rickyg's world

Just my random ramblings on my life and other things that might interest me at the time. For the summer and fall this will probably be populated with my ramblings about the Saskatchewan Roughriders CFL football team.

Friday, February 15, 2008

Wow I haven't updated this thing since August. But of course nothing much has happened since then, right? OK the Riders won the Grey Cup and Austin left the team but those things happen every 20 years or so.

The previous paragraph was not to be taken seriously. Grey Cup was amazing. And I have zero hard feelings with Austin leaving. Football is a business. Miller should be able to do the job depending on the talent available to him. And speaking of talent free-agency starts tonight. My man Reggie is a free agent if he doesn't sign in the next 14 hours or so. I have a bad feeling about it though. If we don't sign him I'm pretty sure that our D will suffer this year. There was a reason that he was playing hurt all season. And that reason is that Reggie Hunt at 75% is still better than the guys behind him at 100%. The coaches know that but some of the fans just don't get it. How do I know it? See previous comment about the coaches. Yep coaches are a pretty good source. Sign Reggie.

As for the other Rider news. Kerry Joseph had a tryout with the Saints. Yeah it took longer to type that than it did for the Saints to say "Sorry Kerry" and send him on his way. He went public about his being unsatisfied with his current contract that he renegotiated last season, two demerit points for using the media in contract negotiations. He signed it off his own free will so he should play it out. Have another big season and then ask for big bucks.

And the newest Rider related news is that a group of Saskatoon business people are planning on building a 32,000 seats stadium. Yeah they should lay offf the meth. Now way the Riders move and now way Saskatoon gets an expansion team. But if this gets more tickets sold in Toon town then it's all good.

Time to get ready for work. Thanks for reading and as usual if you have something to say go ahead. But try to keep it clean.
