Fatty Liver

From recent interviews I think Yoshi is well aware he'll be in the spotlight for making the move to Sask. and the bump in salary he received, he seems very concerned about disappointing anyone. You can bet he's well prepared to put his best foot forward and will probably show up to camp in better shape than in years past.

I would argue in the current media market Canada has enough football fans for the CFL and TSN to do very well, problem is at least half of those football fans choose to follow the NFL and ignore the CFL, and the advertisers follow the numbers.

Just a way to free up a few more TC spots, a number of teams are using this tactic.

I believe Lawler was required to stay away from practices while on the suspended list last season.

According to 3DN's list of top paid returners Grant earned $110-$115k last season, missing all but 8 games he wouldn't have cost the team much SMS.

Her contract expired, after that the Argos can hire whoever they choose and are under no obligation to provide any explanation for their actions. That's often the stark reality for workers in non-union environments, there is very little job security.

Hate to say it but Sask. would be wise to put themselves in a position to be able to dump old Trevor Harris at a moments notice with no financial consequences to their cap. Rourke probably still wouldn't want to go there.

I'll stand by my prediction, downgrades in all 3 positions. If their replacements don't perform, who're they going to bring in when there's nuthin left in the pot? History shows O'Shea stands pat with what he's got even when it turns out to be deficient.

It's the effort and performance of underdog players like Bailey and Woli that help put and keep a team on top of the standings, the more quality players of this caliber a team has the better the results. Consider it the equivalent of having a solid 3rd line in hockey.

Didn't say Bailey deserved "big money" but paying the man fairly for his under-appreciated service always seemed like the right thing to do. In all 3 cases I think we can expect the replacements to be downgrades in ability as they have nobody in house that is their obvious equivalent, so the plan to get better in these 3 positions is based solely on bringing in new/unproven players that can somehow match or exceed the performance of league standouts, always possible but highly unlikely. In the end I predict the overall skill level will be downgraded from what it was previously, players that earned the big raises were in place already, so that counts as more money spent with no upgrade in talent or performance level. The lost players will make a noticeable difference, gone not due to declining performance as it should be, but due to poor overall salary management. .

Pretty upsetting when dominant performers like Grant, Bailey and Jeffcoat are given up on mainly because there's no money leftover to pay them close to what they deserve.

Those 6 games Stove played in Wpg. made him a legend, hasn't done anything since.

Bo Svenson, obviously he must be referring to the great actor Bo Svenson.

Looks like they found their FB.

Was that just a coincidence or a convenience? Saved money on the scouting budget anyhow!

That pretty much describes how a concussion feels.

Jamieson Sheahan is currently the only official punter on the roster, unless they pick one up in the draft or the global draft, the job is probably his by default.

I think McCrae had plenty of talent, but not the best situation to be in with Brady hogging the ball and the dedicated crew of receivers he was competing against plus Grant. As for wages, he probably played for close to minimum throughout his tenure, can't fault the guy for trying to make a living playing football.

Looks more like a leprechaun to me.

Don't see why this guy matters at all, it's either a civil or criminal case, the CFL can react appropriately after the official verdict is rendered, instead of trying to implement corrective action ahead of time.

The amicable Bruce Johnson!

Wonder if he'll have time to continue on with 3DN, from appearances it looks like he owns it.

The CBC posting this ladies picture coming out of court seems like a public shaming move, I don't recall them doing the same for the driver that caused the Humboldt Broncos accident or any other person responsible for multiple deaths, like the guy from Carman that killed his family. If anything she is guilty of being senile. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/driver-found-guilty-of-all-counts-in-london-ont-crash-that-killed-8-year-old-girl-guide-and-injured-7-1.7164595

Unless Grant wants to play in the UFL for less or retire, he doesn't have many options left, finding an equivalent replacement for his dynamic ability, experience and toughness won't be easy. If Walters can't sign him shortly, I expect a mediocre return game, much like we saw most of last season. If there is any money left, perhaps he can pick up a known castoff from another team for min. wage after TC cuts.
