Grant has to be much better than that, Damn.

Yep. Gaudreau knew he was leaving. He could have informed the Flames months ago he wasn't coming back but he didn't.

How do Macciocia & Jones keep getting HC gigs? They're both terrible.

Chris Jones is an idiot. Tyler Locksley is a qb but goofball Jones has him playing slot. Now, he's injured. Tre Ford is already hurt. Arbuckle traded. Locksley hurt. They obly have one qb in Taylor Cornelius.

I guess we're supposed to wish Kenny Lawler well as he would have been crazy to turn down the stupid money the Elks threw at him. However, seeing him on such a shitty team, I just have one reaction....

I don't see much difference between last year's Elks team & this year. Bad team.

Gaudreau: American. Doesn't want to live in Calgary or Canada. Jets keep drafting Americans who bail to US teams as soon as they can. Cheveldayoff could have drafted at least one Manitoban or a Western Canada player from the WHL. But nope, why change when there's no accountability from ownership.

Amazing that a CFL HC would criticize a suspension handed out by the league.

I think Marino is one or two hits away from being thrown out of the league. A leopard can't change his spots. He's done & he knows it.

The backlash would be like a tsunami against the Players Assn.

It's 2022, how come the CFL & CFLPA haven't figured this out yet? https://3downnation.com/2022/07/13/cfl-cflpa-agree-to-further-define-zero-tolerance-policy-toward-racial-discrimination-following-garrett-marino-incident/

So, after the apology by the Riders & Marino, if they appeal the suspension then what they say meant nothing.

I think most Rider fans are decent people & don't like what happened. The problem is the organization itself. The rot starts at the top & is working its way down. Jeremy O'Day & Craig Dickenson are the problem. Marino makes a racist comment & meanwhile he has teammates that aren't just white. If he didn't fit into the locker room last year how will he fit in now?

Here's a photo of Nick Arbuckle being interviewed by the Ottawa media today.

Dickenson's deleted tweets have really hurt his credibility. He needs to be fined by the CFL & told to STHU. We can see now that he had no plans to discipline Marino.

He never practiced law. At least not for any length of time. His wife was a successful lawyer in Chicago. Tom became a full time NFL qb coach & coordinator working with guys like Andrew Luck, Brett Favre & Aaron Rodgers. He recently retired from coaching but was coaxed out of it by becoming the Packers qb coach for a second time. Apparently both Rodgers & Clements wanted to work together again.

Clements uncanny ability to extend plays was the same as Collaros. Both were/are so much fun to watch.

Suitor was saying Saturday that Collaros reminds him of Doug Flutie, If I was going to compare ZC to any qb of the past, it's Tom Clements hands down. They play the game very similar.

If any player has been treated like a piece of meat it's Arbuckle.

Arbuckle traded to Ottawa. https://globalnews.ca/news/8982301/edmonton-elks-trade-nick-arbuckle-ottawa-redblacks/

Marino gets one game for a racial slur?? How can the league justify one game for that?? He should have been suspended for the remaider of the season & playoffs. So much for Randy's Diversity Is Strength. Words mean nothing. Exactly. He'll do nothing.

One hundred & sixty thousand people crammed into Stampede Park on Sunday as it was Family Day at the Calgary Stampede. One of the DJ's on radio here today said he's never seen so many people at the Stampede before. Stampede officials expect attendance to top one million. With all the Covid variants circulating, there's going to be another wave here in Alberta. Our CMOH has disappeared. So has the Health Minister. Kenney's a lame duck Premier. He doesn't care. We don't get any stats anymore. To the government, the pandemic is over. I won't go within 10 klms of the Stampede.

I remember first going there in the mid 80's when I was in my 20's. Good times.
