So did Bob Young. 3. #Ticats aren't reversing course. Nothing like compounding original idiocy.....

Has Pedersen ever demonstrated strength in any capacity? He's a pathetic yes man with a blatant homer bias, and nothing more. Man, what a nightmare development for the CFL.
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286808 Oh boy.. Just read up on it... How is he allowed to cross the border even?
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286809 Some of the players involved in that Baylor mess have already played in the CFL. The Riders had one guy last season an OL.
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286810 How can the CFL be ok with this? Hope the sponsors threaten to boycott and that there are some protests outside the Tigercats offices.

August 28, 20177 yr comment_286814 Just now, Jimmy Pop said: Damien Cox has supported the CFL for 46 years?! This is news to anyone who's ever heard him speak. Typical opportunistic Damien Cox... He's the SN version of Rod Black, minus the hair.
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286815 I get a kick out of Terry Jones piping in about Esks. They couldn't hire Tillman fast enough after we fired him. Not to mention Tillman works for the Ticats now too, no outrage when he was hired.

August 28, 20177 yr comment_286818 I'm hoping there is sponsors threaten to pull out and that there are protests outside the Cat's offices. This kind of **** makes me embarassed to be a CFL fan.

The Ticats are taking a chance on hiring this guy and putting forth their good reputation on the integrity of a man who doesn't seem to possess any. Having just recaptured the fan base in Hamilton, this losing season already grates on the nerves of many. Now, there will be many more.. I'm all for second chances but going all in before testing the mood seems kinda backward. They're destroying their fanbase. It'll be back to crowds of 15,000 before long.

Im sure we have all seen illegal things and never reported them... Thats a tough one. If he participated in it... **** off and die. I dunno tho. Not sure he should be allowed here either way. But to anyone saying there's no difference between not reporting it and doing it himself... Umm yeah there is. Rock and a hard place at times... Perhaps this was one of those times. Absolutely not. He was complicit and helped cover things up. He helped create a culture where this was acceptable. Briles is a horrible piece of .... and belongs nowhere near this league. Read up on Briles.

This kind of **** makes me embarassed to be a CFL fan. Let's start with Tim Horton's. They are obviously the highest profile CFL and TiCats sponsor. I'm feeling really bad for the fans of the TiCats right now.

I'm feeling really bad for the fans of the TiCats right now. This is definitely getting kicked while down. I'll refrain from including them in any of my slagging of the Ti-Cats for the short term. Especially because it seems like most Ti-Cats fans are disgusted by this move as well.

Chickenshit response. EDIT: AND WOW! Follow the thread. He keeps on going...

No one apart from a Canadian citizen "has the right" to enter Canada- anyone else can be barred just because of the colour of their shoelaces. Anyone who participates directly or indirectly in a rape or condones it through silence is equally complicit. If there is a Hell, I hope there is a spot reserved for these monsters.

And Rod has plenty to say about the business of other teams. He even condemned Justin Cox.
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286834 Not exactly a team sponsor pulling out, but they seem to be applying a bit of pressure. https://blog.barrys.ca/2017/08/28/statement-regarding-the-hiring-of-art-briles/
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286836 One of the greatest coaches I've been fortunate enough to know!!! Welcome to the #CFL -Willie Jefferson III Why am I not surprised?
August 28, 20177 yr comment_286838 couple Rider's supporting this...just goes to show thew type of culture they are harvesting there, and the type of locker room they must have...sad
