June 6, 201411 yr comment_54427 I hope to see some real effort from those soon to be well compensated employees, the city bus drivers ... I mean the players.
June 6, 201411 yr Author comment_54440 Yea but I'm unable to go so for your sake I hope it's a go.. Be a shame if they did ya dirty like that..
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54446 If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54448 If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then  Kind of sounds like this might be the only pre-season that is not affected by the strike.  I read that the players will not be able to strike by then.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54453 I think the issue is Ontario could strike by then but the PA wont strike unless they can all walk together. Then again, the PA said they'd be in a position to strike a couple of weeks ago and didnt so I dont put a lot of stock into it. Striking now doesnt help them much.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54495 If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then They can't postpone it. Bombers play the Stamps in Week B and the Argo play in Week C.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54519 **** televised, I'm excited that I get a chance to go see it live. **** you...
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54523 Yea but I'm unable to go so for your sake I hope it's a go.. Be a shame if they did ya dirty like that.. There is a minimum amount of notice that needs to be given before any union can go on strike. As far as I understand.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54525 Madani now reporting that they might begin striking Monday. Says a CFL team official rep told him that the CFLPA rep for that team informed the CFL team rep to beware a strike on Monday. Soooo.....definitely **** going down. Also expecting another offer from the league today, but likely to be more about health stuff and other non-money related things...
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54575 I have serious doubt that there will be a game on Monday. I don't think anybody truly knows how this is going to play out, which is scary for us fans. I have held a great deal of optimism on the subject until the past few days with the deals getting rejected quickly. That to me makes it seem like they are still miles (KM) apart.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54578 Nothing but a hunch but I would be very surprised if there is a game on Monday.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54579 Nothing but a hunch but I would be very surprised if there is a game on Monday. Â I'd be very surprised if there isn't a game on Monday.
June 6, 201411 yr comment_54581 If there is a game, Ford, Alexander, and Watson are confirmed as out. Kuale is "hopeful" as per Darrin Bauming.
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54900 Looking like the weather is going to cooperate too for the game. Maybe we'll actually play some starters as opposed to last season?
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54917 Looking like the weather is going to cooperate too for the game. Maybe we'll actually play some starters as opposed to last season? We did play starters last season, Pierce started the game, all our staring receivers, our oline everything. This is why I lost it when Toronto brought rubes and some second stringers and we couldn't even score a TD (I really don't care about wins/loses in pre-season, I do care about how the players perform on the field though and they didn't) It was the Hamilton game we didn't take any starters and got blown out 58 to 0. Those two games right there told me all I needed to know - poor coaching + players signed through YouTube. Embarrassing. This year will be much different I can feel it.Â
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54918 Here's the Argos depth chart for tomorrow's game: Â http://argonauts.ca/depthchart/game/depthid/10079 Â Coombs will be the starting RB but no Ricky Ray. Without Ray we may have a chance.
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54920 I'd rather have Ray playing tomorrow. Ray is going to be playing when it matters week one.
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54923 If we lose 52-0 then I get concerned.... otherwise I'm hoping the guys just get out of the game healthy and O'Shea likes what he sees.Â
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54924 Wow, if Sewell and Van Zeyl work out as tackles, Argos are laughing.  Dhillon starting at OC is going to be interesting, not a guy I would have picked.  Coombs at RB/KR/PR - still wish we would have picked him.
June 8, 201411 yr comment_54925 The depth chart is in numerical order. I wouldn't read too much into it.
