I'm no Pollyanna by any stretch of the imagination but some of these posts criticizing our play calling on Sunday border on the bizarre quite frankly.

Fair enough

That was 6 years ago. The time for apology was many years ago. Over the past several years most people have acknowledged that he has built a good team...even those who initially had some trepidation.

I don't think Kyle is owed an apology. I don't recall him facing a ton of criticism like Lapo or Hall or even MOS at times.

Lapo and Hall both called excellent games on Sunday. Stalled drives just might be attributed to Hamilton's number one defence doing their best to keep them in the game. End of the day when you hang 30+ on their defence, and you keep their O to under 15 points your coordinators have done an excellent job preparing the players, game planning and calling plays. Those are just the facts. There have been times each of these guys have deserved criticism, but you have to be highly biased not to give these guys their due for Sunday.

It would be a nice sentiment but I doubt Milt, Doug, or Charlie want a pity ring.

I went to a game there. It's garbage.

As someone who posts on both, my unbiased opinion is that TEP is busier than here.

I had a PM from Brian yesterday where he confirmed offseason up dates are definitely going ahead.

The majority of the league is on one year contracts. You don't think that every decent player that Toronto has isn't looking to jump ship after the season they just had? Also, Toronto is a crap show for facilities for the players. Tons of complaints this year that the players didn't even know where they would be practicing from week to week because they rent their practice facilities from wherever there is some available. BMO is a 3rd rate stadium and the soccer team gets first dibs on time use there. I think that MOS leaving has to be considered a longshot.

That brings us back to the conversation where he has looked Walters in the eye and said he wants to be back.

Trestman still has one year at over 600k left on his contract after this year. I am sure they use their one exemption for him but that leaves them no exemption left for Chamblin and Popp's salary. That's a ton of SMS used up. They aren't getting into a bidding war with anyone.

Yes the coach SMS makes it even more unlikely that Toronto could outbid us. Trestman and Popp are still on the books for next year and Chamblin would be 2 more years. Unless you think that the Argos could pay 3 HCs less than we could pay one.

Gotta love the small towns. Everyone knows everyone and you have no choice but to get along so relationships matter.

O'Shea doesn't strike me as a guy who would backtrack on a verbal agreement unless Walters lowballed him.

Write it down and sign it. Makes it legally binding and beyond your wife's control.

I love KC. Used to road trip their every spring for early golf.

Dude, 4000 ppl is just about as big as Regina. Ok....I exaggerate...but in Canada 4000 people is a big town. My summer cottage is near a town/city of 13000 but the closest real city is 500 miles away with no towns for a 400 mile stretch.

So happy to see it up so quickly

They could easily sign both. Arbuckle and Collaros both at 350 is cheaper than a lot of QB combos in the league and would be fair market value for both guys. If you think that either guy is worth more you are overestimating their worth.

Maybe...but that might be all that is available to us. I think TO trades for the rights to Arbuckle and signs Collaros as a 1b. I think Ottawa trades for the rights to Masoli. It leaves us on the outside looking in imo. I can't see this being held off until FA. GMs are not going to want to let this go to FA. Last year their hand was forced by the league to do so because of the CBA.

You are forgetting his concussion history and ignoring the fact he wants to go East

It started with one journalist, who admitted it was pure speculation, wondering out loud if the connection between Pinball and MOS might tempt either guy. Then Hodge jumps on it as if it were a done deal and things evolve from there. It really has zero credible sources at all

Ok...that's Manitoba alright.

I wonder if they will have pickle/kobassa/cheese/rye bread platter there. Wouldn't be too Manitoba without it.
