Westy Sucks

I know this is totally unrelated to the discussion but that last part perfectly describes Mark Stuart with the Jets. Sorry, continue on.

Yup, anonymous player speaks out about stuff that has been an issue in the league going on decades. And discussed for hours on end every year on and on and on.


 
He’s right, it’s not the most Ideal set up. Not sure why there isn’t league revenue sharing. I feel like that would probably help the league in general (though I don’t know the details of why or why not). But saying that, it’s hard to stomach giving up that cash when you see the revenues of teams like TO. The league could probably afford to give out more money for player salary. But this is the first time in a while that they’ve been in a position where they are making money on a regular basis. Yes it’s nice right now, but that after a long time of uncertainty and even some instances where the future didn’t even look like it would happen.
 But like he said, this is a game. If you really want change, then CHANGE. Do something else with your time. You’re in a position of privilege and bitching about it like this doesn’t lend you an ounce of creditability. It’s a joke. And a slap in the face to the people who have jobs that don’t include games. The fact he decided to remain anonymous, for me, takes away even more creditability. You want to be taken seriously but you don’t have the guts to speak out and stand behind what you’re saying? And you want more of money? Lol he must be joking! You want to be treated like a pro? Act like one. Yup it might end your career. But if he really cared that much, if he really wanted to change things. He’d take that risk. He’d be willing to give up his career to make the future brighter for others. To show others they can speak out too. But no, remain behind a curtain and keep trying to cash in.



 
I love this game. I love the CFL. But if push comes to shove. It’s nowhere near the top of my priorities. It is near the top of first things to stop if I were to hit hard times. We all have to make hard choices in life. My dream job, one that I personally found more fulfilling and quite frankly more important than the job I’m doing now paid me horribly. Like living near the poverty line horrible. But my passion for it and love for it allowed me to make the changes in my life needed to live off of that, it wasn’t easy. And at times it was really frustrating and extremely stressful. And when it just wasn’t feasible anymore. I made a tough choice and changed industries.

 
Welcome to ADULTHOOD you “professional”.

Supply and demand is a cruel reality, especially for imports.
If you don't like the way your contract is structured, blame your agent.

I don't feel sorry for Mr. Annoymous one bit.  If he doesn't like getting paid to play a sport, go home and work a normal job. 

I wish we didn't have two pre-season games in one week. That happened two years ago too. Its somebody elses turn for that. Would have been nice to have Ottawa split up. As for the days, Saturday afternoons in the fall beat the evenings.

Marshall won't be back.  He signed in Seattle. 

Pinball's a positive guy. He once flew to Calgary for the funeral of my son's friend almost ten years ago. He had met the boy a couple of years earlier but I don't remember the circumstances as to why. Unfortunately, the teen committed suicide. My son met him at the funeral. Pinabll didn't have to come & it wasn't expected but he did. Clemons even got up & said a few words. That's just the kind of guy he is. So really, why diss Pinball who is one of the nicest guys around?

Not a SINGLE complaint against these if they are indeed the design they go with! 

I BELIEVE. Quit with the personal attacks, dude. Have I ever said anything negative about you? Ever?

I think it's been shown the majority of fans want the classic look back. I don't know how you can come to any other conclusion. 

I thought for sure you would have said last second 'no attempt to recover' fumble by Cam Newton in the endzone for a touchdown? Too early?

Lego. I made it myself. It's really nice.

Why do you assume this?

Good for Marshall. 

Wowser, he's a Canuck!

Key is keeping Willy healthy, and giving him a decent scheme to play in.  Do that and everything else including wins will fall into place.

175K for medlock?! Wow I like him but that seems like an overpay.

So far from true..

I think that play says more about Arcenaux than it does about Washington. The guy is a powerful receiver and could do that to a lot of DBs in this league.

How about the coaches don't want Lirim back & the running back position is going Canadian.

Team might like him but we need to get better there, sherritt is better, laurent not only boosts the dline but covers the NI spot left behind. No more he did ok players, we need upgrades

You know what I feel better about the talent on the OL than receivers especially with Moore not being back. Receiver just might be the spot we are most lacking. I like Denmark but he can't be our best guy and I don't have a terribly high opinion of Adams. Canadians are OK but not game breakers so they need to be surrounded by guys who can be that. 

Well, this is news to me......
