A Stampeder fan, an Eskimo fan, a Rider fan, and a Bomber fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves his team more. The Stampeder fan insists he is the most loyal. 'This is for the Stamps! ' he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Eskimo fan shouts, 'This is for the Eskies!’ and throws himself off the mountain. The Bomber fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells, 'This is for everyone!' and pushes the Rider fan off the mountain. 

That tweet was a joke, he was answering a joke about him coming out of retirement.

Hey, I was at that July game vs. the Argos, I must have missed you somehow.
I agree about getting around the concourse, it wasn't a problem if you're paying attention.
It's a beautiful stadium with good sight lines.
I tend to think that no matter what kind of stadium that is built for football, there is going to be some sort of deficiency, whether it be sight lines or seat width or even how far away one's seats are from the field.
It's an event. You go for a few hours, hopefully you have fun, then you go home.
IGF is a good facility to do just that.

We have to teach him he made the wrong choice. And that the comments coming out of his hole are stupid. The one nice thing we have right now is our stadium. YOU DON'T BASH OUR STADIUM!!! He must pay for his insolent remarks.
HAVE AT THEE!!!

Logan's marching off to war. It's a Holy Crusade now!!

Boy I'm going to look like a fool in my Boltus jersey at IGF this year...

I don't think anyone said it was automatic.  People didn't think anyone else wanted or needed him.  We were wrong.  Big surprise.  Stop twisting what people are saying.
 
Also, I don't see anyone on here that thought Burris and Willy were the Bombers plan all along.  Most of us thought they wanted Collaros.  Some, like Mr. P said he wanted Willy and Burris, but most of us thought they were going to go after Collaros.
 
He's gone now...we're moving on.  What do you want us to do, continue to whine and ***** that we didn't get him and hold on to the past?  No, we've let it go and now we're looking at who we want second since someone else won out on Collaros.  Now we'd like to get Burris and Willy.  Hopefully we at least get Burris.  But you never know.
 
If plan A doesn't work, you modify your goals and hope for plan B.

Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for…Rant part 3

We also just freed up $400k in cap space by releasing Boltus.

I think you are underestimating the acquisition of Matt Bucknor.

Burris must be quite excited that his main competition is gone. 

Man what a day...so Dave, what name/number are you gonna get stitched on your first ever Stamps jersey?

Yeah you're right.  Goltz, being able to run the ball and actually make a few plays by throwing, was just as equally bad as Boltus, who couldn't even hold onto the ball after the snap.
 

It really would be nice to know WHO decided and why they gave Boltus play time while Goltz sat on the bench.....
 
I'd feel at least slightly relieved if it was revealed that Burke insisted on playing him rather then MB....

Breaking: Fans of one team hopes rival team does poorly; please alert masses.

How do you do that exactly?

nooooooooooooooooo
 
anyone who calls a team FC and wears a scarf to a sporting event is a ****** of epic levels. 

KJ's peak as good as Calvillo.ha.  Now I've heard everything.
 
Calvillo had several seasons that were better than KJ's best so that argument doesn't hold water.
 
Flip Calvillo's 3-5 Grey Cup record around to 5-3 with improved performances in the dreadful 2006 (was at this game and Calvillo was mediocre) and 2008 games and he has a shot at the top-3 all-time
 
1.  Flutie - 6 MVPs in 8 seasons and 3 Grey Cup victories and 5 trips to the big game.
2.  Parker - 3 MVPs and 3 Grey Cups. Excellent scrambler on top of being a good passing QB for the time.
3.  Moon - I was actually thinking of dropping him down the list, even with the 5 Grey Cups and 1 MVP.  Seem to remember reading stories or some box scores that suggest he wasn't all that great in the playoffs.  Think there was one game where he was relieved by Wilkinson in a playoff game (GreyCup?) because he was playing for poorly.  Wilkinson helped the team win that Grey Cup, not sure what year though.  Someone can correct me if that's wrong.  Small sample size and he was only the starter for half his time in the CFL.  Still, he was so dominant in the regular season that it's had to rank him any lower
4.  Jackson - tempted to put him at 3.  3-time MVP and 3-time Grey Cup winner. 3-1 in the Grey Cup.  9-5 as a starter in the playoffs.  Only a full-time starter for 7 seasons once Lancaster left for Sask yet he accomplished all this.  91 QB rating which is absolutely incredible for the 60s.  Excellent runner with over 5,000 yeards rushing. 
 
I'd rank Calvillo just behind these guys at 5.
 
Dunigan  - doesn't belong in the conversation.  Never won an MVP award.  3-time CFL all-star which is good though.  Put up some good regular season numbers but he was pretty average in the playoffs and below average in Grey Cup games (1-2 record).  Played like crap in 87 Grey Cup before injury, played decent in 88' Grey Cup and played OK in 91 Grey Cup in brutal conditions and played like crap for the Bombers in 92 Grey Cup.  Injuries played a role in his career, but the playoff resume and lack of MVPs means he should not be a top-5 QB of all-time.
 
Garcia while putting up some very respectable numbers certainly doesn't stand out as much as Moon did in a similar shortened CFL career.  1 Grey Cup. 1 CFL all-star. The fact that the Stamps had the same record in 1999 upon Garcia's departure and still made it to the Grey Cup suggests that the team surrounding him was quite good and may have very well enhanced his stats.  Bottom line - not quite a large enough resume and didn't stand out enough during his brief tenure.  IF we were to include him as a top-5, we would have to consider Dave Dickenson as well. 
 
Lancaster - accumulater with a decent but hardly outstanding QB rating.  13-13 playoff record which is actually quite good but the 1-4 Grey Cup record would have to be held against him especially when you consider some of those performances.  2 MVPs and a runner-up.  CFL all-star 4 or 5 times.  Great career, but the lack of MVPs and truly oustanding seasons precludes him from the top-5 conversation.
 
Clements - 1 MVP, 2 CFl all-stars, top- 10 in several QB categories, several divisional all-stars.  He was very good, but when you compare his stats to some of his peers at the time, he rarely comes out on top.  Also, while he was 2-0 in Grey Cups (assistance on the first one with Holloway) his playoff record is pretty unimpressive (sub .500 with several disappointing performances).  I remember as a kid, watching his last game at Winnipeg Stadium in the 1987 Eastern Finals.  Scored a grand total of 2 points on offense.  Brutal way to end your CFL career.  Same with Reeves as well.  Good argument for top-10, but regular season stats combined with middling playoff performances aren't worthy of top-5.
 
Allen - another accumulator, more so than Lancaster though.  Many OK to good seasons.  Few great seasons.  Only 1 MVP and 1 CFL all-star in a career that spans over 2 decades.  Impressive longevity and arguably the best scrambler and running QB in CFL history - over 10,000 yards rushing.  That and his 3-0 record and 3 Grey Cup MVPs puts him in the conversation for top-5 but ultimately the lack of regular season success pushes him down the list.  I mean really, other than one season, 2005, can anyone say he was the best player in the CFL?  Answer that question and you will know why he would not be considered top-5.
 
Ray could be in the running in the future.  Needs a few MVPs, a few more oustanding seasons and some more CFL all-star nods.

LOL...this makes me laugh.

Plz change thread title to: "Penton: Rumour Mongering To Make 17to85s Head Pop Off", for accuracy...

I think the biggest thing this board has against Willy is that they've seen more of Collaros than they have of Willy. 

We have a couple things to attract a QB.... namely a starting job and an open checkbook.
