damn good thing too. we need to get building Ricky a forcefield, like yesterday.

He was. I was just about to say that if you substitute the name Brown for Laurent and it would be a no brainer to the posters here.

He will if he doesn't lower his expectations. Yes he can still contribute a lot and yes he's the face of the team here, but he isn't a $175k player at this point. If he played all 18 games + playoffs he might be so if he works out something incentive based he might get there... but realistically he may end up elsewhere as Barker traditionally doesn't break the bank for free agents. It would suck to see him in Hamilton.

that kid ain't going nowhere but BMO. sheesh... next thing you know those uppity prairie folk will be looking to lure Thomas Miles away...

So many good players... and a home GC... and a GM that doesn't build thru free agency. *sigh* Have fun today Blue Bombs, I doubt it'll be that fun for Double Blues.

I'm having a difficult time believing this... but the Ottawa REDBLACKS are going to be in a Grey Cup.

Norwood's knee on that replay... yeeeesh

all 16 points scored with the wind.

neither look like championship caliber teams in that first half. the winner will be the team that stops gift-wrapping yardage thru penalties.

Relax. Westerman wins it without getting out of second gear.

thanks for posting this, Heel. it bares out what my impressions were in general (Edmonton and Ottawa have been solid while the Argos have been middling) but I was surprised that Hamilton wasn't higher

No no no, football players, especially quarterbacks only have so many hit points and we used up all of Willys before he had a change to regenerate some. NNnnnneerrrrrrrrrrd!

Two minutes and three first downs after kickoff, there's still more people outside waiting to get thru Rogers new security measures than there are inside.... Three more months in this dump.

You may lose context, but generally, I read through all of the posts anyways. One quote is neater (not taking into account using multiquote). As noted with these ^ selections, 2-3 quotes should be plenty to get the gist of what is being said. Otherwise you might actually have to (gasp) manually look back. 3 seems okay to me.

I heard Ray was throwing 45 yard bombs in practice a few weeks ago. they don't look like bombs. but he plays 40 yard games of toss. i'm no doctor (but i play one with my girlfriends), but i reckon about 4 weeks. he looks great otherwise, very fit (for him).

Not if a Grey Cup is your goal. Harris (Flutie forbid) getting a sprained (insert body part here) in late October scotches that for us... unless a legend wearing #15 comes off the bench.

Speaking in generalities: -Trevor Harris is 29. He has seized the moment and his time is now. If he uses the next four weeks (or thereabouts) the same way he's used his last 5, then you couldn't demote him to backup. -Ray now has the time he needs to make a full recovery and continue to rest his body. This increases his future value. His past two and a half seasons of play has been among the best QB play that the league has ever seen. Two more seasons (not unreasonable given good protection and good fortune) would cement his place in history and the records books. -The Argos are trying to win it this season, so obviously, no trade gets made. -Likewise, they will try to win next season and would like both players back... it's possible, but will depend on what the plaers, agents and teams want as well as health, luck, etc... Reaslistically: -The Trevor Harris era began in week 1 -Ray will renegotiate to a smaller deal to backup in Toronto, or another of what could be several teams will try their best to lure him away -Milo and Barker will get whatever they want, so i'm good. Nobody gets Ray this season. There's nothing that anyone could offer Barker to make it happen short of giving him your best National, International and 1st rounders (ie: grab your ankles, Jimbo is going in dry)

thought we'd killed that evil place off... don't make me come back over there, Colin... lol jk, i wouldn't waste my time in that backwater hole

...i felt a disturbance in the force...

odd... i would describe Ray (at this stage of his career these last few seasons) and Harris as almost prototype CFL Pocket Passers...

you obviously have no idea what sort of fans we have.

had as much time as he wanted to pass against us. we failed to pressure him in any way. Shoulda texted him that his girlfriend was pregnant. With triplets. a friend has 1 year old triplets. all girls. there's pressuring someone... and then there's just inhumane cruelty.
