Two surprising events have occurred in the world of football today (because we needed MORE breaking news!), and one of them doesn't really add up. Also, I'm going to add another point on the Johnny Manziel release from yesterday. Buckle your seat belts!
Lulay calls it a career. Travis Lulay, longtime starter (and recent backup) at quarterback for the B.C. Lions, has decided to retire. Lulay won his only Grey Cup with the Lions in 2011, going on a really nice run that year. As of late, h's been an occasional starter and mostly a backup, the injury bug biting him hard. Still, I have a lot of respect for the guy. He's one hell of a competitor, and he won a Grey Cup (not to mention an MOP award). Nothing to be ashamed of here.
49ers franchise Gould. I get it when NFL teams place a franchise tag on a revered (and valuable) player on their roster. This is done to avoid him walking into free agency. But Robbie Gould? He's a pretty good kicker, no denying that. Problem is, placing a franchise tag on a kicker? I don't remember the last time I saw this happen. One would think the Niners would franchise Garoppolo or some other offensive standout. This one has me a little confused, and I'm a Niner fan.
Hey Johnny, what up? The CFL remains extremely tight lipped surrounding the circumstances of Johnny Manziel's termination. Kavis Reed (GM of the Montreal Alouettes) told us nothing yesterday, which was followed by Randy Ambrosie (the CFL commissioner we love to hate) telling us even more nothing. What are the 'conditions' that Manziel violated, and why aren't we being told anything? You would think they'd want to tell us before it gets out through the back door. The lack of transparency from the CFL right now is deafening.
