To give you an idea of the priority about the safety of women in the workplace, Pinball Clemons is getting an honourary degree from the University of Guelph later this month. Even after the bungled Chad Kelly affair. I certainly don't hold him in the same high esteem that I used to.

Run through his 04 Grey Cup team.  Almost as many convictions as Canadian players.  Guy has always been willing to sacrifice ethics to win.

This is the thing about the CBA that shows me what kind of a disservice the CFLPA does for their members. They'll insist these ridiculous appeal clauses be part of the agreement yet they can't ever get more than (on average) a hundred grand increase per year in the salary cap. They think they do such a great job when the owners just say nope & the players back off. Yet, claim victory for dumbass things like this. Is it any wonder the cap barely keeps up with the coat of living? The owners will give them appeals on just about anything in the CBA but when it comes to meat & potato issues like money, they fail badly.

So "Canada's Team" with the self proclaimed best and most loyal diehard fans in all of pro sports took a 1.1 million dollar loss last year. Humble pie followed by a giant serving of crow is currently being served in the big rectangle.

this is not good news.  the Bombers exist to beat the Riders down.  If we don't have the Riders, why do we exist?
