  1. A murder. They'd do a murder. That's why we don't play them. That whole franchise would collapse and fold under the weight of one game vs our d.
  2. Soo twice ish in 40 years. Not odds Id want to bet on. I have a feeling no matter what ott does or doesnt do it's going to be a dumpster fire next year too. We've had some good ones over the years. Hands of stone cloman is one of my favorites too. At this rate our kicking game this year is going to merit such a moniker.
  3. The whole ott dispersal draft and spreading of talent profited the bombers far more than any other team. We ended up with the korey banks fiasco, but got use out of henri childs, we traded brad banks away, we ended up with jerome haywood, and we stabilized our OL. We ended up with kyries hebert as well. It was crazy good for us. QFT
  4. We've always had a knack for finding the meanest OL in the league. Suhk Chunghs scouting report probably just said, "HE MEAN." (Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ offensive guard Drew) Desjarlais is such a s*** disturber. He’s so nasty in the trenches. God, I wish we had him on our team. From 3dn today. I think thats the biggest advantage desjarlais has. He's the nastiest guy on the field every game. We have various linemen down field blocking in the run on most every play. But no matter what, DD is coming up from behind the play to punish any one he can. Every single snap. https://3downnation.com/2021/09/22/insider-talk-hamiltons-qb-injuries-the-cfls-best-canadian-receivers-winnipegs-s-disturber/
  5. I agree. Big heads are gonna roll. Not just plop. Maybe not plop at all, but I do tend to think a new guy will bring in his own people. I believe it still counts for the year if they are fired. Im guessing not if they are suspended like in TOR, but I dont know for sure. I honestly dont know what to expect next from ott. Its such a dumpster fire any thing is possible. Has any one won 2 games or less and not been fired mid season or even in the off season?
  6. I dont think either was dirty, though agitators tend to get the dirty moniker. Mos drew a lot of penalties especially from OL. Both were loathed by opposition fan bases to a great degree. I remember a bit being made of it when he came here. But it goes away quickly when that type of guy is on your team. Coach or otherwise.
  7. He did, but I dont think it was ever announced what happened. I presume they settled out of court. I agree. He had a lot of borderline hits too though. Basically his career was hitting. He walked the line. He was an agitator and pushed the limit as far as he could. Be he was always smart about it. He was ejected a couple times but I think thats it.
  8. Yeah, I never liked schultz especially after that. If youre gonna do it, fine, but do it equally. Yeah that was him. He had a bunch of real dirty shots. Im sure Loffler was high on the list for a lot of none bomber fans in recent years too.
  9. Schultz but yeah. He had the TSN camera crew run an iso camera on dyson and showed all his dirty plays. Which considering the limited and awful TSN camera work back then is a pretty serious move. On one had I objected to it. He shouldve then done it to guys like jimenez and murphy, or philion. On the other, dyson needed to go.
  10. Beat me too it. FK ed philion. It guts me that hes a respected media guy now, and covers the als led by khari no less. Dyson was a dirty guy no doubt. Thing was he was also talented. He couldve made a go of it if he gave up the cheap shots. Dave donaldson probably very disliked by a lot of other teams too. AJ gass was widely hated. Mike O'shea was one of the most hated players of his era too. Bill romanowski in the NFL is probably as close as it gets. John rocker in baseball was hated by soo many people.
  11. 100%. If they think plop is their guy still, they should commit to him. If not they should send him packing now and focus on next year.
  12. Too many violent outbursts to list. But they involving going into the stands, and fighting everything from players to officials. He would sharpen the spikes on his cleats then slide for guys legs and do absolutely anything that would give him an edge or a chance to injure an opponent. 2 of the worst events though include going after hecklers. One was mid-game. The tigers were batting and he jumped into the stands and knocked the heckler down. He then kicked and stomped the man with his spiked cleats. A teammate yelled at him to stop because the man had no hands, lost in an industrial accident though he kept 2 fingers on one hand the other hand and fingers were gone, to which he retorted I wouldnt care if he had no legs too! He was eventually dragged off by fans and team mates. He was suspended indefinitely for this but the tigers refused to play until he was reinstated and the league caved to the demands. Previously he went after a fan right as a game ended. He was on deck as the game ended and a heckler in a wheelchair was assaulted. Cobb went after him with the baseball bat. He claimed the guy called him half black, and said it wasnt a big deal because the guy himself was half black. But not in those exact terms. "Cobb . . . was a scary sociopath. The mere sight of black people so filled him with rage that, on several occasions, he brutally pistol-whipped African American men whose only offense was to share a sidewalk with him" There are several books that go in depth about the horrible nature of ty cobb. He once choked out an ump in a fight that happened in the stands. A black groundskeeper tried to shake his hand, then choked his wife when she tried to defend him. It wasnt just black people and hecklers though. He assaulted his own sun with a bullwhip for flunking out of school. Hes just the worst.
  13. Almost certianly right. If I was ott I would either fire plop now, and take this action or sit him down and say this is the direction we wanna go, if you do it, you 100% will be back next year as HC. Its well known that the difference between a bad team thats turning it around and going to be good, and a bad team is losing close games. But another big difference is a bad team knows when its sunk, and instead of sulking through a season or clinging to an inane hope of a magical turn around, focuses on developing young guys. We saw it in 15 a bit here. Lots of guys got great chances to show what they could do and develop. The worst teams keep running it out there hoping to suddenly become good over night.
  14. I was thinking if they go to hodges this year they probably win 1 more game. Rookies usually manage to pull out 1. If I was the RBs I would spend the rest of the season focusing on developing a couple young guys. Id dress 3 qbs with Davis as the sacrificial lamb, Hodges and Christion as the projects. I would give those 2 situational drives. First drive of the game, first drive of the half, some garbage time etc. Send em in with max protect schemes and limited options. Like 3 wide and 1 rb. Ease them in and prep them for next year. Try and get them maybe 10 passing reps each or some thing. Then let davis take the brunt of the load out side of that. Treat some games like pre season so you can figure out what you have. Id work on developing dedmon as a rb too. He looked pretty good in those limited reps, and he has the kind of skill set to excel in that role for plop. Put guys like behar and peterman in situations to excel. Auclair too. I thought the same thing. I hate mid week games.
  15. You make some good points. Steroids are a powerful tool for recovering from a serious injury. In general im very libertarian when it comes to drugs. On face value Id have no problem with steroids being legalized in pro sports, or atleast some thing that you could get exemptions for and get strong support and guidance with. Pain killers are a big problem imo. But there is no easy answer for that, especially in the NFL and pro sports. I think the issue that will prevent that from happening is the re injury rates among athletes. Pro athletes put a great deal more strain on their body than average joes do. For an average joe the risk of a follow up injury due to steroids is pretty low and worth the risk. For pro athletes I think its too high. Its causes joints to be especially prone, namely neck discs and knees. Which are pretty serious concerns for athletes as it is. Frankly, I didnt care too much that bonds juiced up. Most of baseball was juiced at that point in time, and today the pitchers are juicing the balls like never before. Baseball always has some dirty cheating secret. There is no clean era. So I cant really thumb my nose at one era and not another. We all knew in the homerun era that guys were juiced to the ****. And more people watched than ever. To have watched then go and shun the players would be a great hypocrisy. Bonds was a world class selfish ass. Rafael palmeiro claimed the moral high ground, lied in court, and was juiced for a considerable time. You can judge them for that. Neither one is half as bad as some one like ty cobb though.
  16. The refusal is an automatic suspension. But the incident with the official was not. They may have waited on evidence, an investigation, and had the PA weigh in or investigate them self. Its not really surprising.
  17. Wasnt it 11pm before? Dont know why they keep piling on more BS. As if the PA would be ok with the CFL doing that lmao. AC has had some new event and excuse every day. If it didnt happen he'd be screaming that on every media platform.
  18. Yeah, but it'd be an upgrade for him to go some place with more than 3 fans any way.
  19. The exact details have not yet been released. And probably will not be. If they were not released because they refused to get vaxxed, MLSE and the argos implication that it was the cause of their release would be action worthy imo. I hope, especially for young, that its not the case. But at this point having heard nothing from them I would tend to believe it is the cause.
  20. Follows the players around with water bottles and whizinators in case of testing too.
  21. I presume that the two suspended coaches salary do not count against the cap and that their room can be used for jones. But I would bet any thing that their remaining amortized salary is not enough to get jones to drop a lucrative HS job and come up here.
  22. I bet hes working directly for MLSE and getting his wage fully or partially around the cap.
  23. I think its a hard call between guys like blink, james west, greg battle, tyrone jones, and rod hill. That would be the next group for me off the top of my head. Hill didnt play here that long, but is the franchise leader in picks and blocked kicks. Battle leads in tackles, west did a lot in several categories as a lber, jones is our lead in sacks, and blink the lead in rushing. All that said, I think blink should go in next year. He deserves to go in before harris passes his rushing record which would be late next year at earliest. This year Id put in one of the great 80s defenders. Or maybe coach cal goes up this year.
  24. 0 chance that happened. It used to happen in practices and crap, but not post korey stringer era. I guarentee if some one goes back to the gap film on TSN they can find clips of him drinking. If that did work, no runner or cyclist would ever pop. Every one would just be guzzling water. There are PEDs that you wont get caught for. Stuff that has masking agents, HGH, Insulin abuse and more. He used juice, had to piss was gonna piss hot and is trying to safe face. I get that players will struggle to own up. But for the riders to double down and back him up, especially after he accosted the official. That is some toxic BS.
  25. 🤢Sums it up perfectly. That said I think he and that D will much better than they were with sutbbler.
