The Martin etc era was much shorter the post bishop era had soo many bad QBs it’s hard to compare.

The cycles of violence and poverty are soo much larger and have soo much more gravity than can be stated. Even when you get out, you aren’t free of their pull. And it’s soo prevalent in pro sports.

We do, that said no player is worth compromising on these issues for. Not mike Vick, not Deshaun Watson not any one. I think with what we know right now the majority of the punishment would come down on the Argos management. Murphy should be barred from the league.

Those were nice too, kind of looked like college unis but I like them a lot better than our 3rds now. I’d even be happy to see the khari lightning bolt uniform have a come back for a game or two.

I wouldn’t mind a throw back to these uniforms. Better than the current alternates

Dark days. The passing game was soo bad. Yeah think he went Mia when k9 hit rock bottom here. Showed up a bit after he rebounded after leaving. Right on the money. Martin was big, but pretty athletic for that day. He had a big arm and mobility but didn’t have the accuracy/touch or the cerebral ability to adapt after the snap if the first read wasn’t there. He bulked up a lot after he left though. It’s amazing how good an oc/qb coach he became after. But the same was true of kerwin bell, dinwiddie, kingsbury and others. I didn’t like his pick up or the money we spent on him, but then we also did a poor job of adjusting the offence to him and even to our weaknesses.

Yeah and incredibly smart player. Soo damned sad, it’s always hard when guys health suffer in retirement, but his life should’ve just been getting good. Such young kids too

What year range? That’s super cool.

Who is this years marine? That’s the real question. Maybe back to a Charles Nelson Esq kr who also starts at wr? Goodspeed would likely be a day 1 starter on this years team even more so. But I can’t imagine he is ever crossing that border. Lofton is such a bad option at rt, I kind of expect it to be him. “He does soo much more out side of pass and run pro… he’s the best damned water boy in the league!”

For offensive humour to work, it has to be more funny than offensive. That’s the difference between a great bit by comedians like Chappelle, key and peele, or George Carlin, and un funny stuff like all the just a prank bro shtick, minstrel shows Jim Crow humour etc. it’s also about the difference between laughing at joke and laughing at a group of people in a joke. There is as much dark, edgy, and offensive humour today as ever. But when those things fail to be funny and target laughs at groups they get called out now. That’s the difference. Women doing math is how we went to the moon. Will it be a real investigation with consequences, or a sweeping under the rug with a game suspension served in pre season. I really want to see them come down hard on the Argos administration if this ends up being true.

Doesn’t exactly endear you to fans, which was the point our greenback friend made.

I wonder what the oldest jersey any one on here has of the bombers? I don’t have any super old, but it’d be pretty cool to see.

Soured me the way he floated around doing tours of being wined and dined as a fa dragging his feet on signing with zero interest in competing or being a part of any thing more than a pay check. If he had half the heart, and drive of biggie he’d be a sure fire hofer, might’ve ended up being an nfler with his athleticism and talent. Nice guy sure. But I’ll take an woli over a muamba any day of the week. Is he apart of the cfl pa or some thing? I could see him staying involved in football out side of pro coaching. Maybe even tsn.

I really see a lot of favourable comparisons between the two. Schoen was more under rated as an athlete. He can really turn it up and burst in his cuts. Gonna be a tremendous battle for that 3rd imp wr spot.

Yeah that might be the biggest producing conference now. That and pretty much every school in Florida lol. With Florida it seems to have the deepest talent, and the most scouting from cfl teams. It also seems like as many players league wide come from the smallest schools that few have ever heard of before. The rarest thing seems to be a guy under 27/28 from one of the major teams like usc. Can some one break down the talking points? Namely the JY bit?

More likely we are waiting to find out from the league what the repercussions will be.

Yep. Big sky conference in general, aac, cusa, mid America, mountain west, pac 12. A lot of really small schools in the transfer portal era too. Big prospects start out at top notch schools it doesn’t work out and go down to get starts also juco guys move up to those teams. It’s like the perfect low middle meeting place for cfl players. Also Florida state, central Florida, nd/sd and state.

Actually the harassment alone could net him a summary criminal conviction. Plus uttering threats (which he’s plead to before, said he was going to get his AK and spray this place up.) also making threats involving that type of assault can be grounds for a criminal conviction. Imop it is not normally likely for those charges to be brought. BUT, due to his history and public standing a crown prosecutor could well choose to use him to send a message / make a name for them self.

When the news broke about lawler it was that we had suspended him before any one even knew the details.

I love that he shared a high light link. highly polished slot wr. Could make a very easy transition to the cfl as a possession guy. Very much in the mold we look for in WRs. Solid size, great hands and polish, not an explosive athlete but a guy that should be reliable. Jake wenieke Esq, but shorter. Did return some at times but is more of an emergency return guy. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/k.j.-hill/32004849-4c47-7511-2479-7d5ec248bc17 https://nflcombineresults.com/playerpage.php?i=30141

Truth.

I think what’s unique about the riders is the volume of creeps they’ve had. Even over 10 and 15 years to Trevis smith. Stack them up over that time and compare it to the rest of the league. Athletes especially in football frequently come from bad situations, and are prone to having varied legal issues. Every one has a guy now and then. And some of them are really awful. When it happens on a regular basis with one team though it’s different. In the case of Harris and lawler, we broke the news and acted quickly as an organization. Which never seems to be the approach from the riders. Even when their guy refuses a piss test, accosts the tester and runs away. Kelly’s ass was grass as soon as it happened too, though we were looking for an excuse to can that turd imo.

Awe was max fined what 5 times last year? And atleast twice not fined but commented on by the league? The league finally gets rid of guys like Lawrence bad Marino only to have new guys fill the same role. How do you fine a guy that many times and not suspend for repeat offence

Yeah oday has to go one day. The list of stuff is soo long even if Marshall isn’t worse I have no doubt you could find some thing worse in that era. What a dumpster fire that all was. Sure seems like we are stuck with constantly having problematic toxic management and cheap ass dirty players kicking around. Idk if it was ever better or if we just never heard about stuff. But it seems like the league isn’t interested in taking fixing it.

Tbh under the previous regimes it’s not out of line. The riders tried to sign that lber who got cut from the nfl for a horrid domestic violence under **** n oday and the cfl barred the contract and him from signing more. Going back to jones and even previous admins horrible people have been given a chance by the riders or employed by them. That said with a new from out side coaching staff we can’t say if the toxicity will continue. I don’t think it will any where near the level it has in the past. But the precedent does exist.
