We need someone to anchor that line. I'm kinda surprised they let Sorensen get away.... I thought we'd keep him.

Question is, who will keep the #5 Jersey? Players generally work those things out themselves.... A few bucks passes between them. Not a biggie.

Glenn said his twitter account was hacked when he called the redblacks "snakes".... LOL! Sure. Now, what are the redblacks going to get for him? Right on, keep it up Kevin. I think it's great...

Hey, they picked up Justin Phillips.... A long snapper & a lusty 240 lb DT.... Show stopppahhhhh!

That's what happens when your mediocre. Fifty thousand yards of mediocrity?? Just a few average qbs ahead of him. Thrown for 4000 yards 3 times in his career. Passing yards are a measure of longevity, not greatness. Huh????

Glad he's here at 27 & a thousand yard receiver.

If you said that on twitter, you'd be called intolerant. Just sayin'.

Moore would be a great pick up.

I don't get it, that's for sure.... Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Can't be right. Like I said, no other media outlet reporting that.

Sounds like Turner was trying to be cute & funny but it backfired. I don't think he meant any malice even though it was a stupid thing to say. What's more "offensive"? What Turner said or the fact that Sam may be drafted lower than he should in May by the NFL? The NFL won't fine itself for that.

Okay, CHQR in Calgary is reporting that Randle has been traded back to Calgary for draft picks. If true, WTF? No one else in media is saying that...

I guess once Popp knew Emery was leaving he had more $$ to sign Bourke.

I'd think it's a pretty good bet.

Waters has never impressed me. To waste a DI spot on a punter, not for that at all.

Yeah, it's a shitty business unless you're Hank then you come out smelling like a bouquet of roses.

I love Kohlert, but given the choice I'd take Craig Butler over him every time. Bourke is American isn't he?

Wiener Wiecek.

Yes, I'm right & wrong on this board everyday. That's what makes this place so entertaining & humbling at the same time.

I don't know why you keep bringing up this false statement that the Redblacks have a blank chequebook because their roster is empty. They have 45 guys under contract right now and about as many big ticket players as guys like Edmonton or Winnipeg or hey, even BC. Glenn, Burris, Shologan, Fraser, Hage, Pottinger and Eppele don't play for free. Ottawa has a bunch of money tied up in contracts already. Not 4.2 million or whatever the SMS cap is. He is nowhere near the salary cap yet, Mike. Desjardins has a lot of room to go after free agents & build the team in the areas he wants unlike all other CFL teams who don't have that flexibility. It's still early in the game for the RedBlacks.

In a now 9 team league which has had its share of financial difficulty over the years, all it takes is one GM or owner to upset a delicate apple cart. Desjardins is known to overpay for marquis players like he did Casey Printers in Hamilton when he was GM there. Now, he's done the same for Burris. The guy failed abysmally the first time as a GM with the Ti Cats & he's out to make a name for himself the 2nd time round. He does have an advantage as he has a blank cheque book basically as he only has maybe a dozen players & isn't hamstrung like other GMs contractually because of the SMS. Give it a year or two. Certainly he's taking advantage of the situation this year as things will be much different next year at this time. We'll see how things shake out as the seasons progress for Marcel. I thought he was a horrible GM in Hamilton so I hope we kick his team's ass first chance we get.

The Riders are finding that out as well. Huff know that, though. Signing Randle was a big part of the equation that is now gone. But wow, look at the talent on that team anyway despite losing Randle. Unreal.

It'll be nice to kick the RedBlack's ass as soon as possible. They're going to have an older team that initially will probably be competitive so we may not be able to do it in 2015. But as that team ages & they're handicapped by bloated contracts, I can't wait. Eff you Desjardins. Why the hate for Desjardins? All the guy did was overpay for Burris. He's driving up salaries by artificially inflating them. He seems like a cocky & arrogant guy & now he wants a first rounder for Glenn. He wants to put the Bombers over a barrell hoping they panic & overpay for Glenn. I hope Burris turns into Casey Printers 2.0 for the man... That would be funny.

I think we need Glenn but to have to bend over for Desjardins to get Glenn is ridiculous. Glenn won't be happy unless he goes to a team where he thinks he has a chance to be the starter or that will play him a lot. I don't see a lot of teams out there willing to trade a #1 pick for the guy as he'd go into a situation where he'd have to fight for the number 1 spot like Montreal, Edmonton & even Winnipeg although this may be the team that provides the best option.

As we don't have a first round pick anymore it would have to be for next year's draft if the Bombers do pull off a trade. I dunno. We do need veteran depth. Really not anyone out there but Glenn.
