Imo he doesn’t give off any authentic genuine vibe that he truly loves our game and his role is to serve and focus the attention on the game and the people who tirelessly are working hard behind the scenes to keep this league surviving and thriving. Instead he gives off the vibe that I’m in charge, the attention should be on me cuz I’m the leader I’m important.

They could tack on contingencies to his suspension, they could void his contract, other guys have been barred before. Let him fight it in court after the investigation finds he was guilty. In this era you have to come down hard on gambling with in the league and your own games. We've seen other pro leagues do the same.

I thought stuff was usually hashed out between the CFL and the CFPA, is the CFLPA fighting the suspension or is it because Lemon appealed the sentence?

The CFLPA filed the grievance on Lemon's behalf & appeals are determined by an independent arbitrator. Dave Naylor had said the hearing looked to be set for the first week of July so there should be a resolution soon. wbbfan and Fatty Liver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he is playing doesn’t mean he should be. Montreal should have done the right thing in this situation. rebusrankin, bigg jay, Bigblue204 and 7 others 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CFLPA could have (possibly) declined to file an appeal as well although their argument seems to be that while the no betting policy was known, the potential penalties were not so the league should have done a better job explaining things.

Certainly the club should have dumped him immediately, when they heard what was going on with the Betenator BUT cancelling his contract immediately by the league would have been prudent and definitely within their purvey... rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be consistent he should even though what he said needed to be brought up by someone. I understand the broadcast scheduling thing, but if the CFL and CFLPA are truly working towards better player safety having some teams playing on short weeks for almost one quarter of their total games. wbbfan and JCon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best ideas I've heard ALL YEAR......LOL....Then after the calls work, they could herd these beautiful animals into a pen, and have a petting and viewing area at the back of the stadium....for adults and kids alike...You gotta think big in this league Edited June 29 by Stickem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
