If the GM is good at what he does, he lets the HC be the HC. If he's a bonehead, he steps in and mettles. I think Walters is a little too smart to do that. If O'Shea really believes that Hall is the best option, then the HC should have who the HC wants. Everyone involved knows that more is required this coming year. If O'Shea wants to roll with Hall, he knows what happens if things don't work out.

If the GM or president has to step in and make decisions for the HC, then its not just Hall that needs to go. If O'Shea has convinced the brass that he thinks Hall can turn it around, then so be it. All he's risking is his employment

A blessed and peaceful Christmas to you and yours!

I agree. Have it as two separate leagues. We play for the Grey Cup and the winner of the GC ignores them and our season ends. After a year or two, their league folds.

Ok, I have to admit, that was darned funny!

Actually, no. I have no doubt that Dressler is not "doing a Trump". I really doubt that he's that sort of person whatsoever. I'm simply lamenting the fact that simple humanity is now a seen by some (like Madani) to be a point of celebration. Feel free to bash away.

Actually, having a picture published describing what you are doing as "an incredible move" is exactly what someone like Donald would do. Different generations, different understandings I guess.

You know, travelling long distances to visit someone one cares about isn't as rare a thing as you might think, but it's a lot more common when you have the means, that I'll grant you. By the way, I'm not suggesting that Dressler isn't a good guy for doing this, I'm quite sure he is. I just find it sad when we celebrate simple humanity. It doesn't seem all that long ago that it was more of a given than an event.

I didn't realize that visiting a sick co-worker/friend in hospital was an "incredible move". I thought that was what people do. Sad that doing the right thing is now a big deal.

He only had 259 yards in 2017, but they were very dominating yards.

We can't keep everybody guys. We sort of knew that Bond was set for NFL or free agency. It's the way of the CFL now. Can't have the best of the best in every position.

I don't speak French, but apparently, Stubler is now also in the mix. If I'm reading the opening paragraph correctly, he's 90. http://www.lapresse.ca/sports/football/201712/19/01-5147661-rich-stubler-le-choix-des-alouettes.php

I concur. I stopped watching the CFL then and that's what would happen again. I have 0 interest in following a bastardized faux Canadian league, the BFCFL. Thanks but no thanks.

As soon as the GC is awarded based on plays of the year, I'd agree

Apparently, I am compelled to say that it’s the off - season. Didn't realize it until just now, but there you have it. Glad that's over with.

Booch, a quick question for you. I'm not in a position to dispute anything you're saying here, but I can't help but wonder if it is as straight forward as you've laid out, why in the world wold there be any doubt or delay in moving on from Hall. O'Shea has already pulled the trigger three times on coordinators, so the "he's too stubborn" rule does not apply and as a former MLB he'd certainly be able to see what you've laid out. So what's missing?

Wow, I almost broke my mouse frantically clicking the "Like" button.

Just so you know, I checked with a doctor friend of mine and he advises that you can suffer from an eye condition and be a complete tool too. So don't feel too bad.

What's the chance that this gets him an invite? 1 in 1000? 1 in 10,000? 1 in 1,000,000? I don't know, but I do know that the chance is still better than 0, so have at er kid!

You might want to have your sarcasm meter re-calibrated! Ya, it's always amazing to me how easy it is for everyone but the GM to do his job.

I sure hope that Walters gets it right this time. After all, no other GM has ever drafted someone that didn't work out.
