Speaking of neg lists, Mike you seem to have a pretty good idea regarding whose on ours. How would you rate it?
I would rate it as one of the more realistic neg lists in the league
So when Penton had one of his CFL insiders tell him that the Bombers neg list was the worst in the League according to the insider's GM that insider/GM is full of hooey?
I think what Mike meant, that since neg list players rarely end up as anything (Remember when Taman neg listed Deion Sanders?) that our neg list have the most potential of ending up on our roster. Penton's source may be right but really means nothing.
Pretty much.
Put it this way ...
Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin and Colin Kaepernick are all still on CFL negotiation lists. So are guys like Doug Martin and Montee Ball.
Not an absolute ton of home runs on our negotiation list and I would never claim to know the whole thing, but the guys who have been on there for a reasonably long time are what I'd consider decent bets to come to the CFL (AND be effective -- No Tebows)

Go figure Tim Burke would want his players to look as bored and unemotional as he does.
Here's my question and as much as I'm asking it because I dislike Burke, it's also a serious question ... has he ever been anything but critical of his players in the media? Can anyone remember a quote or anything printed in the papers from Burke indicating he was pleased with an individual performance?
It seems like every time he discusses one of his players, it's negative.

I think Miller will stay & then hire his own GM. I'm all for Kyle staying with the team as an AGM. I'm all for Miller staying team president as well if he does the proper job search & due dilligence. Hire the best man for the job. That's all I want. Walters isn't ready yet. This has been discussed a lot here. I think the general consensus is that Walters is a bright young guy who needs to work under someone successful to learn the GM position. If he gives the position to Walters instead of someone like Tom Higgins (if he applies) or someone else with proven CFL GM credntials then you know what's up.
Really what this boils down to, Iso, is that you don't want the best man for the job. You want the guy YOU think is best.

Could his career be over?

I want Walters around but I'd rather use him as a tool to assist a more experienced GM than have him be THAT guy.
That being said, he's been active so far. I've liked the overall body of work and if this trade for an OL goes through, that COULD sell me on him even more if he comes away a winner in that deal.
He has a long way to go though.
Do you have any inkling who they are trying to trade for?
I have an inkling on who they WANT to trade for, but I don't think that's who they're going to end up acquiring.
No doubt they want Chris Best.
Wasn't Best a free agent at the start of the year? Yet another guy that Mack refused to go after?
Nope. Best was signed to an extension in 2012 that carries into 2014.

Brown is on the field today wearing Number....6! Really Levi?
They literally didn't have any other number to give him.

Ed Hervey is a moron.

I think if there's one obvious tidbit to take away from the game re: the OL, it's that Swiston needs to play tackle.

Depth provides the opportunity to draft NIMPs that are NCAA juniors that you can wait on. That has been Mtl philosophy with their draft. It makes for a constant supply of o line in your system. So until you have any solid stable of NIMPs stop drafting guys that you have no idea when they will come free.
Except drafting NCAA juniors is now a thing of the past.

Calgary should sign him to replace Nik Lewis.
Yeah. We don't need him....
One would have to assume that he would have no interest in coming here. Winnipeg isn't a place for people with options sadly enough.
Winnipeg does not have a bonafide #1 CFL receiver. Matthews was last year, but I'd argue this year, we have no identity or guys worthy of double coverage.
If I'm Chris Williams, that represents opportunity.
I would like to contend that point.
We don't even have guys worthy of single coverage.

I don't get why Denmark continues to play.
Put MSW, Kelly or even Poblah in there.

Are you guys kidding? He will be signing in the NFL. The whole point of getting out of the contract was to get to the NFL, not because he hated the Ticats.
I doubt it's guaranteed now. Not this year at least.

I remember when I thought Arkee Whitlock and Anwar Stewart were Canadian for the longest time.

I'll take it, provided he is over his injury. He can play teams, he has the right passport, and I bet he can stay onside.

worth pointing out ... he's never done it when we're losing
