Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

Speaking of Riders fans look at this real creep 

 

Maybe that S Stands for Stalker?

It’s Strange to Say the least.

It’s also a little bit Sick.

 

Also speaking of Rider fans. Just this week in a resort far far away while discussing the CFL a rider fan says to me, “ yup, we got the cup.” What?

RB “you mean Regina is hosting the grey cup game...”

RF, “huh.?”

RB “the riders haven’t won a thing, the city is the host to an event..”

RF, “oh, oh, I guess your right...”. 

Total misrepresentation, totally dim to understand the correction. 

Then the deflection, “wool, when was the last time the bombers won the cup? “ 

also in other not news but usual nonsense, Rider Dressler jersey seen at Jets Coyotes game......smh.

He should have Socked the guy.

Acceptable to rider fans. Ultra creepy to everyone else. Persistent, invasive, and i’ll throw in an assault charge.

What the actual ****.  That was just gross and creepy as hell.  I hope he cold cocked the guy as soon as the camera's were off.  What kind of mental retardation makes you think that is ok or even funny.  Oh sorry, I forgot...Saskatchewan.

 

Actually, I think that's actor Boyd Banks that's harassing him.  Although it's still creepy as ****.

Als have released Johnny Manziel. For what the Als gave up to get him, Kavis Reed should be fired. 

no kidding...gave up years of future for one guy who was a wild card at BEST.......and then you just outright release him (a bonus was due March 1st apparently). What a mess that ******* organization is...

More to the story:

Here's info from CFL.ca

https://www.cfl.ca/2019/02/27/alouettes-release-johnny-manziel/

 

Sounds like he probably failed a drug test.

Johnny flat out played the Als and the CFL. He knows the AAF is willing to let him play. And that he would likely have more success in that league due to the lack of talent and the rules of the game. "Unable to abide by the terms of the agreement" - and "Johnny was unwilling to proceed". That screams, he purposely broke the agreement knowing it would get him released. 

Considering the way he was traded, he likely knew the Als weren't going to be cutting him. Made the league force their hand now he's free to do what he wants.

I'll be surpised if he isn't signed by an AAF team very shortly.

The guy bombed (pardon the pun) in Montreal.  This was a high risk low reward for the Als. The bad behaviour is on Manziel not living up to the "secret" conditions but the business decision to bring the guy in & sell the farm now for nothing is on Reed. he should have realized that there was a high percentage this would not work out. The Als are screwed with a lack of draft picks now for 2 more seasons. Kavis should be gone permanently  today. 

I'm glad that he's out of the league and Montreal can move forward with a real plan at QB.

But I thought a coach of the year candidate said he was the greatest player to ever play in the CFL.

"Page not found" I suspect they took it down because their source was phony.

Manziel's twitter statement:

I want to thank Coach Sherman, my teammates, and the CFL fans. My time there reestablished my love for the game of football and the work that goes into it. I look forward to exploring new options within the United States.

This is the controversial statement:
