I stopped reading after "I was watching LPGA highlights this aft"
 

Suitor is as bad, if not worse, than Rod Black lately.  

Mike Sellers retired, unfortunately. 

I feel like the NFL does good enough in the penalty department that they don't have to call every single thing as the game unfolds.  It sounds weird, but a GOOD official makes the calls that influence the game, not just every single foul that happens.  When a ref makes a call away from the play that would've had no bearing one way or another on the outcome of that particular play, I feel like they are doing a bad job.  Now, if it's a blatant chop block or a conduct-related penalty then they should absolutely throw a flag...but if you're calling a guy for holding on the left hashmark when a kick is being returned on the right side of the field you're probably being a little too strict.  

Looks like we'll be getting the Heritage Classic that winter too, and they'll just leave the extra seating.

By that, you mean that our DL's going to have a pinata party with Burris' 39-year-old ass, en route to a 37-10 victory?  Ottawa's TD by way of a DeMarco sneak in garbage time...

In for this.  Marve is the guy from here on out.
 
Where is Road Griller?

We're used to having a mediocre backup-worthy QB start and a REALLY bad QB back him up.  When you cycle through all three QBs on your roster (And then additional QBs later in the season) you don't get any closer to finding out what needs to be fixed.
 
With Glenn either starting or on the bench, we at least have a tried and true, seasoned vet available.  Granted, he doesn't like the cold and doesn't like to get hit so we might not see too much of him, but at least we get the summer games to enjoy.

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?

The longer we wait the better it'll be for us.  The bargaining chip Ottawa had is gone now that Glenn has stated he's unhappy, and like someone else mentioned before me...the Redblacks are NOT in a position of bargaining power here.  
 
All that being said, I think Glenn is the perfect guy to back up Willy and at least give us a chance to win if Willy A. Sucks or B. Goes down.  

Justin who?
 
Ohhhhhh ya, BB GUNN baby!    Drew better hang it all out 'cause we are stackin' it in 2014.  #drinkingfromtheCupalready. 

IMO Justin Goltz never had the tools to get it done, especially when you compare him to my boy BB.
