Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

Looks like Jason Vega's found a new team:

Good luck to him, he seems like a class guy.

Hecht isn't great but the Riders desperately need Canadian DBs.

Anyone is better than Francis 

Hecht is likely better than Francis but do you want him as your starting safety? Uggh.

Jones needs a win or two now....even though he is really not going anywhere.

What ever happened to Offensive, Defensive, ST, and Canadian player of the week? Now it's just top three regardless of position?

Haven't been paying attention, have you.  They started doing that last season when Shaw started sponsoring it.

BLM on H&L right now. 

He said is going to be fined for his tweets about SK. 

He should went through proper channels.

I would absolutely love it. There are always ass clowns from the gap wearing their rider **** to mcmahon stadium even when the Riders are no where to be seen. 

I maintain that my favourite CFL moment is the 09 Grey Cup. ******* were annoying as **** all day and watching them all instantly be silenced with one simple too many men penalty was glorious. 

Yeah, that was a cherished moment. Only the Riders could lose a game that way. No other team. Losing a championship like that's worse than finishing last.

Hecht is a big upgrade over Francis and they'll still have the worst starting safety in the league.

He should set up an account under Gofundme for crowd funding- he'd get my money.

So the Riders cheat and we fine the whistle blower? BS.

Its an old tradition- Roman generals and emperors had bearers of bad news killed, and whistle-blowers in government and corporations almost invariably get turfed or leave due to frostbite.

It's a goddamn conspiracy against Mitchell

I'm not sure he is. He was getting torched badly before he was sat down and appears to have lost a step.

if you are rolling out Hecht into your starting lineup because he is better than what you already have you are in deep, deep Can-Con trouble.

I guess they threw him in just for the Hecht of it...

I'll show myself out....

Team number? I've lost track ...

The Kevin Glenn of running backs.

Would not be surprised if he gets a shot in Regina.

Not surprising....big contract and poor performance.

Wasn't signing his contract the reason Popp had to purge Muamba?

yeah I believe so. But he's been very underwhelming. They showed one play that focused on him last week I think it was and he was very clearly gassed in the first half of the game. He barely even tried on the play. I'm honestly shocked it took this long.

I wouldn't want to guess the age of a user named Arnold Palmer but I think that is probably in the range of age where 20 years ago is easier to remember than last year. I remember 55 - 10 like it was yesterday.
