Banjo Bowl Saturday night.... Huge thumbs up for me!!!

I like Steve Morley... probably more as a person than a player though (same with January)... I wouldn't mind having him around as insurance if his cap hit is reasonable...

Rider fans after 2013: Cortez is a genius that can produce offense at will Rider fans after 2014: Cortz is a joke with no creativity. He's the reason we struggles after DD got hurt. Yeah... I don't put too much value in Rider fan opinions... especially when someone leave sask...

Are we to assume Knox will be in one of those roles?

I suspect he won't get any offers till a team suffers some injuries...

Yup. That's what was said about us when we signed Stanley Bryant by Calgary fans and Cornish. Yeah, that's the joke... (it was actually said by Federkeil)

I thought Lemar Durant was supposed to be a better prospect than Demski?? Does he have NFL potential?

IMO it's not so much the colour... it's the style... If we had the 70's style uniform in navy blue I think would go over a lot better... though I prefer royal blue

Leggett is too good at safety to be moving up to LB...

Craig Button calls Lemieux a "lock to be a second line power forward"... he also considers our prospects "#1 in the league"...that's pretty exciting... Hope Meyers works out, if we can rejuvenate his potential and get a good player with the 1st rounder this could be a land-slide trade...

-Surely this can't be a serious thread? -It is... and don't call me Shirley...

Sure, let's give it a whirl

Is that Bryant or SirVincent??

Why didn't Walters trade Brohm? Cuz he has absolutely no trade value....

I'm not so sure how accurate this scouting report is...

Totally his choice... just like Banks

I'd take that trade... but I doubt it's available... only cuz I've heard the Pens are high on Bennet... but I what do I know??

Does anyone know if he still has the reno business? Sounds like he's got himself set up nicely for post-retirement... like any smart CFLer would... best of luck to him...

He may be right... but it's only one scouts take... if the Seahwaks like him I don't think they really care what a guy who works for NFL.com (and not employed as a scout) thinks...

Assuming we don't break the bank... Rogers, Curran, and Jackson would be a phenomenally successful FA period, IMO... We'll need to improve our Canadian talent through the draft...

That's interesting. Chad Owens must be confused. I know he is Hawaiian, so he must be have ukulele and Kuale held in the same esteem. Both are smaller instruments of sorts, that aspire to be more than what they are. While they both can make noise, it's debatable whether they can be seen as useful…or just noise-makers. Uncalled-for low blow! The ukulele is a perfectly fine instrument

I find it ironic that Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis, the Baltimore CFLers (with the attempted Colts name) changed into the Baltimore Stallions, and then were kicked out by the move of Cleveland to Baltimore. Now the Indianapolis Colts can actually be called the Indianapolis CFLers with the roster including Freeman, Muamba, Carter, and Heenan. The Colts have been active in signing CFLers for a while, ever since Cal Murphy was part of their scouting staff.... I don't think Ryan Grigson (Colts current GM) was with the team when Cal was there but obviously there are still scouts who worked with him and liked his methods...

I'm no amateur scout but that kid looks like he has A VERY LONG WAY to go if he projects to have any sort of success in football... I would guess his first course of action would be to get in shape... probably could afford to lose about another 50 pounds... but you can't teach size and apparently he has a good attitude so you never know what he could amount to...

But we're one day closer to spring than we were yesterday plus we've had a pretty decent winter so far, particularly compared to last winter.True.. Some silver linings to the offseason clouds I suppose it has been an exceptional winter so for.. Only downer is, all the warm weather really makes -20 feel like -40 lol. I think to myself "it's so cold.." Then I think "but it's really not.. Man up!" I know this isn't supposed to be a weather discussion.... but for those of us who do a lot of highway driving.... this melting and freezing back and forth hasn't been great.... ideal winter for me would be consistently between -10 to -15 with just enough snow for a little ground insulation ... no one like frozen pipes
