Correct, but the Redblacks beat reporter said Ottawa is taking Mateas.
wait...what? It doesn't start till 7?
With Mateas going to the Redblacks, looks like Walters will get his guy.FWIW, CBC Winnipeg sports reports that Walters has said he will not trade the #2 pick.
oh ok...thought I had the time wrong...I'm still at work! Don't start the draft yet!!!
Okay, okay, we will have the draft wait for you.

FWIW, CBC Winnipeg sports reports that Walters has said he will not trade the #2 pick.

Riders fans are apopleptic. Taman is going to have to create a diversion to calm the masses before they soil themselves. Considering that few have changes of undergarments and even less have familiarity with bathroom tissue, this would be bad.
-
Can't wait for tomorrow's draft. I have told my social secretary to hold my calls.

Make all the Taman jokes you want, but that guy brought a blowout Grey Cup win in front of the home fans in the home barn....he gets a pass for life, in my books.
Taman did good in Saskatchewan, and now it will take an unimaginably long string of bad decisions to get him fired after delivering a Grey Cup win in Regina for the Riders. And even if/when he gets canned, he can always get a job fronting for Subway (or Qizno's) now that Jarrod is long gone.

We can give Willy the benefit of a doubt for last season. It was a time of transition for him and the team, the O-line was porous, the running game was mostly theoretical and the receiving corps was very quesionable. Plus, Willy took some vicious hits.
This year, everyone starts with a clean slate but nobody should have guarantees, including Willy. Produce or be demoted or gone.

In reality, the problem is not going to go away, as long as there is incentive for athletes to use and higher-ups to profit from it. It costs a lot of money to develop, deliver and supervise GCMS testing, but there's a lot more money to skirt or fudge them. When Ben Johnson got nailed, there were at least two other gold medalist runners who tested positive, one from Britain and one from the US but it was swept under the rug. Having a whole bunch of medaling dirty athletes in Seoul would have stained the games, so it was hushed up.
Might as well throw it all open and be done with it.

I don't have a huge issue with this deal, even not liking Willy that much. It's not guaranteed in the next 2 years, so if Willy continues to be mediocre we can let him go. If he plays again like he did first 5 games of last season, then great we have our franchise QB.
It's low risk and high rewards. Good deal.
As far as Willy goes himself... I'm not sold on him. You can't teach someone to be a good decision maker under pressure. That's a natural gift like speed and size. We have a small sample size on him, though, so hopefully he will turn it around and be a lot better next year.
I like Willy and I think it's a great signing. Only issue I ever had with him, and well the Bomber in general for continuing to leave him in there when he was obviously struggling with reads and his confidence. They (coaching staff) basically pissed away any chance we had at the playoffs by being so stubborn.
I think the Willy of the first 1/3 of last year is closer to the real Willy than the last two thirds. IF he can build on that first part of the year, and learn from the disaster that was the last two thirds, and take us to the Grey Cup, than last year was worth it. If he struggles again.........
....there's always the blindfold and cigarette option.

Can recall as a kid thinking how cheezy and bush it was that some of the american NHL teams had ads on the boards and pop music over the PA during play breaks and how it wouldnt fly in clean and pure Canada.
Sorry but ads on shirts is the future for every pro sport.
Yup. We need to be reminded by the players and owners that the sport(s) are all about money.

Starting to feel like we're the poor cousins who get all the handmedowns.

Some guy on CJOB just said the NFL recently changed it's rules to be more liberal with who they invite to their mini-camps. Not sure exactly what was changed, but we're seeing those results this year.
Damned politicians.
-
I just got a robo call from the New York Giants. They invited me to mini-camp, but I didn't want to disappoint my mom on Sunday, so I turned them down.
You're just making the rest of us look bad. And arousing a lot of resentment.

Anything you can sell to bring in more money for the club teams is a great thing...
You sure about that?
Point, set and match.

Hope this is true. Also Rogers can eat a bag of dicks
How exactly do you put dicks in a bag? Do you have to cut them off first?
Replace the box with a bag & there you go.
But he said ****(s) plural, in a bag. So I was kind of wondering how you put multiple dicks in a bag.
There are places where the normal human mind refuses to go.

And having Shaw hype the GreyCup would be a good thing.

I have to feel for Max- a decent person who got caught up in the macho NFL mythos about ``pushing through the pain``and instead of practicing self-care, tried to be superhuman only to pay a very heavy price. He was fortunate to have what many in his situation do not-people to stand with him, I hope he is getting ongoing support from the NFL as he was disabled while a player.
-
More proof that Canadian athletes in universities simply do not have the sophisticated and ongoing nudge-nudge, wink-wink support US athletes get over and above the intense coaching. Its remarkable that any homegrown football players get a sniff at the NFL.

With Westerman's signing, there are all kinds of options in both the draft and the starting lineup.
-
So maybe we are looking at an import MLB and two Canuck outside linebackers: Hurl and Newman.

So you're saying that if someone here plays video games (for example), their hand eye coordination or reaction time will never get better the more they play?You can't teach someone to be a good decision maker under pressure. That's a natural gift like speed and size.
I better tell my kids to stop learning to do anything new because if it doesn't come naturally then there's no point in doing it cause they'll never get better.
Wait wait wait... You procreated? Welp, there goes the neighbourhood.
Yes Spuds. I...am your father!
I would demand a DNA test if I were you.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announced the club has acquired International defensive back Ryan Mouton from the Stampeders, in exchange for International offensive lineman Zebrie Sanders.
Mouton (5-9, 185, Hawaii, September 23, 1986 in Houston, Texas) signed with Calgary as a free agent in February, after originally joining the Stamps on Oct. 13, 2014.
Mouton was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the third round (94th overall) of the 2009 National Football League draft. He played 36 games over three seasons for the Titans. He then spent time with Washington before being released in April of 2014.
Both players participated in mini camp’s last month with their former teams.
The Blue Bombers also today announced the release of International linebacker TraShaun Nixon.
I was tempted to say that the Bombers are going to feel sheepish about this transaction, but I am puzzled. I didn't think the Stamps needed Import help on their O-line and I thought we were pretty happy with the DB's we had already signed. Oh well....

Of those three, Durant looks to be the most physical and therefore probably a clutch player. He would be a good fit here.
