Argos sign ex Bomber J.T. Hassell.   He was only up here for a few days before making the active roster, which doesn't usually happen, so I was a bit surprised we cut him after only a couple games.   His making the roster quickly might have been more about our injuries at the time than his skill though.

 Stand up guy. Feel bad for him he never stole a chance with the talent they gave him and the toxic atmosphere. Gotta respect a guy who isn’t even employed by the team any more but still stands up for his guys and takes the blame. 
 Not saying he’s a great coach or that he isnt. Idk. But he gets props from me for being a good person and sounds like a good leader. Hope he gets work else where.

He was hired by the Elks about a month ago.

Clearly. Rourke and KSB as pro bowlers? Yikes. Could both men contribute to an NFL team? Probably if given a chance...but pro bowlers? WTF.

I get a kick out of Rider fans. They claim Sorrells was to blame for all their OL problems, while conveniently forgetting that he has been there since Chris Jones and got exceptional mileage out of little talent for 3 years over there. Only when the OL personnel became an absolute dumpster fire of Canadian Jr. football talent did the OL struggle, but somehow it's not Ferland, Bandy, or Johnson all playing incredibly poorly that were the problem, It was Sorrells not being able to coach up Jr. level talent.
