Re: 2016 Training Camp Thread

There has been recently, what seems in my mind, an inordinate amount of retirements across the league. Hawkins and Collie in BC, Picard and Coleman in Montreal, Boulay, Corby and Robinson in Edmonton, Brown in Toronto, Henderson, Hefney, Reese and Jernigan in Winnipeg, Johnson in Saskatchewan and Du...

Re: 2016 Training Camp Thread

The offence also had no success running the football, no matter which RB or which unit was on the field on offence or defence. The offensive line just got no push. Anthony Allen averaged 6.2 yards a carry last year on a 3-15 team in Saskatchewan but neither he nor any other RB could get more than a...

Re: Roughriders pick up a stud LB

He seems to have his sights squarely and firmly fixed on the NFL in 2017....kinda mercenary.

Re: CFL Draft 2016, May 10, 4pm PT

With Hardaway representing Thompson, it isn't a stretch to think Thompson was holding out. Apparently some managers will avoid drafting Hardaway clients in order to not have the associated drama. First pick overall Josiah St. John has requested a trade from the Riders as negotiations have reached a...

Anyone have any insight into the Chargers o-line? Will he be hard pressed to stick in San Diego?

Re: Uniform Poll Question - Reebok or Adidas?

Well, I have decided that the only way I am going to get a jersey I truly want is to make one myself! I would kill to get one of the 1970-71 jerseys with the black torso, arms and the 9 red stripes on the sleeves. But the only one I have seen (other than on trading cards) is the one David owns and p...

Re: Regina sports journalist tries to break Internet.

Well the 2 guys the Riders did add are no slouches. Greg Jones was an East All Star and team MODP candidate for year with the Argos. Otha Foster had 57 tackles at WIL with Edmonton. They have significantly improved there LB corps. I thought Jones was amongst that recent spate of retirees? I saw Fos...

Re: Regina sports journalist tries to break Internet.

Maybe they do (although probably not). Nobody knew who Derek Wake was, either. Yes, that is true that DC Wake was pretty much an unknown quantity but for the Roughies to uncover 2 diamonds in the rough (to play along Knox) who can be MODP candidates is pretty much a longshot at best. Maybe we could...

Re: CFL Draft 2016, May 10, 4pm PT

They just might a team the Leos could leap frog in the standings. This statement sounds like you may have pegged BC to be in last place or way down in the standings. Is this not presumptive ? If so, why would you have this opinion ? The way I see it both the Esks and Riders have more reason at this...

Re: CFL Draft 2016, May 10, 4pm PT

Justin Dunk, he of the "Mock Draft"', rated the Lions as the winners of this year's draft. He rates all the teams over at 3downNation.com. http://wp.me/p65Ld4-4bZ I thought it rather interesting he rated the Eskimos as having the worst draft, having only 6 picks and using 2 of them on guy...

Has anyone heard if there is going to be a Fanfest in Vancouver? I have seen the one for Kamloops listed but unless my brain still hasn't recovered from learning the Roughies have the best linebacking corps in the league ( :tp: :tp: :tp: :tp: see thread "Regina sports journalist tries to break ...

Regina sports journalist tries to break Internet.

When I saw the following tweet, I shook my head so hard I gave myself a concussion. "#Riders might have the league’s leading trio at linebacker heading into training camp. - @murraylp #CFL via @leaderpost" So it would appear the Green Kool-Aid is already being passed around the newsroom of...
