Winter & the $336,000 play!

I haven't posted in awhile. Mainly because i guess i have the winter blues already (and it's still fall). With the way the Grey Cup ended and already being exhausted from dragging the boys from rink to rink, i could use a break.

I am excited, however, for another Rider offseason. It is always fun to see the make-over of the team, by the rider brass, and see what pieces are brought in to make sure we're not the bridesmaids again next season. We have over a dozen free agents and the reality is, we will probably only see half of them back in a Rider uniform.

One thing that won't change is our quarterback. Darian Durant had an exceptional season and playoff run, and i look forward to seeing him grow and improve over the next couple of seasons.

One other thing about the gaffe at the end of the Grey Cup that no one has talked about, the money! The too-many men on the field call cost every Rider, $8,000!!!!!!!

Every player on the Grey Cup winner receives a $16,000 cheque while the losers get $8,000 each.

In the end, that play cost $336, 000 for the boys in green (42 players x $8,000)!! Wow!!
