    My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

    I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

no way. the league was completely up front about how Manziel's participation had a bunch of contingencies. Reed knew the risks when he pulled the trigger on the worst deal in modern CFL history.

That deal is now Reed trading two first rounders and a canuck starter for an import tackle.  It's staggering how bad that turned out, and everyone saw it coming but Reed or whoever ordered him to do the deal.

I wouldn't be surprised if the OK for that trade came from ownership... bring in the big name, sell some jerseys and tickets.... hence why Reed still has a job...

    Dickinson on Roy Finch, when discussing his April 2018 arrest:

    “Roy has to be proactive. He’s texted with (running backs coach) Marc Mueller and he’s called him. I really enjoy talking to him. To me, he’s not a violent man at all."

    This quote from January 9th, 2019... the same week Finch allegedly kidnapped and punched this woman in his motel room.

    Finch. What a hero 🙄

    Re: Manziel -- looks like he missed meetings with people whose job it was to "keep him on the straight and narrow"

    I'm no Manziel fan, although I liked watching him play at T A&M, but he seemed to keep his nose clean since he arrived in the CFL a year ago. I'm surprised he missed these meetings and, I guess, the CFL does have a reason to permanently suspend him. 

     

    I wonder if Montreal wanted him gone and got the league to do the dirty work? That seems like a bit of a stretch.

    I will echo what others have implied... Manziel wants to play in the AAF and took the easiest out available to him.  I'm not surprised he missed the meetings at all, he likely did it on purpose so that he could have his way and be able to go play in the other league.  I guess time will tell weather he actually signs down there, but it seems awfully convenient for him that things went down the way they did.

    Good for Lulay getting out before being to beat up,   a real good guy and definitely the type of QB that the league needs more of. 

    Lulay is getting a lot of accolades and messages from all over the league, and he deserves them. It’s just too bad he is so beat up because he brings a lot to the CFL huddle.

    Along with his approach to life, it just seems to be JM  might be getting some bad advice on this but that's my bias in being a huge CFL fan.

    As far as I know, a few QB's have carved out pretty nice careers in the CFL.

    Not to say that he has the talent/mindset to do it but geez give it the old college try man.
