And Tate then traded to the Peg !I'm going to personally buy you a blow up doll and tape Tate's head to it and you can go to town. Maybe then you'll shut up about him. I was told by jbr that all gay jokes are unacceptable. This was an ignorant comment towards all men who are born with a fetish of banging blow up dolls in the mouth.Ftr I think Tate would fit nicely in Ottawa with Burris that would be awesome watching them fight. I realise your feelings are hurt and ego bruised since you quickly found that few if any people share your ignorant perspective. But stop digging. You're only making yourself look more foolish. You should *choose* to shut up. Coming from a guy who promotes 120 lbs kids wrasslin in front of 20 people I don't really think you can be the judge of who looks foolish or not. Regardless *if* Calgary for some reason re acquired Glenn I would assume they would dump Tate based on the fact that they believe BLM is the future and since they re upped both he and Tate's contract financially it wouldn't make sense to keep all three. I would take as a back up purely based on the fact that he's more talented then Max Hall. Back to the original subject (kind of) - Didn't Calgary have Glenn, Tate & BLM on contract for the last two years? It has served them well - I wouldn't expect a change from that philosophy.

Lol... Twitter hacked... Definitely looked like he meant to PM someone and ****** up

Pretty sure the team informed him that he wasn't in the plans and let him retire rather than be released. Ian Wild and the fullback we drafted last year makes him disposable

Walters dropping the ball again (amirite?!)

Did Ottawa pay Burris 465k/yr for 3 years. If so that is what I would call mortgaging the future....financially. QBs have notorious egos so paying this old guy 1;3M is madness. You can win a GC with a less than average QB (Sean Salisbury) if you have great D and a decent offense... No. An average quarterback and defence can get you to the big game... only to get blown out by a great quarterback... see 2011. Cmon now... we hardly got blown out. That game might have ended in the Bomber's favour if Willis hadn't dropped that gimme interception for a touchdown. (The bombers were down by less than 10 at that point and the lions ended up scoring on that drive - the drop was a 14 point shift)

Burris may be trying to get the cost of a full body cast and iron lung included if the O-line isn't upgraded. Hamilton's oline was worse than ours and he survived. my thoughts - Burris' biggest upside is his ability to escape pressure

Just because your milk is past its best before date doesn't mean it isn't still good enough to drink - I think Banks is the kind of guy we need on our team to right the ship.

I like this hire... It sounds to me like whoever we hire as DC is going to have help from both Oshea and our ST coord

I dunno... their QB position doesn't seem that bad They have Bo Levi who has looked good when playing and Tate who has looked exceptional when he isn't hurt... I would trade that for what we got in a flash.

He really didn't show much loyalty to the Bombers declaring his retirement prior to the draft eh... couldn't have just mentioned it to Walters so we didn't need to protect him and announce the retirement after the draft? Watch we wasted a pick protecting Labbe because we had to send in the list before he made his announcement.

Lavoie isn't that much of a surprise, he was really good for the Alouettes in 2012 (their offense didn't use him at all this year but I don't think that was his fault) Green however.... really makes you wonder what we protected (and that they are really sticking to their guns about not taking free agents)

You mean guys like Foster? Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. What other moves were there? The Neufeld trade? Well why don't we wait to see the guy play before we judge that one? There is really very little to go on for the guy at this point, it will be determined when they play some games next year. I still think the Foster for Buck trade was a good one... even if Foster ends up being a complete bust we weren't going back to Buck and it completely eliminates any chance of going back again this year. Ripping the bandaid

Stubler left Edmonton after Tillman got rid of Ray with no real plan at QB... wouldn't you droplift off that sinking ship to the class of the league in BC?

It's my understanding he was on a one year contract just like most assistants are. If that's the case then the Riders can't stop him from leaving. All indications out of Montreal indicate Thorpe is being groomed to be HC next season. I really liked Thorpe's defense this year - Balls to the wall pure aggression all game long, every single game. I don't know what he was doing on the backend, but it didn't even feel like they were getting blown up on big plays all the time with the constant blitzes either.

yeh... considering the reffing for the last 5 years I'm not shocked that he wasn't extended.

Or perhaps an excellent judge of a players ability to play Quarterback

Andy Mulamba. That is yet to be determined... as far as I can tell he is doing alright with the Pack, it will be telling since due to injury they have to start him.

G*A*Y

Mike Kelly for DC and OC... he can go both

To me listening to it, McManus came off more like he knew what he needed to do to get paid for an full year as a player. I wouldn't say that it means he has a "solid understanding of the CFL’s collective bargaining agreement". It was a lame question from Penton in the news conference, going for a good quote, instead of asking something that might be important. It was a joke...

There are arguments both ways... invitational camps means you don't up wasting any time on guys who show up and have absolutely no chance of peaking your interest whatsoever (since you want to look at everyone coming) non-invitational camps have a lot more faces (some of whom shouldn't have paid the money to show up and are a waste of your time) and you can sometimes see someone whom you never heard of but impress enough to take a second look.

Or a smoker --- Saying this is the second incident being evidence of a problem totally ignores other evidence showing the opposite. It is telling that this location has had FIVE restaurants close down in this location in 4 years... Before Pots and Hands and before Thea's there were 3 other businesses that bit it there One was Charlottes Cafe which facebook tells me seems to have been run by a pretty white woman (VERY white... with flaming red hair) named Charlotte (who also appears to be straight based on facebook photos) - and somtime before that was a Chicken Delight that was owned by a Randy Wiebe (I couldn't find much but name alone would suggest he was from the area). Think about how it must feel to open a restaurant thinking you are realizing a dream (of owning your own business/restaurant) and things start to go wrong... In the case of Pots and Hands these guys were very accomplished cooks preparing food that was, at least in their opinion, a step above anything else available in the town. Things aren't going well and you just can't figure out why and suddenly you remember that some idiot called you a couple of fags... the cogs start turning and you remember every negative interaction in the light of homophobia (perception can be a powerful filter). Step forward 8 months and now you are the new owner of a restaurant that you believe closed because the town was close-minded, things aren't going well despite the fact that people should be coming in droves to your place (at least you think they should be). You start wondering why you can't get enough business to stay afloat and you remember that this town is a bunch of close-minded bigots... right you even had someone make a racist comment at you once... it suddenly all makes sense. --- Nevermind that no matter who you are, where you are located - if you own a business where you interact with the general public you will encounter close minded idiots. I wouldn't be shocked if the previous owners of the businesses could also look back and find some form of discrimination they once experienced from a patron and blame the failure of their businesses on that as well if they chose to make that their story. I'm sure gay restaurant owners in San Francisco have, albeit on rare occasion, had homophobic slurs slung in their general direction by customers unhappy with their service. --- Which is more likely - Thea's and Pots and Hands ended up closing because their business model in this location was a bad one, just like the two (maybe three) restaurants that had to close in that location before them. OR The other two restaurants that closed means nothing - Pots and Hands and Thea's would have thrived if it wasn't for the close-minded bigots who populate the town of Morris.

I read the post. The problem is that this councilor is taking the wrong approach. He shouldn't be going down the "nothing is wrong, we've been framed!" route. He would be better off doing something proactive, starting up anti-discrimination groups, campaigns, etc. That's how you clean up your town's image. Not by saying "No, no, no!! They're lying! Everything is GREAT here!" Do I believe everyone or even a large percentage of Morris are racist or homophobic? Nah. But that post does absolutely nothing to help their cause, in fact it makes them look worse. It can be difficult to tuck your tail between your legs and try a PR (essentially) campaign showing how you are taking steps to fix a problem you honestly don't believe exists in your community.

I've been impressed with the Argo's depth in non-QB personnel for the last couple of years... if this guy has been involved in that depth then I'm very excited to see him come here.

Woah...woah...woah...now let's not go jumping to conclusions. I was gonna say
