so it sounds like we've recruited allstars at every position, awesome. Grey Cup here we come! God I love this time of year.

The fact is that the OL was really good the last games of the year with the 3 Canadians inside. I'm not big Neufeld fan, but there wasn't any noticeable drop off. I ain't worried about the OL at all this year. It's been a focus of drafting and we have rock solid american tackles.

If we don't have depth to play 3 canadians on the OL when Walters has drafted so many so high why is he even employed?

pretty please?

CFL draft has too many variables to just simply go BPA. It's Kyle Walters though, at least one of his first two picks is going to be a lineman, probably offensive cause he believes in doing that.

Nope Cranston. and yes those damned bobcats are always a concern, never seen any of them but woke up one night last summer to a huge assed coyote standing in the street yipping away. I don't have any logos on the house but I wear bomber gear often enough. I'm only a few blocks from the jr. highschool.

Oh way up north eh... You want to talk deep south try Cranston, or as I refer to it, North Okotoks.

he has the most selfish attitude i have ever seen. not the kind of guy i'd break the bank for at all. more trouble then he's worth

Henoc Muamba is dumber than a sack of hammers. Hell of an athlete but just a real dumb **** from everything I read abou thim.

How many times have guys got excited by all the tall receivers they signed in the offseason only to have them not pan out? Size doesn't make a receiver good, it's just something that helps.

Give me a team that wins more than it loses in the regular season every time and eventually the playoffs will take care of themselves. Seriously people don't we remember what happened the last times we fired coaches because making the playoffs just wasn't good enough?

The only opinion from Rod Pedersen that has any merit is how Chris Jones ass tastes.

yeah the honest trailers are usually pretty solid, some of them are just perfect.

OK serious question here, is there really THAT much difference between 220 and 215? Like honestly 5 pounds makes a guy too small or big enough?

I don't know, which is why I don't go about making statements about exact contract values.

plus incentives... that seems to me like it can add up pretty quickly since it's probably pretty easy to hit incentives.

A lot of those changes seem like change for change sake and I hate that. Why give the refs more to worry about? They already can't handle the workload they already have.

My theory is that he's actually kind of dumb dumb.

What I wonder is at what point does the guy just want some job security? You know don't go for the biggest pay day all the time and get a good salary on a stable team and keep playing rather than going through this whole dog and pony show every year trying to play people against each other to get the maximum dollars. I really think that Muamba's agent is the driving force behind this. Probably always in his ear about how much money he can make and all that. Guy has been a pain in the ass since day 1 and I just wouldn't pay top dollar and change my teams salary structure for a player who is known to be a total mercenary.

Walters has always been pretty good about not getting involved in the dog and pony show of just giving guys money for the sake of getting them signed. He's a methodical and thoughtful guy. Doesn't make impulsive decisions and I like that about him.

That one was pure politics and it goes all the way back to Chretiens campaigning on "we will remove the GST" it was purely a very prominent way for them to play the "see unlike the Liberals we keep our campaign promises, you can trust us when we tell you something" It wasn't done with any intent of actually being good for the budget and I am sure they knew that when they did it, they simply wanted to give a big old middle finger to the Liberal party.

You know I think Slay was a case of people liked the name so much they turned him into a better prospect than he actually was.

Yeah but they did a lot of their work with the finances on the backs of the GST and NAFTA which were Mulroneys babies. See here is the thing, a lot of times you don't see the true impacts of a government until they are actually out of office. The other thing that Chretien and Martin did to help them balance the books was download more costs onto the provinces. It's not a simple black and white issue ever with the budget. There are so many moving pieces and so many long term things that it is hard to simply look at one snap shot in time and say X did this.
