Hefney arm paralyzed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It does suck. Allways liked him. Thought we got rid of him far too soon. He sounds kind of bitter and negative towards playing up here. His nephew saying hed never play up here. That exact play and injury could happen at any level. Forget football, the most violent sport in the world imo, countless guys have blown out Achilles, knees and more playing pick up games of basketball. Should no one do that either?

If there's ever a way to contribute any kind of money to Hefney, I'd be more than happy to do it. It's a shame the CFL can't sort this out for it's players, I legitimately feel for the guy. He gave his all to the league. 

I would also contribute to something like this.

Mike, if you you know of a website, blog or forum that could be accessed through this site, and somehow could get that link to provide for Heffer, that would be great. Know anyone?

Yep. Put me down too.

Yeah, he's been tossed aside on the scrap heap by the CFL. It really is tragic. 

[O2L]

Maybe in addition to the GoFundme we could make our voices heard to the commissioner? He seems to like to “do the right thing” when it’s in the public eye...

Nice pickup for Edmonton.  Surprised that the Ticats would let him go just for neg list players.  At least Hamilton is being reasonable and acknowledging that they are out of the race so they can acquire some assets for the future.

@TSNDaveNaylor
Hearing the neg list players going from Edm to Ham in CJ Gable trade are 2 OL ... futures. #CFL #ticats #esks

If Van is hurt as well thats a pretty decent pick up for the eskimos.  I've never been a Gable fan but he's got some talent to fill that hole they have to be pretty desperate to plug atm

[Tracker]

If anyone needs a chuckle this morning, go to 3downnation and read Cameron Judge's twitter diarrhea- he describes a bizarre college life, and makes me wonder if he learned his lifestyle at Trump University.

[blue_gold_84]

Nice trade for the Eskimos. Gable is a solid tailback.

[bearpants]

trade makes sense for both sides... I wonder if Hammy tried to get a draft pick though...

[Brandon]

Why the love for Gable?    He's turrrrrrrible,  he's crappy at blocking,  goes down on first contact and has mediocre hands.

He's been a lot better since Austin stepped down.

Hefney now has a gofundme page to help cover the costs of his medical expenses for rehabilitation

Aside from this past week,  he had 143 yards in 3 games... I wouldn't say running for 50 yards per game as anything good.

CJ Gable has been hot garbage all year. He can follow Chick to the Esks but you're still going to get the same result.

Except now, you have a pylon 'protecting' Reilly.

It's not terrible...  55 yards per game is a 1000 yard season.  I'm not a huge Gable fan either but I do think he is better than what the Esks have behind their injured guys.

yea his blocking is pretty suspect at the best of times.
