Re: Shawn Lemon Appeals His Gambling Suspension

The CFL no doubt wanted to send a message and make Lemon an example but the CFLPA has an obligation to it's members and in my view, it's best to not have Lemon get a Pete Rose style black list. Let him serve a one game suspension or two or a fine or a combo and not let that hang over him for a life ...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

How concerned should Ti-Cats fans be with Bo Levi turning up at training camp in a walking boot, coming off an injury-plagued 2023 campaign in which the veteran signal caller had a QBR of 67.5%? Mitchell, 34, was back taking reps with the offence today, but yikes, it's just Mitchell, Taylor Powell,...

On Jalen Edwards-Cooper: Dano wrote If Riders were to put Edwards-Cooper on the 6 game IR, they would have to pay him but it would not count against the SMS. By releasing him they may have just said something like: we have already paid you $20k, don't move to Regina just yet but call us when the sho...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Jim Barker makes the point that I've found a bit concerning where several prominent women have spoken out trashing Kelly at that practice, etc. I know times have changed from when women had to fear speaking out BUT there is an argument that these two in question should be given a bit of a reprimand ...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

In what world do you have 6 QBs to start the main TC after just cutting 2 QBs? There are six quarterbacks remaining on the team’s roster: McLeod Bethel-Thompson, Tre Ford, Jarret Doege, Malik Henry, Todd Centeio, and Woodrow Trey Lowe III. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/11/elks-axe-two-quarterbacks...

Re: League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly

When you are a contractor you can't sue for wrongful dismissal. I haven't read the statement of claim so maybe media is using the term wrong here. If the Argos screwed that up, they'd pay her out and avoid the legal BS going on now. The Argos are a leadership mess on issues like this as they should ...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB

Not that it means much but at least the HC knows something about him. It sure doesn't look like a better situation than he started out with the Jaguars and in some ways look worse. Is this because the starter Daniel Jones is nursing an ACL and this gives them an interim starter in Drew Lock with bac...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Interesting that players want the roster bonuses as there are instances where the older player gets released but if not for the roster bonus could still be a starter albeit higher paid than a younger player. Would Jason Clermont be a case in point? It's the roster bonuses for subsequent seasons that...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Trust Dave Naylor to get a hold of summary of the CFL investigation. It's not pretty for Kelly but unlike even some Argo fans, I believe Cameron Dukes is the real deal and can be a starter in the CFL. Saw Argo games on TV last year and this guy impressed me despite an error or two. https://www.tsn.c...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

I don't think Masoli was expected back until sometime into the regular season. You are right and that makes it even a worse scenario. In the Ottawa case, it'd look bad to part ways with him if he's not willing to exit but it strikes this observer that if you are hurt that bad, how can you possibly ...

Talk about bad news for BO Levi. I hope he's not done injury wise but he's sure had bad luck. Now waiting for the shoe to drop with Jeremiah Masoli - another QB who's in a horrible injury situation.

As Hambone states it's a suit against both Kelly and the Argos: The plaintiff seeks $50,000 from Kelly for alleged Ontario Human Rights Code violations and an additional $295,603 from the Argos for wrongful dismissal. The team stated damages claimed by the plaintiff are “excessive, remote, not recov...
