Your point was about them being underpaid.

There are many people who are in the top 1% of what people can do, but don't get paid that money, and have injury risk. It is just in something other than the top professional sports leagues. Even if you want to keep this to athletics, there are a lot of Olympians who are in the top 1% of what they do that don't make that money. By your rational, you can't compare hockey players to basketball players, as the top 1% of basketball players make X, the top 1% of hockey players make Y, and top 1% of high jump athletes make Z. They all end up making what the market they compete in pays.

The real question is who does he bump off the roster. The fact that Harris, Oliveira, and Augustine are all Canadian, gives lots of flexibility here, because you can dress them all. So is having Harris at 85% better than the backup / special teams Canadian we'd have to take off the roster.

Isn't it just playoff money now to be on the roster? Seems to me I recall there being rules about not playing in playoffs if you weren't on the team before a certain date. Though that might just apply to players who were released from other CFL teams.

Makes you wonder if Chris Jones isn't already a done deal. He loves to be GM, Head Coach, and DC. Now they've cleared house to set that up.

Actually, never mind. You put your picks in on Sunday.

What do you mean for the 'win'? And you picked Hamilton.

Short turnaround this week. Picks this week need to be in by Tuesday @ 6:30PM Standings are below:

Yes, he was going through a rough spot. No excuse for treating people how you illustrated in your first quoted post. People show their true colours in tough times. Never really an excuse for being an *******.

Darby is American. Cheque is a Canadian spelling only (it comes from the French spelling). The states use check.

Here is the English translation of the French song Allouette. Appropriate for the day. CHORUS: Lark, gentle lark, Lark, I will pluck your feathers! I will pluck a feather from your head, And your head, Lark, Ah! CHORUS I will pluck a feather from your beak, And your beak, And your head, Lark, Ah! CHORUS I will pluck a feather from your wings, And your wings, And your beak, And your head, Lark, Ah! CHORUS I will pluck a feather from your tail, And your tail, And your wings, And your beak, And your head, Lark, Ah! CHORUS I will pluck a feather from your legs, And your legs, And your tail, And your wings, And your beak, And your head, Lark, Ah! CHORUS X2

Two-way contracts have nothing to do with being waiver exempt. They only determine how much a player makes in the AHL vs. NHL. Waivers is a sliding scale that combines age, years from signing their firs NHL contract and NHL games played. https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-waiver-rules/ This table determines when a player is no longer waiver exempt:

Does anyone really care about MLB playoffs outside of Toronto? And even then, only when the Blue Jays happen to be in them? Agree today would have been a great day for the Grey Cup.

I absolutely hate these things being tried in public, especially in the day of social media. Someone reports a bunch of tweets, those get jumped on and Cheveldayoff is automatically guilty and should be fired. I don't think he should be suspended now either. Let the process unfold. The meeting with Bettman is on Monday, it isn't months away. This is being taken seriously by the league. For those who don't think "justice" will be served, it already has on Chicago. Bowman has been forced to resign. Let the investigation unfold, and trust the people who will have access to all the information will make the right decisions.

Chipman played university football in North Dakota and was in a Bombers training camp in the early 80s. Never made the team though.

Trestman had a long history as a positional coach and coordinator in the NFL before coming to the CFL after always being overlooked for a head coaching gig. O'Shea has none of that. With all the coaches coming up from the NCAA, slim to no chance O'Shea gets a sniff in the NFL. If he really wanted to go to the NFL, he'd likely have to cut his teeth in a positional or Special Teams role first.
