The Bombers couldn't have given a third round pick for Laurent - the Eskimos gave up their second round pick for him.

Where has it been shown? Most people I know want the royal blue back but there is no way any of us can speak for the majority of fans on this. The casual fan is a strange beast.

And by fanbase you mean the hardcore minority who post at message boards. I prefer the royal blue too but I don't think we should presume the vast majority does and/or cares.

#11 is NOT available

Medlock apparently wasn't too happy having the punting job taken away last season so maybe he might want to move on.

Dave Dickenson started as RB coach for the Stamps. Hufnagel is such an idiot.

Who has said it was Jones' fault? Even at RiderFans they weren't blaming Jones from what I read when they were first released.

Volny signed a 1 year deal with Montreal as a FA last season.

There are a few players I think would be considered to have as high or higher profile than Dressler. Ted Laurent, Duron Carter, Andrew Harris and a few others.

Dressler is the highest profile FA of the off season?

So you liked what you posted so much you had to post it again 3 hours later?

Not a supplemental draft pick. This is from Lawless' article at TSN.ca: http://www.tsn.ca/cfl-drafts-new-anti-tampering-policy-1.427315?platform=hootsuite

They aren't running football operations.

We were never close to a deal with Collaros, Burris or Muamba. Collaros' agent never responded to our offer despite it being basically the same as Hamilton's and our offer to Burris was no where close to Ottawa's. Muamba's grand tour certainly showed we weren't close to signing him either. Collaros wanted to be closer to home and Burris and Muamba went to the highest bidder.

I would expect that most, if not all, of the business elite in Winnipeg belong to the Chamber of Commerce and have met each other at their functions as well as at various charitable functions. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if most have memberships at St Charles Country Club and send their kids to the same private schools. Winnipeg is not that big that they don't know each other.

Everyone knows or knows of everyone when it comes to the movers and shakers in this city. And what you expect is what the make up of the BoD already is.

Where in the CBA does it say that? I can't find anything that says it has changed from what it was in the past.

An injured player can be released in the off season. It's only during the season that an injured player can't be released unless they agree to it.

Jeez, January has been a terrible month for losing some great talents.

Her brother, Daniel, died today. He also had cancer.

You're assuming he was offered the position which there is no proof he was.

Long past 3 now. In the past week: Alan Rickman (Snape from the Harry Potter movies) died earlier today. Donna Douglas (Ellie Mae from Beverly Hillbillies) died a few days ago. Character actors David Margulies (Tony Soprano's lawyer in The Sopranos) and Richard Libertini also died recently. Locally, John Harvard died recently as well.

We have. His name is Matthias Goossen.

The official Facebook page for David Bowie posted the following: A truly amazing talent has left us. RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

With some of the comments being made about Howell I thought I would post this response Mike made to my question: The players love him. And people who know better than I told me I was dumb.
