  1. 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.
  2. When the news broke about lawler it was that we had suspended him before any one even knew the details.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. That’s a pretty sweet idea. I’d love to see some thing like that with seat numbers on jerseys for season ticket holders on a premium plan Biggie wasn’t the hero. But he wasn’t the goat. He’s right, he was in no way designed to be the deep man or man lock in that situation. He tried to bail out a cover mistake. Which happens when you’re in cover 0 soo much. I might take a look at the angles available for a break down on that play, in betting Houston was the one who blew cover.
  9. Thanks. I remember that I thought some thing actually negative had happened on twitter. Thats nothing to be riled up about imo. It’s hard enough for guys to retire, to say I’m not healthy enough in a gc I don’t expect any player to make that call. That’s the problem with having final say be the players. Coaches trainers and drs need to protect the team in positions like that.
  10. Yep. idk how or why that keeps happening.
  11. 100%. A lot of industries are male dominated high testosterone etc. manufacturing, especially welding and fabrication. Mining, oil rigs etc. sexual harassment and worse are never a risk associated with work. That’s just an awful and dangerous standard. Yeah, really pathetic and disappointing. If the Argos are smart they’ll give her every dollar she wants and get a none disclosure signed asap. If that doesn’t happen I fully expect things to get worse and punishment to be severe. That step doesn’t just happen in a vacuum either imo. If they jumped to that, I would suspect they have a much deeper issue with more victims.
  12. The person who was fired for refusing the advances of a player. You’re blinded by double blue glasses. Athletes get named because when they don’t, teams get things swept under the rug. Kelly has skated soo many times already on even a trial by media. Kelly has had more second chances than any one in the league. Guys a dumpster fire.
  13. Any synopsis of what he said? glad Sergio is back. Hope they either let him punt or get a really good punter and kick off guy.
  14. No it isn’t. Kelly is a creep with a long history of offense. The system is in place to protect victims, not predatory losers. As it should be.
  15. Tbh, Kelly does not get the benefit of the doubt. Dude has been in soo much trouble soo often and kicked off soo many teams, I presume things are worse than we are hearing. Screw the Argos too.
  16. He did. and that’s why he’s worth bringing in on a min type deal. 3 cfl training camps so far, he needs to come in and probably needs to be an instant roster guy to stick.
  17. Yeah. And if not, no big loss. He’s got upside but he’s played and been to camps up here a few times and not developed.
  18. I’d take him too lol. Like this pick up a lot though. A ton of high level experience with tons of versatility. With the athleticism to play te and the physicality to play guard and start at both for bama no less. Says a lot about him not transferring to start else where and try to get reps for a better nfl look. Not hard to see his fit here. Be fun to see him in camp. Also be interesting to see if he’s a project or more pro ready. Yeah. Soo sad, hope they get every thing they need. He’s got an incredibly bright career still as a coach too. Hope he can recover fully.
  19. Joe Gibbs with a 10k donation, pure class. Iirc he only had mike for a year or two. Heart breaking though and makes me wonder how it isn’t covered. He got deep into his pension with all his nfl games.
  20. If he does come back at that point though he will be a hot commodity that several teams offer big dollars for.
  21. I’ve pondered this a few times, going back and forth and honestly idk what I think would’ve happened in that scenario. But I’m sure glad we didn’t have to find out. High floor low ceiling. Massive achevment bringing the team back to some financial stability and quality on the field. But couldn’t get out of the way for more. Tbh same goes for Ritchie and taman. Though we still should’ve won 01 based on freaking talent alone. That roster was insane. Basically every single asset that impacts the quality of the team on the field was squandered. Free agent pick ups, rookies, trades, picks, neg list, you name it.
  22. You know all those times two bombers go out into random places and sign autographs? Bet you they are getting a cheque. Not that they’d need to get one, but I’m sure we use it as one way to bolster total compensation. Play off money too. I know for a fact that happened a bunch as recently as the early to mid 90s. Few guys with dealership jobs who didn’t sell cars but showed up for company events and public stuff.
  23. My bet is they are all waiting to see if he sits long enough to take some thing with in 10k of min. Rip topic. But atleast thread is back on the rails lol. we need to sign some one before we get into civic planning and walkable cities. I’ll never find my way out of that rabbet hole. with white gone I wonder if baileys market is gonna move up now. Is any one still missing a no2 imp wr?
  24. The simple fact is, while Winnipeg has poverty and crime problems, more than some Canadian cities, it’s nothing compared to major us cities. The gun and cultural violence/aggressiveness is a whole other thing than here. I mean, we aren’t even talking kc as a bad place, and look at what happened during their Super Bowl party. Any one who thinks we got it bad, go to chiraq, or any of those other cities. Forget even just Winnipeg size cities in the dirty south that aren’t capitols. Those places will sober you to reality real fast. Most of those places have areas that are violen dangerous slums by violent dangerous third world country standards. Serious Johannesburg scary bad stuff. Major hell yes to lake time. Especially in the summer but I’ve found it nice even in winter lately. tbh polo is more dangerous than the forks these days. The forks has tons of private security now and regular patrols.
