July 19, 20177 yr comment_277624 I see no one has mentioned it was Dickensen that closed practices first, doesn't fit the narrative I guess

At least Dickenson doesn't whine about other teams spying on his practices. I was waiting for the resident green whiner to show up to defend and deflect from his precious coach.

July 19, 20177 yr comment_277626 Funny thing about the whole thing...that's totally something that I could see Jones have someone in his organization do, go out and do some spying, and if anything is an admission of guilt as he thinks someone else is doing it to them so now he is paranoid haha
July 19, 20177 yr comment_277627 Try to keep up Ripper. The issue isn't closing a practice, it's Jones crying about spies rather than focusing on the play of his team. FWIW, the Bombers have also closed a practice this season as well. Biggest diffence between the 3 cases is that one HC is pulling claims out of his ass & the other 2 are just going about their business.

Nobody cares if a H. Coach closes a practice. It seems it's being done more and more. Its usually not even paid attention to..unless the H Coach makes an issue of it. Now, let's see, who's made an issue of it this year? ??? Hmm

I haven't spent much time defending Jones and I'm not now either. It would appear Calgary is sensitive about their practices leading up to a game with us. I think all practices should be closed all the time except maybe one day a week for fans.

Actually, what's sensitive is telling a coach to win with class... And then a season later whining to the media about an opponent spying on your team's practice.
July 19, 20177 yr comment_277635 I thought it was funny when Austin stated that if we were cheating maybe we should fire the scouts because it didn't work out very well

July 19, 20177 yr comment_277638 Doesn't Chris Jones realize his team sucks so much nobody needs to cheat to beat them?

One thing to note is that if someone attends Rider practice you have to show ID. Talk about being paranoid.

The way some, maybe a lot of fans hate the Riders, I feel that way about the Stamps. I would love to see Calgary lose this game. Sask has the no 1 offence to this point. not impossible. Best game last year was Grey Cup. watching the Stampeders eat a bit of humble pie. Very puzzling for them. So far this season the great Bo levi hasn't look so hot. Edited July 19, 20177 yr by Mark F

Fans can enter via elevator lobby 2 on the northwest side of the stadium." doesn't say anything about ID. Are they checking for spies? if so...... Yup, you have to sign in and show photo ID. The policy officially started last year after the Riders got busted for having their pre-practice team.
July 20, 20177 yr comment_277660 Chris Jones can't close practice. The extra 25 guys in the party house wouldn't be able to attend.

They do not look as intimidating as last year, but most of the pieces are still there and they still have Bo Levi and Huffer. I'm thinking that the Riders are going to mutilated. Plus folded and spindled.
