rebusrankin Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Is there an unwritten role that the Riders need to sign a certain number of douchebags or does living there turn one into a douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stench and attitude and lack of character and class permeates through there in a bad way...gonna take a complete over haul to cleanse of it CD doesn't help matters as it's pretty apparent he doesn't have much control over a lot of what goes on there...and doesn't have what OSh ..Walters and Miller have to install such a culture...not yet anyway...I would think this their last chance... especially O'Day as he has done nothing to address their glaring weaknesses....and the fact it's plural is not a good thing....also haven't created a environment where guys wanna stay there...and for less....and don't let them kid themselves that Duke did...he only did because he was smart enough to not take the dumb deal Lawler did....it wasn't cause he wanted to be there more..

Makes sense seeing at its an island and only so much space available. My dad + stepmom sold their house 2 years ago. They had lived there for about 8 years and made like $250K on it over that time. They then bought a townhouse after selling there home and an identical model just sold a few months ago across the street from them for $200K more than they had paid for theres. Pretty good 2 year growth lol. Jesus. Now I'm going to shock you a bit.....I live in the old city quarter in Nanaimo.....bought the house for 250,000 20 yrs. ago....had a guy putting a letter in my mailbox the other day saying he'd buy our house for 800K ....no commission and they'd pay the legal fees.....That's what I call a good investment.....oh and I'm not selling😉 Bubba Zanetti and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True.....a middle aged woman from Van. did exactly that ...bought a character house on our corner with a double lot....She fixed up the one she bought, so that it's now worth over a million, and built a new character style house on the lot next to her ....Doubled her money....smart lady.... As far as a Family Dr. is concerned....if you didn't have one when you first moved here...you're out of luck....Ours just retired and we were told by the clinic that we better register with his replacement or start going to a general clinic........Getting crowded for sure Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbbfan Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 So the usfl drafted a db under contract with the stamps. They claim to have rectified this after the fact. But now the db is mad at the Stamps for not letting him go. The usfl has put the cfl in a position where they need to take action. The db is under contract to think he should also be eligible for usfl draft is idiotic. rebusrankin and Stickem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed with the Stamps on Feb 1st and less than two weeks later he wants them to release him and he's calling them unprofessional? He's talking about professionalism and business on twitter but nobody forced him to sign a contract when it was well known the USFL was coming back. If he had an interest in that, he could have avoided this whole thing by not signing with Calgary until he knew more about what the USFL was offering.

WHY? WHY???" crying is so childish. Ottawa, BC & Edmonton drove up salaries & then they ***** & complain??? Reminds me of a punk who carries thinking he's the biggest & baddest dude out there until he meets someone who is bigger & badder than him and calls him out. Burke just thought throwing $$$ at players would solve everything until another team did the same thing. As much as I hate Chris Jones, if it ended up coating Burke more money than he wanted to pay then that's good. The people that run this league..... What a joke. One more thing. the RedBlacks have the worst HC & OC in the CFL. I don't care how good Massoli plays, he'll have the yoke of Paul LaPolice around his neck on every play holding him back. Can't squander a ten point lead in the second half. Edited February 27, 2022 by SpeedFlex27 TrueBlue4ever and rebusrankin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
