Not sure what they saw in him to have kept him around this long.

Lack of depth at the position.

The mafia some times fall in love with random underachievers. 
im guessing this is more and indication of his injury being season ending than giving up on him. 
Hope it means some one like whop gets a call back for the pr. 

I thought Whop showed enough in his brief outing to deserve a better fate.

 

I'm more curious about the timing of the McKnight release....why now?

Maybe he aggravated his injury

Zach Collaros himself lobbied to keep the guy on the roster last year so there is clearly something there we fans don't see.

Thinking the extent and prognosis of his injury most likely came clearer .. hence he gone

video up on TSN.ca right now where Naylor says Thiadric Hansen is very interested in resuming his CFL career but the salary constraints still exist, so they're trying to find creative ways to get around that. Did not say if Winnipeg, specifically, was trying to bring him in, but you'd have to think that we want him, if it's possible....

How annoying is this lol. They want to grow the game in Europe. We find a stud and then they **** the salary situation up

Someone shud start a campaign to offer him free beer for life.

If we signed Hansen we’d have 4 legitimate Globals who can play.

Excited to see the new guy this week #42 out of France via Laval.

You're starting to sound like people who blame Trudeau for everything....randy isn't the boss. He does what he's told. He doesn't just make rules all by himself.

I agree - but that said - he was hired because he sold a vision to the board of governers. 

The global program is all Randy, and I'm sure he sold it as a way to expand revenues.

I wish people would stop giving Ambrosie a pass because he reports to the Board. They give him a mandate and he executes it. He doesn't call them for all his  decisions. 

 

Have you people never been to a board meeting??

Yes of course. But pretending like he's some sort of tyrant is becoming a bit ridiculous too

But, each time he's criticized, we hear "he just does what the board says", which is not true.

I don’t think he’s a tyrant. But even as a figure head he’s inept and brings no value to his position or the league. 

The Germans Are Coming!! 

 

 

Our new Global was impactful on teams last night.  Maruo playing a regular role on D and teams too.  Our next OL up is also a Global.  Are we limited to only dress 2?
