Around the League: 2019 Off Season
Not to mention that the Sask qbs never stayed in the pocket either, especially with Bridge. They always had them move out of the pocket cause they knew if they stayed in the pocket it was game over. Yeah it's sort of like a couple years ago when the Esks OL gave up the least sacks because Reilly escaped all the time. It's a nice number, but it really doesn't mean much. Everyone who knows anything about the CFL knows that the Bombers had the best OL in the league the last few years.

So here's the thing with Lapo, he has some grievances from how his time as Bombers head coach went, he sat out from coaching until he found a situation he wanted to step into, he's already turned down interest in one head coaching position... So clearly the guy isn't desperate to jump at just any chance. He's trying to pick his spot and even if he interviewed with the Riders, I doubt he would have been all that interested in joining a team that had a lot of the same problems as the one he was head coach for before had. That's just asking for another black mark on his resume, which I think he really does want to avoid. He probably woulda stayed right where he was regardless, this really does come across as much ado about nothing.

Yes but signing a contract in bad faith can void a contract if it's argued, which means signing it does not entitle one to a bonus. Now the Bombers didn't bother to waste their time pursuing it because they probably just felt it was better to eat the cost, but facts are Durant acted like a child and stole money from the Bombers. You sign a contract you honour the contract, especially when you were well compensated to do so.

One could argue that he signed the contract in bad faith.

I like to imagine that Pelosi has a sensible chuckle every time she plays Trump like a fiddle.

It is hilarious to see how little Trump actually knew about the workings of the US government. He seems to have imagined the president as some sort of king rather than one of 3 equal branches. Turns out that when you actually have to make a deal rather than trying to bully people smaller than you Trump isn't such a good deal maker.

I don't really give a **** when we hired Lapo from the Riders, that was before the Riders went and pissed off the rest of the league with their Jones shenanigans and made teams less willing to help out rivals.

Oh I am sure they will give Gray a try at tackle in camp, but I don't think they are expecting to use a Canadian there.

That's what happens when you actively try and silence dissenting opinions.

Black Panther was a good movie, but it did get a lot of hype purely for political reasons.

Farhan Lalji seems like a guy who has gotten way way too high on himself. It happens to lots of guys at TSN sadly.

The other thing working against Trump is that he's getting so disliked that it's motivating people to actually get out and vote, and it won't be for him or the republicans making a mockery of the political process. Apathy was as much to blame as anything for Trump getting in, and that apathy is gone now I think.

It's also how the Democrats got Obama. It's totally different anyway. Trump gained support by empowering the bigots in the republican party. They wanted a nonPC candidate because it allowed them to be as ignorant as they wanted to be.

Democrats need an exciting candidate, and a fresher face probably helps more than a tired old establishment face like Clinton was.

Lapo might be disappointed but he's far too polite and professional to let it impact anything else. Honestly I can't see him even wanting that job in Saskatchewan anyway. No qb, no canadian depth, it's the same **** that got him fired in Winnipeg as a head coach. Throw in that he'd have to keep assistant coaches? No I don't really buy this "Lapo is pissed off" narrative. To me it sounds like click bait.
