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.

DB Mitchell White signed in Montreal yesterday.

If you're ever concerned about this  very thing, check the color of the header of your favorite football discussion board. 

If it's not green and has no Rod Pedersen real estate ads, then you can be sure you're not suffering through the hell-on-earth of the Great Tribulation. 

I've used this in dreams, it totally works.

He did not look good spelling Ray last year. 

I remember Bluto saying that the Trestman offence befuddled Ray during the early parts of last season, so maybe this is no stain on Fajardo, maybe no one but a veteran with their mind right can run the Trestman offence.

Makes sense why they would want a guy like Franklin to come in and back up for a year and learn the offense before becoming the starter.

He needs seasoning for sure and yeah that era was rough in general for them. Hes my ideal type of guy for a no3 spot. Have him do holding on field goals, short yardage and you can use him in an option package. If the no1 qb goes down you dont change any thing on hold/short yardage. If you end up at your no3 qb for any length of time might as well be some one who can run the option and churn out some steady yardage. He may develop into some thing special as a starter. Or he may be bryan bennett with a much better passing acumen. 

Carter's Wpg. court appearance scheduled for today was arraigned till Feb. 28th.

He celebrated by purchasing a puke green Dodge Charger. 

 

 

For those of you just joining us....

1. Rider GM Chris Jones is scrambling to clean his cap situation after some ambitious and generous FA shopping and other signings during his tenure.

2. But Rider fans are standing by their GM for rapidly attempting to build a winner through such spending.

3. Previously Rider fans  stood by Jones praising him for his fiscal restraint  in chopping large salaries and patient team building .

4. This after he replaced and cleaned up after his predecessor Brendan Taman whose ambitious and generous FA shopping and signings was condemned by fans.

5. Previously ,Taman was praised by Rider fans for rapidly building a winner through such spending.

 

Updates as they happen.

So how exactly did he spell Ray?  Wrai maybe Rae

Maybe he has a spellchecker now .  Anyway, he has some good football related skills.  Apparently, no team should hire him as an editor of their press releases though.

Bingo. There’s been some speculation that a few of the major Koolaiders there are actually involved with the club in some capacity. No idea if it’s true or not, but over the past few years, I just know I’ve watched Stronson go from respectable to insufferable. 

That place is just ... different. Most team forums you go to, there’s a small contingent of folks who are deep into the fanboyism but they’re usually drowned out by the majority who operate in realism. That place is the exact opposite. Everything Riders is good. Everything else is bad. No ability to be objective whatsoever.

Feel bad for the few good ones over there ... 

If ever there was a forum that was begging to be Morning Big Blue'd, there it is.

I think a handsome poster typed words to that effect while people were planning Ray's retirement party and succession plan back in the first week of January.

That's a bit unfair. Big physical kid with a good attitude.  Ran the short yardage packages with elan.

Edmonton re-signed Van, after previously doing the same with Gable and White. Are they going to a 3 running back formation?

You can say that with us too - Harris, Flanders & LaFrance. Demski might get some too.

Ol Kavis claiming they didn't over pay for any player..and all players had market value

Well considering Westerman signed for 40k more than the next closest...isn't that over paying?...should they not have just matched...or been "slightly" over
