Anything to make the Riders weaker would be great

Best phrasing for that grotesque acronym.

Trump Is Fantasizing About a $2 Billion Presidential Library and Museum in Florida: WaPo President Donald Trump is telling his supporters and donors he wants to collect $2 billion for a presidential library and museum in Florida, The Washington Post reports. He envisions it run by his social media director Dan Scavino, who formerly served as Trump’s social media director but more recently worked as his deputy chief of staff. Such a sum would far exceed the cost of other presidential libraries, but Trump reportedly believes he can raise it via small-dollar donations from a grassroots campaign among supporters. Former Trump associates believe it will be difficult for him to raise the money in the wake of the scandal over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. “I thought to myself, what is this alternative fantasy life you’re living? I have no clue where they think they’ll get this money raised. Anyone who gives to him will be radioactive,” an unnamed fundraiser told the Post of the plans. The commander in chief plans to leave Washington, D.C. for his new permanent residence in Florida before Joe Biden’s inauguration, which he does not plan to attend.

Right now Rider fans are claiming that the media is just making up crap and that Hughes is awesome bla bla bla... I guarantee that if he were to sign somewhere else they would instantly change tune and suggest that he's over the hill and washed up.

wait till diaper don is out, then drop it on him. yikes. trump moving to saudi.

That's a shame. I remember playing his music when I was in Dauphin. I don't know how many people know, but Manitoba has a truly incredible First Nations music scene right now. I think a lot of people are discovering William Prince (finally!), but Don Amero, Desiree Dorion, and Jade Turner are a few of my favourites right now and I know there's a ton more coming up the ranks. It's impressive.

Lawler was our leading receiver last year. He's got 1000 yards written all over him now that he's an established player. I'd hate to lose him after two years of development.

All of Walters hard work has me like

I would bet so, if the Winnipeg numbers continue to fall and stay down.

No, regardless of how classless a player is, you don't do something like that. Then you're just wallowing in the muck with them in terms of giving and getting respect. What you do is congratulate his next fumble, drop, missed block or other ineptitude. These are the same guys that planned the Hamilton Grey Cup parade with the whole "best Hamilton team ever/ best offense ever" etc. etc. etc., right?

It’s the North that is out of control. Rest of province seems to have things under control.

Michael Vick wasn't worth saving. His participation in pitbull fighting and his treatment of his dogs is unconscionable.

Trump Allies Pocket Thousands to Lobby for Presidential Pardons: Report -Reuters A sleazy cottage industry of cash for lobbying for pardons is lining the pockets of several Donald Trump associates, according to a new report by The New York Times. Trump allies are “collecting fees from wealthy felons or their associates to push the White House for clemency,” according to documents seen and interviews conducted by the Times. One source said that former Trump lawyer John Dowd has “marketed himself” to convicted felons as someone with Trump’s ear. Another source said that a former adviser was paid $50,000 cash to try to gain a pardon for former CIA agent John Kiriakou, who was convicted of illegally disclosing classified information. A $50,000 cash bonus was reportedly in the cards if Trump comes through. Trump Allies Pocket Thousands to Lobby for Presidential Pardons: Report (thedailybeast.com)

Maybe. But he's not known to do that. I mean it's been a year without football.. Harris isn't a 25 yr old anymore.. I dunno.. could see him wanting more money for sure. But regardless. Irrelevant now since he did sign.

So like every other fan base out there.

I was going to post this in General Discussion but I want as many members to see it & respond. I want to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year to everyone here. It's been a tough 2020 for all of us & our favourite sports teams. Let's hope 2021 is a lot better for all of us!!

The Ravens are setting the passing game back 50 years. How can a guy that can't throw be the NFL MVP? Ravens are ugly offensively.

I'm worried the Argos will steal Speller. I think it helps the older players to heal the injuries & work on being stronger. Someone like Andrew Harris for example. He'll be fresh.

Rogers struggled at times. He would miss an entire week of practice but Dickenson would insert him in the lineup last minute. He's never been 100% as a player since he was injured & came back. He's had a lot of "maintenance days" with the Stamps where he wouldn't even be at practice as he stayed home resting. He's older, Now he's missed an entire season. As a guy who suffered a similar injury to Rogers years ago & had a knee replacement in 2019, I know that these type of bad knee injures never get better with rest. They get worse with age as the knee joint deteriorates & arthritis sets in. He may feel fine now with time off but the daily pounding of practice & games eventually takes its toll. An 18 game season is a long process. Plus he's one bad tackle or hit from being finished as a player. He was a phenomenal receiver & may have still been playing with the Niners still had he not been injured. He's not the same player he was a few years ago. So, should he get a huge CFL salary in these financially unsure days? Any team that pays him will be taking on a big risk. John Hufnagel is very good at knowing when it's time to replace aging & expensive veterans. When it's time to go. We'll see if that happens.

EDIT: my mistake, apparently this was a private contractor for the inauguration that had outdated credentials.

Not a lot of holes to fill, only 4 (projected) starter spots remains vacant as of the moment RG - still waiting for Neufeld or Speller; Gray and Eli (and a draft pick) may have the opportunity SB - Lawler is a free-agent and maybe looking for other opportunities elsewhere. We also have lots of receivers on the roster. Rogers and Ellingson will be available in free-agency though DT - still waiting for Richardson; there are new guys on the roster. how 'bout a free-agent DT? Boundary HB - Sayles moved on so do we. Who we got from our new guys? or are we waiting for a veteran DB in free-agency?

Kind of annoying that there is such a long break between games.

Didn’t miss the 1st. Just don’t base my entire perception of a player off of 20 minutes.

Not true, he had a pretty nice touchdown pass to Winston Rose last year for the Bombers at home.

Dominique Davis re-signs in Ottawa...

Ya TSN3 is blacked out for Jets games outside of Sask/MB/Kenora area...
