Well, it looks like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have come down on practice roster offensive lineman Matt Morencie.
The CFL club allowed the Winnipeg Blue Bombers pluk the former Windsor Lancers tackle and guard and J.P. Metras winner off waivers Wednesday.
Morencie was involved in a strange post-game confrontation with Windsor Star reporter Bob Duff on Saturday at a Alumni Field at the University of Windsor.
Morencie first verbally abused Duff and then took the reporter's notebook, tore pages from it and tossed it the air.
Most assume the tirade was done in an effort to protect Morencie's father, Lancers head coach Mike Morencie, whom Duff had criticized in print and is in his last season of a four-year contract.
Drew Edwards, who covers the TiCats for the Hamilton Spectator, has posted on his Scratching Post Blog some comments from TiCats head coach Marcel Bellefeuille.
“It's important to represent our organization positively at every opportunity that we can. I just reiterated the point to him,” Bellefeuille said. “I think he took it to heart, he understands the situation and I'm sure if he had to do it again it probably wouldn't have happened the way it did.”
Some pondered what just how the TiCats should handle Matt's unprofessionalism.
Sending him to the 'Peg just before winter. That's punishment enough.
Although, Hamilton brass stressed to Edwards the incident and roster move are not related.
You're a dummy, which is why you run a blog. There's no intent to check any sources. This trade was in the works and near a done deal weeks ago bozo!

Well, if he's a "dummy" for running a blog, what does reading it make you, Mr. Magoo?
BTW, nice handle....name yourself after a bumbling, legally blind cartoon character.
Also, he was placed on waivers and claimed by Winnipeg, NOT traded....maybe you should check your sources, Magoo.

Thanks, Pete. I, too, was going to clarify that Hamilton placed him on waivers, which essentially means the TiCats no longer wanted him. There was no trade here. The TiCats allowed Morencie to be taken without compensation. But, what do I (or Drew Edwards or CP reporters) know.

That makes three dummies. Pete, Greg and BMoC (very lame handle by the way; makes you sound fat) rolling around in warm butter together on the cute little blog.

Mr. Magoo is right - the whole Blue Bomber thing was in the works for 2 weeks before all this happened.
Posted by: itsmimimd | 11/03/2010 at 12:32 AM
So how could it have been in the works for 2 weeks when he was placed on waivers? Are you saying (itsmimimd) that this was planned between the two clubs? Hard to believe!!!!
Posted by: mikep | 11/03/2010 at 08:00 AM
No I did not say it was planned between the 2 clubs - there are many other possible scenarios. Think about the timing - the "incident" happens and it is so "bad" and "huge" that the Ticats who are in the middle of playoff prep drop everything and in just hours they arrange to "dump" him. The deal happened days before it was reported.

I think the only "dummy" here is the guy with a University degree choosing to make $500 per week
Posted by: LancersFan | 11/04/2010 at 12:09 PM
I'm confused - Who's the dummy with a University degree making $500 a week?
Posted by: HomeFan | 11/06/2010 at 05:02 PM
Uh, Mr. Magoo...you do realize Greg and BMOC are one and the same person, don't you?
And itsmimind...since when is getting placed on waivers and getting claimed considered a "deal"?

This information is really good and I will say will always be helpful if we try it risk free. So if you can back it up.

. From that assumption, I put the hatch at roughly two feet wide. Depending on how the interior is laid out, it looks like it would be sufficiently large to carry seven people on a short duration trip.

Lot of traction. It's almost like a knobby tire. Order 1/2 size larger than normal and you'll be happy.

This could be the "perfect" shoe for me. Bought them to run on a mountain trail, mostly muddy and leaves/roots... I was surprised of how comfortable those are... I wear them now as my primary leisure shoe, because they look fantastic and I keep running on my older trail shoes
