Here comes my nice comment about the mafia for the year. 

 I’d rather see us be bad, with jake/kola and the rest of mos old boys club and roster management, than see the likes of kelly or chris jones running a team with a bunch of guys who are dirty on the field and bad off it.

Don't forget it was John Murphy, also, who got into it with the fans at that one Argos/TiCats game. No doubt inebriated fans were as much to blame, but..... ...

A guy like Murphy who can find talent is a valued commosity. At one time, he was considered the next up & comer for CFL management & his career went sideways. Had Murphy got along with people on the teams he worked for then he'd have already been a GM by now. However, his personanlity & actions have rubbed so many CFL people the wrong way over tyhe years that he doesn't even get consideration for any CFL GM job that comes up anymore. Actions & words have consequences.

Self sabotages himself out of moving up the ladder.

Yes, forgotten is how we are 1000x more classy as an organization both on the field and off since the mafia came to town.

Mike Kelly says "call me and we can chat".

Has there been a change by the CFLPA?? Veterans are signing 2 & 3 year extensions. Cam Lawson & Ontaria Wilson here, QB Davis Alexander in Montreal. Bo Levi MItchell in Hamilton. A little bit of stability is a good thing.

Guys on 3 years are taking advantage of the guaranteed salary in year 3 provision of contracts that came into effect a couple years ago. It's why we couldn't cut ZC this year if we wanted to. He has 250k or something around there guaranteed. A two year contract is just as likely as a one year now if the player is established and paid market value. The one year deals will still be the norm for rookies and upcoming players. Nothing has really changed except the 3 year deals. Wilson on a 3 year deal likely has guaranteed money in year 3. If we cut him in camp this year we have to pay him whatever was guaranteed in year 3.
