If Buono wants to give us incredible value to take a jab at a guy who didn't like the player he traded for anyways, that's great.

Or Watson. Very possibly. I'd hate to lose him but ... if you can shore up the OL, he IS getting older.

You're right, Terrence Edwards is strictly 100% honest about pleading for flags. He just gets held EVERY time the ball is thrown his way.

Gotta think Poblah would be the guy on the move.

Gotta think this is the precursor to a NI REC for NI OL deal perhaps.

Walters is doing his best to make a push for that full-time gig and quite honestly, the idea that he was able to turn Buck Pierce into a return greater than an old football and a tackling sled is making me think he might just be able to do it.

what in the actual ****

to do what? Go work as a greeter at Walmart? Seriously, this sounds just plain silly. I don't know, I'm just passing along what I was told. Sorry.

Where'd you hear this? Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity Same person that told me he signed. I hope it's not true, but I don't see how suddenly a day into the NFL season there's interest in a 29 year old pensioned, high min salary guy who's been out of the league for two years.

Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave.

Hahahahahaha wow.

Glad they finally announced this, although I didn't know they would be adjusting the CIS eligibility as well. That's very interesting, although it makes this draft year confusing because they're essentially going to be combining 2 years of CIS eligibility into 1 in the 2014 draft if I understand things correctly.

Why with each passing week? What is happening here that is making you think this way? That's what I didn't quite get either. What were people expecting? A weekly presser to update fans on the goings-on of their GM hunt?

I looked back at 2012. Elliott won 2 games for us. 2 games. One over Hamilton and one over Montreal. Buck won 2 games (Hamilton/Toronto), Goltz won the last home game against Montreal and Brink won that fluky game over Edmonton. I honestly think the legend of Elliott as this "game winner" for us has been largely over-blown. And in terms of excitement, that excitement he provided in the LDC and the away game against Calgary last year had me bent over a toilet puking, and it wasn't because of how drunk I was (though that helped). I don't care what anyone says, a shitty defensive stand in the final 30 seconds vs. BC and an awful coaching decision vs. Saskatchewan cost Joey Elliott two wins. He did enough to win those football games. Did he win? No, but he had the lead with less than a minute to go in both of those games and even that is a lot more than anyone on our roster can say currently.

worth pointing out ... he's never done it when we're losing

I would rate it as one of the more realistic neg lists in the league So when Penton had one of his CFL insiders tell him that the Bombers neg list was the worst in the League according to the insider's GM that insider/GM is full of hooey? I think what Mike meant, that since neg list players rarely end up as anything (Remember when Taman neg listed Deion Sanders?) that our neg list have the most potential of ending up on our roster. Penton's source may be right but really means nothing. Pretty much. Put it this way ... Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin and Colin Kaepernick are all still on CFL negotiation lists. So are guys like Doug Martin and Montee Ball. Not an absolute ton of home runs on our negotiation list and I would never claim to know the whole thing, but the guys who have been on there for a reasonably long time are what I'd consider decent bets to come to the CFL (AND be effective -- No Tebows)

Go figure Tim Burke would want his players to look as bored and unemotional as he does. Here's my question and as much as I'm asking it because I dislike Burke, it's also a serious question ... has he ever been anything but critical of his players in the media? Can anyone remember a quote or anything printed in the papers from Burke indicating he was pleased with an individual performance? It seems like every time he discusses one of his players, it's negative.

Really what this boils down to, Iso, is that you don't want the best man for the job. You want the guy YOU think is best.

Former Green Bay Packer Aaron Rouse 6'4" 225 29 years old

I think you misread the tweet a wee bit LOL

Could his career be over?

Yuck.

Do you have any inkling who they are trying to trade for? I have an inkling on who they WANT to trade for, but I don't think that's who they're going to end up acquiring. No doubt they want Chris Best. Wasn't Best a free agent at the start of the year? Yet another guy that Mack refused to go after? Nope. Best was signed to an extension in 2012 that carries into 2014.
