Either Barron Miles or Greg Marshall will be the new defensive co-ordinator for the #Bombers. #CFL

Well, I think from the video of Jones as well as the story in the Calgary Herald it's pretty clear that he didn't tell anyone on any CFL team he would only play for Calgary. Once teams  knew he had applied to the Faculty of Medicine at the U of R they backed off. The Bombers decided to pass on him as did 6 other CFL teams except Calgary. Turns out he never got into medical school & is  now enrolled in engineering at  the U of C. No idea why Burke would say what he did about Jones.

maybe that's why he said he'd only go to Calgary, wanted to go to university there. 

I don't think Burke is a liar... he just talked out of his ass all season

The thing about Jones is true. Calgary was the only city that offered him an opportunity to obtain work in his field as part of a co-op program to tide him over until medical school.

 

And no, I'm not getting a link because I don't feel like playing internet detective today.

Brendan Taman said exactly that on H & L. I don't know when exactly, but it was either just before or just after the Grey Cup.

Well, that's pretty interesting that people are saying that now but not at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if people like Taman & Burke are covering their tracks because the guy never got into medical school & turned into a CFL All Star. Especially Taman in Regina. And Mike, nobody asked you to be Internet Detective so relax. I'll just remember that quote next time I say something you don't agree with which is always & you want proof.

It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing.

 

It's just a matter of the facts.

Both sides of the argument are true...it's a matter of perspective.

This thread has spiralled out of control.  Miles or Marshall.  Not Jones, Mack, the Draft etc.

 

I hate to be that guy, but I want to read opinions about Miles or Marshall in a thread titled as such.

well there's only so much we can say about that and it was all covered in the first part of the thread, because it's the offseason and new material is scarce the conversation here has simply evolved, it happens, my advice would be to deal with it. 

Or either stay on topic or stop

I wonder what Miles or Marshall think about Jones only wanting to play for Calgary?

Forget Miles or Marshall, how about Marshall Miles? He competed on an international level with great success.

Edit: Oh crap, he's dead. Darn.

Can we talk about Marshal Mathers in 8 Mile?

Or either stay on topic or stop

 

You have no authority here, doctor.

We have enough mods here & they do a great job. Let them take care of things.

H1N1 Year Of The Comeback!

H1N1 Year Of The Comeback!

New and improved! They should call it H2N2!

If he had you bend over and cough then it might have been H2N2 (Hand To Number Two).

It's not a pretty thing.

 

Five hundred H1N1 cases in Alberta with over 200 in hospital & I believe 5 deaths. Those are scary stats. Glad I got my flu shot last October.

LOL...3.5 million people in Alberta and a whole 5 people died from this with 200 in the hospital?  How is that scary stats?

 

That's like telling me I better not drive because there are more deaths from getting in a car accident then from getting H1N1.
