I'd put an asterisk next to healthy.

I think you owe it to your team to stay in top physical condition, but to say that you need to find a way to stay injury free is just an unfair ask. This is a violent contact sport. People get hurt.

I believe you're dead on. If nobody knew what Nick Moore made, they'd be very happy with his performance. But because he's got the stigma of a high priced contract, even though we have very little to compare it to, we punish him for it.

As alternate jerseys, they make nice home jerseys. That's neither a compliment or an insult.

I bet the NFL paid Braley under the table to let those guys go. Slap in the face to the Argo fans... First of all, the NFL isn't paying anybody under the table for middling talents. Second of all, why is it a slap in the face? They wouldn't be recruiting those players unless they made those promises of an early release, so you have to ask yourself - would you rather have them for a shortened period of time? Or not at all?

He's not recognizable now but wait until Johnny Football and Lebron get their hands on him. I mean let's be honest, he may be an absolute idiot but he's also an absolutely dominant receiver. That's marketable no matter how many bong rips the guy likes to take.

You mean the ONE post in this thread where Bomber Diehard says cut him? Or are you suggesting that my comparison to Corey Watson equals 'hate'...? I wouldn't call your comparison "hate" but I would certainly call it ridiculous.

So much hate for a guy in the top 10 for receiving yards. Despite injuries. Jeez.

Brohm is about as much of a non question mark as you're going to find for a backup QB in the CFL, other than Drew Tate or Kevin Glenn. He's at least got age and experience that the other backups don't have.

Mike O'Shea says it's not serious. There you go.

He'll play. I'd be shocked if he didn't.

I get so annoyed by vague tweets and speculation like this. He went to the locker room. Maybe he has an appointment. Maybe he has to drop a log or two. Such ridiculous speculation.

Calgary apparently owns his CFL rights. If they are able to get him, it's an absolute joke. I think the rule should be that they're allowed to play, but you can't just change the rules midstream now. I don't think they will get him but if they do, the CFL is going to have 8 furious teams.

They should, but they won't.

How can you really apply it to a guy without a contract though? Player X has no contract, therefore is unable to serve suspension. If he is unable to serve his suspension, why should the CFL be expected to honor it? It's a catch 22 until the NFL says that the suspension clock is still ticking if you're not under contract, which it totally should. So if Brazill ever wants to play in the NFL again a team would have to sign him for year in which he couldn't play first? That is ridiculous. Both leagues need me to rewrite their suspension rules. The caveat is that all these suspensions are subject to review, so technically the NFL could lift the ban after a year even if he wasn't under contract, but I don't believe they're legally obligated to.

The rule only applies to players under contract.

Good for Dressler. I'm glad he resigned with the Riders.

They were very involved but when you're not the hometown team and you're not the highest bidder, all you can do is hope for the best.

Wild didn't get POTW because McCoil scored twice on D. That wins you the award every week. So shouldn't McCoil be the Offensive Player of the Week? TDs are not a defensive stat. What? Of course they are.

based on more than a hunch? Put it this way: if they don't get Dressler (which I don't think they're going to) it won't be because they didn't try VERY hard.

I'm honestly thinking Winnipeg is a lot more involved in this than we're being led to believe.

It's all about how creative teams can get with things to provide value beyond the dollar value. That's how Winnipeg got Nick Moore.

Winnipeg does pretty well in that regard too though. Hell, even Charlie Roberts is back working in Winnipeg.
