Well if they under utilize again this season then I can see him wanting out...

Who? How come they were not outraged by him being traded. Is that really the basis for your argument or are you just playing silly bugger? Not really my basis is that the only positive thing the media / fans / players had said about him in the last 2 seasons was that he was a warrior and had a lot of heart. As well visibly it's not like you saw him pumping up the guys on the sidelines and or saying anything to the media that would give the impression that he was going to take control of the locker room and or really anything passionate at all. The post game show interviews were similar to Burke's of Needing to study game film to see what went wrong , need to work on things for next week to correct the issues, I thought we showed a lot of effort (after stinking it up on the field). By the end Irving, Brown and Zalnasky would all make light of these kind of interviews. I'm not saying Pierce was a bad guy or the players hated him ... my comparison to Ladd and the Jets would be that the players all hated Evander Kane with a passion and it took Blake Wheeler to step up and put the guy in place. Ladd shows my example.... Wheeler is a guy in the locker room that the players respect and who can motivate the team between periods. I'm saying Pierce isn't a rah rah guy...

Who?How come they were not outraged by him being traded. How would you know if they were? Who?How come they were not outraged by him being traded. How would you know if they were? Twitter

Sounds like a lot of nitpicking to me....

Because in both scenarios - a person is dead. Yet when someone has served their sentence for vehicular homicide they are released - and it's usually not all over the news and we don't have MP's calling for appeals. Can't have it both ways. That is a ridiculous analogy. I don't know how much more you can twist your logic & still be serious? Do you think there's a chance Craig McTavish is going to go out & behead or eat someone tonight? You certainly are making it clear that the gruesomeness of what happened is your major consideration. Would you be so outraged if Vince Li had stabbed Tim McLean in the chest and then sat there like nothing had happened? When on his meds, Vince Li is much less likely to re-offend than an alcoholic with a car. I'm all in favor of a drunk driver getting life sentence for killing an innocent person... the area of fault is the justice system. People should pay HEAVILY when doing something extremely bad. Their is no excuses for killing an innocent person, whether being addicted to drugs, booze , or if you're flat out insane like Vince Li. Did you know that Jeffrey Dahmer was *diagnosed* and was on meds in his youth as well? Look what happened when he didn't continue taking his meds. Ultimately when the justice system didn't work it appears that somebody had to pay an inmate to take care of the business and I didn't see any body shedding a tear when he was put away....

Generalization that is way off the mark. A lot of people who have been touched by mental health issues would take offense to this remark. That's why we, as a collective group of people trying to co-exist with one another, rely on professionals (i.e Mark H's point) in these chosen vocations to apply their education, expertise, experiences and emotional intelligence to the most relevant information/evidence available. Usually no one case is identical to the other that warrants a particular decision for that situation. Yes, sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't. That's true for any vocation. It's called the complexity of life. Quite frankly I don't care if those people are offended. I see no reason to be PC about it. If you're crazy you're crazy why tip toe around it? Like I said I am all for mental health awareness and programs to help people and ending the nonsense that some problems you just have to suck up and deal with it... but once you cross the line from simply crazy to crazed killer I'm sorry but it's game over and I want that person out of society. Yeah well, drunk people have also been known to do some crazy things, especially while behind the steering wheel. Alchoalism is a disease

Yeah that was a really good interview he did, much respect for the guy handling that the way he did. So he didn't place the blame on every one else like Burke did?

Who? How come they were not outraged by him being traded.

To completely derail this thread... my inside source processed a few court cases today and found it hilarious that a young adult with a huge rap sheet of violent crimes was only fined $50 and giving probation for assaulting a senior (beating an old lady up) and robbing her of all her money which totaled more then $300 dollars in cash. Because she couldn't prove that she had that much cash on her, he was not ordered to repay the stolen funds. So this guy made a cool $250 profit for putting a lady in the hospital and stealing her purse. Our justice system is absolutely ha-larious.

Lol I didn't see the teammates crying or twittering a storm about Buck when he was traded away, when Korey Banks left BC we saw team mates really upset that a leader was being shipped off. Buck as a "leader" is just something the fans created... He was the Andrew Ladd of the Blue Bombers... a tough hard nose player who tried to lead by example.... unfortunately for Buck he was awful the last 2 years so that leadership had zero effectiveness. I never seen such a sad uninspired team as the guys last season.... that leadership of Buck really didn't look like it made any impact. Hey remember a few years back when Elliott was firing up the club and the players instantly responded compared to how lethargic they looked when Buck was at the helm. Buck was no great motivational leader, so get over it.

Once again I have to delete my post.... I can't reason with hippies. For the record my parking ticket was 25 dollars.... I await to see if Killing an innocent man will be higher or lower monetary fine.

Your bias against Buck has become nauseating. How so? He played extremely poorly for us in the last 2 years, he was injury prone, he held back (coaches fault) the development of the QB position, his post game speeches were uninspired and he never was honest like Calvillo was last year.... I don't see how it's a bias. The proof is in the results... the guy was awful and way past his expiration date. This is why I don't see the Buono as a GM love since he picked up 2 qbs from the team with the worst depth of QB over the last many years... he lost out on nearly everyone in the off season.... I don't see anything good about Pierce today as a player. He's a nice guy and had heart... but zero results. Glenn has shown WAAAAAAAAAY more in the last 3 years then Buck has. Last 3 seasons - > Buck's stats - 5500 yards passed - 22 TDs - 28 ints - Handful of wins Glenn's stats - 10893 yards passed - 62 TD - 40 ints - Helluva lottta wins The only thing Buck has on Glenn is a lower salary!

He'll fill in nicely until next season when we sign Andrew Harris

Don't forget he was eating the guys eyeballs when the police rolled up.

Have to delete this.... to angry about the situation... But an FYI did you know I paid a larger fine for my parking ticket then what this man did by killing an innocent human being! No justice in Canada at all....

I noticed the same out east in Ontario!

He finds another NFL job easily.. But he definitely still has lots of ties with Winnipeg so he definitely would play here if all else failed for him.

Lol at thus thread... People play to much Madden and think you can sign everyone that you want and make it work for your cap. Also people crying about not signing recognizable names like McCune and Bruce. The only difficult position to sign imports that can instantly be productive is at QB. Super easy to find receivers and mlb. Heck Sims walker in his brief time completely dwarfed anything Bruce has done in the last few years. The only ball dropping would be missing out on Collaros, Willy though is definitely no slouch and has big upside.

No really, I thought there was only 2 CFL Teams........................... I don't want Glenn here, I actually think it's unlikely for him to sign here, but why waste assets on him when we could either pick him up if he's released or if he doesn't want to come here waste picks and players for nothing. At the same time, what other team would want Glenn ? maybe Montreal and/or Edmonton, but I don't see BC going after him, nor Calgary, Saskatchewan, Toronto, Hamilton. Why wouldn't bc go for him? He's more reliable then Buck. One reason would be leadership issues. When it comes to that, Buck is more reliable. Is he really a leader? I know he's a nice guy but a leader would accept blame and would do what's best for his team. His post game speeches of needing to watch film (like Burke) doesn't really sound like leadership to me.

Thank god, I don't care if it was injuries or a bad coach.. The guy simply didn't perform and it was ridiculous that Mack didn't air lift in any players earlier on in the season.

I would assume Glenn wants a pay cheque and an easier ride. Montreal has invested in Smith and Marsh... I only see him going to a team who needs a backup. So us or BC makes the most sense. Maybe he goes to Hamilton to be close to home?

If Lulay's rehab is on schedule he may be ready for TC iirc. Yes but wouldn't Glenn be much better insurance then Pierce/Elliott?

Maybe the Blue are waiting to see if they can bring in a new mlb from there mini camps and or have eyes on someone down south. mlb is not the most difficult position to recruit for.

Found a job before Lapo has...
