Apologize? What is this article even about?
The quote is referring to James Butler and how they’re not ashamed that they tried to upgrade him.
Incredibly out of context quote for the headline. Not in any way a reference to the Bombers.

He was definitely wasted on something.

Probably based on the NFL study that indicated that was the case.
Maybe it's the CFLPA pushing for the change, cause I can't see any GM's being overly concerned.
Yes, people blaming the media are out to lunch. The league doesn't want to make the game less exciting. They know people react poorly to these types of changes.

Awwww sounds like someone's got a case of the hurt fee fees because 3rd down nation is called what they are... fanboi bloggers play acting at being real media
I think some of us just appreciate the extra content. The only thing more embarrassing than 3down’s terrible takes is forum posters who don’t even have a blog trying to Uncle Rico from the sidelines, “if only I had a blog, I could write way better than them. I just know it!”

Leo Lewis rushing yards per carry season total over his career:
6.1
0
6.8
7.0
6.5
8.4
7.1
6.4
5.2
7.4
5.3
4.1
If he hadnt of split carries with Gerry James for the bulk of his career he may have ran for a million yards. Bud Grant also referred to him as the best football player PERIOD that he ever saw. Leo Lewis 1st, and then everyone else.
Lewis can have 2nd behind Charlie for those reasons. And then everyone else.

Article doesn't lead me to believe they are in debt with $7M in reserves.
What they are saying is:
- They don't know how to restore the season ticket base
- They don't know how to restore the standing in the community
- Improve infrastructure
Rather then sell, get rid of the board and bring in people who can fix points 1 and 2. Don't need to sell the club to do that. For point 3, I find it unlikely a private owner is going to invest a bunch of their own money in infrastructure.
The article also mentions they are looking for someone who would invest in the club more than someone who would pay bigger money for the team.

And you wonder why football fans who favour the NFL laugh at the CFL?? This is a joke.
Dude, this is literally happening in reverse this year.
Qwan'tez Stiggers played a year for some random indoor league and then for the Argos and is now entering the NFL draft. Why is the CFL a joke?

We haven't had a great QB since Khari, and even that was short lived. I'm personally not willing to let Collaros go until it's retirement time.

some real "nose of the plane is pointed straight down" takes in this thread for sure.... cripes. Not much in the way of expectations for '24...
I expect a first place finish.
All teams in the play-offs have a chance after that point.

So you trying to say WJ or JJ taking reps in lieu of Bennett...Schmeckle...Thomas is a downgrade??
That's almost laughable...but keep trying to defend the lunacy of not using the rule
lol. WJ and JJ are already on the field. No need to exaggerate your point. It would of had to be Haba or Fox coming on.

I'm not talking experienced depth. I'm talking anything to show from the past two drafts. It's a total departure from how they've steadily built the OL during this entire regime going on a decade having depth ready to play when they've needed it.
Well, you’re not wrong about that. Our drafts since 2019 have been pretty disappointing.

Hasn't always been. We literally have nobody in the Eli/Dobson spots from a year ago. Major gamble that rookie will be able to play right away. No one in the queue like we've had before to cover off for guys missing most of seasons and limited space to add in terms of $$$. An issue.
We'll have one of Eli/Dobson and then yeah, probably a rookie as the second depth spot for the three interior positions.
I certainly don't see this as a gamble. You can't expect to have experienced depth on you bench 2 spots deep for multiple years.

More concerned about OL.
Imagine 1-2 injuries on the Canadians.
Yikes.
Lol. That's always the case.

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

Keep checking this thread for Bomber free agent signings and see nothing but jersey talk.
Well, your first mistake is thinking there are going to be free agent signings.

Everyone lost their minds when they brought in Peterson, what a great pickup! I was the only one pointing out his hands sucked...
iirc, he started off hot and I got really excited, but then....

He sent my son a signed photo. He was pure class.
He worked so hard on the dline bible. I followed him on Twitter just to see all the all the work he put into it.
He sent me a photo that I still have up on the shelf. I've also followed him all this time and am shocked to here this news.
I've always been a fan.

Didn’t we employ a guy who tried to drown his wife in a bathtub? Isn’t one of our star players a guy who makes sure he isn’t super thirsty before he drives a car?
We 100% have many of our own examples. I don't think you can legitimately make this argument for anyone employed under the current Bomber management, however.

The fact that the league hasn't said boo word one yet about Kelly and the Argos is classic CFL. Not so much as a whisper about "we are aware of the allegations and are looking into next steps"...... SOMETHING....
Right there in the 3down article:
“The league is aware of the legal claim that has been made by a former employee against the Toronto Argonauts and Mr. Kelly. The League is currently reviewing this matter but has no further comment at this time.”
