But they cut him 😲 so really they only have seven players on the list. Can the Riders even count 7? Carter is #8 on the list as a WR, has he taken any offense snaps in the preseason? I'm pretty sure he's not on the top 50 list if he plays DB all season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I think his ranking is a bit high regardless of what or where he plays...he is way overhyped for what he provides...and the threats of problems he can...and has caused The Classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 TSN has decided that they need some "personalities" among players to sell the league, plus this lets them kiss the asses of Rider fans which they inexplicably seem to think they need to do. TSN has really gone downhill the last decade, just full on over hyping nonsense. WildPath and The Classic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drama sells, so look to the CFL's reigning drama queen, Darian Durant to be on a TSN panel in the near future, followed by Kavis once he gets fired.

I spend a lot more time being critical of Jones than I do defending him. In this case it was reported that negotiations broke down with Chick and Dressler's agents, no trade could be made and they were released. Believe what you want, doesn't change anything. If you feel better about Dressler being on your team by believing we didn't offer him a contract, great. We have a awesome receiving core, we haven't missed him.

I am not his biggest fan. I want to win the cup. I expect him to do that or we will fire him. I don't live with him or have anything to do with him, so me trusting him or not trusting him is not relevant to whether or not he can deliver a cup to Regina. I didn't trust Taman either, but he got the job done so I am grateful to him for that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) spotted on mbb twitter feed " Quote Fast forward to 2018 and Partipilo is now part of Rider Nation; he’s entering his first CFL season as the Roughriders’ chief brand officer. “My goals and ambitions are to continue to raise the bar for this organization,” says Partipilo, who was born and raised in the Greater Toronto Area. “I believe it’s on a very solid foundation. It has a lot of highly intelligent, capable and passionate people who work here. It has an incredibly strong, solid fan base. All of that bodes well for the solid foundation you want to build for a team that would have national resonance and international respect. “I want to show the world this team.” Edited June 12, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to either is like choosing between a kick to the junk or a punch to the junk; both are equally lousy and painful. However, at least Suitor has solid knowledge and insight on the game. Black is just an all-around nuisance who spends more time babbling like an idiot and coming up with some of the dumbest nick names ever.
