Looks like the Elks signed another guy for the defensive line. Good luck Bede!

Love the idea of a Marquee Player idea. No way that's going to cause any issues on a team at all. And it would be yet another bone the league could throw the Argos because they're they only team that could maintain a high end salary like that indefinitely. It would financially dry up a team like the Bombers over the course of a few seasons. I like the cap. Same rule, same problem for everyone.

Bear in mind that all this salary cap stuff does not come into play until the end of the season. Walters will have time to adjust things and as long as he stays under the "100,000 over the cap" limit at the end of the year, we're going to be just fine.

What, you don't think that having Fred Penner at an occasional game isn't a big deal?

For the record, I'm mad at BO. It's one of the reasons I don't like going to Saskatchewan.

ARE THERE NO PRISONS? ARE THERE NO WORKHOUSES? Ya, I see it too...

Why is it that with some posters, when I read their diatribes it comes through in Abe Simpson's voice?

He yells "BLITZ" before every defensive play

WHAT???? That's news to me. Never seen that bit of info come up here before...

If he's going to do that sort of work, I think that's the point, isn't it?

A question for the many who are much more knowledgeable than me. In regards to Bighill and Schoen, if they had not dressed and we had won, would they still have gotten their names on the cup and a ring? I'm assuming they would have, but if not, I can understand why O'Shea would have been so determined to make sure that they dressed and played.

After watching him in the playoffs in general and the last two Grey Cups specifically, I'm not convinced that he's the guy. Not a lot of point in having someone who is lights out during the regular season, but then can't keep that going into the playoffs. Also, yes there's a risk in starting Brown, but there's a potential long term risk if we let him walk with Collaros only having maybe a couple of good regular seasons left.

I find it a bit problematic that Bighill is actually having to explain something like this and say that the error wasn't his, because as has been said over and over, the issue wasn't really that play. Mistakes happen all the time, it's part of the game. The issue was that he had no business being out there. I don't blame him for wanting to play, again, I'd expect nothing less from a guy like him. The same goes for Schoen. So for me, the issue is O'Shea. It appears he sometimes chooses with his heart instead of his head. Neither of those guys should have dressed, much less start and it's O'Shea's job to recognise that reality, say no, and give the team the best chance to win. I think it's the same issue with the SEAL. For some reason, O'Shea seems to think that this is somehow a big deal. Being a veteran myself, military service is fine but frankly, I give not one whit for this guy's American military service. Now, if we had a member of JTF2 wanting to play, that might be another matter entirely, assuming he had the skills to do so. In either case, this may be why the guys love O'Shea so much, but if it costs us Grey Cups, maybe it's ok if they love him a little bit less. I really hope that those above him have a serious heart to heart with him during the off season. He's a great coach, but he's got this obvious blind spot that needs to be corrected.

metaphor noun met·a·phor an expression, often found in literature, that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to have similar characteristics to that person or object: "The mind is an ocean" and "the city is a jungle" are both metaphors. __________________________________________________________ On a different note, I have no idea if they are planning on re-signing Walters, but I would hope after Sunday that Miller realizes that O'Shea really does need someone to protect him from himself. I don't know if Walters would be the best guy for that job, but it's obviously needed.

Maybe just offer that person 50% off a year's membership?

I have to say, I've loved this loss just as much as I've ever enjoyed any Saskatchewan drubbing. And that Fajardo was the qb for Montreal makes it so much sweeter. I do though understand the devastation that the several Argo fans must be feeling today. Fear not though, for when the "crowds" of people disappear again next year, we'll be ready to send the CFL your welfare cheque. Argos suck - always

Fixed that for you.

I've been saying that for a long time, but you know, he's a nice guy and he likes football, and he bought someone a beer once...

Ummmm, he clearly did.

Agreed. I was assuming that the candidate had the experience and qualities that would indicate that they MIGHT be a good HC, but you won't know until they're doing that job.

So, how else would one know if a particular person is going to be a good HC except by putting them into that position?

you're confusing the idea of need versus want. The NFL doesn't need a feeder league, it would carry on just fine without the XFL/USFL but if someone can impress with some game film, why not?

I don't know how many failed attempts it will take for people with more money than brains to realize that there is no demand for it. This is the classic example of an answer in search of a question. High school and college ball take up all the "non NFL" oxygen so there's nothing left for what is seen as some sort of gimmicky semi-pro ball. But there's always going to be someone who thinks he's got it all figured out...

Dude, lay off the glue...

Fixed that for you.
