WPG. Own thread coming soon.

CAL . How much do you tinker if at all? But somethin aint right here

EDM. Lots of room for improvement.  Reilly another year older

SSK. Canadas team has lots of FAs, Carter leaving. Huge question marks at QB

BC. Lots of smoke but less flame than grease fire in MTL. Whole new coaching staff at least

TOR. Turning point to build on or just a nice story like OTT last year?

HAM. Soap opera . Key FAs looming. Collaros. Manziel thing.

OTT.  Trending down

MTL. Grease fire until further notice.

Gotta be a salary dump. The years of having a contending team in the SMS age are coming home to roost now.

Or hes gonna be 35 and his play will likely drop off. 

shows how dumb Carter is as well to try and bring that into the country through the airport....just further confirming his lack of intelligence

He was an all star last year that played his best games late in the season. Why would there be reason to believe he would suddenly be no good.

I have to wonder if he does stupid things on purpose just for the attention. Maybe Daddy neglected him.

Good to see Ambrosie coming down on teams that release players for NFL opportunities.

A gold star to the first commissioner that is able to make teams follow league rules to the tee.  It's preposterous that in a small 9 team league like the CFL the end game  is often to subvert their own rules to gain an advantage over their partners or to try to keep up with half the teams that subvert the rules and hide it.  If they don't want to follow the rules they have in place, agree to adjust the rules to fit the circumstance and the reality of their game.

I can't wait until marijuana is legal, so that we can stop with this needless prohibition.

Carter is an idiot but I hope the case gets tossed and there are no lasting repercussions for him.

I do love the distraction it causes, though.

Pretty sure teams can release players at anytime. It's how the CFL wants the contracts structured.

Can't complain when a team releases a player for their own reasons.

I guarantee even after they make pot legal, it will still be an offence to bring "unauthorized pot" into the country through an airport.

Oh, yeah, the taxman still needs his cut. I get that but he's been charged with possession(?), that will go away.

BREAKING: QB Ricky Ray has agreed to return to Argos on one-year contract: http://bit.ly/2Ecswur  (via @FarhanLaljiTSN)

As per the Duron Carter why they would charge him,  I can't speak for this particular incident.     Sometimes people can be unruly and very disrespectful to the police and at that point they will find anything to charge the jerk off merely to teach them a lesson.   For example if the police pull you over for a routine car check and you are nice and co-operate they will most likely let you go.   If you are a complete ass hat to them and act like you are king ****.... more then likely you will be getting a no seat belt ticket and whatever else they can find.

So much this...I have a lot of law enforcement in my family, and all of this is 100% true...

Saskatchewan Roughriders star receiver Duron Carter faces drug possession charges in two provinces.

Carter, 26, was arrested in Winnipeg on Nov. 25 for possession of a controlled substance. A court spokesperson was unable to reveal what drug Carter allegedly possessed.

This news comes after it was revealed earlier Friday that Carter was arrested in Saskatoon on Thursday and charged with marijuana possession.

Even more proof to what a dolt he is...wonder what that controlled substance was?....multiple charges don't bode well tho...and bringing it across international borders regardless if legal one place or the other is a big no no

The cops in Regina will even give you ride to the edge of town.....

LMFAO! wait, he tried to bring it across the border?! is that not smuggling then, not just possession!?

Correct, it'd be both. He didn't declare the goods (obviously), so both a smuggling a controlled substance and a possession of a controlled substance charges could be enforced.

What an idiot.

Yeah, maybe they didn't have enough evidence to charge both. Likely charged possession first, with the opportunity to file more charges later.

 

I wonder if the Riders release him? I wonder how the CFL head office handles it?

funny how the nov 25th arrest in Winnipeg was kept so under wraps...and no mention of what it was...if something other than pot he may be in a bit of hot water.

God, how I hope this fucks up his 2018 season..........

Wow Ray is back. 

 

The Argos have a great one-two punch at QB now, regardless of who starts.

He's a better Trojan horse. Just let him loose on the Riders and watch the infighting and whatnot.

That's a very good point...at the end of the day, the big picture is that we all want the Riders season to get burned to the ground....and that is better achieved with Carter in the mix....

was just in Hawaii, sporting my Bomber gear whenever possible, and was actually approached a few times by Americans to discuss Canadian football, as they have suddenly heard of the CFL because of Johnny Manziel.  The guy may be a giant ******, but he definitely would probably get a lot of curious US viewers watching the CFL on ESPN.

Why are they busting people for pot when its about to become legal?  if anyone follows San Fran's lead, it just creates work later when they over turn it.

The entire purpose of a police force is to enforce the legislation that is currently in effect, they can't speculate on when, or if marijuana legalization will get punched through. Obviously, legalization is likely going to happen, as it stands right now though, it is illegal.

In football, would you get mad if a referee didn't let a team have their 2nd challenge in a game, because he knew that the next week the CFL was going to announce that each team was limited to one challenge? What if he was pretty sure they were going to change the rule say, 5 months from then?
