It would be an anomaly for this particular preseason to have been used to evaluate a player. It seems more likely that Mitchell was determined very early to be the starter and Chris Smith and all the other were just filling up reps.

A bit, yeah. Thats why a lot of the garbage thrown his way is misplaced. Commissioners are just mouthpieces for the league they represent.

Anyone watching on TV and get a replay of the missed pass in the end zone? Was it dropped or did it get tipped?

I personally loved the Canada Day starts because I’m a teacher and it was just the best way to start the summer. Last day of school, CFL starts, it was a good time.

That's great, but it sounds like it's outside of his purview.

I love smacking Randy when he’s down as much as the next guy, but there’s not much he can do here and he’s been very vocal that he doesn’t think Lemon should be able to play.

This is a union thing?

Wasn’t Brady #2?

BLM doesn’t get hurt. He has been hurt for like 6 years now.

And these football fans you speak of all listen to the same type of music? And that happens to be the music you listen to?

And he made the roster. Yet here we are again. Hearing the complaints that the coaches are making the wrong choices.

I attack you because you say the same darn thing in every post you make. Sometimes 20-30 times per day. In terms of roster management, I've been on board since day one; you just repeat it so often and sometimes way too far in that direction that I have to argue against it. And then you make personal attacks but then deny doing so. It's tiresome.

You're not even allowing for the possibility that you may be slightly overvaluing guys you've seen for a handful of snaps across one or two of poorly televised pre-season games, eh?

No senior citizens please

Yup. Totally. I need to avoid falling into the old man trap of thinking it’s a bad get because it wasn’t what I was expecting. Big name. Tons of hits. Should put on a great show for the TV and live audience.

A bit of a letdown.

What is this a change from if not the starting positions from last year?

You can love the code of conduct and recognize that a player celebrating on the field has nothing to do with it. I’ll absolutely make fun of players who do crap like that, on my team or not, has nothing to do with culture though.

And Cole in for Kramdi.

I mean, that’s still 2 moves to cover one spot.

That only makes the cut more likely.

The way he’s being talked up around here makes me think he’s a guaranteed cut.

To submit to the league. They have almost assuredly done that. They just haven’t announced it to us yet.

We know that Cole, Moses, Petrishen are not getting the opportunity to play beside Wilson, Kramdi, Gauthier. It's hard to say they're being given the opportunity to earn a roster spot when you're not even trying to look at players side by side.
