He is the Heart and Soul of the TiCats, He doesn't hold it back, it is on his sleeve, always
I watched him inconsolably openly cry on national TV at the end of that season ending East Final game last season in November in Ottawa. It is what makes him tick and we all love him for it.
So when I read this, I wondered what these guys just don't quite understand?
Simoni just needs to calm the hell down and enjoy his birthday. Some guy said/posted an opinion about him on social media. Big Deal!!!
We’ve seen quite a few posts around here saying the same thing as Dunk. Some might feel that the Cats can sign a younger, cheaper linebacker. I happen to disagree and would love to have Simoni back for another couple of seasons. His passion and leadership would be hard to replace.
Ultimately it will be Ticat management that decides Simoni’s worth. Not some dudes on the internet.
With some players getting big raises, the team will have to save money somewhere. Can’t just pay everyone more, year after year.
I don’t know how accurate it is to assume that Simoni’s market value is higher now than it was whenever he signed his last contract. He’s that much older, and perhaps not as dominating as he was. Other teams play under the constraints of the same salary cap.
Fun fact: Simoni is the same age as Unamba, and younger than Dean.
Nah! It’s just a football game. Last time I did that was when I was a kid and watched Warren Moon surgically carve up the Cats 48-10 in the 1980 Grey Cup. ;D
Can’t praise his passion then turn around and tut-tut his push back.
With technology it’s a two way street now and media/ big tech hates it…it’s why comment sections are increasingly scarce…twitter accounts mysteriously and unfairly suspended.
Actually I think that is because comment sections have come to be dominated by hate and trolling under the shroud of anonymity.
Media outlets, like most businesses, would love to see a constructive and interesting dialogue with their readers/customers, but as with many things, the malevolent minority tends to ruin it for the rest.
Simoni had issues with Dunk saying this publicly on the radio and told him that no one knows how much he is being paid or wants to be paid and he obviously doesn’t know how old he is.(30 today)
CFL News@CFL_News .@JDunk12 - “I feel it might be a shocker for some people but there is some sentiment out there that the price tag for Simoni Lawrence could be a lot higher than the #Ticats are willing to pay him as he gets a little bit up there in age.” #CFL via @jimtatti & @TSN_LouisB 2:28 PM - Jan 31, 2019
So he personally(thru twitter) told him what he thought of him and how he does things.
