Don't enable an addict by giving them the means to remain an addict. Giving this guy more chances in the league won't ever help him out.

These are good problems to have (being that the NFL are inviting our guys for try outs). Look at how many guys from Calgary have had shots in the NFL and the continual turn outs of great players that they have brought in. I want that problem.

In a league where it appears every one is on a one year contract... I'll take a system over some hot shot one off deals.

I've skipped most of those posts. Does someone actually think saying Marijuana is a racist term? If so that person deserves... a boot to the head.

I've never seen anywhere that suggested that Taman had great connections, great ability to scout talent, ability to draft, ability to bring in new talent to replace expensive declining talent, absolutely nothing. I've only read and seen him make trades with known names and sign guys based on some players recommending friends. It's ok to admit we hired a mediocre/crap GM... it's not like we need to defend the choices of Reinbold/Kelly/Burke and even Mack to a certain extent. It happens but to be in loser denial is fooling no one. Taman was in way over his head as a GM and I'm sure whatever he is doing now is much more perfectly suited for his level of talent. This is not a knock on the guys personality or who he is as a person. In today's world the level of professionalism is ten fold more critical in the CFL and he simply wasn't on that level. Murphy was never a GM but he was scouted and "desired" because he did have a great ability to recruit and find talent. It's not something that a quick napkin or google search of cfl rosters can do. As a person he clearly is an a-hole and sometimes you can have all the talent in the world but if you have a crap personality (see A. Brown in the NFL) you simply won't find a long term home.

Mike Kelly was giving a chance to be a head coach, do you think he's a better coach then Buck Pierce? Your argument succccccccccccks.

Lol based on the fact that he's brought in great players and Taman is only known for his subway sandwich napkins and occasionally making a decent trade. Taman has been ridiculed how many times over the years and given a pass because people feel sorry for him. If Taman was some great GM material and his only missing ingredient would be money for scouts... then why hasn't any team given him the keys and some money? Why are teams not fighting over signing the guy to be a part of their team. Look Murphy is an idiot off the field and nobody is going to deny that, but come on now any one of us could stumble around and make a few trades like Taman did and just build a team around players that we already know about. So based on your quote..... what has Milt Stegall done with his zero Grey Cups on his resume? Guy must be a bum. That Paul LaPolice guy you crap on so much... how many Grey Cup rings does he have?

I wasn't rating these people on personality types. John Murphy is (was?) a million times a better GM then Taman was. Tim Burke by all accounts was a very nice man and great guy. No way would I say he's a better coach then Chris Jones because he was a nice guy.

Taman is over rated, you don't need support staff to create a database instead of using a Subway napkin.

You don't sign him to an NFL contract and the NFL makes a stipulation that he has to get help before he ever steps foot on a field again?

I think he shifted a few years back.

The fans would riot. Honestly.

Wow what a terrible article.

Napkin shortage also?

This is partially correct.... their is a serious issue filling rural teaching jobs (and many other types of jobs in rural communities) because modern day society people do not want to live in the middle of nowhere and would rather be close to the big city. Good luck finding anyone wanting to teach (or nurse or many other jobs) out on reserves due to serious safety concerns. In Winnipeg they have plethora of young teaching candidates to fill out positions, almost an over saturation making it difficult for young folks to find good full time teaching jobs out of school. The issue is that some school divisions are cutting so much as well as political issues and really making the job less desireable to a point that the older teachers simply do not want to come back. It is not because of a lack of candidates... the issue is cut backs and terrible management at least in Winnipeg. Lots of young teachers are moving out East because they don't want to sub for 3-5 years before getting full time employment here.

Jason Boltus.... His Bomber Stats... 8 for 25 with 3 interceptions... numerous fumbles and sacks as well. Just awful.

FYI outside of Milt Stegall... I'd say nearly every guy who played with the BB from the States was into weed in the last 25 years.

I hope things end up well for your Uncle.

Ottawa ?

Did they say what a big time throw was? Is it a 2nd and long ? Is it a throw while trailing in a game?

If we are going to foster a project kicker I would rather they draft a Canadian and let him learn on the field rather then having Moutarda.

I'd imagine they would be happy with Arbuckle.
