Worth noting - this guy really isn't a prominent CFL agent so he doesn't have the same kind of pull as guys like Gill, Vertlieb, etc. He represents Simmons, EJ Kuale and I think a handful of other PR guys. He has to get the job done without much leverage elsewhere and I'd say he's doing it - even if he publicly looks like a fool, his client will be happy. Mission accomplished.

Sadly, the reality is that because of this, he WILL get his way so while his agent looks like an absolute ****, he's going to end up getting the job done.

Simmons was very good last year, no idea why he's sitting on the bench to be honest. He was Ottawa's MOP nominee last year. Very bright star on a weak defense.

What kind of football / league / uniforms / field is that?

So tell us the truth then - if you don't know him, how did you manage to learn this?

Well it does beg the question, on a short week, with one scheduled practice and a QB making his first start, you have a storm forecasted during the practice, and the coaching staff does nothing? Seems odd to me. O'Shea stated that they did move up practice 20 minutes...so there. Obviously overlooked in that extensive Google research.

Is this what we talk about on here now? Good grief. Anything to have something to complain about.

Is he? What is he wrong about? The team hasn't done anything to improve this offseason. Relying on Ehlers and Burmi to put this team over the top doesn't really give me too much confidence. I think they're relying on a lot more than Ehlers. They're relying on the raised level of comfort from Myers and Stafford who get a TC with their new team. They're relying on the development of Scheifele, Trouba and Lowry. They're relying on the system to put some new blood in. That article is a joke lol

Read above been stated that veltung is a healthy scratch. He's hurt. I don't really care how they word it in the media - healthy scratch is an incorrect use of terminology, he's on the gameday roster as a member of the 2-man reserve but he's still injured.

Donaldson is honestly amazing. Favorite player.

Maybe but hey, at least we're not starting a linebacking core featuring Brandon Isaac and James Yurichuk and at least Dave Stala isn't on our team. Every team has its warts at this point of the season.

I would assume so. It's a very winnable game for either team.

This game truly is winnable ... no Greenwood, no Owens, no Durie, no Whitaker ... we have a definite chance.

Go a little deeper into T'cona to find the real gems. The Central, The Spike, still around too. It's like going into a time machine. The Spike is a beauty, love it there. Spent a fair amount of time at the Villa in North Kildonan in my university days too.

Our DL has been really good lately, just not getting the big money stats (just like every other team in the league) but they've been much better with Peach and Turner out (moreso Peach out and Collins in)

Andrew Harris

Both BS. Our D has actually been somewhat dominant since Collins went into the lineup. Not enthused to see all the guys who made up an extremely mediocre DL back in the lineup together. I've already resigned myself to Veltung sitting, I was holding out hope Collins won't. Very frustrated to see Peach back in the lineup.

Always wanted to wander in there for one night JUST to see. But I value my life too much.

I wonder if Veltung is hurt or "hurt"

So I'm guessing Veltung (which is BS) and Collins are the ones who will sit.

The directive from Creehan will be to be diligent in not overpursuing.

At this point if all else fails, I'd bring back Max Hall and a bag of coke just for the entertainment value.

Nope. I was debating it myself, same debate I had when Boltus was with us.

Bob Irving has been implying it will be Marve. He's right 99.9% of the time.

What are you trying to do to me? First Drew Willy gets hurt now you wanna rag on Oregon's jerseys? I've just about had it with today!
