Dropping by to pick up a big bag of money or negotiate a pay cut?

Earning his marketing money.

If the bag is under the table it could be both!  Winning!!

:D  :D

Joking aside, the hours are such that I possibly could make this one!  And this family has 2 Zach jerseys now that would sure look nice with a juicy sig on them...

Sheehan with Collaros, I wonder who's going to have the larger line for autographs ;)

If someone really wants to make the punter's day, they can go to the signing and just get JS18's autograph... would be awesome for locker-room trash talk.

"Remember that signing we did together, when everyone got both our autographs, except that one guy... who just got MINE!"

Seems weird to have this event on a Tuesday, better chance of getting fans down to the stadium on a Saturday, guessing Zach's media appearance is more important in this case.

Sheahan is a great guy, I'd say most games @PAS he's out in the signature pit, and for a long time.  We got his sig on one of our jerseys once.  Most players NEVER come out to the pit, and the ones that do don't stay long.

He must be wintering in Wpg. why else would an Aussie be there mid Feb?

He was at The Festival du Voyageur the other day signing autographs with Neufeld and Cadwallader.

I would like him to punt for us long term.  Love the way he can use the field to his advantage with his kicking style.

Zach, Ed Tait, Sheahan and Darren Cameron.

I agree with Zach that it boggles the mind how WFC didn't get the best CFL rating for "family support".  I think SSK rated higher.  What's up with that?  Maybe O'Day paid all the players to answer 10/10 for every question.

Don't discount the effect of family support.  Listening to Ceresna it's pretty clear very high on his list of reasons to sign somewhere was family support.  I'm also pretty sure that's why he took the discount to be here.

Doesn't help much with the rookies, but most of the 6+ year vets will have families and this can help lure those top guys who still have 3-5 years in the tank.

No, it's sound like he was here to experience winter for a month and then back home.

I get the impression he lives in the US in the off-season where his wife is completing her education, said he only gets back to Australia for a few weeks to visit family.

Ya, and he said he's never seen snow falling from the sky in his entire life.  :o  :o

I thought Zach also hinted that he expects Schoen back, there's little doubt he influences FA additions from players he played with and against.

hard to say, of course he's going to send out a positive message to Schoen, but as Walters said its really up to the doctors and of course Schoen himself depending on the risk.

That would be cool.  Maybe make a blend and call it "Propa Bomba" (Bomma?).

He did say it's a no-inventory business though, so WFC would probably have to buy a batch up front.  Plus, there's the whole "delivered fresh" thing that would go away if it sits on the shelf for even a week.

So, we did stop in to get Sheahan's autograph. Nice guy, took a picture with my granddaughter. Zach looked like he's put on a little upper body muscle. No bag of money under the table for TLB.

Zach mentioned he ate a 24 oz. steak while in town, maybe that's the extra muscle you noticed! I'm not up on the latest dietary trends but I thought elite athletes had dropped the heavy meat consumption?
