The $300K advance payout to Kelly is an SMS issue and I have no idea if Rourke is remotely interested at the moment. Lots of questions including will Kelly be banned from playing at a later date and his CFL career over? Will the league negate his contract and relieve the Argos of the SMS hit from the advance? There's no way the league is going to give a break on any sms punishment to a team they're investigating. That would be an absolutely horrible look.

They say they are going be talking to the club about their role in this but if the investigation showed that Kelly clearly violated the policies, I don't see how there won't be punishment coming for the Argo's front office as well. Ya wasn't John Murphy implicated in trying to bury this too
May 7, 20241 yr comment_694885 Here's a possible scenario......B.C. signs Rourke.....leo's cut VAJ and he ends up signing an Argo friendly deal as their NO 1....The way things go down in the league sometimes, I see it as a possiblity

Not sure Murphy tried to bury it but when it was brought to his attention (allegedly) he kind of blamed her for opening a can of worms that didn't need to be opened.

If the argos are any bit as guilty as it’s been made out they should immediately be punished and not get support. That said I don’t think the league will punish the argos in a way that hurts their on the field quality.
May 7, 20241 yr comment_694904 So glad the league did the right thing (the wait didn’t look good, but in light of the independent investigation into the matter it’s understandable). The Argos whole organization is going to have endure be “Blackhawked”, but it will ultimately be best for this league going forward.

May 7, 20241 yr comment_694912 Here's something stupid: So the CFL has a Canadian QB internship program. And U Sports runs the East-West bowl, which is a huge scouting event for the CFL. And of course they run the East-West bowl on the first weekend of CFL training camps. So....a bunch of the Canadian QB's in the program are not in the CFL camps getting reps. And CFL GM's have to choose to be at their own camp or at the East-West. WHY?

Because it's the arrogance between U Sports & the CFL. That just tells you just how close they work together to make something actually work. Edited May 7, 20241 yr by SpeedFlex27

Murphy had an obligation to report the incident to the league and failed to do so. Regardless of Kelly’s guilt or innocence, Murphy failed to adhere to league policy.
May 8, 20241 yr comment_694923 Pinball is constantly adjacent to scum bags. Brings in Murphy. Had a whole crew of NFL criminal losers there when he was the coach in the 00's. Chad Kelly.
May 8, 20241 yr comment_694932 Doesn't Kelly need a work visa? Forgot the appeal, feds could just deny him the visa.

He hasn't been charged with a criminal offense so likely not an issue. Wonder if Argos will try to trade next years first round pick for Masoli or perhaps Ford.

It was previously reported that Masoli won't be ready for the start of the season so I don't think he'd be an option.
