Maybe so, but there are people who are very good are their jobs as subordinates with close supervision and/or clear rules but horrible when promoted into positions where they have to show independent thinking.

Imminent signing for the Riders.....

Esks and Riders are equally desperate, but the Esks probably have the cap room that the Riders no longer have. Besides, how would it look if the riders threw a urine receptacle of money at Martin, considering the mess they are in?

By the time the "news'" got to BLM, it was surely common knowledge throughout the league- management, coaches and players alike. As was mentioned before, Mitchell's sin was embarrassing the league while the investigation was already started and ongoing. I do not think we have heard the last of this and the Riders will be faced with two equally distasteful choices: either fire Jones and have to keep on paying him (unless he is fired for cause) or having him continue as a subject of ridicule and it is pretty much guaranteed Jones will publicly detonate at some point. And we thought Kelly/Mack/Burke were bad.

Might be good trade bait though- for Demski?

I don't think all humans are built that way. There are plenty of pro athletes who sucked with one team and shone with the next.

The screw-ups in Riderville are so monumental that it reflects very, very poorly on the Rider BOD as well as the coaching/GM roles. The board is locked into their position and Jones, so there is no way they will say anything publicly. There is NO "plan B"- Jones is it for at least the season. And the season is not even half over.

Vaughn Martin has enough potential and talent that I would bring him in for a look-see with the Bombers. If there is as much behind the scenes crap going on with the Als as has been hinted at, he may not have given it his best shot there.

Heresy has been committed. Dire events to follow.

Maybe Jones' presence and attitude?

Heck, the difference is just one trip to Golden Corral.

Its an old tradition- Roman generals and emperors had bearers of bad news killed, and whistle-blowers in government and corporations almost invariably get turfed or leave due to frostbite.

You're just Messam with us.

He should set up an account under Gofundme for crowd funding- he'd get my money.

Why should he have to do it alone? Or look for seafood?

That's racist.

It would be only fitting. A note of caution, though- in the loss to the Stamps, Durant looked pretty capable, maybe even better than BLM. Durant was victimized by his receivers and his O-line was not good at all that game.

Bilikudi is an instant NI starter and star- even better, he wants to play in Ottawa. He is definitely worth a first-round choice or he sits.

We have Ian Wild. Can't expect any better than him.

I don't think we can overestimate the value of playing some teams on the limp and beating them. Often the difference between winning and losing close games is plain old confidence. If nothing else, it is a dress rehearsal for the tough games.

And there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Take a first round pick, but only after trying really hard to sign Bilukidi.

The Rider organization is imploding, just as the Bombers did under Kelly, Sleepy Joe Mack, Burke, etc. They are reaping what they have sown through arrogance and wallowing in their misery says more about those who do than it does about the Riders. The Rider fan base have their share of jackholes but most are pretty much like us here and are mortified and angry. We can either gloat or show some class.

Yup. Beware. It was said of old, "Curb your dogma and drive your karma".
