Wellyeah. It's like family- if they are part of your family you are more forgiving and have more empathy and patience... double standard sure, but totally natural. Also, using riders is an extreme example- default mode for those chucklefucks is deep deep disdain.

No .. I'm looking at two different situations dispassionately and see one man with a documented history of bullshit and the other doing something completely out of character. It's not the same thing.

I dunno. Sexual assaulting or harassing multiple women vs 1 incident in a state where aligator Alcatraz was located. I dunno man. Who knows what going on in his life. Kelly tho? It’s a repeat with him. With that said if he’s under contract still, I’d cut him.

No, it isn't. Suddenly you're a psychologist able to expertly diagnose from afar considering you don't know either men. Mitchell who attempted vehicular homicide on the pursuing sheriff is somehow calling out for help now? That isn't the point. What Mitchell & Kelly did were both grown men's decisions. Both have to live with the consequences. That's all I'm talking about. Just the hypocrisy of it all from my perspective. A crime is a crime. You want to play stupid games (in Florida?) then expect stupid outcomes.

Jake isn’t the biggest issue with the team as kolo and some others probably factor more into crap play on the field but yes he’s the example of poor roster management. Was it 2018 he was cut? 7 years later he’s starting. That’s just ****** up.

Why would anyone have any sympathy, empathy or compassion for a man with the history Chad Kelly has? The Toronto incident isn't the first documented case of him being a shitty human being. Mitchell on the other hand doesn't have that same documented history. On it's surface, it seems like something from out of left field which is why people are willing to give him some grace. That's not excusing or accepting the behaviour, it's simply acknowledging that humans do stupid things at times whether it's from ignorance, inexperience or stress. It feels very much like a dude who needs help so comparing Mitchell's situation to Kelly's is ******* absurd.

Chad Mitchell??...Now IF that guy exists....and combining the problems of Chad Kelly and Dillon Mitchell into that persona ...you would have one very disturbed individual...NOT trying to be funny because these players need professional help and it usually starts out with 'self denial'....Help isn't readily available in a lot of instances and they usually won't seek it on their own, UNTIL a criminal situation confronts them....These individuals are now forced to seek help ...it shouldn't have had to reach this point

But that highlights the biggest issue with the team... poor roster usage and management.

That's because you're misinterpreting the statement.

How much juice did he have in 2018 when we tried to walk away from him? The fact that it's now 2025 and we're still talking about him and he's still playing that kind of a role, is a huge fail for this team.

It is EXTREMELY hyperbolic to say that Jake Thomas is EVERYTHING that's wrong with this team.... The only issue with Jake the past two years is that they gave him Prime Doug Brown snaps. Used sparingly, it would have been fine and far less glaring. He just doesn't have that much juice anymore. Going forward, if much prefer to see Cam Lawson and Tanner Schmeckel if we're going to carry NI DL...

People can laugh all they want at this with a wave of their hand but this is bang on. Obviously it does not mean that our 39th best player who plays nose is the main reason for our downturn. It's silly and misguided to interpret it that way. Don't think specific player, think mindset and approach using a specific example. E.g., roster management, recruiting, playcalling, loyalty versus onfield performance etc etc etc. MOS has confirmed all of this needs improvement/course correction to get us back to the top.

JT is everything that's wrong with the Bombers. On any other team, he'd have been cut long ago.

I heard the Bombers had a contest to redo the jerseys and JT won by adding racing stripes to the helmets. MOS was quite impressed.

I give Chad Mitchell a hard time mostly cuz he's an argo coupled with his greasy nature but EOD jokes and fun aside regardless of jersey (hey @Brandon), empathy is usually a good standard to follow. As a reminder empathy isn't sympathy nor does it mean agreement, it's understanding other people's situation.

The Blue can dress Jake Thomas up like Homer and do skits where everyone on this board is Grimes being baffled at how JT still has his job.

If Mitchell was playing for the Riders the tune would be different. The same thing happened after Lawler was suspended for his DUI and a few people on here gave him the pass. Lots of double standards.

The first prokaryotes finding each other - was life changing

I could see a 17 year old teen age kid make a bad choice like this. But a grown man? Mitchell made that choice knowing full well what would happen. Now he'll face the consequences. There already is a Continental Football League. It was around in the 60's. Don Jonas was the league MVP with Orlando in 1968. And he ewas a two time Champ. League folded. Now, it's been revived as a developmental league with new teams. Mike Kelly is the Commissioner starting play in 2026 so name is taken.

I was there for the Big Bang. Quite the fireworks display. Tough to find a seat in the black void.

No one here is willing to forgive Chad Kelly for what he did. He's been called every name under the sun that is allowed by posters here for sexually harrassing a young woman at work. No forgiveness there. But let some idiot player like Mitchell who was probably high on some kind of drug get behind the wheel of his car driving erratically at high speeds trying to kill himself & others. Now, suddenly he's a "young man who hopefully gets the help he needs". Sorry, I don't buy it because I never saw one word of kindness towards Chad Kelly. I'm not sticking up for Kelly. I just am stating no one here was willing to say he needed help. The help that Mitchell needs is to spend the next few years in the slammer thinking about the life he threw away.

CFL needs players who are marketable. Surely there’s some interesting personalities in the league. They should get them all together. 1 guy each team and remake we are the world but make it we are the cfl. That would get some views.

This has mental health issues written in capital letters for Mitchell. Similar to the cowboys player a few weeks ago but no suicide. Almost exactly the same actually

44 years old. I'd be at the "young" end of the scale when it comes to people who are a fan of the CFL itself.
