Does anyone on the Ticat roster look really good this year?  Maybe Tyms' bullpoop quota for the year was exceeded.

ya thats true.. plausible he was unhappy there and it bled into his performance or mannerisms..  tire fires tend to do that to people.

Tyms had every opportunity to be the man especially after Tolliver went down. Team was begging him to. Week one he gets blasted by Austin for missing block then later camera catches him laughing with Argo defender.

Barely started after that. Work ethic dont match the skills me thinks

My money is on Montreal being the other team interested in Johnny Football.  The Als love those questionable big-splash moves and appear to have no plan at QB.

(Here, I'll save someone the trouble of making a FTFY post:  "The Als love those questionable big-splash moves and appear to have no plan at QB.")

Nailed it and I'm never right about anything so I'm gonna pump my own tires here a bit.

Other two teams?  Saskatchewan and Toronto, I'd bet.  Both teams have QBs who are expired or nearly expired.  Jones loves his bad boys and the Argos would do anything for a headline in Toronto.

Lordy, lordy. The Montreal situation is giving me flashbacks about the Glieberguy's era in Ottawa.

Oh Montreal.. Never change. They love their washed up NFL'ers 

[Brandon]

It's almost like the Als are trying to be a bigger gong show then Hamilton this season?

Well Popp is gone, so one of the Wetenhall's must be responsible for this predilection.

Game-time decision? I think if Jones starts him, it'll end badly.

[M.O.A.B.]

If Glenn starts TiCats D will key on whacking his throwing hand.

If Johnny Football ended up in Toronto it would be great for selling tickets. Would pay for itself, really.

I think it would be great for the CFL in Toronto, if, if, if, Manziel's head is on right.

If fate had not intervened, a time where Johnny M and Rob Ford existed in the same city would have been awesome.

Khalil Bass released today by the redblacks.  Wonder if there is interest on him coming back to winnipeg.  He struggled in ottawa but could be a good guy to rotate in a lot for the right $$.

RedBlacks release LB Bass: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/09/15/report-redblacks-release-khalil-bass/

Apparently, Desjardins asked him if he still wanted to be there, and he said no. Weird.

[Arnold_Palmer]

For the right price id love to see him back in Blue and Gold.

No. When healthy, both Wild and Leggett are better and he has the wrong passport to replace Hurl.

[Booch]

yeah but wild isn't healthy...and who kows..maybe he plays with a real chip on his shoulder...he did excell in the position Knox was trying to fill

Quote

GM Marcel Desjardins said the move isn’t money related. Bass, who had been splitting playing time with Serderius Bryant, was told he was being moved – he would be a backup to Taylor Reed this week.

“He was getting fewer reps than he liked on defence,” said Desjardins. “(Coach) Rick (Campbell) sat down with him and asked if he wanted to be here and he said, ‘No.’ It’s not like he wasn’t on the roster. It’s not like he wasn’t playing. He was playing less. But he was still meant to be part of what we were doing going into this week. He opted to not be here. We don’t want somebody here who doesn’t want to be here.

Id bring him back BUT this concerns me because its likely he could be platooning/backing up as well here.. Santos-Knox looked good last game.. Wild will be back at some point. 

[M.O.A.B.]

Wpg would be on top of Bass' list.

Familliarity with the team, coaches and D.

His GF is from here also.
