Even if we're assuming this is true, i'm not sure I instantly cut a guy for getting into a fight without knowing the full story. IF he full out assaulted someone sure, but if he was just defending himself absolutely not. 

Somali drug dealers? Dwight Anderson set the standard for late night social justice.

Probably Bryan Pallister...  even a tall guy like him gets accosted downtown - Winnipeg is dangerous.

No worry. Pallister is probably on vacation in Costa Rica.

Bob: So Mike, any thoughts on the way your team played on Friday?

Mike: Well, I was fairly happy.  Matt looked sharp and we...

Bob: Sorry to cut in Mike but we need to take a break.  We'll be right back...

Bob:  We have a caller, Terry from Calgary, what's your question?

Terry:  Bombers suck, life sucks, all is darkness and sorrow .  <click>

Bob: Ummm, that wasn't a question.  So Mike, any update on the injury situation with Adam Bighill or Lucky Whitehead?

Mike: As usual, we're not going to talk abou...

Bob:  Sorry again Mike but it's time for another quick break.

Bob: we're back with Bomber head coach Mike O'Shea and we have another caller.  Chip what's your question for Coach O'Shea?

Chip: When are you gonna cut Nichols.  He's bad.  I know he's bad.

Mike: Umm, we're 5-0 right now so...

Chip: Doesn't matter.  He's bad.  Not one 300 yard passing game.  Cut him

Mike: Probably not going to do that

Chip:  You got a bunch of bad players there Mike.  Give me a call some time and I'll go over it with you. My number is 204 <click>

Bob: We seem to have lost Chip

Mike:  What a shame.

Bob: We have 1 more caller, I didn't get his name.  Caller are you there?

Caller: I love Big Chris!  Big Chris, he's so dreamy.

Bob: So do you have a question?

Caller:  BIG CHRIS <click>

Bob: Well, we've only got about 12 minutes left and 15 minutes worth of commercials, so we're going to have to wrap things up.  Thanks Mike.

Mike: Your wel...

Funny, but way too accurate. The amount of commercials is absolutely ridiculous.

Hopefully, it's nothing more than a lousy rumour. That'd be some shitty news if it were true.

I don't know about this rumour,  you'd think a guy who already is on the hot seat would avoid getting into trouble after getting benched. 

Always wondered about this, but when an old pro like Milt says "young players need to learn to  be professionals" does that mean avoiding the bar circuit altogether?

Sounds like it could be true (based on fairly reliable info). Possibly even worse than reported here. Not going to look good for Winnipeg...

Expect his release

My source said "Blue Bomber player" and if what he said is true, if he isn't released expect him to be on the IR at a minimum.

I heard it was Chris Matthews from MSNBC

Does a player deserve to be straight out released if he gets into a fight on his own time, let's play hardball.

only if he loses.

This is a weird thread. 

There is literally nothing related to this on twitter or facebook or anywhere. Was your source the store that is no longer at the malls? 

yeah it is pretty bizzare noting has been mentioned anywhere....other than here.....much ado about noting???....guess we will see what is going on and who is...and who isn't practicing

 

bleeped

Yeah you can say the media hasn't got a hold of it, but not social media.

Weird 

How long did it take for Nick Temple to get cut?

Edited July 22, 20196 yr by Geebrr

I want to say a few years back someone got into a fight and was cut instantly... can't remember who. 

I'm sure if their is any truth to this rumour that it would be leaked at some point today.
