    The CFL should IMO have a policy for intent to injure type fouls (maybe they already do?); sometimes a play can happen that maybe was not an intent to injure, so it's a tough call, but IMO 2 of those in a season and a guy should be suspended for the year; and 3 in career = 3 strikes you're out - banned for life.

    If I was an Argo coach - i'd set up Hebert to take a big smash in his mouth next game (and not a dirty low hit to take his knee out and cause injury); have a big size back or receiver (say Cross) - early in the game - and design a play where Hebert is going to get blindsided with a tough but clean hit - those kind of blocks can still be delivered legally - maybe rings the Dirty Bird's bell or knocks him right out; and then have the Argo who delivered the blow stand over him and say: "how's that pal - think you're a tough guy now with your cheap-shots" (The Champ); worth the unsportsmanlike penalty IMO that might ensue to send a message to an @$$-hat who deserves one.
    Given how little discipline the league actually hands out I wouldn't be that surprised if the players actually took it upon themselves to handle it.

    The league should and probably will hand out a fine for that helmet to helmet hit. But I believe there is a limit to what the fine can be in the CFLPA contract with the League. Not all that severe.

    Yes IIRC the maximum fine is 25% of a week's pay. Since he's a repeat offender he really should be suspended.

    It's time for a suspension for a serial offender.
