gbill2004 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hey, who knows why Burke said what he did? Mack & Burke was a **** show. Provide the link to what Burke said so I can read it as I never recalled reading or hearing it. http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Stamps+rookie+Brett+Jones+been+revelation+could+freshman/9050470/story.html It was on one of the CJOB coaches shows. Two posters on here recall Burke saying this. Sorry I don't have a full day to listen to every show to find the link for you. If you want to hear it go to the CJOB audio vault and listen to this seasons shows. It's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 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.

Floyd Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't think Burke is a liar... he just talked out of his ass all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know when exactly, but it was either just before or just after the Grey Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 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.

MOBomberFan Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Forget Miles or Marshall, how about Marshall Miles? He competed on an international level with great success. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Miles Edit: Oh crap, he's dead. Darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
