    I'm pretty sure Paddy Neufeld isn't paying child support or signing his new born for hockey or anything.       So once again having a baby isn't some kind of crazy financial burden.     Bunch of weirdos on here with weird responses so I don't think Paddy Neufeld is going to keep playing because the cost of diapers is so overbearing that he can't possibly live without that CFL cheque.  When our kids were newly born we were so damn exhausted that we had no energy to go out and spend any money, 100% focus was on the baby.   

    Also as they get older it isn't that bad financially,  unless you sign up your kid for something like hockey which most kids are not signed up for.    For ourselves we just spend our money differently now with kids then before when we had complete freedom.   Instead of going out for beer and wings,  I go to Boston Pizza and use kids cards.   Instead of buying a sports car like I did when I was younger,  I bought a SUV suited for a family.  Instead of flying out to Vegas or California with friends and living it up,  I drive to Fargo and enjoy some Mangos.   I'm not in financial ruin because I have to drop $20 dollars to send my daughter to cooking class tonight and then take her for ice cream afterwards.    It's a myth that kids are some kind of huge financial burden,  the reality is that instead of spending money purely on yourself,  you now are spending on others.      

     

    You exhaust me.

    As someone who was always under the impression that having a baby is some kind of huge financial burden.  It is not.    After having two kids what I hads learned was the main thing you lose is free time and sleep.     I'd hope most foot ball players have a plan for post career.  

    Seriously?

    I’m guessing you’ve never had to pay for childcare or required additional supports?

    Regardless, babies eventually transform into children, and then we are talking serious $ output.

    I agree and am not worried about that in the least. We will go young or cheaper at some positions for sure in order to keep our young stars here. Walters has a multitude of options in FA and hopefully scouting brings in some good kids as well. as they usually do. I suspect that the DL will see the departure of Thomas and lower contracts for Willie and JJ, the OL may see one or two of Bryant/Yoshi/Neufeld retire, our receiving corps will remain in tact unless Schoen chases the dollars, LBer will see Biggie retire, and we may move on from Rose and/or Alexander. Of course we will have to see who chooses to chase FA dollars as well. I think MOS has built a room that most would like to stay in though.

    Unless Neuf is making some serious cheese in a side gig or has job prospects lined up, he ain’t retiring with a new baby. 
    BTW, Haven’t we been calling for his retirement forever?

    Same I love his energy in the booth. It’d be well worth him going through a media course and refining his colour skills. 
     
     

     

    I actually love Paul in the booth even more too. If we had either blm Matt or Paul in the booth doing colour for every game that’d be fantastic. With Paul being on the panel when not in the booth. 
    Scianatti as host would be soo much better. 

    Gotta tell ya, I don't hate Farhan's PBP...unlike the manic Dustin Nielson.
