July 7, 201411 yr Not surprising. He has a lot of baggage in Regina, & the way he acted during the game last week was ridiculous.
July 7, 201411 yr Works for both sides, I think. Riders wanted to get rid of him and TO has got to be desperate for some CFL experience in their secondary. But the list of teams that is becoming disenchanted with Anderson is quickly expanding across the entire league.
July 7, 201411 yr Any idea what the conditions are and which draft picks may be involved? Very interesting move on both sides of the deal. Did Regina get tired of Anderson's antics? (What ever happened to the assault charges?) Who's spot does Anderson take in Toronto?
July 7, 201411 yr Not surprising. He has a lot of baggage in Regina, & the way he acted during the game last week was ridiculous. What did he do now? I missed it. I remember last year here in Edmonton he had a real hissy fit - cost his team about 60 yards (in penalties) over something really selfish. He was even arguing with his coaches on the sidelines. We were all laughing at him and cheering him on as the flags kept mounting. He'll fit right in in Toronto lol.

July 7, 201411 yr If it is extra windy in Saskatchewan today, it is the collective exhale from Rider fans who don't have to pretend to like Dwight Anderson anymore.
July 7, 201411 yr Just spit-balling here, but if you are fighting with your team-mates, then this may apply:

(What ever happened to the assault charges?) Who's spot does Anderson take in Toronto? His were dropped, Taj Smith's were not. My guess is he beaked off at everyone in a 3 mile radius and Smith was dumb enough to stick up for him. With Anderson, it's probably a decent guess.
July 7, 201411 yr Burke now has his aging CB that he can rotate to every position in the back 8 and eventually throw under the bus...
July 7, 201411 yr Here's the story but I understand Anderson got into a shouting match on the sidelines Saturday with DE John Chick & had a bad game as well. That isn't mentioned in the story. http://www.thestar.com/sports/argos/2014/07/07/toronto_argos_acquire_former_allstar_dwight_anderson_from_roughriders_in_cfl_trade.html
July 7, 201411 yr Burke now has his aging CB that he can rotate to every position in the back 8 and eventually throw under the bus... If anyone deserves to not only be thrown under a moving bus but then run over, it's Anderson. Total dirt bag.
July 7, 201411 yr Merged with the early thread on Dwight Anderson excellent moderation around here, I must say. You guys are really on the ball.
July 7, 201411 yr another problem-child-project for Pinball. this is kinda our specialty. i think that DA may have some good football still in him and he may (especially a couple of weeks from now in the Rectangle) play like he has something to prove.

July 7, 201411 yr Anderson will probably toe the line for a week or two but he is who he is and that will surface again.
For a conditional 2015 draft pick.
Interesting move.
