I read this in the spec today. If this were to happen this in my opinion is the dumbest move the new GM will make. I already question some of his moves already but this would take the cake. He wants to build a successful team but bring in players at the end of their careers (and yes folks Damon's career is over).
I hope Ken Peters wrote this article as a joke.
This just proves one thing: print media guys, and I love 'em really, will print anything to try and keep up with the big TV boys. But this is ok, makes for some great reading between games and during the off season I will admit.
Print is fun but video/audio is where the action is as they say.
What kind of a journalist writes an article suggesting that an outlandish trade might happen, only to end the article by suggesting that it probably won't happen?
I would trade for MBishop in a heartbeat while he is still under valued and a deal due to being "inconsistent",I'd get him then you people could critise me all you want,like I care.Wait til the first games and watch that long bomb arm ,I've always liked Bishop,but agree he didn;t get it with his previous OC ,it just didn't work.
'
I don't know about now though ,they've maybe simplified the offence and I hope we get him if the Argos grab up a proven starter over Bishop.
Come to think of it, our GM couldn't comment specifically on which active players he wants anyhow.....so yeah, it was sort of a wasted topic in that article....
It's Grey Cup week.....maybe Ken should work at digging up some neat stuff on that topic sometime this week.
It's probably not the best week to be stirring up ficticious trade rumours when the League would benefit if all the focus goes on to the Grey Cup.
C'mon Ken, get off your butt and get out on the street and get some real stories. :lol:
The Spectator should consider replacing Ken Peters. Clearly this guy is so out of touch with sports he can't even find a good story to write about. The down slope for Allen is increasing each year. I even questioned the Argos when the signed he originally.
Keep your mitts off Crouch!! From what I've seen of him this season, I think he's got the potential to be a good CFL QB. One guy that I'm surprised hasn't turned up in the CFL is Timmy Chang (U of Hawaii). All-time NCAA passing yards record. He was the last cut of the Steelers this season. Maybe a bit small for the NFL but tailor made for the CFL.
Possibly the GM is putting out feelers to see what interest there is around the league for trading for Maas. The Ken Peters "heard" about it from a media colleague in another CFL city.
Or, maybe Toronto has been putting out, or is puting out, feelers about trading Damon or "retiring" him, or qcquiring Maas. Again, Ken Peters "heard" about this, etc.
Possibly I am putting out "feelers" to the forum at large, or specifically to those who look for conspiracies, etc. I certainly have no evidence that there is any such intent from either Hamilton or Toronto.
