    Not really, the actual issue was you couldn't limit the number of Americans on us teams.

    One thing that stood out watching this is the broadcaster talks a lot more about formations and how the teams are lining up.  We rarely even get broadcasters talking about a player substitution for an injury or a player taking a few plays off.
    Either the broadcasters used to be much more knowledgeable about the game, or they've felt they had to really dumb it down over time.

    If he can get Maier going then it will be a real feather in his cap.

    2 time big sky coach of the year, the best qb coach in the biggest cfl qb pipeline and the best team in that pipeline. 
     I’d say this is the biggest fresh to the cfl coaching addition the league has seen in a long time.

    Pretty bold claim for someone who's been a back-up for 5 years.

    Probably based on the NFL study that indicated that was the case.

    Maybe it's the CFLPA pushing for the change, cause I can't see any GM's being overly concerned.

    Just show me the injury stats for kick returns and prove this isn't all based on anecdotes and speculation.

    Man I don’t like the auto scrimmage from the 40 after a td. Maybe if it’s a none offensive td and make it automatic after a fg. 
     I’d rather move the teams closer and make it slower speed for td kick offs. And or the no one can move until the ball is caught. 
     
    Kr is a pivotal part of the Canadian football identity.

    of all the times I've seen the Bombers in the GC, the 2001 loss still stings the most.  That would have been a great year to break the drought, all the pieces were in place...and we let it slip through our fingers...argh...

    Just scrap the damn rule and be done with it. It just allows GMs and teams to be lazy in their approach to scouting, drafting, and developing NATs.

    Drew Willy  Brian Brohm Robert Marve Dom Davis Max Hall Jason Boltus Justin Goltz Alex Brink RJ Archer Joey Elliott Buck Pierce Brandon Summers Zac Champion Steven Jyles Casey Bramlet  Ricky Santos Bryan Randall Richie Williams Michael Bishop Stefan Lefors This is the list that I could come up with.... a whole lot of yikes.  I also didn't realize that Brink/Elliott lasted three seasons with us.  
    During this timeline... the only QB that had a good TD to INT ratio was Jyles with  19 TD - 7 ints.    A really ugly time.

    Nope.  I had to learn, feel free to do the same and that's not just googling "constructive dismissal" and posting the first definition you find.

    I'm not minimizing anything, nor did I didn't say it is acceptable to me.
    This comment proves what I'm actually saying. You've already decided guilt based on only one side of the story. You assume that anyone who wants to know the other side of the story is a horrible human being who thinks sexual harassment is OK. Par for the course. Have an opinion based on part the information and then attack those who question your opinion. 
    Assuming that the contract has an end date that has passed, then the team doesn't have to renew it even if they have renewed it multiple times before. That's one difference between contract workers and employees. 
    Lets take Bailey as an example. Multiple contracts. Didn't do anything wrong. Bombers decided not to pick him up this year. No harm. No foul.

    It's not wrongful dismissal. They didn't dismiss her, they simply didn't pick up her next contract.
    Corroboration of at least the bus part of the complaint should be easy, but we don't even have that yet, but assuming the story is true, and we only have her side of it, it's workplace harassment & likely uttering threats.
    People need to stop throwing around terms like 'Sexual Predator'. It weakens the term so much as to be useless. Asking a girl out, even multiple times, and complaining that she was going out with someone else on a bus doesn't rise to the level of Sexual Predator.  
    Everyone jumping on the bandwagon to 'protect' her after only hearing her side of the story is exactly why they went to the media in the first place. Kelly & Murphy have already been convicted in the court of public opinion. The Argos can't attack her or the story without coming off as evil. IMO that's why we won't see anything in the press from there side.

    For one possible answer, see the general (but not universal)  difference in reaction to Andrew Harris’ failed drug test and the justification that it was a tainted sample/useless old school steroid no one would take/so minimal in reading it was effectively useless and the corresponding response to Leonard’s test refusal (and therefore unknown what if anything he was on) in Saskatchewan and all the PED Leonard comments.
