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

What time do the bars open in Manitoba?

Inside tip:

There's a great sports bar called the Mclaren Htl. on Main & Rupert. It used to open to a decent crowd at 0900.

They've always been very welcoming to visitors.

Stamps DL Quinn Smith takes responsibility. "I am sorry to have failed a drug test...This is my mistake and no one else’s." Refreshing. #CFL

Way to go Quinn.  Making the league punish you completely ruins the conspiracy theory that only goes after the Riders.

until the first time he plays, craps the bed, and then you will be screaming to trade him too.

No.

Not to mention the fact of his choice of words. Sorry to have failed the test? Translation: I wish I had cheated better?

Seriously speaking, I hope he kicks the habit and becomes a role model for younger football players aspiring to be pro. 

If he kicks his habit then he become what as a football player? probably nothing as being juiced got him to where is he now in the CFL. But that was dirty & not clean. Maybe all he really is, is a third string backup. There's a reason why he never stopped juicing & I'll speculate by saying it's because he knows that clean he'll never be good enough to stick around & play in the CFL. He cheated before the Combine & put up eye popping stats. Then he was discovered after the combine he cheated. Still, the CFL rewarded his cheating by drafting him. Now he's caught again. The only role model he is, is that of a cheater & a liar. Someone kids should look up to & say,"No thanks".

And watch "Rat Patrol" without turning on the TV.

Apparently Duron Carter is working his magic again, according to 3Downnation.  He was apparently at odds with Higgins and Popp chose to keep Carter over Higgins, but even when Carter went to the NFL his attitude was one of the main reasons he did not stick there. Now, he seems to have alienated most of his team and has become a distraction to the point where it has nearly resulted in a fist-fight. Popp is truly screwed here- he cannot trade Carter and if he does not cut or suspend Carter, Popp will lose whatever respect the team has for their coach/GM. The Alouettes have become the free space on the CFL bingo card.

His father Chris Carter was such a classy player. He mentored Randy Moss when he was an impressionable young player. Was great with fans & the media. He needs to have a strong chat with his son to get him reigned in.

When i envision a "entitled spoiled brat child of a superstar athlete" Duron is like the poster child.  What a waste of god given talents.  I read of few of his tweets and am now convinced his sure handed receiver father had one big drop and dumped Duron on his head as a child, leaving him with the IQ of a potato.  His only chance to play next year is Chris Jones or arena football.  But he can at least enjoy the heel role he keeps bragging about, must be a defence mechanism for not being able to live up to anything remotely close to his dad.       

His dad was the guy who also told rookies at an NFL Rookie session a few years back that you always need a fall guy in your posse. Maybe Duron is more like Daddy then you think.

Ol' Reliable Kevin Glenn is probably available if Popp decides to go with Cato & Adams. I could see Glenn in an Argos uniform. I mean, why not?

Because Glen wants to go to Edmonton.

Bed bugs were seen walking off with a bed there not long ago... between them and the rats and the rubies ...fine lodgings..

Oh my! Redblacks investigated for roster vialation according to Lawless. Where does that leave the Riders conspiracy theory?

guy on the 6-game practiced with a practice player, whatever, not remotely on the same level as paying and housing 30 pre practice players and cheating with the non-import rules

Please Orridge, refs, allow the Riders to win again.

I cant stand the league bias, sucking and being unwatchable for much longer.

Listen, if he punches all the spots on the royalty card, he gets his next cup of coffee free. That just makes business sense.

What took them? I kinda thought Castillo would end up in Regina, but Jones' judgment is still flawless.

Great pickup by the RBs. I think Jones dropped the ball here. Sergio was great but it's hard to keep him and Medlock on the same roster.
