The Saskatchewan Roughriders have acquired the rights to offensive weapon Denard Robinson in the trade for defender Eric Striker.
Gardner is currently listed as the 3rd string QB, and it appears Denard hasn't taken a snap yet, but it would be pretty cool to see them play together again.
That may be worth the trip to Saskatchewan to see a game
This is a good day for former Michigan players named D Robinson
It's a long way from South Florida to Saskatchewan, but I'd love to see Denard in a RR uniform. In some ways the Canadian game is more wide-open than the American version, so maybe he'll get the opportunity to do what he does best.
I initially read this as "I'd love to see Denard in a [Rich Rod] uniform"
If there was a Saskatchewan Fighting RichRods t-shirt, I'd buy it.
No one will find your hideaway book if you are in Saskatchewan.
could you imagine him with that running start they have?
Getting the band back together!
We're on a mission from God
Fix the cigarette lighter
Car's got pretty good pickup...
...and we are wearing sunglasses. Hit it!
I hate Illinois Nazi's
Wait, did someone say RR is headed up to the CFL to coach Saskatchewan?
still going with "OW", i see...
ok so how do we watch this on TV because that sounds like some good watching!
doesn't cbc have a game of the week?
Yes, on ESPN or ESPN2.
So mark your calendars for July 28 at 9pm ET for some horse vs horse action, as the Stampeders take on the Roughriders.
My inner child is going: "Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!" right now..
more like "woooooooooooooo, eh???"
He is not actually that close to playing for the Rough Riders. This article is from a week ago and they basically just traded for his rights, but it is unclear if he wants to play in Canada. Toronto held his rights before and could not convince him to play up there. I saw in an interview where the Saskatchewan coach stated that he took a chance on his rights because Devin Gardner convinced him to. I would love to see it happen though.

Maybe Gardner reached out to Robinson and convinced him. He can play and get out of town before the weather gets too bad.
Remember, this is the guy who tried to bring a snowball home to Florida from his recruiting trip. Musn't question his attraction to the exotic.
How awesome is this. How can I watch the games?
Devin Gardner one of my favorite Michigan players. Every time I think of him, I just imagine what could have been if he had at least a wet paper towel in front of him instead of that o-line.
or a coach who could develop talent. Just an average coach would have helped him immensely. Instead, he was another casualty of Brady Hoke. Sigh..
Offensive weapon? Damn straight!
Roadtrip to the city that rhymes with fun!
