    Might well have been moves suggested or dictated by an idiot/desperate ownership group at the time. Barker & Millanovich both could have shown some guts and stood up and said NO to both those clown-act moves if they wanted no part of them. IF they were involved in the thought process there = dumb-@$$, desperate - and deserved to be punted out of town. And i sort of like the Argo results after they were punted. ;o)
    The cutting of the four receivers was all about work ethic - or lack thereof. Interesting that only one of those receivers is still employed in the CFL.

    Yeah - and IMO easily the least talented of the 4 - Hazelton - is now with the Esks, but mostly played due to injuries; guess he is being a good boy now.

    Cutting 4 roster players at one position group in mid-season is unprecedented (maybe? - somebody name another example in pro football history), and sorry, a big-time act of desperation by the HC and/or GM - who should have figured long-before - like in TC - that these guys were this big "work ethic" problem or $hit disturbers or whatever. And cutting just one of them (a ring-leader/scapegoat) might have sent the proper message. 4 at one time was a laughable joke and combine that with a moron / dumb_@$$ trade = Scotty and Jimbo were in desperate mode - and a clear sign they deserved to be punted way out of town. And a great thing they were.
