Speaking of qb's...Pigrome has been cut loose in Ottawa....I wonder IF we still have some interest or has that ship sailed
-
Teammates might be able to shed some light on what was actually taking place..Some players are very observant and forthright, and if anything ontoward was happening somebody surely caught wind of it...The special investigator will surely do a lot of interviewing and maybe a few players will shed more light on this unfortunate incident ...I can't imagine any player with a conscience not giving the straight facts on a serious allegation such as this.... A sound investigation should come up with the facts....Time will tell and I'm sure this will be expedited quickly

I don't understand using the name Dalton Schoen as a comparison ??The guy looks like he's clean as a whistle and certainly doesn't carry a rep like the player he's being compared to....Maybe a general suggestion like, if a 'Bomber player were accused', would have been a better way to go

Cash settlement requested has gone up considerably....Nearly 300,000 grand from the argos is a lot of ducats to fork over...She must believe she has a good case for upping the ante and most likely from a lawyer who hopes to cash in....Nothing proven at all yet but the 'special investigator' hired by the league should be able to ferret things out,,,All in all it's not good publicity for the league no matter how you cut it but when you sign a guy with the baggage Kelly carries, you can expect that something 'might' crop up and it has

I agree. Just hope that's not the case.
AND we just don't need that kind picture being brought forward concerning a CFL club....It needs to be aired fully and move on one way or the other

Peterson most likely needed to see an optometrist when he played here,,,He kind of resurrected himself when he went off to the Esks., but never ever really reached his potential.....Another receiver the Esks obtained from us also had the same problem....until he got contact lenses ..Can't remember his name

I’m still the most excited to see what that Wilson out of Florida State can do on a CFL field.
AND this Cruickshank kid....Has all the markings of a real good find

Fagot........................I wanna say something but I'm not gonna.....Good signing though by the green guys.....and not that there's anything wrong with that

Yes.
Thought I'd put it out in the universe to help it become true.
Keep up the good work......but remember if it doesn't , I know the first guy I'm gonna look up..................................signed the Bomber Mafia

Hill looks like a really smooth. elusive type of receiver.... good hands and quick ..Hi lites are great , but will it translate into anything up here ...??

Young was a real renegade in his day....How could you not like the guy....He represented to me a guy who played with a big chip on his shoulder but also had the talent that went along with it....I remember him playing with, let's say an 'edge'...I always thought the description 'dirty' was a misnomer...BUT he liked it....One of the best canucks to have played in the Cfl

I think it's time to face the facts....the argo's have a 'loose cannon' on their club ...The history of this guy suggests it could be a mental issue....Besides the moral obligation that the team has , there now exists a criminal element as well....Until this goes through the courts a suspension of this player should be brought forward by the league ....Anything less will be seen as inaction.....I'm afraid Kelly has dug himself a hole and his history suggests this kind of thing 'could' happen again....The league going silent on this mess is deafening

I'd say most Argos probably thought it's not their problem & didn't want to get involved. More money elsewhere probably made all of them leave.
Oh the money is always a big draw but having a somewhat harmonious locker room to be successful in 24' would also help

They were a smoke and mirror team all yr tho...flawed in many areas...character up and down the line obviously from management to team leaders becoming apparent
ADD to that an offseason where some of the argo players picked up on what had happened, (we know something like this spreads like wild fire in a locker room) AND could be a reason why some of their players wanted to head for the exit in fa.....Can't say that scenario is what has taken place, but the sequence of events has definitely a stigma attached to it....considering the latest revelations
-
IF Jeffcoat's play was so revered, as Bighill says in the article , then why didn't other players on the club step up and shave a little off their salary to keep him around....Other clubs have done just that....I think the reality is that he was seen by many to have lost his edge that made him great...happens to a lot of players.. In that event you move on, which we have done....To remain successful in this league you have to make tough decisions....they were made and will continue to be

Kelly has had run ins with the law down south....Found wandering around in a friends house uninvited in the wee hours of the morning....The guy seems to have mental lapses, as in that case, he couldn't remember how he got there or why he was there....I don't know if he had one of those mental lapses in this latest harangue but that's up to the lawyers to determine....When you sign a player like Kelly you take on all of his previous baggage....argo's new that....Now you have to wait until the courts have their say and it is a cloud hanging over the club meanwhile....This is something that the argo's or the CFL needs....Send in the lawyers

I don't think we would have folded, and I doubt we would still be a bottom feeder but the whole CFL was in financial peril throughout most of the 90's and early 2000's for sure. Taman did not have any kind of budget or scouting department to speak of. When the league stabilized and brought in the SMS it killed his career really because he didn't have a hot clue how to do the job properly but was better than most during a time everyone was winging it.
Now c'mon....Taman had an indepth rollodex and 7/11 napkins at his disposal....How could you fail...he was wingin' it alright ,like all the others, most likely at a local restaurant .......................lol...............

A shooting everday in Van....The drug trade has an ongoing war that threatens passersby almost daily....That does not happen in Winnipeg, as I follow the local news quite closely....Sure the Peg has it's problems but not like Vancouvers....I don't know who compiles shootings ...followed by a stolen car fire to cover evidence, but I assure you Van is a helluva lot worse than the Peg in that respect...Just face it violent crime in general is rampant across the country...When one politician said the country is 'broken' , he's very close to the truth

There's all kinds of different variables when comparing one place to another...I'll use the stadiums as a measurable...in the football sense......Let's go T.O. vs. Wpg.......Winnipeg wins and comparing the facility in the Peg to a lot of other cities in the country ...Winnipeg wins.....so there's that....I find that a lot of the population in the Peg sell their city short

well...I lived in both cities...at different times...also multiple times....as well as a few extended stays in the U.S....and now have been back here for 18 yrs...theres a reason....just sayin...and I am not a born and bred Manitoban so no bias from growing up here
Urban decay in all the big cities...the warts...crime....poverty...it's the same everywhere....and I seen many way worse than here, and I have seen areas I get a lil freaked in...and I dont get freaked out easily
You're right on with the 'urban decay' comment....Every big city is suffering from it in some form....I find the bigger the city....the bigger the problems...it only follows...Winnipeg was , in the railway hey day, the third largest city in Canada....When the railway went to pot, the city followed...in some instances...I still luv the place because I was born there....still have most of my family and friends there...I now live in retirement in one of the most desired places in Canada BUT even here there are problems bordering on 'big city' probs....

The 'Big Smoke' (T.O.)..sure as hell is no panacea of places to visit....There's certain parts of that city I wouldn't walk around in at night...and if you think the Peg is bad, you should have a look at that....Toronto is suffering the same 'american big city' woes ....and everything that goes with that....I have relatives that live there and the're constantly complaining about ...traffic, shootings and the surge of immigrants sleeping in their downtown core....No T.O. is not Wpg. and I'm sure glad that it isn't

Kiss this one goodbye....Although we are missing key guys, the scoring effort has been pathetic on the power play.....With Villardi out this team isn't going to win anything....Perfetti getting benched is something Jets should have done awhile ago...I don't know where his game went but it sure wasn't helping the team keeping him in the line-up.....Down 3 zip to Carolina going into the 3rd is going to be a tall order to overcome......
