Shepherd watchRumors on social media are swirling that Kerry Shepherd - CB may be under investigation again.

North - 41, Totems - 34Season PredictionsThe sports journalists association has published the results of this year's division prediction polls among their twenty top sports journalists.
Canadian Conference Canada: Nova Scotia Vikings with 13 votes (Runner up: BCFC Bears with 5 votes)
American Conference US: New Orleans Reapers with 12 votes (Runner up: Memphis Pharaohs with 4 votes)Game of the Week: Seattle Totems at Toronto NorthOur Expert Predictions:
Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
A single digit win.
Mary Moore : Toronto North
They are furious with their losing streak. They will be fired up and I would not want to face them right now. There will be some very good football to watch here.
Jim Nox : Toronto North
Looking at how the teams match up, I know it is not trendy, but I think that Bob Copeland - RB is a key cog in the offensive machinery of the North. Should be interesting to see him going against a quality opponent. A tough choice. I think it will be a close game.
Darren Francis : Toronto North
The leadership on the North is great. You look at guys like Gary Grissom II - WR and what he does for a team. Leadership like that helps you win games. They will rack up a lot of points.
Who is the best LB? Reapers' Joseph Mahoney or RoughRiders' Dominique Salisbury?LB Joseph Mahoney sparked up a friendly rivalry with Dominique Salisbury in an interview with local news. Joseph Mahoney brings up Dominique Salisbury every chance he gets, it seems. 'Is he faster than me? nah. Look at the tape, once the pads come on he slows down. Sure, he is good and he may even be as good as me some day.' The Reapers LB said. Certainly such words will set the internet forums on fire, and it will be interesting to see if Dominique Salisbury takes the bait and responds.Post Free Agency RetirementsThe following players have retired after going unsigned through free agency:DE Kenneth Gooden (N/A) has retired!DE Kenneth Gooden (59 ovr) has retired after failing to get signed in free agency.WR Johnathan Richardson (N/A) has retired!WR Johnathan Richardson (54 ovr) has retired after failing to get signed in free agency.C Adam Forster (N/A) has retired!C Adam Forster (56 ovr) has retired after failing to get signed in free agency.Free Agency Round 10: Round Up1 players signed this week.

Jim Nox: Robert Logan - T
Run blocking is very different when facing college kids than the full-grown men in the pros. This kid has the skills to do the latter. Protects the QB well on pass plays. You can never have enough good pass blockers. Consistently makes good decisions on the field. When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.
Pick 2: Memphis Pharaohs
Larry Moore: Jimmy Lewis - LB
His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Is fast enough to get sacks. Is fast enough to contain outside runs.

Solid pick.
Jim Nox: Jimmy Lewis - LB
This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Fast enough to get around slower Offensive Tackles.

Raised to know the value of hard work. Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. Love his strength. He can play everywhere on the line.

This is a kid who really contributes to the team spirit and the social cohesiveness on the team. Has the speed to keep contain, and even chase down run plays going the opposite direction.

Just what they have been looking for.
Pick 9: Houston RoughRiders
