Brandon

I think people are excited because he looked good in pre season and even better in reg season.

I went to 5 Guys on Regent for a 2nd time.... I still came away unimpressed. 17 dollars for a bacon burger + reg fries + drink is ridiculous. The patties were smaller then McDonalds regular hamburger patties.... the meat has no spices or anything added to it.... the toppings were nice but no different then what they offer at Harveys. The fries are nice but not outstanding. I have no idea why anyone would pay that much when for half the price you can have double the amount of food at Zaxx or Dairy Delight and those places actually have chili and flavour in its burgers. Big thumbs down for 5 Guys from me.

Weren't you the same guy complaining about Chevy not signing huge names? Lol

These are the kind of signings that the Jets will only make... Hopefully it turns out better then the Setoguchi signing of last season.

Spezza traded to the Stars for a draft pick and spare parts!

maher?

It's true... I looked at the list and you have a bunch of guys making Ollie or more money and they end up scoring as many points as a Frolik and they usually don't have a good two way game. http://www.capgeek.com/free-agents Outside of Stastny ... their is no real superstar free agents on the market. Most of the guys are either washed up or good depth players.

I thought TSN uses the formula and CFL is just opinions?

The extra week doesn't necessarily give Ottawa an advantage.... the team will be rusty and needs some game time to get comfortable. I'm sure Burris will be *on* but I'm unsure of the defense and if Burris is pressured... will the running game and the receivers step up? In Pre season Burris had all the time in the world to throw the ball and he dropped perfect passes to these mostly no name receivers....

No doubts.... I'd rather the team keep focusing on the young guys ... who knows maybe in a year or two Petan and Kosmachuk join the team and light it up and by that time Schiefle is an all star.... I can see the Jets signing a decent FA or two... but they won't make a big splash. No need to.

Higgins... Dinwiddie... Popp it doesn't make a difference when the qb has time to set his throws and still ends up sailing the ball 5 feet above the receivers head..... *If* Smith keeps it up he will be a coach killer.

I think Jeffries and possibly Santa Lucia also has them?

What's wrong with the Thorburn signing? The guy is a good community guy, plays with a lot of grit and a bit more versatile then Peluso. If he was such garbage then why did San Jose make a pitch for him at the trade dead line? For that small price it's a decent signing. While it would be awesome to sign some huge superstar.... I would like to know which guys are available right now? I direct this question to Goalie as he makes it seem like every single other team is signing superstars left and right and the Jets are standing pat.

I drove by yesterday and it was pretty dry.

I wouldn't expect the Jets being able to sign any top free agents.

I enjoyed the read thanks!

I'd say if the Blue brought in Damon Allen that would be like the Jets bringing in Gordie Howe

It would be good to have a master list of shuttles from restaurants

The floodway is still empty as of yesterday... The rain is a disappointment... After the horrible winter I was hoping that summer would at least be decent. Zero beach days and its already July...

Typical TSN. Couldn't they give their sideline guy an umbrella?? Mickey Mouse. They have such a good panel in the studio then cheapen the broadcast with guys like Rod Black doing pbp & expect their sideline reporter to perform like a professional in a monsoon. It just makes no sense. We could hear water hitting mics all game. If those were sideline mics why wouldn't they turn them down. Just weird production. They go to the sideline guy and his mic is dead. They didn't test it? Having Rod Black makes no sense either as he is despised by just about everyone yet, there he is... I still like the "early season form" about DA that was classic.

It's the CFL who knows what will happen. I'm hoping BC and the Riders both get crushed that would be awesome. It will be a very interesting week of football that is for sure.

You'r right overall....but there are some degrees between "inconsistent"......and "terrible". For a 30 yr old QB Smith seems to have problems executing the most basic of fundamentals, throwing the ball. I think this was the most alarming thing for Als fans.... he had time to set up his throws and he still sailed the ball way over the receivers heads.... he also seemed very content throwing bombs to the sidelines... I'm not sure if this was designed plays or not? I would think that a few dump offs to Whitaker would of helped immensely in the game.

Come on man, that's just annoying. You know why Toronto was 12 - 1. Because Bishop isn't as bad as people made him out to be. He had 22 TDs and 11 ints that year. You don't play ten years in the league if you are awful. Guys like Max Hall who flame out with no wins are awful. Bishop was simply mediocre... Hall , Boltus, Goltz were awful. He'll win if Defense and ST's score the points for him. Well if Smith keeps playing like he did then sure.... but if he manages the game and has more TD's then INT's then clearly they can win some games. If Bishop back in the day played like Goltz and couldn't even manage 100 yards passing after 3 and a half quarters then Toronto would of lost a tonne of games.

Brandon, you know they sold over 30k tickets for the game. You know a lot of people come from out of town to attend the game. Can't exactly get to the game if the hwy you're travelling on is closed. Though I'm sure what you're saying in tongue in cheek. At least, I hope it is. A true rider fan would take a canoe to the game

Don't worry about that game it's still early, check back in at the end of the season. in 23 years as a coach/GM Wally's teams have won 13 West Div. Championships and 5 Grey Cups while appearing in an additional 4 Cup games. If he would have accomplished half of that for the Bombers people would be lined up from here to Brandon to kiss his ass. The guy is was good but he still made mistakes. Also lots of benefits with Flutie, Dickenson and Garcia... Wally superstar Buono has resorted to Joey Elliott, Buck Pierce And now Beck and Partridge... Had Ottawa stuck with Glenn people would be saying Buono is gone-o..
