AAF All Ambiguous Financing
-
We could easily compete with the AAF by just not paying him..
-
The AAF has a new recognition award: the payer of the week. This week’s winner - Tom Dundon, owner of the Carolina Hurricanes.

AAF co-founder Charlie Ebersol told the Orlando Sentinel the following: “We are a start-up, and start-ups raise money in pieces — there’s a Series A piece, Series B, Series C, etc. After the success of the first week, we had a number of investors come to us and offer us all kinds of different investments. Tom Dundon showed up and said, ‘Do you want to continue to raise Series B, Series C and Series D or do you want to raise Series Infinity right now and be taken care of from now on.’ That was an offer I was not going to refuse.” - http://footballscoop.com/news/two-weeks-aaf-reportedly-already-life-support/

Stupid investment is right and yet.. Former #CFL receiver Terrell Sinkfield signs with #AAF team 3downnation.com/2019/02/19/for…

👁🗨 From that article.. “The AAF has only played two weeks, and before Dundon's investment, Week 3 was in jeopardy,” according to The Athletic's report. 👁🗨 Here’s a line for you: "This was a terrific opportunity for Tom to expand his investment in the sports world," Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. "The AAF is off to an exciting start as a league and was founded on some truly unique and groundbreaking concepts. 3 weeks...really?

Being awfullly defensive. Of course that comes from being a disciple of C. Jones..

Points after: 👁🗨 Debate last year at training camp on who won the safety spot. Taylor Loffler was in tough to secure the starting position. Fate stepped in, Jones got injured, and Loffler grabbed the cash after being voted an all-star. Funny how that works. 👁🗨”Something gotta give.” Kyle Walters. He’s referring to all the money spent on top end Free Agents and squeezing all bodies under the SMS. Some good players will be released. 👁🗨 As early as last fall, the Bombers defensive Coaches were pointing at Winston Rose as a target at Free Agency. 👁🗨 Nice to hear Chungh contacted the Bombers to thank the Coaches and the Org. for drafting and tutoring him. Willie Jefferson - “It’s the team, the organization and a couple of guys I know got in contact with me and told me they wanted me... Come out here and let’s try to do something we’ve been trying to do for the last couple of years." 📝 | http://ow.ly/FNoI30nIGUi #ForTheW 👁🗨 Pretty petty of Ottawa to squabble over a signing bonus for Harris..So what did it cost them? Only their QB 👁🗨 Lalate depth signing for Wpger and LB DJ Lalama..

If you were to ask which 3 defensive players, going into Free Agency, were going to be highly sought after and the best available, you would probably name Willie Jefferson, Micah Johnson and Adam Bighill. We got 2 of them. Impressive.

He’s still afraid of that end zone...
-
I think LaPolice will only change his strategy if it is in his overall offensive game plan. Like last year. He set up the offensive game plan featuring ball control and didn’t stray from it. That was why, to me, we could have had a much better game against Calgary if only LaPo would have not played right into the Stamps thinking. We could have messed them up pretty good with a different strategy, but no, we stuck with same old, same old. And Calgary knew it. We had the weapons, and the mix (Streveler) And Wolitarsky etc. but we stayed the course. Too bad. It was a good chance we let slip away.

With each of those ‘offers’, they were seriously trying to upgrade. They had placed value on each of those players, and the value was high, even though, as stated by Walters , it wasn’t as high as the asking. My point was , we stopped there, where our line was drawn, and where it fit in our budget. We didn’t go up and over to get said player. Kind of like an auction where you want an item but are unwilling to overspend on that item because it would look nice to our neighbours. Sure, he swung for the fences, like each and every one of us wanted, but he stayed within his limits. That’s still responsible in my books.
-
Some sort of answers?
-
Still, for the Bombers..it is, and should be cost versus value. Big splashy signings are fun, but we don’t ‘need’ to do that. I still think we’re on target, and we have some cash to hit that target, either now, or in the near future.

Makes you wonder why he left..

Current list of Free Agents:
-
WOW! I didn’t realize walkers were so expensive!
-
I’ve been excited in past years when we signed our share (and more) of free agents. - It didn’t work out. I’m more patient now. I’m dazzled by the Red Carpet treatment by a number of teams and even tempted to be a bit envious. BUT When I look at our roster, and see all the key re-signings that we’ve inked, and the couple of additions that we have made, I realize we didn’t need those more expensive options. We’re close. Question marks remain, but you really didn’t want all the fun in one day, did you?

Nah man, that’s just crazy. Regina? Over the Peg?
