Has he ever even worked in the NFL?? I don't think so.

Any updates on Willy's hand?
Why would Calgary let him go?

Any updates on Willy's hand?
No, we usually get updates on the first practice day of the week... which should be today, I think.

2014 O-Line
They looked ok. Willy has the tendency to hang onto the ball maybe an extra second, he took a lot of sacks when he started for Saskatchewan as well. I believe our tackles, Knapp and January, are ok... not outstanding but definitely passable. The interior still needs work. The problem is that it is very difficult to upgrade your Canadian OL. Look at Edmonton... they needed to improve their OL and the best they could come up with were Justin Sorensen and Andrew Jones. Steve Myddelton was maybe the top OL available in free agency and he has not looked good at all in Hamilton. There is the rare case like Saskatchewan who in 2012 were able to add Labatte, Picard, Heenan, and Xavier Fulton in one off-season, completely overhauling their line with all-star calibre players. But that situation doesn't come around very often. So for the rest of the teams, the best you can hope for is to build through the draft and try to score with the occasional free agent or trade. I feel like we got a steal with Patrick Neufeld... who else's 2014 2nd round draft pick is starting on their OL?? With the additions of Neufeld, Goossen, and Knapp, I think we got better, but there is still a ways to go.

Roster thoughts post game #2 - changes must be made
Nick Saban salary: $7 million Bryant Turner salary: Maybe $125,000 Can't expect CFL players to make the same sacrifices as guys making 70 times more money. Terrible analogy.

29,000 seats sold for tonight
Oh god drop it already. Nobody cares about the lack of walk-ups, and even if they did, there is nothing we can do about it now. Write a whiny letter to Asper and seal the envelope with your tears, and stop crying already,

Modern Family star at Bomber game
It's called CBS, and your grandma loves it. No she doesn't. But my mom does.

29,000 seats sold for tonight
27,000 sounds more reasonable as it was announced earlier that they had sold just over 26,000. Oh well. Tough to get people back after last year. Just gotta hope we keep winning. I know I'll be there, I'm gonna crack my first beer of the night in T-minus 30 minutes.

Modern Family star at Bomber game
Archer and Arrested development, the two most over rated shows in history. Not surprising because it seems a lot of the same people are involved. They're mildly amusing shows at best but not worth nearly the hype they get. I maintain that the people who rave about those shows are people who are desperately looking for something to like that isn't mainstream. Does "mainstream" even exist anymore? Our entertainment options are so widely varied that there are very few comedies that I would even consider "mainstream".

Could never get into Community. It was okay, but nothing special, IMO.

Not me, I go after their pair of rookie halfbacks early and often.

Modern Family star at Bomber game
I kinda ignored Modern Family for the first few years of its existence but once I gave it a try I was hooked. The writing is awesome and they use all the characters well... not many shows on TV these days give me the consistent laughs that I get from Modern Family. Did anyone else realize that Claire is played by the same actress who was Happy Gilmore's girlfriend? That blew my mind.

Elimination of waivers...hello slippery slope.
NFL Team A says to CFL Team B we would like to sign player C, we will give you $X if you release player C. Without waivers player C is now a free agent and signs with NFL team A instead of being able to be picked up on waivers by another CFL team. At least this is what I can gather from the idea, but don't know the CFL waiver process from the old CBA since teams seemed to release guys to try the NFL before without them having to clear waivers. Yes, yes, thank you.

Bryant Turner out vs REDBLACKS
How often do defensive tackles "light it up" ?? Seemed like he played a pretty solid game to me.

Hey, did you write that? That's a great article. Thanks for sharing.

Elimination of waivers...hello slippery slope.
I had a lot of trouble understanding exactly how the removal of waivers can lead to the direct sale of players. How are the two things linked? Can someone explain it to me, possibly in terms a young child would understand?

Jets Sign Mathieu Perreault
Former Capital and Duck. 3 years/ $3 million per year. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=89510 Thoughts? IMO it fills a need at a decent price. Not mind blowing or anything but a reasonable pickup.
