Take away a 1st rounder from that asshat Jones. Like he doesn't know the rule.

the 3rd down nation link no longer works...I'm thinking they may have jumped the gun on that report. Hope it's true though!

spoke to @sskroughriders GM Chris Jones about reports Riders worked out Manziel: "Of course not. He's on Hamilton's neg list." @cfl #cfl

This is funny too....

 

from @sskroughriders GM Chris Jones on report of working out Manziel: "No one from our club worked him out. We're considering legal action."

I read it in my email but when you click on it to read comments it has been removed. Or the link doesn't work. If Jones actually did work out Manziel then more than a fine needs to happen.

 

I'll say one thing about Mr. Jones; he's not boring.

Of course Jones is going to deny this. He's not just going to come out and say "Yeah we broke the rules again! I've got no QB what else am I supposed to do?"

 

 

If the Riders can't abide by the rules of the game, imagine what they're doing in the accounting dept.

The Plan just can't be beat......in terms of entertainment value...

The CFL has to hit them hard. They continue to break the rules, and just get a slap on the wrist. Of course they are going to keep pulling this crap.

Sources say Manziel was put through the paces by the Riders in Florida in advance of last month's Senior Bowl. - per Juatin Dunk

No we didn't, no we didn't - Chris Jones (turning blue in the face)

Without knowing what actually happened, and considering who is involved, you have to go hmm, and ask yourself.....who is more believable?

If it is true, the punishment would be MUCH, MUCH more severe than the loss of a first round pick.

If true..... Jones should be punted.  

So they claim no one from the Riders worked him out. So they got a third party to do it? lol  What a gong show.

If it happened, you can be sure that...they didn't know what they were doing.....

Dunk doesn't put this out there if there isn't proof.

When they make use of 100 scouts affiliations can be sketchy.

I'll hold off judgement until the story is corroborated, but you have to think where there's smoke  there's fire.

In any event, the negativity surrounding Mr. Jones and ultimately the "Ridernation"  he represents continues to grow.  

Jones just being creative.   If true, the spin from some on RF would be epic...

Its interesting because if they did it, AND Jones is flat out lying about it and threatening to sue?  Clown show.
