OT: Montreal Alouettes sign QB John Skelton

[Russ Smith]

Good for his kid since he should be able to start paying child support again.

Can they garnish wages you earn in another country?

Sure would have rather rolled the dice with Skelton than Lindley, particularly with BA coaching. Skelton, for all of his warts, won several games on 4th quarter comebacks.

This is a great move for him---he needs the experience and all the reps he can get. I'll be very interested to see how he does. Like Hollywood, I wish him the best.

I agree with both statements Mitch.

By 2010, Whis was the de facto GM. He was calling the shots.

Graves was a guy who would roll with whatever structure came along-- he was basically doing contracts at that time.

Yep.

This. Makes you wonder why he wasn't considered. Or maybe he was and there is bad blood there? I can't imagine they thought Lindley would be better, even with his more recent knowledge of the playbook.

If he's making regular payments there's no need to garnish his wages. And to answer the question, they can try but the employer doesn't have to comply. I base this information on past experience(not child/spousal support..too long a story to explain).

He is not. He is fighting that it is his child even though DNA has proven it is and he refuses to pay child support. He is a dead beat dad.

You have to apply to a local court to confirm an order.

No more Skelton in our closet?
