He would have made the decision on the coach and Milanovich saw the writing on the wall.
I hope not. Grigson did a terrible job with the Colts these past years, basically leaving Andrew Luck to fend for himself on a weekly basis.

Schedules are out. For the most part it looks like a much better schedule compared to last year especially for the Argos who have 7 out of 9 home games on either a Fri, Sat, or Sun. Looks like Ottawa gets the brunt of the Monday game in Toronto as they have to play at home the Wednesday before it. This is the only thing that has to change moving forward.

Week 1 the Riders are playing Durant in Montreal! Mosaic's first regular season game will be against the Bombers on Canada Day. Should be an exciting start to the season.

Weird that Calgary and Ottawa play a "Home and Home" to start the season

Ottawa with byes in week 18 & 20. That's just weird.

Pretty good home schedule for my Esks. All Fridays and Saturdays.

Toronto's recovery plan is not in the two to three year range.

What the heck, a couple of Friday night games and a Saturday game in Winnipeg in July and August? Are they insane? No one's going to show up because everyone is at the cabin!

That will be their excuse, anyway.

Rakeem Cato cut loose by the Als. Think anyone picks him up? Argos maybe?

I think you mean this in jest but I think it's actually not a bad idea... I think Cato still has some serious upside and you can afford to take that risk with KG in the bullpen.

...

Oh wait, forgot about the Duron Carter signing

I was actually being mostly serious. Although the whole Carter, Cato and Glenn thing in Montreal was just too easy a joke to go with. We could totally be this year's Alouettes.

Manziel would totally fit our 'all-asshole' roster plan. As much as I'd like to see the new stadium I don't think I'm buying a ticket to a game until Jones is gone.

Some big names still out there!
I think the Riders will be a big player in free agency.

WR Kenny Shaw looks to have been signed by Ottawa from the Argos. It is expected that neither Ernest Jackson or Chris Williams will be back with Ottawa this season.
