Some picks make obvious sense while others are head scratchers. And yet, Victor Butler's on the list.

He sounds like a real piece of work.

Even with Dinwiddie throwing four picks, the Bombers only lost by four. I have no doubt had Glenn been able to play, the Bombers win the 95th Grey Cup.

A very poor lapse in judgment on the part of June Jones if that's the case. It's bad enough your team is 0-8 and in utter disarray, but to then hire someone with that sort of baggage...? Yeesh.

I can only hazard a guess he was hired based on his overall success and this remaining half-season would be his opportunity to learn the CFL game, evaluate the roster, and then determine what's worth keeping for 2018.

I meant Grey Cup MOP. Or is it MVP?

Statistically, Glenn is on a similar pace to his 2007 and 2010 seasons with the Bombers and Ti-Cats, respectively. I would still argue 2007 was his best season and if not for Kevin Eiben, he goes on to get a ring and win the MOP. Kevin Eiben can eat a bag of dicks.

Even a person with status in Canada is not entitled to enter, such as a PR who has not met his/her residency requirements. And a traveller preventing or hindering a CBSA officer to complete his/her examination is considered a criminal offense, therefore rendering that traveller inadmissible. If point of finality can't be reached, that's a justifiable reason to deny entry and not someone being turned back "just because." Anyway, good on the league stepping in and putting the kibosh on this decision.

True. It seems like USCBP has its own set of rules regarding entry into the US. What I do know is CBSA operates under IRPA when processing travellers at a port of entry and "just because" isn't a reason for denying entry. There has to be a legitimate reason: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/who.asp Anyway, sorry for taking this thread off topic. With regard to Briles, I don't see there being a legitimate lawful reason at the present time for him being denied entry into Canada for the purposes of working for the Ti-Cats organization. However, I'm hopeful the CFL steps in and denies this move purely on the grounds of morality, integrity, and decency.

Uh, what cases? Please present your sources. As for promoting hatred and/or intolerance, that's exactly what IPRA covers, along with a number of other aspects when determining if an individual may be allowed entry: criminality, misrepresentation, medically inadmissible, conditions not met such as residency requirements, etc. When an individual is denied entry into Canada, he/she is provided a rationale as to why that determination was made. I'm not sure what "provisions" you think exist but in Canada where individuals seeking entry can be denied without cause, so provide a source. IRPA and its associated regulations are the letter of the law and where admissibility is concerned.

Wrong. A CBSA officer cannot deny entry to anyone "just because"... And what do you mean it happens it all the time? I suggest you read up on a piece of legislation known as The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. That's what CBSA and CIC use to determine who is admissible and inadmissible to Canada.

Nothing but cold mush in between his ears. Just pathetic. Then again, we know those two aren't known for the character.

At no point did I say he "has the right" to enter. Where did you get that? As it stands, there is nothing from an immigration standpoint preventing Briles from applying for entry into Canada for the purpose of working for the Ti-Cats. He hasn't been convicted of a criminal offense, regardless of his being complicit in what happened at Baylor.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/baylor/2017/02/02/ex-baylor-coach-art-briles-officials-tried-hide-misconduct-football-players-court-record-shows Jee-zus... What are the Ti-Cats huffing?!

Typical opportunistic Damien Cox... He's the SN version of Rod Black, minus the hair.

Unless he was actually convicted for an offense, he can enter Canada without issue.

Has Pedersen ever demonstrated strength in any capacity? He's a pathetic yes man with a blatant homer bias, and nothing more. Man, what a nightmare development for the CFL.

Someone needs to tell Mitchell to lay off the glue. Pretty sickening to see him defend this decision so easily.

Even in domes, he's struggled in big games. The 100th Grey Cup in Toronto comes to mind.

This forum officially needs a "yeesh" reaction.

Someone asked him on Twitter what his thoughts were and that was his response. No idea why that was included in the 3DN article, though.

And the ensuing outrage: http://3downnation.com/2017/08/28/cfl-community-reacts-outrage-ticats-hiring-art-briles/ I’m really hoping you guys let the women attending this clinic question Coach Briles about his history at Baylor.

If the team continues to win, that's how. The best thing the defense does is force turnovers.

It's certainly not a risky move based on the money or the term. Worst case, he gets waived and ends up elsewhere or on the Moose. No harm, no foul.
