I am laughing at suggestions of dealing Mike Reilly. He is exactly what this franchise needs. Start developing Grant Kraemer and any other quarterback you can find? Yes, because you never know when you will need them - look what happened to the Als post-Calvillo. But deal the future Hall-of-Famer? ...

Josiah St. John is a strange acquisition. He was the first overall selection by Saskatchewan in the 2016 draft but the Riders gave up on him, and the Argos cut him in training camp this year. Given how the Lions have not had a good track record with other once-promising national O-linemen, I can’t ...

Not sure I necessarily want the Aquilinis either but I'm going to bite this time (ignoring the other 15x you've written the same thing on here, lol). How have they "completely screwed" the Canucks? They are one of the most valuable teams in the league. Rumours persist of their (Francesco'...

The Stamps group in 2005 had the advantage of a Flames group minor ownership stake--which transitioned to a majority ownership stake in 2012. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/calgary-flames-become-majority-owners-of-cfl-stampeders-1.1132253 The Lions group does not appear to have the same maj...

Reilly is not the problem, but his contract will make it almost impossible to fix the problems elsewhere. Hervey is not going to cut Reilly and it's unlikely anyone trades for him. So I expect Hervey will spend a bit more on O-line and go cheap on receivers hoping that with better protection Reilly...

Interesting. I don't know if Badgley is hurt or they are dabbling with 1 kicker. Badgley is listed as inactive with Ty Long handling all kicking chores for the Chargers today. He's punting, kicking off, is 2 for 2 on converts and just kicked a 40 yard FG.

Badgley is hurt

I’m okay with giving Hervey one more year to figure things out. I would like to see less reliance on former mediocre Eskimos. I will give him credit that he hasn’t just sat by idly and has gone out and made changes. Let’s see what he can do with this.

Alex Singleton and Merken Michel both cut today. Shocking that Singleton didn’t make the roster. I expect he’ll catch on elsewhere, though if he comes back to the CFL, Hervey better be willing to back up the money truck onto his front lawn. Cut Chungh and Konar to make space.

Even without the disaster that is the 2019 BC Lions, wouldn't Duke Williams be more inclined to re-sign with the Esks where he had previous success, once his NFL options run out? Or is he another "ED guy"? I think Farhan Lalji mentioned today that he doesn't think any NFL cuts would want ...

I would absolutely be interested in giving Matthews a look. Our receivers haven't been very productive, and I really think we should go back to 3 imports and 2 nationals. I would also be waiting to see if Duke Williams is cut by the Bills, so I probably wouldn't jump to sign Matthews just yet. The l...

If a player is quitting on a play he should be cut immediately. Keeping guys like that around are how you get a toxic locker room. I'm also at the point now where I would fire Devone Claybrooks, although with the coaches cap I'm not sure if that's a viable option. Perhaps demoting him to DC, but he'...

Lol Mike Reilly isn't being cut.

If the team is sold before the end of the season I don’t expect any changes will be made until the offseason. First would be a new team President. It’s hard to speculate since that will be dependent on who buys the team, but that will be the first change. The new owner is going to want his own guy, ...

The ST coach should be the first one gone, our special teams have been brutal this year. Offensive and defensive line coaches also should be on thin ice. We have way too much money invested in our offensive line for it to be this bad. I do believe these position coaches are also at the mercy of thei...

Just because you don't happen to like or agree with my Opinions or the way that I express those opinions is neither here or nor there. I have said NOTHING at all that could be seen as being anything but the Total Truth. As far as Musso goes, he got to run me down, and I just returned the favour. Th...
