Rules around Content
I have a couple of questions for the Mods. This is not criticism, but honest questioning. I'm sure this has come up in the past, but I'd like it if someone could give me the rationale for editing certain language out of thread responses. Is it simply because we are a family site? Are we required to monitor language in order to maintain this status? Are specific words automatically replaced by asterisks or is this done manually? If automatic; how is it that some sneak through? (I read a post with an F-bomb embedded the other day. It was refreshing). In my world, specific language is much less horrifying than some of the inflammatory or hairbrained ideas that many of us come up with. (My Willy for Durant trade thread, for example). Besides, I'm tired of trying to act like Alan Turing in order to decipher what 17 to 85 is saying, by counting the asterisks and replacing them with letters.

Rod Pedersen @rodpedersen New Rider DT Khalif Mitchell feels he can play Sunday in LDC. Says he's been farming, far harder than football. 3:08 PM - 31 Aug 2016 -Here you go Rider marketing department: "Farming, far harder than football" would be flying off the shelves in Sasky if printed on XXL women's t-shirts, combine bumper stickers, and dripping melon helmets. Billboards near all Orthodontics clinics should also be emblazoned.

Travis Bond comes from a long line of football player/actors. Here's Rosey Grier and Ray Milland (as Joe Mack) in a classic.

3 stars plus HH
4. Best Performance in a Supporting Role Travis Bond - His performance as a diving Cristiano Ronaldo against John Bowman to gain the first of two penalties was beautiful. By extension, it may even result in Bowman getting fined by the league for referee criticism...Take a bow Travis.

Back From Bye: Week 10 vs Montreal
Also at today's practice, Darvin Adams was no longer wearing a sling on his left arm. He did seem to be protecting it a bit, but showed no sign of discomfort when he was hucking twenty yard passes with his right arm, to #12 & #7.

McDuffie looked anything but useless at today's practice. The most noticeable drop was by Denmark. Now that's a guy who is useless!

Stock Market Report: Bombers vs. Argonauts
Like it or leave it, the writer provides fairly in-depth rationale for his decisions. There aren't too many that do. Also, it's the first time I've read an actual assessment of Foketi's play. I paid little attention to him during the game and thought that because we ran the ball well and gave up no sacks that he must have been decent. I think that generally, this is a good read.

Willy for Durant?
The crux of this trade proposal is not about who is your most resilient player. it's that it only needs to last for the remainder of this year. Either QB could be traded/cut/ or restructured at year end. Who would you rather have as your relief guy for a championship run in 2016...Durant or Willy?

Willy for Durant?
I think that both sides could have some degree of motivation to make this deal. Sasky needs to show their fanbase that they aren't sitting with the status quo, because the status quo clearly isn't good enough. Maybe the fairytale begins anew with Willy's return to the bald prairie? As to the BB; think how close we currently are to being a championship team (I don't believe we are there)?...Now imagine having a revitalized DD behind centre for a playoff run (if/when Nichols goes down). Even as a relief pitcher he could have value, because at this point, Willy doesn't inspire optimism.

Throw in Neufeld to offset the salary and to provide DW that much needed protection he will require in Sasky.- Willy for Durant?
Plenty of pros and cons to this discussion Injury history (both), playoff experience, age, current contract, history with Lapo, etc.- Riders fined another 5 grand
Love that Pederson is being called out in this article. He's a Rider sychophant who runs the Sasky masses into a lather with his bizarro-world conspiracy claims. If only H & L would use some other Regina media person than him for their corn fed interviews. He's a transparent shill who would do well to remove the straw from his teeth before he makes any future unfounded accusations- Is It Real?

# 14 Duff McKagan listed as KR/PR on today's depth chart.... November Rain in August for the Argos!- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
I'm looking forward to today's Rider post-practice report. If there is a noticeable decrease in the number of players on the field from 2 days ago, then Jones' claim that he was doing no wrong won't fly. The ongoing "tryouts" argument will spring holes very quickly.- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
There will be no sanctions against the Riders but their paralympic team will be banned from playing.- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
Scott Mitchell further states that his sources have told him that the Riders have two houses where these types of players are being housed.
