The Argos could probably easily have acquired both Messam (in his prime) or Bridge, but the people running CFL teams have mostly little to no use for signing local guys who are quality players and who could maybe help their team - on the field and with marketing. The Argos have never had any use for this concept, but have always been on the all-american hero saviour band-wagon. The Bummers may be buying into this concept some - with Harris, Demski, LaFrance in the fold, but I'm not sure it is part of a real plan (dullard Walters could have drafted Winnipeg native Jordan Herdman as a MLB prospect a couple of years back, but i guess chose to write-off his outstanding college ball D resume cause of his 40 time; so he could draft back-ups or special teamers only).

CFL teams saying Canadian talent is so important & critical to them, continues to be mostly a tired cliche or fairy-tale. Desjardins & Campbell in Ottawa is showing their GOB favortism towards any import players they can find and hand playing time to mostly when he has the option to give playing time to some Canadian talent (they won the GC in starting 10 to 12 NIs - not just 7 = morons) but maybe some Ottawa fans rally to Sinopoli and now young kicker Lewis Ward being key parts of their team? Still a far cry from the days of the likes Russ Jackson, Ronnie Stewart, Whit Tucker, Moe Racine, Joe Poirier, Wayne Giardino, Gerry Organ - being key, star Canadian fixtures on a powerhouse team.

I have highlighted the ironic part of the above post.

good try
but macspectrum is/was a keen supporter of argos

and i think local boys are much more easily marketed than a stadium with illegal end zone depth and one end zone with a completely different surface ! [by the way declan cross is cdn]
i just imagine an argos backfield w/ bridge as qb, messam and wilder [both big boys and both can catch]
and bridge rolls out with option to pass or run and run he can as demonstrated in 2017 east final

and somehow we fans are supposed to ignore this like the cfl and commish does !
shame on him
-----
it really makes cfl look very unprofessional and players notice too
=------
once again i am not an agent

oh by the way 'arrested' and 'charged' by police is very different from being found guilty
police make lots of mistakes
i have been to court twice on criminal charges [i wont into each case any more than that except to say violence was NEVER involved]
both times i was found 'not guilty' - but it cost me $ to get a lawyer
police and prosecuting atty did not apologize
so i am a little biased
------
just good i didnt play pro baseball or football

Can you not sue in such a case, or has the fascist State once again put itself "above the law"? Did you at least get into the faces of the police and Crown prosecutor after being found not guilty?

LOL
I don't think anyone would care where Messam or Bridge for that matter grew up. Admittedly Manziel would be a different case for at least a couple of games.
