Yeah, ok I know nothing about sports. And thanks for calling me a ######. You're clearly much more knowledgeable than me in everything and i'm glad you know me so well that you know my type and i'm a tool. I didn't know I was a tool, but thanks for letting me know. I can now go around in life with much more purpose because of your post. Thank you flip.

Yours in friendship,

Worth.

Yeah because your contribution to this thread was really worthwhile. Maybe you should change your username to worthless.

Guys anymore of this crap and you'll both be gone. OK?

Looks like the Esks will hire Hall.

Hall finally gets his shot. Wonder how he will do and what coaches he will bring in.

That's at least 2 new head coaches this year also. Plus Toronto has to hire someone.

So that's 5 new head coaches in 2 seasons. Good to see some turnover instead of the same old coaches being reused.

I wonder if the arena league's suspension of operations will open the door for some new QBs to come up north, instead of teams recycling the same old QBs.

[worth]

I dunno about QB's, but i'm sure there will be more competition at other spots while more guys fight for the same jobs. Can only be a good thing for the CFL really. More competition for those spots is good and improves the callibre of play.

With Kent Austin winning the Grey Cup in Saskatchewan and John Hufnagel winning the Cup in Calgary in their first season(rookie), I guess Edmonton thinks it will work on their end as well.

Richie Hall is one of all-time favorite Stampeders and I am very happy that he will finally get his chance if it's true but NOT with Eskies Richie!!

[Dion_Iggy_Kipper!!!]

Sigh...We kept Hall as long as we could. Always knew he'd end up a head coach one of these offseasons. It sucks to have him leave, but I wish him good luck, even if it is in Edmonton.

Yeah I'm happy for him. In hindsight we'll see if promoting Miller instead of Hall was a good idea.

Riders cut Dominguez. May only be temporary to rework his big contract.

[calgaryred]

Its always been a dream of mine to see Dominguez as a Stamp

[flip]

Not likely. He has said previously he wants to play in Regina for the rest of his career and win a Grey Cup there, even though he sort of did but was hurt. (remind you of anyone? traitor POS)

Sounds like he'll come back to the Riders as long as his health permits but for less money.

Why on earth would you want a receiver who has been mediocre his entire career, and who will guaranteed give you only half a season of play since he will bump his knee and sit?

Not to mention the loser attitude he has, I will never forget him crying like a little girl about the Montreal Alouettes always showing up to play the Riders and beat them down.

Wow. Stupidity hasn't been sprouted like this in a long time.

Dominguez is one of the best receivers in the CFL. Would have led the league in our Grey Cup year had he not got hurt. Him and Burris were as dangerous as hell when they were together too.

Not to mention the fact he is a class act who is beloved by the community for being such a great guy.

If it weren't for his unfortunate luck with injury he'd be one of the most consistent and dominant guys out there. Unfortunately like many great talents (ie Eric Lindros, Theisman etc) his career will never be what it should have because of his bad knees.

At the right price he'd be good for any team, as long as he can stay semi-healthy. He may never be the same but you can't just write him off even if the odds aren't in his favour.

Either you are uneducated beyond being incomprehensible or your Rider hate is so blinding that you are beyond incomprehensible.

Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy Madison: Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.


(Hint: you are Mr. Madison)

Free Agency starts at 10pm MST today. Looks like we will lose Julian Battle, Burke Dales and Calvin Bannister(thank god! this guy is awful). Stamps are offered contracts to DE Eddie Freeman and LB Dwayne Carpenter. We already lost one of best defensive linemen Charleston Hughes to NFL and Stamps signed Browner and Labinjo already. I expect Dales gone and sign somewhere else but Stamps already took care of that problem by signing Calgarian Renaud. Sandro deAngelis on the other hand may well be back with the Stamps(that would be awesome!). If Freeman bolt, I still think we are in good position the way some of the Canadian defensive players like Labinjo, Robede improve. I am sure Stamps will find another Freeman type player for less money.

QB: With Burris, Nealy and Proctor plus the Arena QB MVP they just signed, I think they are set.

RB: Joffrey Reynolds, Jon Cornish, Summers and Rob Cote as FB are still with the Stamps.

Receivers: we still have Copeland, Lewis, Rambo, Canadian Teyo Johnson, Canadian Jabari Arthur, Canadian Brett Ralph and not sure if Canadian Thelwell still have a year left on his contract. If not, I think he'll be gone.

OLine: I think all are starters will stay another season or so.

DLine: we lost Hughes and possibly Freeman. Signed Labinjo and we still have Rebede, Simpson, Chevrier and others.

LB: Pretty much the same as last season with maybe losing Carpenter or not.

DB: Howell just got signed and so as Browner. We pretty much have the same lineup and we will lose Battle(too bad i like this guy but he got injured) and Bannister (not a big lost as he was consistently got beaten badly). I am not sure if Safety Karikari will be healthy enough to stay. If he is not, not really a big lost as Collins took over his spot backing up Lysack.

KICKERS: Sandro will be back and Renaud replaced Burke Dales, who the Stamps think will be gone.
