BC at Edmonton

3 Areas To Watch

Number 2 Pivot: Who Steps Up?

BC - Ricky Lloyd and first-year Leos Austin Apodaca and Cole Sears will handle the quarterback reps in hopes of getting a leg up on sticking behind Reilly on the depth chart. 

Edmonton- Danny O’Brian, Logan Kilgore, Briscoe.

- One big observation in the first week of camp is the depth at receiver. Standouts at the position have included Joey Augustin, Marquis Bundy and Mexican additions Fernando Richarte and Gerardo Alvarez. All CFL clubs are required to keep one global player on their roster beyond training camp.

- Defensive Line: Calling On Another Bookend

With Odell Willis having another strong showing in camp, the big question remains who will line up as the other bookend.

- Linebacker Adam Konar gets to battle some of his own teammates after he was cut loose and quickly picked up by the Lions on day one of camp. He’ll start at MLB

Cheating the cap yet he fields a team like that? Amazing. In all seriousness though, circumventing the cap and charging staff for plane tickets....ban him for life.

I'm not sure that's what happened.  I could be misreading,  but it sounds like he was billing the team for his personal trips.

The one tweet said he was using the team money to pay for his personal trips.

Ya, Chase read it wrong... It was Kavis billing the organization for personal stuff. Brutal.

I really really hope this is the last we have seen of Reed in the CFL. 

Better management in Sask was good for the league (addition by subtraction) Reed canned, khari taking over the HC job, what could be stable owners with local roots for MTL, alot of good things happening this year. 

Tor  still needs to be fixed but that won't be quick or easy.

Maybe they are still under the cap now.   And maybe it was the team coaching salary cap and not players?   Either way they could six game a few players to stay under the cap and I thought the cap needed to be met at the end of the year.    Ie cut people to stay u see it before vet contracts are guaranteed

Khari is such a great guy. He has the success formula. A professional. 

Montreal has new ownership, with light at the end of the tunnel. 

While watching the Argos and Blue on Friday, I couldn’t quite understand how they could fall so far from being champs just  20 months ago. Well they did have crappy attendance then also. Solid Canadian ownership/management, like the Trevelings, would be a tremendous boost. 

There has been consequences to Reed's screwing with the rules- he has been fired, the coach has been fired and Mack has to be on very thin ice. I do not expect Mack to survive the coming purge and the best he can hope for is to survive the season with his salary. I cannot see how the CFL can punish the team to any extent. The team is staggering at best with a flicker of hope and the truth is that the CFL is much better off with a vibrant team in Montreal. Reed is done in the CFL and probably in all of pro football. he will be lucky if he is not charged with fraud.

There’s a spot for him at Widener College with no budget responsibilities. 

Everyone thought Chris Jones was the CFL's biggest villain, all dressed in black with his safe house full of practice players. Yet there was old Konsequences Kavis...hiding in the reeds while embezzling from his own club.

Well, he was. We need villains.

Jones stole money from the Rider organization, the difference is he put it in his contract and got the flat-billies to agree to let him do it.

I do think if the league does a financial audit & they find improprieties then the Als should be subject to penalties like the other teams would be.  However, your point is valid.  Would the CFL penalize the new owners of the Als? Probably not.

As someone who works in the field, it is the responsibility of Als management to detect fraud, not the auditors. This is a huge misconception in accounting.

I would agree with a financial audit as I'm sure kavis's trips etc are probably below the threshold for materiality and even then it's not the financial auditors responsibility to know if he's actually scouting or whatever he said he was doing on the trip. But I think he's suggesting the league comes in and does some kind of forensic audit.

I have a feeling he won't be there for long. Certainly not long enough to do much damage.

Bob Irving acknowledges Bombers doing Good without winning a cup. Interesting concept. Lol

read a quote from Mack today saying he was asked to be a "transition" guy for the Als to bridge the gap until they find a new one. He'll be in Montreal "most of the time" to do the GM work...

I read that quote this morning and went "Oooooohhhh". For those who want a TLDR, Claybrooks: "Not my fault".....

Even if that’s true, it’s the coaches job to wear a team’s poor performance and if you want to give it to players collectively or individually, do it in private. It’s what makes O’Shea a good coach.

About Kavis, he's an american is he not? If he's been misusing company funds, is that not grounds for his work visa to be terminated?
