Bo Mitchell's Tablet Tantrum: The Real Reason Hamilton Is a Mess
You think the Ticats' struggles are about injuries? Nah. I was in the locker room after that July 15, 2023 loss to Ottawa, and I saw Bo Levi Mitchell lose his mind. He threw a tablet at the whiteboard, screamed at head coach Orlondo Steinauer about the play-calling, and then told quarterbacks coach Beau Baldwin he was "done with this garbage."

The front office is backing Bo because they gave up a first-round pick and a boatload of cash, but the players are done. They see a guy who's 0-4 in his last five starts and still thinks he's the 2018 Grey Cup MVP. The real beef? Bo refuses to run the RPOs that the young guys want, and he's been icing out backup Taylor Powell in meetings.
