Lawless article on officiating and rule changes
I think the idea of having qualified American officials working CFL games is laughable from an off-field logistics prospective - passports; temporary work visas; travel; time off from their full-time, non-football jobs; low salary paid in low Canadian dollars. They'll be beating down the doors.

Jones willing to take offers for #1 draft pick
That the Riders suck? That dentists in Saskatchewan are a rare thing? That barbers in Saskatchewan like to use bowls as a guide? That he looks terrible in Rider green? That he'll have to explain that his ride is a motorcycle, not a real hog?

Lawless article on officiating and rule changes
No they are changing it that if you get your first one right you get a third. It is already a rule that if you challenge twice and get both right that you get a third.

It would have been more surprising if he had taken a coaching job since he was scouting for the Riders last year.

Coaching Staff 2016
I was looking for an update on the coaching staff and saw Darren Cameron's original tweet. He said within the next few weeks, not this week or the next.

The Jets' app said there was no broadcast. I don't have SportsNet so couldn't check.

There is the possibility that he couldn't get an agent to represent him. Wasn't he the guy who emailed a bunch of CFL teams begging for a chance?

Around The League Off Season Discussion
Wally really took advantage of a player desperate to get a chance. League minimum is pretty low for any QB. From what I have read I think you'd be hard pressed to find any QB in the League who makes/made under $100,000 on their first contract.

Darren Cameron Blog (for discussion): "Patience Is A Virtue"
It didn't say they were talking about linemen drafted in the first 2 rounds. There were 11 OL drafted in 2014. Goossen and 2 others were the only ones who started any games.

Yet Another Mass Shooting in the States
And another typical day in the USA... Three Muslim men were shot execution-style in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In Anaheim, 3 anti-KKK protesters were stabbed by KKK members who were holding a rally in a park. One protester is in critical condition in the hospital. And in Woodbridge, Virginia three police officers were shot, one fatally, while on a domestic disturbance call. The officer who died was a rookie who had been sworn in on Friday and was on her first shift when she was shot. Yet another day to feel grateful for living in Canada.

Halischuk is certainly the easiest player to plug into the line-up at incredibly short notice for a road game.

No. It doesn't say it's retroactive.

They can't walk - they're under contract. Has it been said they took pay cuts? Or is Popp re-structuring things Taman style by deferring a bunch of salary?
