Chick was/is an anomaly. He played at a high level despite being insulin-dependent for all his career and has deserved his accolades and retirement.

Not unless your are either the PM of England or the leader of the Green party.

It goes to show that Chris Jones' acumen in choosing players is as keen as ever.

More fun in Riderland from 3downnation: Riders neg list quarterback Trevone Boykin accused of domestic violence Saskatchewan Roughriders neg list quarterback Trevone Boykin is under police investigation after his girlfriend accused him of brutally attacking her.

We can hope that it wasn't a slow transition.

From the clips, Banner's biggest asset was his speed. I don't recall seeing him power past any O-linemen.

The scouting report says that he is not a hard hitter and not an explosive runner.

Well, that would be pretty darned entertaining, would it not? Similarly, I had an idea about how to make luge events at the Olympics better: intersections.

Then what will stop a defensive back or linebacker from grabbing a receiver in mid-air, carrying him several feet over and throwing him out of bounds?

Calgary Stampeders have signed former Bomber Troy Stoudamire, only after thinking long and hard if they ought to go to such lengths to make him a member of their team. The rest writes itself.

3downnation is saying pretty definitively that Muamba intends to go to Montreal, so it looks like he was using the Bomber interest as a ploy. So, screw him and that big white horse he came in on. I hope he gets what he deserves in Montreal. With a massive contract, he will be expected to carry at least the defence on his back.

Wow. I have such mixed feelings about this info.

Realistically, if there was any other CFL or Bombers news, would we still be talking about Muamba? This is all getting very old.

Apparently Duron Carter is planning to attend even though he was not invited. No rehab for stupid.

My first impression was that he looked like Blink or Pinball.

Coney doesn't seem to be afraid of traffic and doesn't go down at the first touch. Lotsa speed, too.

Right off the island....

Its all Greek to me, but it buoys my spirits to think he might displace someone.

And it may be possible that Muamba is simply using the Bombers to leverage the max salary out of Montreal.

And this is where Muamba's strip-tease act could cost him. If he delays, the interested teams could well find a blue-chip prospect or even trade for one. A Canuck MLB who is as good as Muamba has been is both rare and has the ability to give the team some very desirable flexibility, but no one is irreplaceable.

If that is the case, he may well scrooge himself. I don't think that Reed has enough self-esteem to resent being played, but Walters and O'Shea may.

O'Shea, of all people ought to understand the impact of an dominant MLB, so let's get this done.

I think that this relates to the team culture Jones has installed- screw the rules and win by any means necessary but scream loudly when confronted.

Translation: stand in the way and hope somebody trips over you.

And everyone knows that to balance the budget, you reward the top 1%. Its called the "tinkle-down" theory of economics.
