So, looking ahead....what's our off season going to look like? Coaches and GM all still under contract, right? Players? Who's going to the NFL? Who do we think might bolt in FA? Pieces that we'd like to see the WBB pick up in FA?

If you need more proof, Derek Taylor used "mollywhopped" during his show this week.

Hi, DT. I actually think you are a good guy, but you have been told that your opinion needs to fit the mandate. 

I guarantee you that he reads this site.

I really hope he doesn't. Like really, who cares what the fans (and not even your own) think? Your crowd cheers you, enjoy that, but we're just hacks (with some exceptions). 

Hahaha, you're a beauty, @Booch. 😆

Rod Pedersen basically admitted he was playing the role that comes with the job if I recall correctly.

in fairness, the Molly Whopped thing started with Milt on the TSN panel, then I think I started using it after that, and it sorta caught on with a few of us......so DT *MAY* have got it from Milt...

I meant CF. For the media, it makes sense because they can't keep up on everything and even random fans pick up stuff.

I can honestly tell you I did not know any of that, but fair enough 😄

Ahh I see.

Agreed

Like this ****...this is from the Riders to put the message out there.

Then I would direct Mr. Bailey to the laudatory comments I made about him the other day....

I remember Khari's Dad on ourbombers. Classy man and great poster.

Sanford Samuels posted on OB, did he not? Feel like I posted something that pissed him off.

Robert bean and his wife posted on ourbombers too

hey jamie nye, brendan mcguire, and luc mullinder: you're all absolutely brutal homers.

You forgot to tag Suitor. 

Ryland Wickman's dad did as well I believe.

I am also positive Benefield did.

Wah55... good dude, who is responsible for Charlie Roberts becoming a Bomber. Should have had Frito, as well, but narrowly missed on that. He (Wah) was Taman's connection at Sac State...

Can't forget chuckdiesel1 and MikeSellers, who both popped on here and there.... but Kamau and Stanford Samuels (SammySam) were the most active during those times. It was directly because of that, that The Extra Point came into existence. They didn't want their players going on this random fansite....wanted something that was directly run/moderated by the team.

Oakman and Alford are worlds better than any rider. I'd take oakman in my sleep. Don't care who is on the roster or where he plays. You take that guy with out question. 

Oakman and stove would be the best dt tandem in the league in the last 2 decades. I'm a huge Jeffcoat fan but between the two I'd take Oakman at the same money.

Plops wife though idk if that was confirmed. But another player wife was on here and had a real meltdown too. 

 A few pr guys as well. Hugh Smith a tiny wr with insane speed and no hands.

Too bad I bet willy would be fantastic on here. He's kinda like the modern rod hill.

Funny. I have a game worn (or likely a practice worn) Hugh Smith jersey I got in a huge lot of jerseys from a friend of mine. Had no idea who he was. 

Had to share this from Riderfans: 

I disagree on the receivers. All things being equal and healthy, I don't think Lawler is a number one or two on the Riders. KSB/Lenius are very competitive with Demski/Wolitarski.
 

There was a training camp QB who had an ... uncle? ... on here ... IIRC the QB made a splash in a preseason game and was very briefly the next big thing, but I think he got cut...wish I could remember his name.  I think this was early in the Canadian Mafia era...

Edit: Justin Holland.  It was his dad, not his uncle.  That was in freaking 2007.  Fourteen years ago.  good lord I'm old.

Robert Bean's wife was on here for awhile too, until we started trashing him, and then she got pretty nasty.

I used to chat with Khari's Dad on facebook years ago. Khari knew I was as well. He told me Khari's story. He was a very nice man. We had some interesting discussions as I recall.

And they wonder why they've only won 4 Grey Cups... Lol. 

Let the riders be happy with their roster.  It's all smoke and mirrors and will be imploding into itself at any moment. Joke of a franchise.

It's no surprise media types lurk here, I have heard suitor repeat things posted here almost verbatim during broadcasts.

A rational Rider fan??? I almost fell off my chair! From CFL.CA regarding the All-Star selections:

Even as a Rider fan, I can honestly say the Riders grossly over-achieved this season. They really didn't deserve to win as many games as they did. It stings that none of them cracked the All-Star roster but frankly, I don't know if any of them deserved it more than the ones who did make it.

I’ve always had the impression Khari was a good guy. Hearing that his Pa was a good guy strengthens that opinion. That’s a nice story.

Khari coached young qbs in Calgary at a Multi Sports training facility for a couple of years after he retired. He told me then that he wanted to be absolutely certain he didn't want to play anymore before he would pursue coaching opportunities. He did want to coach at the NCAA or CFL level & he was just biding his time. Meanwhile, my son learned from him as a high school qb. He was a great guy. Most former pros are btw.

WOW! He had best start planning what to do with the pending load of manure coming his way.

So we are just going to ignore the tweet that DT put out later that said he had no riders on his all star ballot ? He is just simply stating facts in this tweet and everyone here seems to be the one getting upset.

I believe that qb was robert marve.
