A perfect fit

Like many, I was skeptical at first when Pinball Clemons' name was tossed around in connection with the Libs' leadership race. But one has to give him credit for wasting no time in embracing the party's deepest traditions of finger-pointing and avoiding responsibility just in time for the contest to start:

A report in the Globe and Mail on Tuesday hints at friction between Michael (Pinball) Clemons and team management over who is at fault for some of the decisions made this season...

The report in the Globe and Mail raises questions about who had final say on the Joseph deal.

Clemons admitted to the newspaper that he played a small part in the trade but said he was not part of the final decision.

"If they say no, it's done," explained Clemons to the Globe and Mail. "I got no say in that, got no decision in that. If they say, 'No, we don't want Kerry Joseph,' it's a done deal. There's no more conversation. Conversation is over. So they said yes, and the process continued. That's what happened, football ops said yes."

According to the Globe and Mail, sources within the Argonauts told them that the team's football operations were not overly excited about making the move.

Clemons explained the team's management structure to Globe and Mail and told them the final decision on every move was Rita's.
