Machiavelli Has Nothing on the Saskatchewan Roughriders
Not all the games in the CFL are played on the field.
It’s kind of funny now that Brendan Taman is no longer in a management capacity, the amount of breaking stories have gone down in the CFL. If you are smart and monitor social media, you can stay ahead of the mainstream media although some people like Justin Dunk, managed to live tweet the 2016 CFL draft long before TSN announced the picks.
So this week there was a story that the Riders were denied permission to put Greg Hardy on their negotiation list. Hardy is a former Dallas Cowboy defensive lineman who got cut and has a sordid domestic violence history attached to him.
He had tried out for Jacksonsville and is searching for other NFL possibilities and apparently the Riders put in a neg list claim on him. The interesting thing about this is that neg lists are generally secret except when Eric Tillman decides to release them and teams are aware who is on other teams’ lists. So this report via Arash “I wish Brendan Taman was still in the CFL” Madani is interesting because it became public. It seems someone wanted to cast aspersions against Murphy, leaving of question of who and why?
