  1. Oklapaugo for his pick return.
  2. It was that damned stupid CFL expansion that took him away to Memphis. That & being paid in US dollars.
  3. Do you think MOS will actually fire him?
  4. Firing Cal wasn't the start. It was who they replaced him with. A guy who owned a local courier company as GM & an in over your head STC. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
  5. Play Dressler at corner?
  6. When Wally retired the first time from coaching he kept interfering with the guys he hired as GM. He always thought he was the best coach in the Lions organization so he couldn't let go. He wouldn't let Benevides & Tedford do their jobs. Wally really should have hung it up then but his ego got in the way.
  7. Why are Stegall & Dunigan wearing bow ties?
  8. Double posts again...
  9. TSN just sucks. It'll be Suitor talking about Duron Carter all. night. long.
  10. Are you tired about being preached to about immigration & diversity?
  11. The Stamps are the worst 13-1-1 team I've ever seen.
  12. Those Riders are cocky assholes. TJust like when Chamblin & Barrett were HC's that team can't win with class. Just total d bags.
  13. He's from Transcona. It's their fault.
  14. Glenn should retire.
  15. You know , he'll be doing the Bomber game.
  16. Remember when TSN used to give us live stats as in how many yards a receiver, running back or qb had during the game? They used to show us team sacks. It's like they've dumbed down the brodacasts.
  17. LOL!!! That is hilarious. Actually it's sad.
  18. Duron Carter is the GM. He just traded himself for himself.
  19. If he was released & cleared waivers it would be too late for Bighill to help the Lions this season.
  20. GMs are interested in a lot of players. They don't sign everyone. It's going to be very difficult to prove. I think Kaepernick (based on his play) was already on his way to being a backup at best. Maybe even on his way out of the NFL.
  21. WTH in Regina? Are these guys finished? What about the coach who instigated it?
  22. Well, it happened to me in 1992. I was an insurance adjuster for a huge company in Calgary. Matter of fact that is why I moved to Calgary from Winnipeg to work for this company. Unfortunately, I went from a great supervisor in Winnipeg who was like a mentor to me to an absolute witch as a supervisor in Calgary. I had a personality conflict with my supervisor that went on for almost 3 years. I'll never forget I went on holidays for 2 weeks my last year with that company & when I came back she didn't talk to me for an entire day & a half only to say hello once & we all worked in groups. She just froze me out. It became unbearable to work there in the end. During my last performance review which wasn't good, I told her the problem had a lot to do with how she treated me & the stress I was under dealing with it. She got angry & said the review was about me & not her & I disagreed strongly. I was fired 2 months later & even though I had years of experience as an auto, property & independent adjuster I couldn't get another job in Calgary. I sent out tons of resumes over the next year & a half, had a lot of interviews. I became so desperate in the end that I warned potential employees about what happened at my previous company with my supervisor as I wanted to be upfront about it. Didn't do any good as I was always second choice. I knew that it was my former employer bad mouthing me but there was nothing I could do. It was blatantly unfair but I couldn't do a thing about it. I spoke to a lawyer about it & if I launched legal action it would mean spending money I didn't have at the time. Cost me my career so I sympathize with Kaepernick but it doesn't change my opinion that he brought all this on himself. Yes, I considered it collusion as well.
  23. Filing a grievance means Kaepernick still wants to play. Like I said, I don't disagree with him protesting but his actions brought everything upon himself. I have a feeling if he could do it over he probably wouldn't now. He has to be prepared to suffer the consequences of that decision. It'll cost him his career. I have every right to protest at work over something I don't like until they fire me. It'll cost me my career especially if my former employer refuses to give me a positive job reference. Is it collusion if I can't get a job in the same industry if my former employer says I'm a trouble maker at work or my job performance was inadequate? How is this different?
  24. How many players on NFL teams are going along with these anthem protests because they feel they have to & not because they want to? It would be interesting to find out. I think more than we believe.
  25. Lots of angry fans. Say the Packers sign him & the GM & Mike McCarthy ask him not to kneel & he refuses. There goes the locker room for the head coach & mgmt. Then if he stands, he's sold out. If he kneels he's a traitor. No one wins. That's why he isn't signed.
