I'm no coaching expert... but If I'm an Als fan, I'd much prefer to keep Thorpe as HC than bring in Maciocia...

I was too busy respecting her for her intelligence and personality to notice.... *can some please copy and paste and send that to my wife, thanks*

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say.... maybe??

I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice to have at least one rep from each team on this site... Hamilton: Zontar Toronto: Bluto (though he doesn't seem to appear too much) Sask: Ripper, AtlRiderFan but I think that's all we have... someone mentioned you are a BC guy... nice to add a BC rep to the mix...

Well he did have the best defense in the league with CAUCHY MUAMBA as his starting safety... that's gotta count for something!

I actually went to read an article Mike wrote b/c I was hoping for some level headed Rider analysis... boy was I wrong... it was just another diatribe on what was apparently one of the worst calls in CFL history... yet for some reason the CFL hasn't issued an apology saying they made a mistake... odd... the article could've been credited to Pederson and I wouldn't have questioned it...

I think Peter Dyakowski can show you a scientific study that proves this to be true...

that really bothers me every Bomber game... reminder: TNSE does not own the Bombers...

That was a Tony Kornheiser reference from PTI... he always used to call Bill Simmons an "insufferable Boston homer"... no offense intended

On behalf of the Mods (cuz I'm certainly not one)... I'll remind you, that's not how we roll around here.... sure Ripper can be an insufferable Rider homer (Tony Kornheiser reference )... but he's no troll...

I'm confused... none of these are correct...

Somebody screwed up on that play... but don't know who... Dress was thinking corner and Nichols was throwing middle... one of them was correct... and I'm glad we'll never know who... good players/teams never do any public finger pointing...

I legitimately can't tell if Pederson has completely lost it... or taken his ridiculous shtick to new level...

I'm gonna assume this is a tongue-in-cheek comment... If not, Mike is right.... you're losing it...

I bet the Riders wish they had a dynamic pass rusher like that...

He doesn't strike me as the kind of player that would keep himself in shape while not playing...

I have to eat some serious crow about BC... I think I predicted they would be last in the west (yes, behind Sask)... and I also predicted they would have the 1st and 2nd overall pick in the 2017 draft (with owning Mtl's first)... it seems I may have underestimated them...

I think if Durant was our QB we would be 6-3 or 7-2... If we somehow managed to pickup Durant (don't see that happening)... that should shorten Nichols' leash...

I agree with this, to an extent... the first win in Hamilton, the team NEEDED six turnovers to win... that one was ugly and if that was the best we had to offer, then we wouldn't be winning much more... these last 4 games have been a far more impressive team effort... offense isn't blowing the doors off anyone... but they are playing well enough to win... and that's what counts...

I'm not sure which he you're referring to... but I recall the story from both Dressler and Chick was they were willing to negotiate but Jones offered something low and said take it or leave it...

I think this goes to show you the Walter's crew has successfully recruited a legitimate O-line... Had they not signed Bryant the O-line could be Foketi-Bond-Goossen-Chungh-Hardrick... Although Hardrick was brought into the league by BC he was pretty much a cast-off by time we picked him up...

I'm always happy to add Bison players/local guys... being a depth O-lineman is even better... hopefully he works out to be a starter one day...

Why would that change?... the only time he has ever flipped out to RT was the game Hardrick got hurt....

You can't let your obvious bias get in the way if you want to have a critical discussion... you're trying to tell me you wouldn't trade Durant for Jennings or Harris, straight up, today?... and Collaros is debatable?!?! Collaros is far superior to Durant this stage of their careers... If I had to list the current starters I'd want today... based on current talent... I'd go Bo-Levi, Collaros, Reilly, Harris, Ray, Jennings, Durant, Nichols, Glenn (only ranked Nichols higher than Glenn b/c of his ball security)... I agree with ISO... Durant has had a great career (probably HOF) and deserves all the respect he gets... but to say he's still a top QB in the league is certainly a stretch...

This has nothing to do with faith in the team... I have every reason to believe they can win this game... it's just plain, stupid superstition at this point...
