I don't know how much of an impact he made on the Als 4-0 start, but still bloody convenient he got to play those 4 games.

Lemon didn't seem to be as much of a factor this year. Dukes turned him inside out on one play last week. Anyway, I guess he will retire again.

You can’t say that. He always commands a lot of attention which frees up others to make plays. I said at the time, and still believe if the league is going to take big money from gambling sites as sponsors, they need to also apply a rule for players betting. Personally, I think if a player wants to bet $100 on his own team to win, there should be no issue with that. Maybe allow bets up to $100, and only allow players to bet on their own teams to win…no spread involved, because then the possibility of point shaving is there.

Peter Dyakowski said it best "I'm all for moral rigidity, but when the league takes buckets of cash from gambling companies and uses the
@CFL platform to encourage gambling, not to mention @TSN_Sports. holding my eyeballs open to watch gambling ads, who are they to judge when a player takes their advice?"

Gambling was the saviour of the league not so long ago.

A $100 bet on the CFL. I originally thought suspending for life a retired player was a product placement ad. haha

The CFL is a joke now. Thanks Randy.

Agreed, also if a player bets on his team to win I have no issue with it, no prop bets allowed and certainly not allowed to bet against your own team.
Ambrosie certainly is a clown!

Ambrosie has to go, and go now. Does he think he's Judge Landis and Shawn Lemon is "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. This isn't MLB.

Gambling used to be a crime and run by the likes of Al Capone. Gambling is now legal and a partner of the CFL. Sheesh. Does he seriously believe big money is on the CFL games?

Perhaps the current issues are just distractions from the complete absence of accomplishing anything he promised 7 years ago.

Did I read somewhere he has talks with 2 expansion teams.

Sooner or later, fine talk has to be replaced with actions.
