I don’t love the nut ball. And I get why the league has to fine him, but he hasn’t been wrong. So he sure as hell isn’t bringing the league into disrepute. The officiating, command centre, scheduling, supplemental punishment, and consistency in all those areas has drug the league down into the mud. 

yup...he is a bit of an odd duck....but he not wrong in any way

MBT is 100% right on the short weeks.  Even with our high school team had a Friday game then a Wednesday game.  4 of the 5 season-ending injuries we’ve had this season happened in the Wednesday game on the short week.

Need that recovery time but also the prep time to be prepared to play the most physical sport.

Players should be fighting for a minimum of 6 days between games and league needs to figure it out.  Season is almost 22 full weeks now so should be able to sort it out to get 18 games in on 6 days rest each minimum.

Yep. The 5 day rest, 2 in 10 days and 3 in two week is ridiculous. As is going half a season with no byes when you get 3 in the year. 
I think every one would benefit from having a bigger gap between the end of pre season week 1 and the start of pre season week 2 as well. 

Pretty sad that a full in whacko in mbt has a better head on his shoulders than the stunned banana that is Ambroise.

Stunned banana? . . . I like it, let’s go with it.

What makes you think it is all up to Ambroise?

Mainly the shift from how much more aggressively they punished intent to injure etc before him. The bog for sure pulls the strings behind the green curtain but soo many areas that are struggling at all time worst levels have his stink all over it. 
 It’s not the primary stuff from the off season the bog usually works on that’s at issue.

You can take away the padded practices, improve the protective gear , but if you can't give them the time to recover, it's all for not. PEDs or rest, CFL, take your pick.

Total off topic but would be interested in any insights you have on Dakota's and Oak Park's teams and programs. Maybe a PM.

PEDs help you heal. Obviously, you don't want to encourage PED use but if you're worried about injuries and you're not prepared to give them the necessary rest between games...

And, what happens if he wins and looks good doing so? Farhan will be conflicted - Lions over Rourke?
