in 2020 or 2021 based on previous performance/play i.e. 2019. The actually number(s) I'm not certain on. Now this is an aging memory with a who cares attitude towards the Green/White activities....

Teams are beginning to do their early player signings this week, which has people like us into the CFL. This is great!!! The past few seasons, right after the Grey Cup (December/early Jan) the GM's & coaching positions are addressed (unless you are Chris Jones). What I'm waiting for is the GM announcements/movements plus coaching hires throughout the league...

I could see that happening, a two (2) QB system in Regina. Remember, Grey Cup in Saskatchewan, we know how they worked with the salary cap when they last hosted.... Just my observation on our QB's and what all u are saying, is possible/probable

Interesting, does Harris stay? or does he have a new home?

Got me wondering why only 1 of the 3 QB's was at last nights function? Perhaps the end of season discussions has something to do with it?

Thanks, Booch, agree with you. He would blend in nicely, with a system that uses two (2) QB's... I have wondered how, he would look in a offense such as the Bombers...

Remember, the Sask media/fan base had Fajardo MOP at the first snap of the 2021 season. That changed quickly this season, once all DC's figured it out... But, this group (Sk media/fan base) still living in a dream world. The sad thing, Cody keeps reading this stuff, takes it to heart and then it effects his game. I honestly, feel for the guy. At the start of 2019 Fajardo was the 2nd string QB behind ZC for the Riders. I will give Fajardo this, that once he got his opportunity, he got on a roll and things went his way. But, he is far from the starting QB's out here in the western conference. He did make the statement, I'm in my second year as a starting QB.

I call "BS" to his report by Arash Madani & 3 Down ... Wally Buono (won't let this happen doing Grey Cup week) has been hired to oversee the hiring & interviewing of the Elk openings... If this news came out next week, say Tue/Wed, I would put some stock into it... during Grey Cup*

Material for the bulletin board! But our team doesn't need that as they will go 1 - 0 this week....

What's this white stuff on my driveway? Was this not suppose to happen later, later in the day, like 7 pm?

But again, those in the know on Riders.com, say #33 will be & is a non-factor for this game. Agree with your comment, snowy weather can definitely be a factor or a equalizer, but I believe this Bomber team is built for these situations.

No problem, Re..... was just passing on info to the entire group, wasn't meant as a shot at you.

Not that I will defend Rider Nation or its players, but Micah Johnson lost his father a couple weeks back and was attending/doing a family virtual yesterday. I will respect.

Wow, thanks!!! Was not aware of that, interesting... I listen to Derek Taylor (DT SportsCage) every so often, Get my fill of Rider happens, besides Madini who guests on the show.. Once Madini comes on, its exit stage left...

Are you referring to Arash Madani? That's one individual & some others from (Big Smoke area code 416) I don't bother reading any or for that matter listening to their words of wisdom.. As far as Madani, in the past when I've heard or listened to him, its always negative about the CFL... He's big on Toronto & sports connected to the States.

Does this fall under the topic of: "Non Issue & will be handled Internally"?

Angels in good standing, cause Cody said so... ask the Sask Media types, I'm sure they will back it up!!!

As a fan base here, all we can do is plainly sit back and enjoy our team, its fun to watch & cheer for. We have lived through many disappointments throughout the previous years, which the Saskatchewan fan base, fails to see or mention. All I will say is: those were some interesting comments provided in the Rider fan forum, this past evening!!! Its not worth spending time on their views, it is what it is. Looking forward to the next three (3) regular season games, including the Dec 5th game here in the Peg. Go Bombers!!!!!

Cooper maybe a replacement for Nelson. Concerns have been raised over the return game on here, which also includes the odd offensive play, as well.. Grant is fine today, but just in case down the road, Cooper may become a need. I can see the reason for this move..

I wouldn't call him a "loser", but just needs to learn to shut his trap and play the game of football that he loves...
