A Bomber toque and the number of the cheerleader that Burris is dating.

If they are from the US they've probably never even heard of the CFL, or Canada.

They could have taken someone else from Calgary other then Glenn if they had designs on Burris. I just think that Desjardins doesn't know what the hell he's doing, and that this is already looking like yet another gong show in Ottawa.

You mean Korey Banks lied to me on Twitter? Doing what leaders do... championing his team. And he's absolutely a great leader for doing so. But keep in mind he had no choice in the matter... his contract was traded to Winnipeg. We've been able to offer the only starting QB job in the CFL with no competition, as well as reportedly the most money, to 2 guys we coveted. And couldn't close them. Well he could have seemed less enthusiastic about it, or said nothing. Anyway, it appears that QB's in this league don't want to come here. Let's hope we can convince Drew Willy, and once he comes, he blows away all of these prima-donnas. I am actually relieved that I don't have to pretend cheer for Burris this year now. He's back to his rightful place, that choking jack-arse that I can't stand.

As for © - who else would want Glenn if we don't take him? Would he go back to Calgary?

I really hope we draft Lavertu with our number two pick...

This says more about Ottawa I think. In four years that franchise will be folding again. This was a terrible move and a bad waste of resources.

Muamba is still trying the NFL isn't he? Why would he sign until he knows whether he's getting an NFL look? Lost Kohlert? Not so fast.

This smells just like the "Khari is on a plane to Winnipeg" rumours we had a few weeks ago.

Yup. Hopefully the Winnipeg fan base understands this.

If we trade our first round draft pick in 2015 for Glenn I'll find myself yearning for the days of Mike Kelly.

The only way I can agree with you is to think that it must be an off season from hell if we're whining about NOT getting Henry Burris.

Does he turn in to Grizzly Adams in the summer time? There is like no one living in Northern Montana. Other than a few bears.

Except that if that was true, I wouldn't be surprised.

Oh well....

A cousin of Amanda Huggankiss, Al Coholic and Hugh Jass.

yes, he definitely dethroned Alex Brink last year.

I like Reilly's fight and his intensity. He also seems to be a leader on the field and has a lot of tools. If Hervey cut him in favour of Burris I'd hope that Walters would be on the next flight to Washington State to pay the Reilly family a visit.

Yup given the huge investment of time and money, it would be nice to see the Bombers finally get a return. Right now he's like an investment in a wind farm, lots of dough spent but very little power generated.

And his biggest liabilities are his tendencies to commit giant brain-farts at the worst possible times and also to crumple into a ball and disappear once the outdoor temps go under +5c. Maybe that's why he doesn't want to rush into signing in Winnipeg, because he knows he'll have at least 3 cold weather home games?

You can console yourself that we have two picks in the 6th round, one of which came from Edmonton for Merrill Johnson.

Geroy went for an import receiver with man boobs, cut in training camp by the Lions, and a 3rd rounder. Banks is probably worth a 4th or 5th rounder. If we think Poblah is worth the same or less, it's a good trade for us. Clearly BC sees something in Poblah, otherwise they would have just taken a pick, which would cost them much less. Hey - man boobs can be a big plus for a receiver, gives you an extra layer of cushioning when you are catching balls in your chest area.

This off-season just gets more and more underwhelming. These two guys are probably the absolute lowest priority signings we have. So you'd prefer we didn't sign them at all? Or just sign them and not announce it? I don't get the negative spin on this. It just "is".

That's a good article. I remember the 1980's when Lunsford would break the bank signing Dieter Brock and almost every year the guy wouldn't show up at training camp and would demand more money. Then when he did show up we would run into the immovable object that was the Edmonton Eskimos and lose anyway. I am for giving Hank a fair deal, but if he wants to play games and demand more than he is worth then he can go sling pigskins in Ottawa or Edmonton for all I care, and pull his Frank routine the first time he sees a snowflake.
