New CBA
Maybe my numbers are way off, I don't know. All I'm saying is that the owners need to be tough on the players and not compromise this opportunity to finally put the league in a really strong position, financially.

New CBA
A CFL team is not an attractive commodity. This is why you have one guy owning two teams. Why? Because they barely turn a profit in most markets. Let's get some stability for the owners and maybe turn owning a CFL team into a worthwhile investment. Until then, the players are just going to have to settle for what they're getting.

New CBA
Makes sense? No, that doesn't make sense. The players are easily replaceable. We're not talking about the best players in the world here. We're talking about the B-list football players and there are tons of them out there. If they don't like the salary they're getting, too bad, we can find another guy to do your job just as well for whatever pay he can get. The owners have all the leverage and they should use it. Caving to the players' demands would be a huge mistake.

More concerned about the health of the league than about whether Dwight Anderson can buy more diamond jewellry. 46,000 for six months work is plenty. Arena League players would kill for that.

New CBA
There's a million (literally) players that could play in the CFL and we would not notice a difference whatsoever. The owners need to fight hard to keep costs down. I'd be willing to lose a season to negotiate a fair (for the owners) CBA. The players work hard, no question, but we could find plenty more just like them to do the same job. The health of the league is the number one priority here, and it can't be compromised due to one over-inflated TV contract. I would offer to increase the yearly salary cap increase increment from $50,000 to $100,000, and immediately raise the cap from 4.6 million to 4.8 million. More than fair.

CB Stephon Morris
His best days were behind him in 2011 when he put up over 1700 yards? Interesting.

Free Agency - 2014...
Wanna bet? No chance we only have those 3 QBs on the roster when the season begins. Literally zero chance. They will at the very least bring in a young QB from the States, probably two of them. What I meant was that there seems to be little chance of another experienced quarterback coming on board. Oh. Kels said "QB prospect" so I was rolling with that. We may see Kevin Glenn here yet, but you're probably right that we don't bring in another experienced arm.

- Do NCRs (Not Criminally Responsible), once they are released, ever reoffend? The recidivism rate for criminals released from the corrections system is very high -- estimates range from 40 to 50 per cent. For NCRs, the recidivism rate is between 10 to 15 per cent. However, for those NCRs hospitalized for the most violent crimes, the recidivism rate nationally is almost zero. In Manitoba, Mackenzie said he is not aware of any NCR responsible for a killing who committed another violent crime after being released. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/columnists/making-sense--of-ncr-247992421.html

The mastery of Marcel Desjardins continues...
That's because we already have Watson and Kohlert in front of him, two legitimate starting receivers. The REDBLACKS have Hargreaves and Matt Carter to battle it out for one starting receiver position. And if they have some injuries and have to start two Canadian receivers? Yikes.

Bombers Release Two
He's a far better offensive lineman than you'll ever be!!!!
-
Eskimos release Alexander (Now Signed with the Bombers)
If Lulay's rehab is on schedule he may be ready for TC iirc. Yes but wouldn't Glenn be much better insurance then Pierce/Elliott? Yes I agree, I actually believe BC is a very likely destination for Glenn.

Tom Higgins is the new Montreal HC
Well it doesn't get any clearer than that.

Bombers name Gene Dahlquist as new QB coach

You might be "someone like that".- Etcheverry announced as Defensive Coordinator (finally)
Well maybe we can get Trent Richardson- Lions Release Paris Jackson
I agree with Dr. CFL, I think we should bring in Paris Jackson- Gold! Gold! Gold!
Hats off to the Canadian women's hockey team... that was one hell of a game. Also super happy for my attractive friend Kaitlyn Lawes who came back from a shaky start in the gold medal game to hit two clutch shots and help set them up for the win. And she looked great doing it!- CFL Draft - May 13
I'll hold out on judgment on that one. Riders got two Canadians including their punter and a good special teamer. We got a guy who may or may not ever start for us, and certainly won't be chasing down kicks on special teams.- Robert McCune Bomber bound?
Bear WoodsSo they're as desperate for a MLB as we are.Mtl has Bear Woods and who do the Bombers have exactly ?Which team would be the more desperate ? I was assuming Bear Woods is some bum. I've never heard of him. Is he any good? Hard to say. He's been with Montreal for a year (or more?) but hasn't seen a whole lot of action. - Jeffrey Bannon's house nearly completely destroyed last night
