Mmmmmmm sure but his self promoting tours were a bit nauseating? 

Not to me. I've got no problem with any football player doing anything legal to maximize their earnings. Football sucks as a job and as a Canadian star who's real hard to replace, Henoc is one of the few players who has real leverage in salary negotiations.

Of course but it's not what I had an issue with it was more how he went about it legal and all. But that's just my style. We're all different.

we'd be in Tim Burke territory without those two.

have always had special admiration for the Bombers who were great players on bad teams -- Milt, of course. Terrance Edwards, Doug Brown, Joe Lobendahn, Jovon.

Henoc Muamba was a beast in 2013 and based on how bad the team was that year I honestly can't blame him for always spurning the Bombers during his annual free agent ball.

Whether or not you like the actions of Muamba (and others) to seek the highest return on their efforts, it is a reality of pro sports and in business in general. Soooo  getting upset is really futile unless you really need to vent.

Problem was he kinda wasn’t as good after the magical mystery tour. So **** him. He still got paid but ****  him.

Bro. You’re like on a roof top waiting for O’Shea with booch and a couple others. The double standard is wild.

I wasn’t upset I just didn’t like it. It wasn’t what he was doing, it was how it was doing it.  Fill your boots HM. All is good.
