The only spot for a 10th team that could be successful long term is Quebec City. But they are building an arena and chasing the NHL, so it'll be awhile. IMO the NHL going to Quebec City would be great for the CFL because they could use the model in Calgary, Ottawa, maybe Toronto now too, where the owner of the NHL team (OHL in Ottawa) owns and operates the football team, all these groups are looking for ways to diversify and pull more revenue. They would need a stadium with lots of public funding though.

Nope. I hated on him because he couldn't play as a capable member of our roster, whether or not he was getting reps as a receiver. I knew he wouldn't be able to live up to his draft slot as a Blue Bomber, and I knew that by the time he was even an average player he'd be at the end of his lifespan as a Blue Bomber, so even if he ends up being a good player, he's not a good player for us. It's pretty easy to tell the guys that are receivers in CIS, and the guys like Parker and Etienne who just blow by inferior athletes but don't have enough game to be useful pros. To Etienne's credit, he has come a lot farther than Parker has in that respect, but he'll always lose when he has to battle to gain leverage on DB's. Regardless of what Etienne does in Saskatchewan, just a horrendous draft pick for the Bombers. At least it only cost us Jyles.

Jovon has been terrible the last two seasons, with or without Hefney.

My bad...I expected it to be a shot.

Wiecek is lucky he's covering the Bombers in 2014 and not 1994 with his attitude. He'd have been long frozen out by the Bombers staff and players, even in 2014 he deserves to be. Should be interesting to see him spar with a guy like Korey Banks, Wiecek hasn't really dealt with a strong veteran player who will tell him where to go the way a guy like Stegall would. Even had the nerve to comment negatively on Willy's suit in his article.

There aren't 2 bye weeks back-to-back like in previous years. Every team will have 2 bye weeks but they are staggered throughout the season. The schedule will be set up like it was when the Renegades were playing: http://www.cfl.ca/schedule/year/2005/time_zone/0 No it won't be the same as when the Renegades played, and that's why they need an extra week. There won't be any teams that have to play 2 games in a week because of the schedule imbalance. To balance it, everyone gets 2 bye weeks. Schedule will likely need to move up a week in future years, unless they are willing to have a December Grey Cup.

There is no way Hamilton will dangle Glenn to anyone given he's under contract to Ottawa. Fair point. I think, with 600K tied up in 2 QBs, that OTT will still cut KG in camp. Henry will NOT accept Glenn breathing down his neck. Even if Glenn (God forbid) was on life support and breathing with the help of a respirator, Henry would not feel comfortable. We may be able to get Glenn much like how Calgary got him after we were forced to cut him to avoid paying his bonus. Glenn went from Winnipeg to Hamilton to Calgary to Ottawa.

Only in 2000 when he finally decided to just hand the ball to Drummond and Millington.

Walters did mention Brad Sinopoli who played most of last season for the Stamps but as the story goes when Walters mentioned his name Mack said "who is Brad Sinopoli"? Walters also apparently wanted Scott Mitchell over Henoc Muamba. Nobody is bullet proof. Source? I recall Muamba being a unanimous pick for the Bombers, in fact Walters did a lot of the leg work that upped his stock. Etienne was the guy who had 5 good minutes at the combine and got Mack's undies in a bunch.

Glenn won't be a Bomber.

Better make that deal fast. Foster is a free agent in 5 days.

You're right. The league should never let any new QB's in, they all must be part of the "starter" club. Willy has the same numbers Mike Reilly did heading into last off-season, and has thrown twice as many passes as Reilly had at that point. No.. Not saying willy is **** because he hasn't started.. You see My blue colored have faded to clear lenses.. Willy may become the next great bomber QB.. but the probability of that statically is pretty low.. He is unproven and until he proves that he is better then Hall or proves himself to be the next starter, Hes what he was.. A backup. I'm hoping he plays at the same level as reilly did.. But i'm realistic in beleiving our o-line is not conducive to slowing down the rush of the game for inexperience Qbs. Sask had a monster O-line Giving their Qbs lots of time to settle into the game and find open recievers.. Vs our offence being built around having outlet passes because we can't handle the rush.. Sask's OL was terrible for large chunks of 2013 due to injury...they had to start Neufeld out of ratio desperation for 2012...remember Willy's scrambling in the Banjo Bowl...must have been due to a monster OL. And guess which OL was better at run blocking in 2012?

Etienne had some moments, and he certainly never backed down, but on the whole he just never could compete physically. He's got very good hands, but doesn't mean a whole lot when you can't get loose very often.

Seriously? That's bottom of the barrel, man... why not bring back Hargs instead? Not every signing has to be one worth putting a front page headline on. They can't all be Baboulas.

No. It's a new contract.

Doubt we have any interest in Glenn. Bellefeuille was still trying to replace Glenn with Porter at the end of the 2011 season. Is Glenn swallowing his pride to go back to the town that rode him out on a rail plus the meh relationship he has with Marcel too much to ask ? I'm sure Glenn wants to play. I'm not sure he would be preferred over Willy, who has a very vocal advocate in the front office. I think Glenn will be stuck rotting in Ottawa, wishing he hadn't extended with Calgary.

LOL, if you would honestly rather have Desjardins as your GM then inbox me your banking information, I've got this Nigerian prince that needs a bank account to transfer his $15 million of oil money to that he secretly inherited from his uncle. Easiest million I ever made.

Conditional pick. A 6th if he makes our roster out of training camp bumped up to a 4th if he dresses for 12 games, a 3rd if he starts 9 games. Certainly wouldn't give up anything up front for a guy who hasn't shown he's recovered from the first major ligament (and broken ankle) injury before the next one happened (ACL).

27 when the season starts.

It's not so much the broken bones, ruptured tendons as the severity and frequency. Even a guy like Buck has only had one injury that severe, the elbow in 2010, and you could argue he never returned the same after.

Take a look at the free agent list.

Or how he projects as a starting centre, when he's played his entire life at tackle and guard and only worked at centre as a utility lineman last season when BC was desperate. Steve Morley practiced at centre for us too...I think he might end up being a good one.

Dicroce was the worst receiver we had in training camp last year by a long shot. Couldn't get separation from CFL DB's in skelly, struggled with hands in unopposed drills. Combine that with the recurring Lisfranc issues with his foot, not a prospect I'd worry about.
