is it any coincidence that 2 of the ticats 3 wins have come with Holmes outta the lineup?...both the win in winnipeg and last nite, the team played alot more relaxed and came out with a WIN.
im sure not seeing a teammate putting a Saskatchewan mouthguard in in his mouth might have something to do with it....not hearing him GUSH about saskatchewan might have something to do with it. corey holmes sends the message 'hey, im a rider and your not my teammates' to the rest of his ticat mates.
when your 'superstar' clearly does NOT want to be on your team, it must hurt team morale and chemistry....and you know he's gone after this season.
i was glad to hear the ticats have had enough of this crap, getting him outta the lockeroom sayin he has a 'mystery' injury, and are lookin to trade his ass.
I was out of the loop for a few days, and was suprised to hear that there was an injury. I didn't recall him getting injured while playing. Does anyone remember exactly how the injury was supposed to have happened? Maybe it is a mystery injury...
hes not injured...i think the ticats GM identified holmes as the guy not wanting to be on the team.
IF u remember that interview with brian williams, the GM said theres 'some guys who dont want to play for this team, and we gotta get rid of them'....odd, cuz holmes doesnt want to play for this team, and now he has 'mystery injury' to get him outta the lockerroom while they look to trade him.
Corey is a gentleman; quiet and soft spoken.
He goes out of his way to be nice to fans.
He never says anything but positives.
Come to think of it, Corey is the second coming of Pinball Clemons!
P.S.
Neither Troy last year nor Corey this year ever expressed publicly
that they didn’t want to be here, like so many want fans to claim
and I am pretty sure Corey doesn’t express that in the locker room.
One has to separate the reality of each player
from the hardball negotiating stance of their agents.
I think the use of the word "cancer" gives the impression that you think he's not a nice guy :roll: I seem to remember reading that Corey said he really wants to re-sign here. He might be wrong though, maybe he really doesn't
Holmes has a sprained MCL, and will be out at least four weeks. It has been reported in the Spec at least twice. Pay attention and stop starting baseless rumours. And don't give me any conspiracy theories. By putting Holmes on the IR, the Cats have all but eliminated the possibility of a trade this season.
And give up on the mouthguard thing. Athletes in all sports have pieces of equipment that they become attached to, either because of comfort or effectiveness, or because they were wearing it when they scored their first touchdown/goal/etc. I was on a team with a guy who had to wear his lucky underwear in competition... and after 4 years, it wasn't a pretty sight. :o
Drummer God is just trying to stir up trouble. Somehow he's managed to convince people on the CFL forums that he knows something about football, when he knows about as much about football as I do about biochemistry, being nothing.
