TBURGESS

If I was the only one who gave s***, it would have ended when I posted the meme. It's funny how people think that Lawler couldn't have done anything about the DUI before he did. I guess it's just a coincidence that he got in front of a judge as soon as he got back to Winnipeg.

You are wrong here. DUI is the story. The media and fans want to change it to immigration issues to soften the story.

The DUI is the reason, it should be in the headline, not buried in the story. It's like saying someone who murdered someone has a legal issue.

Don't you ever get tired of being a Bomber shill? You think it takes more than 19 months to get a hearing for a DUI? You think Lawler told the Bombers before they signed him that his DUI was still outstanding & that the Bombers didn't do anything about it? You think Lawler is the only import to get a DUI in Canada? I don't think any of those things are true. The DUI is the reason for Lawler's immigration problem & the media should report it that way. No DUI... No Problem.

He should have taken care of the DUI before this April. It happened 610 days ago. No DUI = No problem. It isn't an immigration issue, it's a DUI issue. Folks want to say it's everyone except Lawler's fault, but that's just making excuses. No it's not his agents fault for not taking care of it for him. No, it's not the Bombers fault for not taking care of it for him. No, it's not the PA's fault for not warning him. All he had to do was google "dui canada border" and he would have found out what to do. The whole situation is totally Lawler's fault for getting a DUI and not taking care of things way back in October 2021.

Without the DUI, there is no immigration issue. If he took care of the DUI like he should have, there'd be no immigration issue.

I had us in first last year too.

Bombers Lions Stamps Riders Elks Argos Ti-Cats REDBLACKS Als I don't want to piss anyone off by getting the arithmetic wrong.

Your old tag line was about a decade old. The new one will likely last that long too.

His Lawyer should have told him what he had to do, not his agent.

I watched both games. Can't wait for real football to start. REDBLACKs looked better than I expected. Hopefully it means a better eastern division this year. Lions starting O shredded Stamps backups. VAJ looked great. Put up 21 points in 3 drives. The backups did nothing until the last play FG to win the game.

My bad. Wrong player. Embarrassing for me. Mea Culpa. I'm Sorry. Your story still isn't likely or within 1% of being right.

That's what I thought was going to happen too, but it turns out that it was all on other sources.

I wish I'd taken the wager before the news came out today from the club proving you to be completely wrong & proving that the my 'most likely case' was wrong too. If, like you suggest, 'most people on the forum' have drawn the same wrong conclusion, then you are proving that having the most people on your side doesn't mean you are right.

I quit twitter a week after Musk took over. Thought it would be a big problem. Turns out it wasn't.

You have nothing but a made up story that has a bunch of holes in it. You're assuming your ideas are facts & confusing 'What Ifs' with proof. Have the Bombers sent players home and put them on the suspended list? Yes. Did they do it in this in Grants case? Maybe? Is that proof? Nope. Have the Bombers offered to give players the first week off and let them go home? Maybe? Did they do it in this case? Maybe? Is that proof? Nope. Is your story possible? Yes. Doesn't that make it true? Possibly. Does it put the Bombers in the best light possible? Yes. It's your MO. Take a possibility that puts the Bombers in the best light possible, say that's what happened, then argue with anyone (No it's not JUST me) who asks for proof.

He wasn't given a week off, or he would have been back on Monday. Back on Wednesday means 1 practice or just the walk through before Friday's game. Practice spots aren't that valuable or they would have suspended Bighill etc. which they didn't. MOS said he needed some extra time. That's more likely to mean to heal than to go home to his family. It certainly doesn't say here are your choices. Any vet on any team who gets suspended day 1 is likely to have physical problems, that includes Bombers. They could have suspended him after day 1 when they found out he 'wasn't ready yet'. That's similar, but not the same as not passing the physical, but not similar or even close to the same as here are your choices. For the above reasons, your story, although not impossible, is very much improbable. One might even go as far as to call it out to lunch.

Source for this 'story' you are making up? Ok. Glad to have him back on the roster. Best guess is he didn't pass his physical. Given the option to go home for an extra week to be with his family is pure blue glasses combined with chugging the blue kool aid, singing kumbaya, best story that could be made up, etc etc etc.

Does "Just needed some time" = "Didn't pass the physical"? That's what most folks would assume when a player comes to camp and gets suspended.

Not how I read it, but if that's what you mean, fair enough. Personal reasons could mean, a death in the family, a new baby, health issues, family issues, legal issues, or any of a hundred different things. Even the good things can affect the players ability on the field and the bad things could stop them from being on the field altogether. When the team doesn't tell us what is going on, we have to guess & assuming it means everything is wonderful with everyone just isn't realistic. Jeffcoat (Practiced then out), Bighill (Coaching, not practicing) and Grant (Suspended after showing up) were all banged up at the end of the season, if they are still banged up that's a problem. Brady O practiced, out, then we brought in a new RB. That's 4 stars with question marks & Hansen and Wilson are already on the 6 game. IIRC there are more non-participants. One of the reason's that this has been a very quiet camp is because some folks call it spewing conspiracy theory's when anyone doesn't toe the 'Everything's Hunky Dorey' line.

Media doesn't cover anything up? Where did you get that nugget from? The Media is chock a block full of fake news.

Not reptiles or aliens. Injuries is a much more likely scenario. If they're all back on the field in week 2 of TC, I'll be happily surprised. In the meantime... move along, nothing to see here.
