  1. Doesn’t exactly endear you to fans, which was the point our greenback friend made.
  2. I wonder what the oldest jersey any one on here has of the bombers? I don’t have any super old, but it’d be pretty cool to see.
  3. Soured me the way he floated around doing tours of being wined and dined as a fa dragging his feet on signing with zero interest in competing or being a part of any thing more than a pay check. If he had half the heart, and drive of biggie he’d be a sure fire hofer, might’ve ended up being an nfler with his athleticism and talent. Nice guy sure. But I’ll take an woli over a muamba any day of the week. Is he apart of the cfl pa or some thing? I could see him staying involved in football out side of pro coaching. Maybe even tsn.
  4. I really see a lot of favourable comparisons between the two. Schoen was more under rated as an athlete. He can really turn it up and burst in his cuts. Gonna be a tremendous battle for that 3rd imp wr spot.
  5. Yeah that might be the biggest producing conference now. That and pretty much every school in Florida lol. With Florida it seems to have the deepest talent, and the most scouting from cfl teams. It also seems like as many players league wide come from the smallest schools that few have ever heard of before. The rarest thing seems to be a guy under 27/28 from one of the major teams like usc. Can some one break down the talking points? Namely the JY bit?
  6. More likely we are waiting to find out from the league what the repercussions will be.
  7. Yep. Big sky conference in general, aac, cusa, mid America, mountain west, pac 12. A lot of really small schools in the transfer portal era too. Big prospects start out at top notch schools it doesn’t work out and go down to get starts also juco guys move up to those teams. It’s like the perfect low middle meeting place for cfl players. Also Florida state, central Florida, nd/sd and state.
  8. Actually the harassment alone could net him a summary criminal conviction. Plus uttering threats (which he’s plead to before, said he was going to get his AK and spray this place up.) also making threats involving that type of assault can be grounds for a criminal conviction. Imop it is not normally likely for those charges to be brought. BUT, due to his history and public standing a crown prosecutor could well choose to use him to send a message / make a name for them self.
  9. When the news broke about lawler it was that we had suspended him before any one even knew the details.
  10. I love that he shared a high light link. highly polished slot wr. Could make a very easy transition to the cfl as a possession guy. Very much in the mold we look for in WRs. Solid size, great hands and polish, not an explosive athlete but a guy that should be reliable. Jake wenieke Esq, but shorter. Did return some at times but is more of an emergency return guy. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/k.j.-hill/32004849-4c47-7511-2479-7d5ec248bc17 https://nflcombineresults.com/playerpage.php?i=30141
  11. I think what’s unique about the riders is the volume of creeps they’ve had. Even over 10 and 15 years to Trevis smith. Stack them up over that time and compare it to the rest of the league. Athletes especially in football frequently come from bad situations, and are prone to having varied legal issues. Every one has a guy now and then. And some of them are really awful. When it happens on a regular basis with one team though it’s different. In the case of Harris and lawler, we broke the news and acted quickly as an organization. Which never seems to be the approach from the riders. Even when their guy refuses a piss test, accosts the tester and runs away. Kelly’s ass was grass as soon as it happened too, though we were looking for an excuse to can that turd imo.
  12. Awe was max fined what 5 times last year? And atleast twice not fined but commented on by the league? The league finally gets rid of guys like Lawrence bad Marino only to have new guys fill the same role. How do you fine a guy that many times and not suspend for repeat offence
  13. Yeah oday has to go one day. The list of stuff is soo long even if Marshall isn’t worse I have no doubt you could find some thing worse in that era. What a dumpster fire that all was. Sure seems like we are stuck with constantly having problematic toxic management and cheap ass dirty players kicking around. Idk if it was ever better or if we just never heard about stuff. But it seems like the league isn’t interested in taking fixing it.
  14. Tbh under the previous regimes it’s not out of line. The riders tried to sign that lber who got cut from the nfl for a horrid domestic violence under **** n oday and the cfl barred the contract and him from signing more. Going back to jones and even previous admins horrible people have been given a chance by the riders or employed by them. That said with a new from out side coaching staff we can’t say if the toxicity will continue. I don’t think it will any where near the level it has in the past. But the precedent does exist.
  15. That’s a pretty sweet idea. I’d love to see some thing like that with seat numbers on jerseys for season ticket holders on a premium plan Biggie wasn’t the hero. But he wasn’t the goat. He’s right, he was in no way designed to be the deep man or man lock in that situation. He tried to bail out a cover mistake. Which happens when you’re in cover 0 soo much. I might take a look at the angles available for a break down on that play, in betting Houston was the one who blew cover.
  16. Thanks. I remember that I thought some thing actually negative had happened on twitter. Thats nothing to be riled up about imo. It’s hard enough for guys to retire, to say I’m not healthy enough in a gc I don’t expect any player to make that call. That’s the problem with having final say be the players. Coaches trainers and drs need to protect the team in positions like that.
  17. 100%. A lot of industries are male dominated high testosterone etc. manufacturing, especially welding and fabrication. Mining, oil rigs etc. sexual harassment and worse are never a risk associated with work. That’s just an awful and dangerous standard. Yeah, really pathetic and disappointing. If the Argos are smart they’ll give her every dollar she wants and get a none disclosure signed asap. If that doesn’t happen I fully expect things to get worse and punishment to be severe. That step doesn’t just happen in a vacuum either imo. If they jumped to that, I would suspect they have a much deeper issue with more victims.
  18. The person who was fired for refusing the advances of a player. You’re blinded by double blue glasses. Athletes get named because when they don’t, teams get things swept under the rug. Kelly has skated soo many times already on even a trial by media. Kelly has had more second chances than any one in the league. Guys a dumpster fire.
  19. Any synopsis of what he said? glad Sergio is back. Hope they either let him punt or get a really good punter and kick off guy.
  20. No it isn’t. Kelly is a creep with a long history of offense. The system is in place to protect victims, not predatory losers. As it should be.
  21. Tbh, Kelly does not get the benefit of the doubt. Dude has been in soo much trouble soo often and kicked off soo many teams, I presume things are worse than we are hearing. Screw the Argos too.
  22. He did. and that’s why he’s worth bringing in on a min type deal. 3 cfl training camps so far, he needs to come in and probably needs to be an instant roster guy to stick.
  23. Yeah. And if not, no big loss. He’s got upside but he’s played and been to camps up here a few times and not developed.
