  1. being gay isnt a life choice. And if that gibberish translates to what it seems like it does, I would release him. Maybe thats crazy but its a dispicable hateful attack. CFL better lay down a huge fine on this idiot. Exactly. The probability that there are multiple gay people in the Alouettes organization, from players, to coaches, to administration, is pretty likely, and Bruce's comments have just ostracized them. To not release him suggests that the organization supports this type of discrimination. It's not a matter of freedom of speech, it's human rights. I'd have to imagine that if he had used a racial slur there wouldn't even be any hesitation to dump him, and I see this as no different.
  2. I think I got the "YOW!" part covered. Still trying to sort out the rest.
  3. This is unbelievable. Personally, I don't think a fine is enough of a punishment, but that's just me... http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=443568 ALS' BRUCE DIRECTS OFFENSIVE MESSAGE TO GAY PROSPECT SAM While most professional football players showed support on social media for NFL prospect Michael Sam after announcinng he was gay, Arland Bruce was not among them. Montreal Alouettes receiver wrote an offensive message towards Sam over Instagram on Tuesday night, suggesting that the Missouri defensive end Sam should "submit to God." "YOW!," he wrote. "Mr/MSam you scared to rub on ------- and --- and ------- you gaey. Man up and do some --- push UPS and get on your knees and submit to God fully. Come out of her" Americas Trap. Lil homie don't go thru with it it's a trap bruh." It isn't the first time Bruce has been in the centre of controversy. In 2009, he performed a touchdown celebration by removing his helmet, shoulder pads, and uniform top and laying down in the end zone as a tribute to Michael Jackson after scoring. The CFL has fined players for questionable and offensive messages posted on social media.
  4. when you said tomorrow, do you mean before the free agency ? or when the free agency kicks in? I have no idea. Just casual conversation with one of my friends, I didn't really get into details. have heard Kohlert and Swayze Waters, fwiw... Would be very happy to see Waters here. Feels like it's been forever since we've had security at placekicker, and with O'Shea's ties to Waters, this one makes some sense.
  5. No, it's essentially a new contract but it's deemed an extension because technically, his existing contract was overwritten seen as how it didn't expire until Monday. Makes sense, thanks. I'm curious to know what we're paying him, I imagine it is substantially less than both Collaros and Burris are getting. Also wondering how long before Sask announces an extension for Etienne. Would be funny if he hit free agency anyway.
  6. Since his contract was extended, does that mean that it remains the same as it was? As in, we'd be paying him what Sask was paying him to be their number 2?
  7. I'll be there (first time I get to see a game in Calgary). I'll find out where my seats are and post on here. Due to my own terrible schedule, I've missed four home games and the LDC (first time I've missed in 13 years) this season, so pretty pumped I get to see an away game in Cal.
  8. Aww Sheetson!
  9. Is it bad that I'm actually happy about this? I really want to see some more of our young guys step in; it's incredible that in our first two games, our three leading receivers are all Canadian. Can't wait to see what Anderson and/or Pierce can do!
  10. Week one gotta go with a proven commodity. Hopefully by next week I'll be picking a Bomber. Andrew Harris
