I was feeling tired. Asked my wife to wake me up when the halftime show was over. That was quite a defensive display by the Seahawks last night. If you like defensive football, then this was the game for you. Denver would have been a better matchup for the Seahawks. Love seeing the Patriots lose. I hate that team.

He'd only be here for a year so no harm.

For backup qb MBT. For receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr.

This maybe should be in the Grim Reaper thread but since it's CFL related, I thought I'd post it here. Former CFL player Barry Wilburn died yesterday in Memphis in a house fire. Wilburn was 62 years of age. Wilburn played for 3 CFL teams during his time in canada. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, BC Lions & Winnipeg Blue Bombers (in 1999). He also played for Washington & the Philadelphia Eagles. What a horrible way to go. Condolences to his family, friends & former teammtes.

The players contracts are up so I don't think any bonuses would be forthcoming from any expired contracts.

Yeah, Walters was really killing it early & then suddenly it was over. I was hoping for one or two more signings on the DL & that may happen yet. there still are some receivers out there like Gittens we sure could use. Surprised there haven't been any more announcements. maybe the second round of secondary signings will happen after the 9th when the negotiation window closes. I guess some free agents also know they'll sign somewhere & are weighing offers.

Rest In Peace, Brad Arnold. To die so young. Very tragic. Eff cancer.

I think most GMs would honour any contracts offered. I don't think any team would mess with the system they have to screw it up. Look at last year when they announced the salary cap kncrease right about now. A week after the window opened. No teams wanted to offer more to nab a player from another team or put in a different offer to keep or sign a free agent. Example: Kenny Lawler. The Bombers could have offered more but said no after he & the Ti Cats agreed to terms.

So, which teams were the free agent winners (including their own) & losers?

Don't remember but that's okay.

Yes.

But why make a public announcement? That would be protocol anyway. They know he's leaving. My point is, if you do it for one player then you have to do it for everyone. Even the backup long snapper who left in free agency. That's a heckuva lot of announcements league wide per team. I've no issue with it. Just that it was never done before.

It was a strange announcement. Nobody has ever done that before. Are they going to do that with every free agent they lose? What about the Argos & Ti Cats & the players they lost? That would be a lot of announcements per team. Our team last year? Some new CFL media protocol? It was just weird.

WTF is Hervey doing??? No one seems to know the motivation for this announcement other than Hervey really wanted Ceresna gone & is holding the door open as he leaves.

I saw The Factor is back & had no idea what it meant. Was that Arthur's nickname?
