  1. Yeah, pretty sure the Argos wouldn't bring him in if he had to chance. It's incredible how much knowledge and football expertise there is toiling away on this site, not earning a paycheque in the CFL. A real untapped resource.
  2. Yup. And, they've built it in a way that makes it possible. Controlled salary costs, new markets, and complimentary schedule.
  3. They'll buy the AAF. It's being set up in a way to make it desirable.
  4. I'm not defending Fogg. I was confident he would he would protect the ball but get no return. I would have preferred they move on from him much earlier in the season.
  5. He wasn't very productive this year but he sure seemed to protect the ball.
  6. It was part of the agreement, I believe. LaPo was with TSN and it wasn't clear he even wanted to leave to be an OC again. LaPo was in a position of strength.
  7. An interesting breakdown of what is going on down south: The noose is tightening': 5 takeaways from Michael Cohen's plea deal — and what it means for Trump https://www.cbc.ca/news/thenational/michael-cohen-plea-deal-trump-takeaways-1.4926513 I love that Mueller is so meticulous, weaving everything together. Trumpers continue to cry foul but even neutrals must see how the everything is unraveling.
  8. I believe so; however, it may be written into Lapo's contract that compensation is not required. I seem to remember (or, possibly, I'm making it up) that Lapo can leave for a HC gig, if offered. I wonder how if his contract would be structured in a way that would make it less of an obstruction for a new team to hire him?
  9. For your viewing pleasure. Found it on Reddit.
  10. I skipped it. I was near the stadium with my son but, after his soccer, he didn't feel like going, so we didn't. I have to admit, I was kind of happy to skip it too. Glad I didn't miss much.
  11. The poorly written part of the sentence? No wait, the entire sentence is poorly written...
  12. You couldn't get this script made in Hollywood. No one would watch a movie about a stupid President, surrounded by stupid people, doing stupid, illegal things. Unwatchable. Unless Leslie Nielsen was the President and Inspector Clouseau was the investigator.
  13. Now that Trump has declared journalists the enemy and has condoned the murder of a journalist, Duterte, who Trump has praised, has moved on his critics: https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/29/asia/maria-ressa-rappler-intl/index.html Philippines news website Rappler and its chief executive have been indicted on tax evasion charges, the latest in a case that free speech and civil liberties advocates have warned is part of a wider crackdown on dissent by President Rodrigo Duterte's administration. The war on journalism continues and is being pushed by the US.
  14. Sure, but I don't think the CFL is wading into the some of historical inequities that our country has had. We can certainly see a lot of Canada in the CFL but I wouldn't heap all of the social issues onto the CFL. It's sport. Sport, along with the Arts, has a special way of reflecting the good and bad of our society.
  15. Diversity of the CFL. The CFL is not speaking for the country.
  16. I want the defense to buy into D. They're all over the place and look confused. They lack organization.
  17. No connections to Russia! No collusion! Witch hunt! Never went through with a deal with the Russians! Collusion is not a crime! How does asylum in Argentina work?
  18. Is it time to move another prospect and picks?
  19. Yes, I phrased that poorly. The Jets remind me of how TO were playing. They're a hot-mess right now. Thank god they've got some kids that can shoot. The Jets look bad right now. Getting wins, so hopefully they can figure it out before too long.
  20. Reminds me of TO right now. All O - No D. And we all know how important the D is, right ?
  21. They were not even going to get a new stadium out of the deal. In fact, voting "no", may be good news in getting a stadium built. Who would given them money to build a stadium when they're pouring billions into the Games?
  22. The game is facing pressure for a whole lot of reasons. One is that they seem to be losing youth in this country and they don't seem to be growing the audience to new immigrants. That's not to say that minorities are not playing, they just don't seem to be watching. The DIS campaign was to help reach out to those communities, highlighting how diverse the league is and has been. I don't understand your criticism that the CFL is not diverse, so it shouldn't be patting itself on the back? It is, in fact, diverse and is over represented by minorities. But, at the same time, is not growing the minority audience. An odd juxtaposition, for sure. But, it's an advertising campaign meant to advertise the league.
  23. Right but how much more would Gray make than Hardrick, if he were a starting tackle? Would it be worth starting an extra Canadian lineman, if it meant get flexibility somewhere else or would it be too much more. Maybe it's a wash.
