  1. Fluid gait, exceptional body control and adjusts to the ball well. Interesting battles at receiver coming up.
  2. No one is saying that we ought to have the hanging before the investigation. There have been provably false accusations but the vast majority who come forward are ordinary people who have been savaged, and if there is one victim, it is almost automatic that there have been others who kept silent. I do not know if the statistics have changed, but some 20 years ago, about 80% of victims never spoke out, allowing the offender to move on to the next target.
  3. No way in Hell that the CFL needs a sexual predator as even a minor player, let alone a star. I have worked with raped women and even my late wife who was a nurse suffered because of this sort of thing on the job. The damage is catastrophic in many cases, and rape has nothing to do with sexual gratification. It is an act intended to humiliate the victim and reduce her/him to an object of powerlessness and utter defeat. Most predators have been victims or vicarious victims but that in no way excuses them from responsibility or consequences.
  4. CFL opens investigation into allegations made against Toronto Argos, Chad Kelly The Canadian Football League has started its inquest into the lawsuit filed against the Toronto Argonauts and franchise quarterback Chad Kelly.CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie issued the following statement on Wednesday afternoon: “The CFL is committed to creating healthy and positive working and playing environments for all those associated with the league and its member clubs. We take the allegations against the Toronto Argonauts and Mr. Kelly very seriously and we have opened an investigation in accordance with the league’s Gender-based Violence Policy. Out of respect for this process and all the parties involved, we will not be able to provide further comment until our investigation has been completed.”
  5. And the over-abundance of all-you-can-eat buffets.
  6. The employer has not only a right but a duty to protect employees from a toxic workplace, and can be named jointly in any civil suit if they did not act according to team/league/ societal standards. And remember- in a civil suit the plaintiff does not have to establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but just a simple preponderance of evidence.
  7. In saying that Bighill was the goat, I meant that he was the one in chase position- a race he would lose most times even when younger and healthier. And yes, i would bet on Houston being who screwed up, that was not obvious- Bighill's futile attempt was.
  8. Yes, Bighill was the goat on that horrible play, but from his comments, it seems that he was covering for someone who was consistently screwing up- probably the inside halfback on that side. Bighill was probably hobbled and ought not to have played, but ultimately it was the defensive coordinator who made the call.
  9. Well, well, well. It seems the signing of that other kicker was purely for show.
  10. I wouldn't tell my son to work as prison guard., either. I know enough of them to say that it is a stressful job at best and toxic at worst, and the inmates are not the only problem.
  11. Well, if she'd been covered head to toe in a dark garment with only her eyes showing.........
  12. I believe he was initially with Ottawa and then the Sask Riders.
  13. No one has yet mentioned two other competitors for the strongest arm to play in the CFL- Joe "747" Adams and Matthew Teague. I don't know if it was hyperbole, but apparently Teague threw hard enough to take skin off his receivers' hands.
  14. Remember what George Carlin said, " Don't sweat the petty things or pet the sweaty things".
  15. Valar morghulis. The start and end are both part of the journey.
  16. Sooooo...you're saying there's a chance....
  17. I thought that Teitz had some good games and made a few good plays, but his effectiveness declined as the Rider defence imploded. I wouldn't have broken the bank, but would have picked him up.
