Hodge reports that Michael Chris-Ike is Winnipeg bound in a couple days after his workout with the Saints didn't result in a contract.

From one Albertan to another. If you don't like it...

Which will be renamed “I Get Paid to Love to Read Month.”

I live for the annual complaining about lack of coverage....

Comparing Mike Miller to Wayne Greztky and Micheal Jordan is a little over the top. After being undrafted, they did not have to scrap their way to make a professional roster. Miller is the perfect candidate to coach.

Also the entire point of the suspension is that he's not suitable to be in the workplace until he receives counselling and shows improvement.

I feel like the whole of the MLSE has that attitude towards the CFL. 

Pinball. 

If the Argos were to just come out and be decisive about this I think people would have less issues with it. Do I think that he should still be employed based on his actions? Probably not but the league has meted out a 9 game suspension.
 
If the Argos were to say something like

"Kelly has been suspended by the league for his actions for 9 games. We have discussed the matter with him and we are confident that he will exceed all the requirements for his reinstatement after week 9. Per the CBA, he is allowed to join in our preseason activities and he will be a full participant as our expectation is he will be our QB in week 10".
I think that would make them seem more reasonable... and that they are actually taking any of this seriously.
It's the media silence, and then him just slinking into practice that people are having issues with.

I just don't understand why the Argos would want Kelly around, in a public setting anyways....talk about distraction. Whoever thought that was a good idea is just dumb. The media attention was already going to be going on and on about Kelly (rightfully so) and they just tee'd up some more juicy headlines. 
Just idiotic 

It literally seems like he thinks the league works for him not he works for the league.
Also in how he presents himself, I'd replace the word honorary with status.

It's time to start asking questions of MLSE. Like, why do Murphy and Pinball still have jobs? 
I expect little from Ambrosie. He's been such a useless commish. It's like he believes it's an honorary title or something. 

Yup Pinball could have said something like:
While CK works on things he needs to work on as a human being, we want our team to be lasered focus with minimal distractions in preparing for this coming season so respecting that CK will remain offsite until his suspension is lifted.  

In case anyone missed it, Osh was asked about the Argos/Kelly situation yesterday: 

 
WEIGHING IN: O’Shea was asked after practice Wednesday about the nine-game suspension levied against Toronto Argonauts QB Chad Kelly. He said he would not comment on the length of suspension because ‘that’s not in my wheelhouse.’
“But I do feel very strongly that the women that work in our league deserve a safe workplace and deserve to be respected — everybody deserves to be respected and have a safe workplace,” he said. “The women in our league, and there’s a lot of them, really deserve to feel safe coming to work every day. That kind of question should be posed to the women in our organization to see if they do feel safe and respected in this workplace — I believe they do, but far be it for me to answer that. They certainly deserve our support and I know organizationally we make good decisions.”

I remember watching an add with his sons Matthew and Brady and slowly looking over to my wife and mumbling boy he aint at his playing weight.

What an insanely absurd thing to write after a workplace investigation was completed and especially coming from someone who doesn’t work there. 
 

In most cases, it's not about expecting the victims to want to stay,  it's about the complex reasons of why and how victims find it hard to leave abusive/toxic environments.

It can actually. Jackson is a perfect example of a bad rookie. Most old boys clubs let the wrong young guys in for the wrong reasons. 
 That said I don’t remotely see a comparable volume of complaints about young guys as old guys. 
 The core of the issue has been rostering and starting guys who wouldn’t make any other roster in the league. Be they old, jack thomas and kola or young like Sheahan and schmekel. 
 Rostering DIs only to not use them at all goes way back to the pre 19 years under the Mafia. As does starting guys no one else would look at. Though our talent level at times back then left us wanting for better options. 

In court?
