This is actually the best thing to happen to the Riders... they don't have the cap space to sign him to a big deal now... so they hope he'll be gone for a couple years to give them time to recover... when he's ready to return to the CFL they'll write a big fat cheque.... hope he makes it in the NFL... just so this back-fires on the riders

That's a big one... literally and figuratively...

Just imagine it's five years ago and CITI and Power have changed places... that's basically where we're at...

for those who still think 92 is classic rock... I assume you haven't listened in about 5 years... they changed their slogan to from "Classic Rock" to "World Class Rock"... tricky, I know I usually stream radio at work so I listen a bit... I've been listening to "Big FM" this morning just to check it out and so far the playlist is pretty decent... we'll see how it unfolds....

Great news... for him

http://www.rodpedersen.com/ What an odd comment. I hope that's taken out of context... It's easy to spin that comment back to a negative towards Winnipeg.... when in reality he simply means that the Riders have been a winning organization over the last 10sih years... there was zero mention of the Bombers org...

bit of a reach, eh....

I do like this trade... but imagining Corey Watson in Riders green does make me feel a little sick to the stomach...

No... Darren Cameron stated on twitter that he cannot be named as per CFL policy... however, if he signs with the Bombers they will say he was part of this deal... As per @MorningBigBlue (Mike)

I was doing some browsing over at riderfans and the consensus seems to mostly be disappointment... no one is ready to blow up the entire team yet, but no one terribly thrilled with this move.... Common comment :"if he stays healthy, he could be a a good one"... sound familiar??

with 3 picks in the top 15 you'd have to think Richards and/or Demski are on the radar... and who was that kid from SFU, Durant?

I like that we got something for Watson.... but I hate seeing guys I like go to Saskie... Good luck to him..

I read this on twitter this morning too... this one blew my mind.... Getzlaf is good, yes... but that is a ludicrous amount of money to spend on a 3rd rec...

I'm no vikings fan... but there really is nothing better than seeing the patriots lose!

I saw on the twitter that Naylor had an interview with Ott's AGM...

He fights to keep his position... nothing wrong with a little competition... being a ST ace also works in Unamba's favour

IMO Emry is the better player... meaning Sask won the trade... I'd take either one right now though

SIGN HIM!!! SIGN HIM!! Haha, hard to imagine Wally lets him go...

Just like two former Bombers making the two biggest plays to get the Seahawks in the Super Bowl was last weekend!

What happened to MLBs being labelled MIKE?... unless he's referring to a Joe Mack-style LB?

I'd have to think he makes the team as a special teamer... back up safety (probably SS, not sure where he played in college)... probably using his long snapping as an advantage... all the best Ian Wild...

C'mon now, that's uncalled for.... Bob Cole is a legend... sure he's lost a step (or 7)... sure he only recognizes about 1/3 of the players in the league... sure he has trouble following the play most of the time.... but that legendary voice will never die!

I think you're slightly missing the point... adding a guy like Vermette is not suddenly gonna make our bottom 6 so good that we can roll 4 lines.... The LA example was perfect.... they're 4 centers last year were Kopitar, Carter, Stoll, Richards... while we currently have Sheifele, Little, Lowry, Slater... not exactly an even comparison....do you really want Peluso or Thorburn on the ice (ever) in the playoffs??

That was me. I'm really smart... With that avatar, I can tell you're a winner

His highlight video lists him at 6'2 240.... at that size he seems more apt for MLB... but if he has the speed to play WIL... I wouldn't have a problem with that...
