Well this could be very disappointing.

It appears that Mitchell is quite correct about the Riders keeping extra players around, but that isn't necessarily illegal under the letter of the CBA: teams are allowed to work out unsigned players, use the injury lists to stash players and so on. The problem only comes if unsigned players participate in teams' regular practices, and that doesn't seem to be happening

If there's no CFL rule that prohibits this, it would seem to be a smart usage of their resources; they're the league's wealthiest team, and while they're restricted in what they can spend on rostered players by the salary cap, they might as well use some of that money for other uncapped expenses

Arash Madani @ArashMadani28m28 minutes ago
Issue isn't @BoLeviMitchell or @DarrellDavisSK. It's the @CFL unaware of what was happening in its own league when EVERYONE else did. #CFL
Arash Madani @ArashMadani27m27 minutes ago
All it would have taken was one unannounced flight to Regina by a #CFL exec to witness the post-practice practices that go on. But nothing.
Arash Madani @ArashMadani26m26 minutes ago
#CFL office immediately stepped in, making things up as they went, on blocking Noel Thorpe to Edmonton. Here, unsurprisingly quiet. Typical.
Arash Madani @ArashMadani24m24 minutes ago
Good for @BoLeviMitchell + @DarrellDavisSK. Reporting facts. Facts the #CFL apparently is ill-equipped to handle. Anyway, back to Olympics.

Haha. Madani is such a hack. If he's known for so long why didn't he report it?
He also Can't get his story straight on whether the league knew. First he says they're incompetent for not knowing then says it's a conspiracy they helped cover up.

Lol because I think Arash Madani sucks? Or do we only bash second rate sportsnet reporters when they talk NHL?

No because of the way you are trying to spin and defend the Riders. It's Oiler level Kool-aid drinking.
No matter what anyone says your precious Riders could never be doing anything illegal.

I'm not foaming at the mouth, I just think it's hilarious how blind you are being. It's quite comical.

Yeah this is a pretty obvious case of homerism given how many people have confirmed that the Riders are doing something pretty sketchy.
Which is alright. Fans are allowed to be biased.
But holy crow.
The league has allowed certain teams to bend the rules for decades. Sadly nothing new and will continue to hold the league back.
The Riders drive the league in many ways, so they will be treated very nicely I'm sure.

I would go back and multi quote all your funny posts but I'm on my phone so I don't feel like it.
Offhand though some of your arguments were things like it's been happening in the league forever so no big deal, it couldn't possibly be happening because of how much media coverage they get, Mitchell's only source is Bo so that doesn't mean it's totally true, etc.

Nope didn't say that said the opposite, yes I'm curious how no one noticed until now, nope didn't say that etc.
Did say I'm sure if happened, did post article saying it happened etc.

I would guess he is saying they are not just bending the rules, but full on breaking them.

That being said, I wouldn't be terribly shocked if this were true. This has been going on for years in the CFL and Jones really strikes me as a win at all costs kind of guy.

You didn't say that?

Popp ripped his team a new one after the loss to BC. Some serious problems in Montreal.
Quote:

The effect of yet another losing season — at least through one-third of the schedule — appears to have taken its toll on Jim Popp, who delivered an explosive and, at times, insensitive yet troubling tirade to and against his players last Sunday.

The Rider cheating scandal is getting worse. Now there's apparently evidence of the Riders paying these non roster players.
