Around the League: 2019 Off Season

Ferguson needs 4 more tweets just to explain everything. -
iHeart, I don't know your age. You could be a HS student for all I know or someone in their 20's but if you want something & your parents don't want to pay for it then you need to pay for it yourself. They've earned the right to say no.

Why don't you pay & get Netflix for yourself?

How come I never had a job like that.

Thanks for the info. If he likes Moose Jaw then more power to him. The comment about it being milder than Winnipeg is a bit puzzling.

He can live anywhere he wants. Why Moose Jaw?

LOL

The CFL should have put money into research for better & safer helmets. Put $$$ back into grassroots football to develop the game here in Canada & not freaking Mexico. -

The Ambrosie CFL 2.0 is going to get him fired, I believe. Sooner rather than later. -

Like Alex Singleton. As Canadian as any Californian out there. His Mom is Canadian so he got a free pass -

Sadly, this is the new reality all across the country. Less players mean that eventually there will be less Canadians to play in the CFL. As far as being a parent worried about concussions I had 2 kids that are now adults that played & I'd let them do it all over again. -
Well, I think Ken was an athletic qb as this OT run to win the 1961 Grey Cup will attest. As physically gifted as any qb of his day. Faked the 2 Ti Cat defenders out of their shorts & grasping at air. He ran a Split T offense with the Bombers which meant 3 running backs & 2 TE's with just a flanker & a split end to throw to. It was a run first offense. Ploen was never allowed to really show off his accuracy & arm strength under Bud Grant's offensive system. . .

Bastaja & Black for me. I don't think that civic volunteering or having 2 sons who played in the NHL should be part of picking one player over another. Players should be judged only by their accomplishments on the field to keep it a level playing field I'm not criticizing you TB4 as you're free to use whatever criteria you like. Just my opinion.

Do you think Alex Singleton was any more Canadian than Adam Bighill? His mother is Canadian so for roster purposes but Singleton never played a single down of football in Canada as a player prior to signing with the Stamps. He's as American as they come yet there he was he is Canadian taking a potential spot froma Canadian. So, in reality due to a deliberate loophole in the rules, the Stamps were actually playing with 6 Canadian starters not 7. Singleton was born & raised in California. I think that is a farce. -

I would argue on most teams the bottom 18 Americans are replaced every year anyway through trades, cuts & free agency. -

Do you really believe it's just Calgary? I highly doubt that. Kids aren't playing all across the country. The news media has brought this to the forefront with their stories of former players who are having issues as they age or committed a crime or have ALS, Dementia or Alzheimers. When former Ottawa Rough Riders defensive back Rod Woodward defrauded investors of millions of dollars, prior head injuries & concussions from football were blamed for his bad behaviour. There was nothing medical or scientific to back up that claim yet there it was in his story. Concussions caused Woodward to become a crook. Boom. bang. There ya go. Yet, do we see the same number or kind of stories in hockey? Nope. I'll say it's because there are billions of dollars being spent by Rogers & other media outlets on the game. as well as advertisers. Meanwhile, the CFL is small potatoes & an easier target than the NHL. Rogers, Bell Media & the NHL don't want stories about head injuries in hockey as its bad for business. -

Well, start telling parents you know to put their kids into football so the numbers can go back up... -
I'm thinking GeeBrr meant starting negotiations in January instead of March. That both sides knew the issues & there was no reason to (a) wait this long to start negotiations & (b) to cancel something good (CFL Week).
