Post one off topics and discussion for the league here.

Meh the Messam thing is dumb but not nearly as bad as what some of the other guys on the team have been accused of.   

I don't see it as a big loss because he's done nothing at all for them. 

But they need to field another Canadian on the roster to replace him..of which they have little of at any position that would provide any use

But he hasn't been their starting RB all year, just a rotation RB.

They could dress another reciever or linebacker. 

It's really  not that hard for them? 

Yeah..but he was a player on the roster tho..now they need to replace the roster spot...and have no real useful canadians in reserve..

At the end of the day it isn't that big of a loss for the riders. But it still makes their depth a bit worse. Which is a great way to start the week!!

So, in regards to film room study, did Messam and the rest of the team, each have their own rooms?

Isn't drug possession also a Criminal Code offence...?  Guess it just depends on the crime whether you get released or not

Remember this?

When CFL fans awake from their winter hibernation, they'll discover the Rider roster has been fortified with CFL stars Zach Collaros, Jerome Messam, Travis Bond, Charleston Hughes, Zack Evans and John Ojo. Forgive me for saying, but it reminds me a bit of 2013.

Messam, Bond, Ojo... Oh, they gone.

Not exactly what you want to hear about your star QB..

 

 

idiot.

Not a very good secret if you watched their pre-season game.

Riders sounding like they got Duranted...

Juicy contract for a QB who probably won't play another season - doubling up a concussion is about the dumbest thing you can do.

I would use the term "stars" very loosely when it comes to those guys. Typical Rod "fanboy" Pedersen having a pre-season homergasm.

It's not about criminal offences, it's about violence against women.  The league has taken a big stand on that, so they take any situation related to that very seriously.

About time. Makes sense with the Young signing.

Not gonna lie: I was really hoping to see Jonesy plug Carter into the LB corps.

I wouldn't call him an idiot more like a competitor who didn't think things threw and now he probably is going to pay for it.

Totally agree with that cause.... but this is also the team that signed Trent Richardson...  and still have him under contract

Ugh I was looking forward to him yapping and possibly having a hockey type skirmish with Duke Williams goin mono e mono in coverage.

Young is not very good.....and somebody has to get the ball to Carter

The need to be air lifting in DBs, and not the old decrepit type.

The Riders may put Messam in charge of their video replays.

Wait.  You can't do that?  I assume he showed it to people.  Isn't Canada a one-party consent law?  Maybe different for audio vs video.  Either way its sleazy to video tape without consent.  But I think there is a better solution than criminal court.  Unless he extorted her or showed it to people...tban that sucks.

Yes I would agree.  A drug offences is a "hurt yourself" crime whereas this obviously has negative ramifications for the other party.
