Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Tobias (Bloi-Dei) Dorzon :...

Tobias Dorzon played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2012 as Bloi-Dei Dorzon.


For Tobias Dorzon, the night of Nov. 5, 2024, began like any other date night. Known for his appearances on the Food Network and named 2024 Maryland Chef of the Year, Dorzon, 40, juggles the demands of his two busy restaurants — Huncho House and 1123 by Chef Tobias — while keeping up a standing tradition of biweekly date nights with his long-distance girlfriend, Crystal Swan, who had just flown into town...

... After dinner, the couple took a 30-minute Uber ride back to Dorzon's home in Hyattsville, Md. When the car pulled up, Dorzon noticed another vehicle stop directly behind them. He didn't think much of it, assuming it would drive around once their Uber moved. But as he stepped out to open the car door for his girlfriend, he saw the back doors of the other car swing open and several people emerge, guns drawn. Moments later, the suspects began shooting. Ironically, it was the one night he had gone out without his security detail...

... Somehow, he was able to FaceTime his brother, propping his phone on the curb where he was laying to tell him what was happening. Dorzon had been shot 11 times and his girlfriend had also been hit, collapsing on the front lawn. A neighbor called 911, but after that, things got hazy for him.

Why does a chef require a security detail?

And a team can deny permission.  Toronto could have said "Pound sand" to Ott, and they would have had to wait until Dec 31.  Pinball thought Dinwiddie would give him the courtesy to counter, so he extended the courtesy to him talking to Ott while still under contract.

I guess Dinwiddie didn't see a path forward with Toronto, regardless what Pinball would have offered...

Dinwiddie just maxed out his earnings, he also gets to move his family from Toronto to Ottawa which is a much better city to live in.

Sounds like I could have 2 Grey Cup ticket for sale. There in section 229. He went to England for a funeral and doesn't think he will make it back in time.

Except Dinwiddie was still under contract with the Argos for 2026.

Clubs normally allow their staff to talk to other teams if it's for a promotion, which it was in this case.

That's probably true but one team then asks for permission to speak with a candidate. A new team wants the new person in place ASAP in order to assess talent and draft considerations etc. That's true whether a contact will expire or still has time left.

Jays extended the optional $$ to Bo, low $22M., and agree it should finally arrive in and around the $30M stratosphere

Management for Canada's Olympic team must be cringing at the unsportsmanlike buffoonery Binni displayed
