Nathan Rourke realized he was chasing shadows as well in the NFL. They're on fumes now.

I find it hard to believe this thread is still going in late 2025. "We've looked for that flight for 3 centuries. It's my medical opinion that they're all dead, Jim."

Tried out with LA Chargers (I believe) & Chicago Bears. (Yeah, good luck with that on both). Sure get the impression he doesn't want to play in Winnipeg.

I like how the Alouettes do business. They move on from players & let the younger guys play. Cody Fajardo & Darnell Sankey are two examples. The Als felt Davis Alexander was ready but they felt he was so they released Fajardo so he could sign in Edmonton. The same with Sankey. They released him so he can make a deal elsewhere. A younger & cheaper player will take his place at linebacker. It's also what Wally & Huff would do. They had great success managing theior rosters. They always pushed their veterans very hard. If they felt a younger was ready to step up, no matter who was playing at whatever position they would make a change. Would Osh do that? Hardly. Not a chance.

I've seen this dog & pony show for nearly 13 seasons now. What in the world would make me think he's changed? Coaches all over the league are finalizing their staffs now. The earlier he lets Hogan go, the better chance he has to catch on with another staff. If Osh waits another month, it'llbe too late as most staffs will be set. That's why I believe there won't be a change.

One only has to look at how Osh is handling Hogan. He knows the guy has a lot of shortcomings as a coach. That he isn't ready even after a year under fire as OC. He knows the players aren't happy either but that doesn't seem to matter to him. The season for us ended 5 weeks ago. Other teams have announced coaching changes. Here we are still dicking around with the question of whether Hogan will be back or not & not a word fom our hea coach. My gut feeling is the longer this goes on, the chances of Osh keeping him as OC increases. If he was going to change OC, I believe we'd have known it by now. So, Osh says he needs to change the way he coaches but in the end, nothing seems to have changed.

Artpoeus was training camp fodder. Kept around because there was no competition. We knew who QB2 & 3 were going to be a year ago.

You hit the nail on the head with this post.

Has there been a change by the CFLPA?? Veterans are signing 2 & 3 year extensions. Cam Lawson & Ontaria Wilson here, QB Davis Alexander in Montreal. Bo Levi MItchell in Hamilton. A little bit of stability is a good thing.

"Now that, I say, I made a joke.. A joke, son!! Let's put it another way... Way son.... I made a J-O-K-E!! (Nice boy, but he's like a tatoo. Gets under yer skin)!!!"

"Jake will ride off when I tell him."

I've been telling people here since last off season Walters had to go. But Wade Miller rewards Walters indifference with a 3 year contract. Nice country club we have on the campus of the U of M.

They mentioned Schultz aftyer he died. The year that he was on the panel & missed the season they did to Schultz what they did to Dunigan. His name was never mentioned.

Gack!

That's been the complaint about Osh for years. He trots out extra Canadians at positions where we have better American players. It goes on every year & then he scratches his head wondering why it didn't work in big games that we needed to win. he has never maximized our roater properly. We really don't know how good we can be.

That's the 2018-2022 Walters. This version isn't even a shadow of his former self. He has chosen not to spend $$$. I don't know why as he has the resources to do so if he wants to. We'll see how he does this coming February.

The thing is, we can but will we?? I have zero faith in walterts actually doing so. He has a grid for players. RBs (other than Brady) are worth so much. Receivers, linebackers, etc. He won't budge bringing in other team's free agents or keeping ours.

It probably is. But it'll set the market for running backs like Diedrick Mills. & James Butler as well. We lose Brady what's the proability we replace him with a running back that's even close to what Oliveira does for us??? That's the problem. Replacing him. Not paying him. Again, paying him isn't the problem. It's replacing him.

If that's the market, so be it. I believe even our tone deaf, can't read the room, sits on his ass in free agency of a GM in Kyle Walters knows he has to sign Brady. To make up for it get rid of some deadwood on the roster. Especially one entitled vet who thinks he has a job for life, in particular. We're all going.... WTH??? Almost every position costs more, now. QB, receiver OL... About the only position you can still sign cheap vets is defensive back. . That'll probably be changing as well.

Happy Wilson is back.

They only talked about Schultz after he passed away. When he was sick for the entire year he was gone, they left an empty chair Never explained why. Never mentioned Schultz once all season. Then the next season, he joined the Argos radio crew where he worked until he died. Only then, did TSN acknowlege Schultz. Hear! Hear!!

No, not a single thank you. Typical of TSN. They did the same thing to Chris Schultz. He just never existed. As far as Barker goes, Shallow insight?? Out of touch opinions??? He's the Argo GM now so his opinions count for a lot. What did you actually expect, a Rhodes Scholar?? What does Daviss Sanchez bring to the group on the panel?? Absolutely nothing. And who got rewarded instead of being fired for doing such a lousy job??? Kyle Walters. It's not the Canadian Mafia naymore. It's a plush country club. Where no one is accountable & they'll all have a job as long as Wade Miller is in charge. Absolutely no accountability. What in the world has Walters done to rate three more years?

He's one badasss Koala!!

Sunderland was a horribe GM. But then why wouldn't a CFL team bring a guy who was a horrible GM so he can destroy another CFL team? Make perfect sense.
