Re: Riders sign Grice-Mullen and flagrantly abuse the IR aga

The Riders announced the signing of Ryan Grice-Mullen today. They also released P. Rodriquez and moved D. Dorsey to the 9-game injury list. The only problem is Dorsey isn't injured, unless the ball bruised his shoulder when he missed it in the sun on Sunday. Being a veteran, Dorsey's contract was l...

Re: Saskatoon newspaper slams Riders fans....

Meh - I dismissed this as the ramblings of a member of CAVE - Citizens Against Virtually Everything.

Some crackpot wrote a letter to the paper - big deal.

Re: Question I'm Scared to Raise at Riderfans.com

Note to David Braley: heed that the Als and Riders, now Bombers have gone over. Two of those won Grey Cups doing so. /Just sayin'. Actually, if you're going to criticize those for not doing research, the only team to have exceeded the salary cap and won a Grey Cup* in doing so is the Roughriders. T...

Re: Question I'm Scared to Raise at Riderfans.com

There is also the fact that the Riders make excellent use of the 9 game IR, and that they have no issue going over the SMS Luxury Tax in the past two years . Other teams should follow that lead, imo. It helps more than hurts to be over $100,000 or so, as they always have been. Care to revise that s...

Of course they will be! They have an 87 man roster to draw from! I guess with so many guys to keep track of, it MUST be difficult :)

Re: Chick Flies South

I have no problem with the option year NFL tryouts. If Arseneux or Mallett want to sign in the NFL in 2011, I wish them all the luck, same as Cam Wake. They all signed 2 + 1 contracts. But Kelly Campbell, P.K. Sam and S. Logan signed 1 + 1 contracts, playing only one year in the CFL. I feel CFL tea...

Re: Tillman charged with sexual assault

I think it'll play out like Belize City Lion has already suggested - Riders keep him, and then Tillman then immediately resigns.

This allows him to have resigned on his resume reather than fired.

What is being covered up here?
No coverup - a Rider staffer drove him to his residence.

Re: Tillman charged with sexual assault

OK - ask yourselves this:

Make every detail in the story the same but replace "Eric Tillman, GM of the Saskatchewan Roughriders" with "Wally Buono, GM of the BC Lions".

Be honest - would your feelings still be the same?

Re: Tillman charged with sexual assault

here's how I see events unfolding in the next few days... -The Rider board releases a statement saying that after much debate, they have narrowly voted to allow Tillman to remain as GM. They go on to say that while they are disappointed by what has happened, they commend Tillman for owning up to hi...

I think its black and white, he did it and now admits it, can't see how more black and white it can get. I feel sorry for the victim and her family ,and for Tillman's family, but not for Tillman himself. I wonder why he waited so long and by doing so caused further stress to the victim and speculat...
