and yet, given the other choices, he has my vote.

MS Paint is f**kin scary.

new stadium... new TV contract...
 
no reason to be so pessimistic even given prior failures.

If the CFL were even close in money to the NFL, I would agree that players should play out their contracts.   But seeing the discrepancy in salaries between the two leagues, the short career window of professional football  athletes, and how they risk their bodies for our entertainment, I have no problem with releasing a player early if they have a legit shot at getting on an NFL roster.
 
While we may lose a few star players every year in this manner, if the CFL is viewed as a viable stepping stone to get a shot at the NFL, then we will attract far more talent then we will lose.  Most of the guys that are in the CFL are fringe NFLers at best.  Let them take their shot at the payday, most eventually come back.
 
I know the argument is that these guys wouldn't have a shot at the NFL if it weren't for the CFL, their careers would be dead.  But if you owned or ran a company and an employee of yours came up to you and said they had an offer to make 10 times what you are paying them, would you really tell them no?

it is where we're going. has been since October.
 
the new owner is exactly who/what you think it is.

thank Flutie they finally announced this. been sitting on a lot for a very long time.

They tried to do a Regina combine but too many farmers showed up thinking it was a trade show.

no you don't. in fact, i remember it like i commented about his addition as being indicative of the sad state of your O-Line but that maybe he would play like he had something to prove and get better... 
 
i can't search the old site to find it (and really, besides looking up my old posts, what possible reason to go to that shithole could there be?)

colin pls stahp.

i'll withold comment to wait and see what happens to Bomber attendance if they start poorly and the "newness" of IGF wears off a bit...
 
houses. stones. glass. etc.

Local boy who was a high school star. A 2 year starting QB from the U of Guelph (so he and Walters likely get on well). He's been Barker's star pupil for the last few years.
 
As a Canadian QB who has made a career out of football, he'd be a good role model for anyone on this forum's son who may also like to transition into a CFL career if he doesn't get a serious look at QB because of his birth certificate.

one of the best "low profile" player additions of this era of the CFL.

the Peter Principle in action once again. 
 
weird that all 3 of these guys on our 2014 staff (Burke, Creehan, Daley) all proved their inability at superior positions in Winnipeg...

Sometimes I don't read everything you type because you've been wrong so often and your obnoxious too.  
 
My track record?  I'll put mine against yours any day.  Lets review.  I was against Mack in his last two seasons.  Against the Jade and the Pencer draft picks.  Wanted Laurent instead of Kito because we needed a DT more than yet another young receiver.  Your track record is exactly the opposite.  Loved Mack.  Argued with anyone who didn't like the Jade or the Pencer draft picks.  I can't remember if you wanted Kito or not, but I'm going to guess you supported that move too cuz you loved everything the great and powerful Mack did.

if HM does return to the CFL after a few tryouts/offers, under whatever the new SMS turns out to be, i presume he'd be among the first wave of NIs making north of 200k

Detain was always going there.

so long as he isn't coughing them up.

i think that asking for a "high draft" pick is a good opening salvo from Hervey. the report didn't suggest that he was demanding a 1st rounder so i think that there's room for negotiations here (as there always is).
 
new scenery could be very good for Nichols.

even if he gets a contract offer, it doesn`t mean he`s NFL bound. ask Chad Owens or Chad Kackert.

Awesome.  Especially in a Willy thread.

And so begins the jumping on the Burris bandwagon by 17.... I never thought that I would see this day
