...Since you brought it up, I've been meaning to point out that its "Seeing as how"...and not "Seen as how"... That bothers me too... for all intensive purposes I could of cared less what you guys think.

and proud of it.

yeah don't worry, this place is not somewhere you'd find Regina apologists. Facts are that it's a city of 200000 people roughly, it is way too small time for an event where you expect 40k plus in the stands. Maybe if the league stops jerking off that fanbase to no ends they'll realize that you can't host it in a small time city like that.

Walters prefers Collaros that's all that matters at this point.

but it's a very good reason actually. GMs don't want to deal with players getting their panties in a twist if they weren't protected and I'd rather have the fans left in the dark than to start creating some bad blood between players and management. I mean is it far fetched at all to see some player who wasn't protected but not taken in the draft feel unwanted by their team and start looking for somewhere else to go? Yes they should all be more mature than that but we all know that professional athletes are not always as mature as they should be.

No surprise you'd hate the halftime show seen as how you pretty much seem to hate everything. That being said, the halftime show isn't meant to cater to people already at the game or watching the game on TV. They're already watching, it's not meant as a "bonus" for them. The halftime show IS to cater to, as you put it, the 12 year old girl demographic. Get TV sets that wouldn't normally tune in to switch the channel. Up the ratings, up the ad revenue, it's that simple. And as much as I can't stand Hedley, I'll take them over outdated acts like BTO mumbling out lyrics nobody can understand. I understand the idea of trying to get eyeballs on the tv that wouldn't normally be there but I'm going to take great exception to the idea you'd take these guys over the outdated acts... Those acts have staying power for a reason and their songs popularity span across generations. In summary damn kids todays

Commisioner Braley is probably just upset. Likely wants to try for a Braley Bowl next year in Vancouver and if the argos lose coaches they might not be able to get there.

Correcting you would be a full time job, I don't have time to stop for every little thing.

In fairness, you're looking for an excuse to become a Stamps fan, because your brother is... I would hardly call him a fan at all. casual observer at best.

funny how when Taman has a budget and support staff in Saskatchewan he looks like a pretty good GM eh? Imagine if Bauer hadn't pinched so many pennies here?

Durant is a giant baby about his coaches.

ugh just say no to Burris. That would make it very, very hard to cheer for this team. Plus a guy who always chokes in the cold? Doesn't seem like the kind of player to have in Winnipeg.

Ottawa has failed so many times you can be damned sure that they want an experienced veteran qb just so they at least have something to point to the fans and say "See we're better this time!"

With all the talk from everywhere about how much the Bombers want the guy I don't think it matters if anyone else is interested or not, I think they can get the guy signed if they want him too cause they've pretty much flat out said they'll do what it takes to get the guy here.

I'm happy for the ex bombers on that team like Taman and KJ and the others (except Labatte, **** that guy) and I'm happy for the diehard rider fans who have been there all along but to hell with all the bandwagon jumpers who started crawling out of the woodwork circa 2003 when TSN started this whole campaign about the best fans ever!!!1!! those people can go to hell.

Well he also played like **** after those first 2 drives. (though his receivers let him down too) He's not a winner, he fluked out the one grey cup in 08 but other than that all he's done is choke in important games every bit as much as Kevin Glenn who gets that negative rap. Throw in that Austin was already unhappy with the guy and I think the ticats try and move on.

Worst CFL season ever!

I was at least hoping for a good game to watch, apparently not even getting that. What a turd.

There's the fair weather burris. it's cold and there's adversity, better pack it in.

They're playing all their hit! Seriously do they have anything other than the 2 songs that hit the radio?

well as the day has gone on I've come to the realization that Burris winning the game MVP and Fantuz the top canadian awards to go along with actually winning the game (obviously) and having Kent Austin as the ticats head coach would be a giant **** you to all of Saskatchewan so here's hoping!

I don't take it that way at all. There isn't a better fit in the entire league, Collaros knows that. He just wants to get paid.Why is Winnipeg a better fit over Ottawa ? Because most people assume Ottawa will take Kevin Glenn in the expansion draft. It makes a lot of sense for them to do it. Gives them a veteran qb that is a safe pick to lead their team for a few years rather than relying on an unproven qb. Remember when Crowley was supposed to be the up and coming qb to lead the Renegades?

Anyone but Burris and I'd care a lot more. I just pray to god he never ends up as a Bomber cause I'd have a real hard time cheering for the team with that douchebag on it.

You really think so? You think it's not just about Collaros wanting to find out what the market will bear? Ottawa and Winnipeg need starting QBs in 2014. Hamilton, too -- Burris and LeFevour are both free agents. Unless Burris absolutely craps his pants today how does Hamilton not bring the guy back? No this is between Ottawa and Winnipeg and I get the impression that Walters doesn't give a **** about tampering so I think there's a good chance that Collaros knows how much interest there is in Winnipeg for him. Why would he sign with Toronto now? He knows he's not staying there so why sign just so Barker can try and get more from where ever he is going to wind up?

Well this is the only good thing to happen to the ticats in ages so yeah I'd expect that, but that don't make me hate Henry Burris any less. The fact that he's playing the riders in saskatchewan is the only thing that makes me want to see the riders lose. As much as I hate Burris I hate the ******** mob in saskatchewan even more. My absolute favourite Grey Cup moment was sitting in the stands in Calgary seeing and feeling every single rider fan in attendance have their soul absolutely destroyed by the too many men penalty. I am hoping for a similar result here.
