I'm embarssed to have you as a colleague. The fact you can't even recognize -- let alone apologize for -- your miserable take, then double down with this garbage, is truly reprehensible. You've bought too far into your own hype and it's time to go.

The Winnipeg Jets lead the Central Division, the Blue Bombers are far and away the best team in the CFL right now and the Winnipeg Ice boast the top record (17-1) in the entire CHL. Not a bad time to be a Winnipeg sports fan.

I have lots of thoughts on this. But I'll say this for now: Kevin Cheveldayoff may not have been responsible for the actions of the Blackhawks senior management, but he is responsible for what he didn't do. And he has to live with that.
The NHL will not impose discipline on Winnipeg Jets general manager, Kevin Cheveldayoff, with respect to the Brad Aldrich matter.

The sad reality here is Kevin Cheveldayoff did what would save his job back then, and he's doing the same thing now. No apology. No remorse shown. Just two lawyer-written statements to show for himself.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed QB Zach Collaros to a three-year extension, keeping him in Winnipeg through the 2025 CFL season. The league's reigning MOP is 31-4 as a starter in Winnipeg, leading the Blue and Gold to back-to-back Grey Cups. What a massive signing.

Pierre-Luc Dubois is among the more intelligent/thoughtful Jets players, and credit him for facing the media. What's clear is he's taking a wait-and-see approach with the Jets, on a very important life decision. I don't blame him for being unsure about Wpg given his 2 years here.

Zach Collaros' $550,000 -- the highest salary in the CFL -- is where most expected him to be. 17-2 as a starter, 5-0 in the playoffs and reigning MOP...it's a comfortable number for both sides and well deserved for someone who has been the missing piece in Wpg for some time.

You can have empathy for the situation Cheveldayoff was in and also believe he should be held accountable for his actions -- in this case inaction. They're not mutually exclusive. The fact remains Cheveldayoff's inaction resulted in more abuse. And TN is about to defend that.
The sad reality here is Kevin Cheveldayoff did what would save his job back then, and he's doing the same thing now. No apology. No remorse shown. Just two lawyer-written statements to show for himself.
