ProStarSports Congratulations to Ricky Foley. Rare opportunity to play
in his hometown & be close to family, he's signed, officially, with Toronto Argos
Well, isn't that nice.

I guess Foley is not a man of his word. Maybe the spelling of his name should be Foul-ey.

CFLDaily RT @TEAM1040: #BCLions GM, Wally Buono, says Ricky
Foley changed his mind, joining the Argos. Needless to say, the Lions are a bitsurprised
Well, Braley got his man..wait what?

Good stuff though, fuel for a rivalry.

Do we have a contract dispute?

Did Ricky stick it to Wally?

If Ricky agreed to terms with Wally, I would make him honor it. Even if it was just verbal. If they want out, take it to court.

Either Ricky or his agent can legally bargain for him. First agreement in is valid. It doesn't require signature right away for legality.

If he slips away, this is gross mismanagement by the Lions. If Ricky aGreed to terms the Lions can make him honor it.

really really odd. I heard his interview this morning on the morning show. Just listened to Wally and he says he has the right to do what he just did. Not much we can do right now. Good thing is that our defense has played fairly well for most of the season.

Well clearly I'd preferred if he had landed here, but I won't blame an athlete for taking more money.

Just he should have done so first, not go through all the rest of it.

He has a right to play where he wants, and where the money is. So all that "playing where you'll be happy" BS this morning on the Team 1040 was just that. The only good thing about this is we don't have to listen to Area 51's Foley man love any more. I'm sure the Agro fans will love his perspective.

Two teams — same owner. The media is going to have a ton of fun with this one.

I thought Wally handled it very well during his interview with Pratt.

Foley was to sign on arrival, the Braley Argos offered 30k more than the Braley Lions did...
