One of the worst things to happen in a sled dog race is for a female to go into heat. Basically the race is over at that point.

Having female athletic therapists working with 25 yr old pro football players is another recipe for disaster. It's a nice idea but rarely goes well. Seems the longer they go the worse it is going to end up now that the CFL head office is being dragged into the discussion.

A professional women's sports team with male therapists and coaching is living in denial if they think they will never be affected by sexual tension. U.S. Olympic gymnasts bear the scars among others. The CFL / Argo / Kelly thing is not something new. Not trying to dismiss it but they should have seen it coming.

Hiring large breasted women is barely any different.

Yeah, that's what they said about women in the armed forces.

Come to think of it, that's what they said about Black men in the armed forces, too.

Is there any context in which men can be legally and socially obligated to keep their dicks in their drawers and stay on mission? Or is dogs in heat the best we can expect?

How did that all work out? Gave the top brass in Canada something to do and a bonus for Canadian lawyers defending military sexual harassment claims.

Could be the core issue is the athletic therapist being mad at Kelly about her contract not being renewed by the Argos. Doesn't actually sound like sexual assault happened. That said everyone should understand zero tolerance these days.

It will be 25 years this year since Hamilton last won a Grey Cup. They played that game at BC Place in Vancouver.

History repeats they say. You read it here first.

Nonsense. In the most stunning zero-to-hero turnaround in CFL history, the Elks will top the West, and the Redblacks the East.

Elks win the Cup.

And yes, I am ready to put my money where my mouth is. Long as it's Canadian money.

Many Canadians drafted and or signing with NFL teams again this year. Seems like talent is not an issue. It does mess up the CFL with players wasting years (Nathan Rourke) waiting when they could be playing but everyone keeps saying it's all about the money.

Noticed a top ten listing of prospects for the CFL Global draft and see that everyone on the list played U.S. College football. Anyone who has a parent born in another country qualifies so basically it is just a way of getting more American trained players into the league. Still don't understand why we don't develop our own but when managers and coachs have come up through those ranks it is not surprising that they continue to do as they did.

Always an honour to be elected to the CFL Hall of Fame. Seeing Weston Dressler, Chad Owens, and S.J. Green are on the list for this year along with long time coach and builder Ray Jauch.

Despite similar stats the three grouped as receivers were very different players. Dressler was more of a gritty inside check down guy while Owens was known as much for being a returner as he was a receiver. S.J. is the only truly dynamic player of the three imo.

After a while the H.O.F. becomes just another old boys club. Don't hold your breath waiting for Shawn Lemon.

Nine games for Chad Kelly. Shawn Lemon permanently suspended. Sounds like the Bombers off season program is going well.

Big speech from Uncle Randy talking about how the players are the face of the league until they want to cut them despite a legal contract in place.

CFL is it's own worst enemy.

Big news in a small world when the reigning CFL MOP is suspended for 9 games.

Private investigation with no details released as per private corporation limitations. Hearing a couple of times about the 87 page report suggesting length equates to attention to detail. My guess if you want to pay is you could get a 125 page signed, sealed, and delivered document saying the opposite is true. Call Joe for advice on that.

My take on the primary motive is to weaken the Argos as sad as that is. I repeat there are two reasons for most things in life and one is usually a good one with the other being the real one.

"MOP?" Let me guess. . . Most Offensive Player?

There were no charges laid that have been made public. Kelly allegedly accused her of dating another player so was she playing the field or what for a job that paid her $23,000 / year. This is barely more than a wolf whistle imo.

Not to down play gender based violence but since when did the CFL need to become a torch bearer for the topic.

Earlier reports of discrimination in the CFL head office seem to be of no concern.

Question remains, Did he grope?

The Daily — Sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces, 2022

According to the 2022 Survey on Sexual Misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces, sexual assault and personal experiences of sexualized or discriminatory behaviour increased among Regular Force members. At the same time, bystander intervention also increased, and perceptions of the response to...

Laughable. Senior director of Branding makes me wonder how young the juniors are. 10 years with the club sounds like a former cheerleader.

Didn't Paul LaPolice marry a cheerleader? Describing Chad Kelly as a monster is a good way to connect with the American audience. I hope they sue the pants off the CFL.

This is how Winnipeg wins Grey Cups which they won't.


She was hired for her football knowledge and acumen though.

Big swing and a miss by Jeremy O'Day by releasing Jalen Edwards-Cooper after just signing him in free agency. No worries with the 3 year deal in place.
