Re: Saunders' culpability is irrelevant. Being associated with a player accused of domestic violence when part of league branding is standing up against it is hypocritical.

I have no problem with his release. Part of being a football player is being in the public eye, rightly or wrongly, they are often held to a higher standard than the rest of us.

It applies to any law enforcement official. Police officers need to abide by it the moment they charge someone. 

Actually, to swear an information, they must believe that the person has committed the offense.  

Any update on whether or not the complainant has given her statement, if charges have been laid or an information sworn yet? Haven’t seen anything from Jeff Hamilton on Twitter or any media release that I have come across.

Why are your shorts tied up in knots over this?  Saunders is cut & never coming back.

I’m just asking if there is any update. I have said before and I’ll say again for those who seem to not understand that I have no issue with the club’s actions. I have no feelings about his status as a football player. Not sure why your shorts are in a knot because I am curious what the latest news is from a human standpoint?

I don't know about the Bombers, but it looks like MBB is in mid-season form.

I don't think you're going to see any movement with the assailant out of country.

Yep. Unlikely to be extradited for this you probably won’t hear about it or him up here again. 
 

and for all the talk about what went down, it doesn’t seem like a loss. Schoen Jackson and Grant are seemingly all ready to start. 

 

I'm starting to think what can go wrong just might this season. Hope I'm wrong

I didn't write a one thousand word response to the Saunders situation. I don't care about the guy. he just threw his football career away for being stupid... or worse. My take is the same as always. We have very little luck signing older CFL receivers. Either they don't work out or something is wrong. We've had this problem for years. That's all.

Every team has to deal with injuries. 

Wonder if we bring Pipkin in if Prukop stinks it up again.

Seems like a great option. If it were up to me I'd bring in Pipkin rfn. He's started and won games in this league, already more than we can say about Prukop. Prukop has been around a long time and accomplished next to nothing anywhere he's been

As long as one of Prukop or Brown shows well tomorrow night, we won't bring in someone like Pipkin. Mancuso will be the PR QB and the two rostered QBs will be Collaros and whichever of Prukop/Brown doesn't get cut.

Agreed. Worst case, at 6'3 225lbs he can be your short yardage QB.

I could see Pipkin in SSK and or BC. Maybe even OTT. 

If memory serves, Pipkin has a rep of being resistant to coaching and going off script. Not sure if that would be a good fit for O'Shea.

Only 2 QB's available on gameday, I think Brown's lack of size is going to hamper him on 3rd down sneaks if they stick with him as backup, O'Shea may have to exercise a bit more caution in calling them.  McGuire, Strev and LeFevour made successful 3rd down sneaks a given, all 3 had good power and size.

Kevin glenn was better than all but Strevy. With a yard off the ball the qb doesn’t need to have great power or be 220. 

Do believe Dru Browns touchdown was from around two yards.

Yup, there was another Qb named Doug Flutie who killed us and a few other team's on sneaks....

 

Yeah, I was thinking about the "Dru Brown Is Too Short For Sneaks" thought last night and I was sincerely wondering (don't remember) who did sneaks for Dunigan and Flutie??

Starters did their own sneaks even up to Kevin Glenn times. I think we only started inserting the back-up when Buck Pierce arrived and we wanted to save him the extra pounding. Now it’s standard for the back-up to do the sneaks. 

As I suspected.... Dru Brown can handle sneaks, I suspect.
