Like the optimism: Paul Wiecek‏@PaulWiecek·2 mins "Our big concern is it's going to be a long layoff when we finish first." -Kyle Walters on his team having a bye in the final week #bn

Moe Khan‏@MoeKhan19·13 mins Big improvement for the @CFL to have 9 doubleheaders on Friday night. Last year was too little. #CFL Gonna have to watch my drinking on Fri nights (as well as the games on TV).

Here's Turner's tweet: "@Blitz_Turner: Michael Sam locker room gonna come with complimentary robes." Not in the same league as Bruce's nonsense. edit: And Bruce has been released by the Als.

Tributes keep pouring in: Obby‏@obbykhan601 hr Congrats on a great career @cvety50 Great player, great team leader, great community guy & even better in the shower. Another old timer gone Congrats to Cvetty on a long and successful career.

I suspect that Jovon's current contract was negotiated just after he won the MODP award and is very financially advantageous to him. From Tuesday he'll be able to see for himself what he's worth on the open market.

Was that in the print edition? That's the second reference I've come across to "today's Sun" where I haven't been able to read the story in the online edition.

Hope he gets back to his old form:

That's what I'm wondering about. Can't see how Rory is not looking at Burris and thinking "This guy could be very good for my career. $$$"

This is so true. And you know what they say about hindsight but it was Kelly's decision to drop Glenn that has left us in the poop ever since.

Didn't Desjardins sign Casey Printers in Hamilton for something like 500k ? And now over 400k for Burris. I'm glad he's not our GM.

Now that Burris is in Ottawa I wonder how it's going to affect Kohlert's decision next week. Over the last two seasons Hank threw for over 10,000 yards. That's got to be an attraction.

The way things are going, I predict a lot of empty seats at IGF this year.

Only 8 days to go. Great!

I'd like to see them sign Jade. He was looking pretty good until he almost got decapitated by some Rider thug in the LDC.

Which is why Montreal can throw lots of cash at Burris, if they want to.

Evidently, Ryan Phillips is going to miss Banks: Ryan Phillips‏@ryan_4real21 10 mins My brother from another mother @24Banks will be missed. He's one of the best players, teammates, friends and brothers I have ever played wit Ryan Phillips‏@ryan_4real2110 mins @24Banks best wishes to you and your football future. We boys way beyond football so you know what it is But it's a sad day for BC Lion fans Ryan Phillips‏@ryan_4real219 mins @24Banks as well as teammates. My guy has hall of fame credentials and is without a doubt the BEST CFL WEAKSIDE HALFBACK THIS LAST DECADE.

How old was Barrin when he came to the Bombers? Granted, a lot younger. But in Banks's case I'm hoping it's the leadership that works out.

The last time we picked up a proven leader from BC (Barrin Simpson) it played a large part in making our defence, which had been the worst in the league the previous year, respectable. Let's hope history repeats itself.

said it before, will say it again: "geography". Yeah there are reports coming out to this effect: Paul Wiecek‏@PaulWiecek 9 mins I"m hearing Bombers offer to Collaros was competitive with Hamilton's, but the QB wanted to remain in S. Ont. to be close to family. Also interesting is: Paul Wiecek‏@PaulWiecek 7 mins Bombers submitted offer to Collaros on Weds, but never heard much back after that. All the negotiating went on with Hamilton.

gary lawless‏@garylawless17s Ticats sign Zach Collaros #bombers #cfl Ah, ****.

Doug Brown‏@DougBrown9711 mins Grab the cheque book, and charter the jet. Collaros is officially a free agent today. #Bombers #Work

I don't really care about Calvillo's records. What worries me is that now that Montreal is no longer saddled with AC's contract I reckon that they are probably the only team in the league that has more cap space than us. This could make life difficult for us come Feb 15th.

Damn, I was just starting to get excited: davedbenefield‏@davedbenefield39 mins @Jay_and_Em @egoldie80 no no no, I'm sorry, I meant to say The Browns should interview #CFL john hufnagel of the #stampeders

It's only January and already I'm getting depressed.
