If someone walked up to me today and said "here's 40K to play football for 5 months..." with all the other perks (working out, cheap housing, etc etc) and a chance to add up more game film and potentially walk into a contract in the NFL.. my bag would have been packed in an instant lol. WIlder thinks his half a year game footage plus half a season stat totals are gonna land him a gig in the NFL? good luck. He wasn't some unstoppable force here. He was solid with glimpses of great.. Now do that over a full season... you know, like he signed his freakin' contract for... and then head south. What if, Argo's release him to go get that NFL deal... he fails in his attempt and then comes back to the CFL. Now, he has no contract and is free to sign with any team. Argo's now lose that sweet contract they had with the guy AND could potentially lose him all together if they don't want to match another teams offer.. Is that fair to the Argos and their fanbase? Oh, sure the gentleman's agreement should make that a non-issue BUT he doesn't have any true obligation to come back to the argos and resume his previously setup contract once his NFL dream has expired for the time being.

exactly... to play a game that you claim to love no less.. I'd be playing in a heartbeat.

dunno, I still would.

yea but it was sub-par..

Oh I didn't realize he got hurt. then that signing makes more sense.

I knew the name sounded familiar. weird to bring him back then.... fodder?

Demski not an FA... nevermind, he is.. thanks google!

.....? Random Death Notice.

Welcome to sledding in the winter?? its not exactly a kind, easy way to play in the snow.. I mean sure, maybe the Forks should have a retaining fence or something but... really now, you are going sledding.. there is ALWAYS a risk.

haha ya me and the girlfriend had that exact thing happen to us when were watching... we both kinda shuddered with revulsion once we realized that they were eating her pick.. as did me and the girlfriend and probably a great many people.. well played writers!

me thinks that Tyler is dead and gone.. Voq is a humanized Klingon and his mind has been intermingled with Tyler's "mind" out of his brain by some crazy wizardry.

you're right.. I should have commented on Goalie assuming blame. My apologies but (so far) the stories about her checkered past seem more plausible then the he/he/she said, she said angle coming from Enzo's camp. and ya, my bad on the denoucing of enzo, for some reason I mistook what you were saying as implication of guilt. I assumed and we know what that does. I didn't take what Goalie was saying in the same context as yourself then I suppose. I think he was using it metaphorically, not so much "shes a crackhead camwhore" more so using it for a reference to her career/history/personality.. I didn't see it as "she can't be accusing him of rape because shes a crackwhore cam girl" more so as "lookit that crackhead".. more slangy/jargon then direct implication.. *shrug* and I chose to characterize your post thusly because it seems like you want to overlook the girls history and concerning conduct in the past and not let it lend any credence to the fact that this could be made up. I mean she admits to using a lie to try and manipulate an ex-boyfriend... saying she was carrying his child... that is pretty dastardly.. you say you are not picking a side in this story but I kinda think you are.. your history here is kind of telling, not that its a bad thing in anyway, shape or form.

SEE, COMEDY!!

....? you even watching the games? Hes been lights out on the PK and on the forecheck. He has blazing speed.. He might not have the hands to score a ton but everything else he does has been pretty much money... yea I'm kinda lost as to the reason behind saying he isn't good. Besides scoring, he has done everything asked of him and not been a detriment.

yea something is not adding up... hopefully the truth will all come out in the wash.

Well, from my very short research into this story, seems like the women has a history of being overly dramatic and doing sensationalized things when something doesn't go her way.. (NOT VICTIM BLAMING! just stating what I've come across) and of course the WWE is going to yank his adverts. even a fake claim of rape is enough to get people panicked about his name and character being associated with this.. and then his name tarnishing the WWE brand.

For the USA or for the plethora of lol's that will undoubtedly follow?

I doubt it.. He likes to ride his starter, hell or high water.. Can't say I don't agree with that concept. It is good to know that if for some reason Nichols does struggle for a few games or gets nicked up, we can go to someone who has proven they can win a game or two... But I don't think it will effect how quickly Nichols (if he ever does) gets the hook..

I agree but so far, he has been saying the right things... suppose only time will tell.

oh and I agree.. the problem is that when the other teams cast off's are just that.. guys tossed to the heap. I don't mind stealing another team's project when they are unable to retain them.. but when it becomes a situation like we are seeing here with Crompton, Adams, Bridge (to an extent), Jackory Harris and that big backup in toronto... where none of them are looking to be "the next big thing" and more likely to flame out, it becomes a "we gotta find our own guy!" situation again.. There isn't any real backup's out there or project backups (that I've noticed anyway) who are the next Reilly, Mitchell, Lulay or Durant.. I see a lot of wash outs like we have seen here for the last decade

and blame walters et all for not having a viable, capable backup!

its nice to see someone from outside the zone so to speak, weigh in on Glenn. this would be perfect for the Glenn "hof" discussion that is going on in another thread. agree 100%

Yea but even a bridge, adams or whomever else that are "known" prospect options are not looking like diamonds in the rough to me at this point.. I'd rather go with a grizzled vet for another year or two and hope... that FINALLY... our QB hunters can locate a bona-fide prospect to groom and develop... or that Davis takes that next step.. either or.. I hate trying to take another team's prospect.. who they give up on.. and make him into a project.. at least with Davis, it seems to me anyway, that we just bid higher for his services

sooo.. uhhh... need a snickers?

No but you do get that for playing for over a decade... and being the next man up on numerous occasions. He has had the benefit of starters going down in front of him... and him being air-lifted in... on more then one occasion. And then, when the dust settles... hes either traded or cut. why is that? If he is a hof'er candidate, would he have been so oft kicked to the curb or traded away for some pretty piddly returns?
