  2. The BOG completely screwed themselves over with Ambrosie's letter to the players around the PA. Why would any vets, PA members, suit up for preseason now? As Naylor states there, the revenue from those games is all for the owners not the players.

    Top 5 Bomber QBs

    I have positive memories of Chuck Ealey, he was a very mobile QB, an exciting runner with a good arm, although injuries later took their toll on his career. He went 35-0 in college playing for the University of Toledo in the early 70's, but was passed over in the NFL draft when he insisted on playing QB during a time when there were no black QB's in the NFL, so he opted for the CFL instead. He was the first black QB to win the Grey Cup playing with Hamilton in his rookie season, 1972. A couple documentaries on Ealey can be found on YouTube, no mention of the Bombers, but well worth watching anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIWYoz-jts&ab_channel=HistoryMysteryMan

    That's brilliant marketing by the rapid test manufacturers. "Tested negative? You should probably take another one just to be sure. And another, and another..."

  6. Actually all of this has been discredited.. the AB players only filed on Monday, so they can't legally strike til Thursday. They'll officially go on strike then...

    Where was this law with all the picketing and harassment of people entering and leaving medical clinic dwellings? Response: Not the same issue. Not residential. We are trying to protect people in residential communities even though none of these supreme court justices live in the state of Florida. As long as Pro forced birth wingnuts abuse women and their families in front of a commercial dwelling all is good. This man is insane but hey the honor system of having people play by the rules is working fine.

  11. The players weren't on strike and were at the table. The league left the table and put out that email/tweet and then the players took the strike action. Yes the vote was in their back pocket. The league hit the red button when they were closest to getting a deal done. Pretty unbelievable given what's happened (or not happened) over the past two years with the leadership of this league struggling to even figure out how to play games. More cancelled games.

  14. Agree with you Jesse... Ambrosie is the messenger and delivers what he is instructed from the powers of the league. Have limited trust in anything coming out of Toronto, especially those connected to Argos & TSN media based there. I would have hoped that both sides could/would have come to some kind of mutual agreement. Neither side has gained anything with me, other than ticking me off. If the league walked away, silly move and negotiating in public is so very wrong. Adam, getting fans to walk the picket line, is also wrong as well... To all who are concerned with this, just get back and hammer this thing out. That's what matters most to everyone....

  23. Yikes. If you ever got 99% to vote yes for strike mandate you better stick to your guns and strike or next round of bargaining a 99% vote will not mean much.

    Trotz would be a monster sign for the organization. A top 5ish coach in the league. He regularly gets the most out of his rosters and are on the right side of analytics. Fingers crossed

    Well they wouldn't need this law if the plebs would just know their role and accept the **** that their betters force upon them.

    I doubt it. Moxies and Shark Club have the same owners so I'm guessing when they say "join us", they are referring to other locations/restaurants owned by Northland Properties.

    The next time someone puts up an “Elect Rom DeSantis” sign on their lawn, they should be charged under this law for displaying a form of protest against the Democratic challenger in a residential neighbourhood.

  28. Not every team has a rep in the negotiation process. It's Wade & Hamilton's Scott Mitchell who are handling the league's side of things. https://3downnation.com/2022/05/05/cfl-wants-to-eradicate-canadian-ratio-in-cba-proposal-to-players-association/

    Lowry anywhere under 5m is a deal, IMO. That guy is an all-hustle leader. Every single team wants a guy like that. They're definitely not overpaying him.

  39. The bolded comments above are a bit of a contradiction in my mind. A difference of just around $750K between what his stats would dictate and his actual contract is more than made up for in the intangibles he brings to the team (leadership, size, grit, work ethic, etc).

    Lowry has Captain written all over him. One of the few guys who seemingly never takes a shift off.

  43. There are 9 teams in the cfl, how many players are there? Easier for 9 entities to be united than all the players. Players don't have the leverage people think. They are more desperate than teams are. That's why they always get the shaft in these negotiations.

  44. Mack Herron #26. Anyone who saw him play won't ever forget him. He was probably the best "Little Man" running back who ever played the game. With his talent, he should have had the world by the tail. Instead he lived a tragic life after football where he was consumed by drugs & gang life in Chicago. Herron died in 2015 at age 67.
