  1. I totally think Popp was fired over Collaros. He wouldn't admit that he made a mistake and wouldn't trade him, getting something in return. In the end, it cost him his job and Pinball made the smart move to trade him. I don't think it had anything to do with MOS and just trying to get something from nothing.

    Wrestling

    Great career. Such a good wrestler. Side note: I remember hunkering down for all 12 hours of that Wrestlemania at buddy's place. Good times. Pretty sure we got a bag of McDonald's cheeseburgers, which were $1.09 on Sunday's (I think). We made pizza on the BBQ, drank and smoked.
  3. BOMBERS’ TURNAROUND STARTED WITH MIKE O’SHEA By MATTHEW CAUZ https://www.cfl.ca/2019/11/29/cauz-bombers-turnaround-started-mike-oshea/ This is great read. I particularly love this bit near the end of the story: One final thought as to why I wanted to write about Mike O’Shea was seeing those shots of him hours after the game taking photos and signing autographs with the fans. Marshall Ferguson tweeted out footage of this wonderful moment saying “Two hours after winning the #GreyCup #Bombers Head Coach Mike O’Shea still signing every autograph, taking every picture, in a t-shirt, with a beer. Dude is the #CFL.” Ain't that the truth!
  4. GOP asshats. They get off on this stuff.
  5. They would be better with Arbuckle or Nichols (if he becomes available).
  6. RedBlacks will sign Lapo and get Masoli. Exactly one year from now they'll be scratching their heads in Ottawa wondering why this marriage didn't work.
  7. That's kind of you. Let Walters know so that he can write that into the offer and the contract. Do you have a valid (clean) criminal record check and child abuse registry?
  8. Except if she's from there (which she is) and would have all the family supports while Zach is working, which he will be.
  9. He signed in Regina after no one else would sign him. He was the last "starter" off the board, if I remember. It wasn't like they were eager to sign him in Regina either.
  10. If I were Collaros, I would be more worried about the players that seem fine to injure other players, like Lawrence.
  11. So, he's due a roster bonus before FA but he doesn't have a contract beyond FA. Interesting structure.
  12. An asterisk should show that we had to play 4 games in Regina this year. Worst punishment ever.
  13. Campell and Maas to BC. Lapo to Ottawa Buck promoted. Condell to Edmonton. Constanza to Hamilton as OC.
  14. This was pretty well known at the time because he would sponsor or put his name on anything, then, all of a sudden, he's deep into Nespresso.
  15. Yes, that would be collusion and quite dishonest in my opinion. If we sign Collaros right after free agency begins, we owe the Argos the first rounder. However, I would argue that if the Argos get their chance to re-sign him in FA and fail to do so, then we no longer would owe them anything. Of course the language of the trade agreement would offer more detail on this I'm sure.
  16. You can't tamper with your own player. Tampering would be say, if a GM* who just traded a player away said that they wanted to re-sign them in the off-season. *GM not named Pinball cause this league loves him and he can do whatever he wants apparently.
  17. I would say so, yes. On the team, at least on paper. Contributed.
