Yes the MJ rules in the NFL are pretty ridiculous but if I guy is too dumb to not break the rules 3 or 4 times, a hefty suspension is probably appropriate.... it's kinda like driving 80 on kenaston at bishop at 9pm with no workers present.... no one likes the rule, but you'll still get a $400 ticket if you get caught...

I think the billboard in Vancouver is a good idea... drum up some interest, create more of a rivalry.... anyone who thinks the LDC and Banjo Bowl need hyping in Winnipeg or Regina is more clueless than a Riders fan in their first 90 years of existence... putting up a dirty green billboard in Winnipeg is for one reason only... and it's not marketing

He's under contract and suspended.... leads me to believe he would not fall in the same category as LaVon Brazill

I agree that NHL would actually benefit more from contraction rather than expansion... the talent pool is already too watered down and there are several markets that just don't work.... Florida and Phoenix are the obvious ones.... but Dallas struggles when the team isn't successful and SJ and Ana only work if the teams remain good... also I hate to admit it cuz of their storied history but NYI is a struggling franchise right now too.... whatever, we'll see what happens

I didn't think the Bombers would win another game at this time last year ... and hey we ended up winning 2 more!! I think they'll get a least a couple more

As much as I would love to get Dressler... I'd be happy to see him sign anywhere but Sask... just to see the reaction from the Rider fans...

I second Jon Ryan. That guy was a monster. Never used that term when describing a punter before I have a Jon Ryan #14 Gold jersey (2007 Grey Cup style)... A friend borrowed it a few years ago when he went to a Vikings/Seahawks game and got it signed before the game...

jersey report card IMO: BC = A+ Montreal = A Hammy = B+ Sask = C Tor = D Winnipeg = F- FWIW I would have been ok with a Navy Blue bombers jersey... as long as it incorporated gold and didn't have the bird poop helmet and shoulders...

Hopefully this is the end of Dwight Anderson in the league...

Yes, he has a GF in Winnipeg... I know a family member of her's quite well... No, he does not belong on our football team...

I like Montreal's.... yeah it's basically the Oregon Ducks, but whatever.... There's about 37 different versions of their jersey but this one sums it up.... just change the colours... and like a few have mentioned I also think Calgary's will be great based on the helmet...

Haha exactly what I was thinking.... I drove by there last week and had to do a double-take... that's the best they could do.... do they realize that's the exact point where people are stepping on the gas to get the hell outta T-cona as quickly as possible!

If anything it's the owners that should be upset... it's likely a team with 5-6 wins will host a playoff game while a team with 9-10 wins won't even make the playoffs... You gotta go back a bit but the last time there was an imbalance this ridiculous was 1981... Calgary (W5) had six wins while Ottawa (E2) had 5 and Montreal (E3) had 3..... so it seems like it's an anomaly....

Ameet Pall conversation or not... this thread has been an endless source of entertainment for me this morning!

I thought Kromah looked pretty good last night too... Wild-Kromah-Sears would be nice to see stating at LB... with Sherman rotating in as necessary....

Just looking at Mtl's depth chart... they really are only a QB away from being a good team.... good o-line + Whittaker @ RB + Carter/Green/Stafford at WR could be a good offense with the right QB....

Yeah, actually I can blame Pall, Rids. He was under contract to the Stamps when he left. He was injured but he still quit on the team that drafted him & were paying for his rehab in the hopes of getting him back in the lineup. The only thing I can say is the Stamps were so impressed with Pall they let him go. So, 10 CFL games playing special teams in 3 seasons with just 3 tackles. Buuuuuust. So, just why would we want this guy??? If he was released then he would, in fact , not be under contract... maybe he broke a verbal agreement he had with Calgary but he was certainly within his rights to leave...

Or they selling some parts to buy a new engine(QB). I think another team already got Sask's quality back-up...

much better... I would like it if we took out the stupid gold stripe running down the side... make the sleeve all gold (no white piece) with a white W... then it's perfect...

I can add at least 3 or 4 to that, so we're up to 5 or 6. Gonna be LOUD!!! I know of at least 8-10 people that will be there (including me)... so that guarantees we break the double digit mark

Why does the combo of two horrible ex-bomber QBs make me nervous??

I would but I never think about it.... I just quickly try to find a clean shirt and I'm out the door!

I finally just watched some highlights of the Sask/Mtl game to get a feel for the Riders signature jersey.... their jerseys aren't great either... but at least they look like the Riders

It's tough keeping up with all the Joneses on this team...

You really want to put Mack's record of draft picks against Huff?? Brad Sinopoli, Brander Craighead, Brent Jones, Dmitri Tsoumpas, Jesse Newman, Jon Gott, Eric Fraser, Steve Mydellton, J'Michael Deane, Rob Maver, Karl McCartney, Matt Walter, Anthony Parker, Brad Erdos, Keenan McDougall, Shane Bergman, Pierre Lavertu. Yeah, he muffed it on Pall. Can't win em all. Eric fraser and Steve Myddleton aren't exactly ringing endorsements either Now you're just nit-picking.... Sure Myddleton and Fraser aren't all-stars but they're both serviceable players.... The kind of depth players every team would want... definitely not busts.... but like Iso said, "can't win em all"
