The story was that Mack started a year and a half prior to his FA, to try and get him re-signed. Went to the end of the earth for the kid. Labatte was a well-known "Mud Bog" racer, and the team actually went so far as to help him try and sell advertising for his truck on the circuit. They did EVERYTHING to make him happy, but he still went home, 'cause, again....the girlfriend got preggo.

Love love love Kevin Smith and the man knows comic books. He could absolutely get them back on the right path, at least as a writer. DC needs their own Joss Wheadon, and I'm sure Smith isn't it, but he's at least a good writer who loves DC and would want to salvage their rep.

Or maybe the guys in the room know something you don't?

It's been well known for a long time that he knocked up his old lady, and that's why he moved back there...

so how good is the kid, really? I know nothing other than the one playoff game for Ott where he looked good...

It's not ironic at all...that's how it works. The team is playing with WAY more confidence, having Pavelec in net. They know they have a guy who's going to keep them in the game, so they're gripping the sticks so tight, worried that one mistake is game over.

If Pavs stays solid, and more importantly, if the team keeps playing with confidence because he's in there, Maurice will run with him...

Fwiw, Madani says we let Lochard go because Kienan Lafrance is on his way here in 2 weeks...

His friends.... And auto correct... Call him Trouble...

Pavelec been outstanding, for the most part. Should be up more.

What's his contract situation with Edmonton?

Quincy McDuffie released to pursue NFL contract...they're saying Cowboys, I believe...

Westermen?

Depends on what you think of Peach vs the guys we had this year....your assumptions kind of kill your argument...

Not allowed - won't be happening. They'll be hiring either from within, or someone not currently coaching. Guaranteed.

that's definitely a big part of why Westerman's numbers were way down. Other teams were able to key on him and effectively take him out of the game, because nobody on the other side was really effective. There were issues on the DL last year, but there's nobody on this board who knows enough to say whether that was coaching or talent...

Herb Zurkowsky ‏@HerbZurkowsky1 17m17 minutes ago One other little nugget for you ... #AlsMTL DL coach Anwar Stewart won't be returning to the team.

@garylawless don't expect @TorontoArgos to reach out to other @cfl #cfl teams for HC candidates before window closes on Jan. 31. Plan is to hire GM first @HerbZurkowsky1 Veteran #AlsMTL offensive lineman Jeff Perrett has been released.

Pretty slick, if you can make 'er work......as many have stated, whatever you end up doing, isn't the end of the world either way.

...don't overlook how important that water is to making the kool-aid....

Purely hypothetical, just to generate some talk...... Let's say Franklin pans out and is exactly what people think he COULD be...a real superstar. Like, top of the line guy. If Chris Jones had a crystal ball and knew that going in, is that deal you propose then worth it? I'm just curious what people would think, based on how important it is to have a great QB in this league...

I'd watch that... #WhichOnesBlanche

3DownNation confirms this as true...Condell now with the Argos. And, fwiw, Madani saying that the Argos tried to hire him in a similar "Special Advisor" role last year, but the TiCats blocked them on it. He's going to help with player personnel things, for the time being...

Short answer: People aren't very bright.

wow -- the Jags -- unreal.
