I am kinda scared. Stronson has it on good authority from his multitude of inside sources that Lapo is going to quit and take a year off, he is so mad. We all know that Stronson is not a fan forum member, he is a super secret CFL spy that knows everything going on behind the scenes of every club. I totally agree with your take. January 20 is way too late in the game for teams to be replacing coordinators without weakening themselves greatly. Not sure why the Rider fans feel the Bombers are obligated to let Lapo possibly go at this stage of the game. Just because Craig Reynolds was too stupid to put a drop dead date on Jones leaving doesn't mean we have to be equally as dumb.

Well done KW and Dayna Spiring. well done.

Wellington Altus is owned by the husband of our BOD vice chairperson Dayna Spiring....so not as off base as you are making it sound. But it ain't cheating so screw em all.

Toronto may be a joke attendance wise but the GTA provides very solid CFL viewership numbers to TSN and is a big reason the rest of the CFL has the TV deal it does. Don't be fooled by attendance. People like the Argos and watch them in Toronto, you just won't get them to go to a game because their game day experience has been complete garbage for a long time.

There is absolutely zero truth to the rumor that Bighill was at the Canucks game with Wally and Hervey. That would be tampering. Hervey and Wally are not idiots, they would not sit front row of a broadcasted Canucks game with a player that is under contract to another team. I can't believe any of you fell for what is quite obviously a troll job.

Not a fan of Nik Lewis's personality, but I sure loved watching a pot bellied receiver still balling out there. Reminds me of me, and my friends, playing oldtimer beer league hockey when every once in a while us old pot bellied pork rind eaters would use our smarts and beat down some young bucks. Puts a little air in your step after.

The Riders will miss Murphy. Yea...he's a bit over rated but he beats the crap out of O'Daisy at scouting.

He is....and this is a big loss for the Riders. Not only for his scouting but for the amount of GM work he was doing also. Jones, already sliced way too thin, now has to find a way to get the work done that he had Murphy doing.

I guess the Argos are in the business of flying people to town, interviewing them, probably wining and dining them just for shits and giggles. Who knew?

BC could only hope their FA is as good as the speculation. Reilly, Bighill, Loffler, Chungh....they apparently have the inside track on everyone.

Same argument they've been making all year about Collaros. "If he ever catches the lightning in the bottle that has shown up 3 times in the last 3 years he is unstoppable". It's a ridiculously stupid argument to make. They are suggesting that because he played on good game against a disinterested Calgary team a month ago that he is suddenly a good QB. The guy was the worst starter in the CFL this year.... We didn't win because Collaros wasn't playing, we won because our OL and Andrew Harris rammed it up their poop shoots the entire 2nd half. Whether it be Bridge or Collaros you have to have the ball to win. Our offence ran the table in the 2nd half and gave almost no opportunity to their offence.

Been there twice. Feels like you're sitting a million miles away in the stands compared to IGF. Just saps the energy imo. Concessions are much better at Mosaic, but IGF is a MUCH better venue to watch a football game. Only problem with Mosaic is they don't have any good beer and you feel like you're watching through binos from the parking lot. Seats are very narrow too. They also have similar rapid transit problems to IGF.

Yea...but it also sounds like it's not that serious. I would bet he will play.

Ok...so at this point it's just Wyman tweeting heresay then.

Who saw him in a walking boot?

Don't even bother looking at them. What those stats don't tell is how many times there was a 6 point difference between 1st and 4th. The overwhelming majority of these statistics were compiled when the third place team was sub.500 and there were juggernauts like the Eskimos, Bombers,and Alouettes over the past 40 years. The playing field is wide open over the past few years in comparison since the SMS came in.

You are not beloved over there? Say it isn't so. All they wanna do is talk football. You didn't break forum rule number 3 and suggest that the Riders are not the ultimate sports franchise in the history of modern sport did you?

Your buddy is part of the problem now too.

What's your point? The Riders are bringing Lancaster in with their time machine?

The advantage to the Riders LBer corps because they rotate more mediocre players through during the game? It makes zero sense. Let's just discount MOP level play from Bighill, all star level play from Santos Knox and give the edge to a Rider LBer crew anchored by Sam Hurl with a couple of hobos beside him. Literally the stupidest thing I have read and just kills the credibility of an otherwise good break down. Bombers LBer crew is vastly superior to the Riders....it isn't even comparable. I am gobsmacked that a professional CFL journalist would even think they were comparable let alone superior to ours.

I agree. However, it is unfortunate that they didn't move the Riders to Saskatoon and get it out of the butt hole that is Regina. Saskatoon is an infinitely nicer city.

Thank you for the glory hole report. Was he out there throwing darts?

Are you related to the Blacksmith's?

With the exception of Zac Collaros post 2015 of course.

They ban you for respectfully talking football, even though your opinion was unpopular and you were semi trolling at times, but keep a knob like Gbill who is schizo and throws a tantrum anytime anyone disagrees with him. Makes no sense.
