"We have every right to feel that way because we haven't won a Grey Cup in 25 years!!1!"

never mind "playing well" as a rookie...he set a franchise record. But once again, the famed zero-patience of this "fan" base rears its ugly head.

Moore was coming off one year in BC. Weston Dressier is a CFL All Star and widely recognized as one of the best players in the league. I'm not saying there's no risk, but don't call it similar to when we signed Moore....

I hear it's going around.................

What'd I miss about Toews that he can't go...?

Best way I had it described is: "It's not legal, but you can't be sued over it"

One other thing mentioned in the presser that's sorta interesting, is that Walters apparently has a bunch of stuff going on re: our own FAs. He dodged and ducked as best he could, but you got the impression we'll see a bunch of our own signings coming up in the next week...

It was live on periscope earlier, for folks who want to go back and watch...

-US Mini-camp normally held down in Florida in April is now going to be in Winnipeg because of the current state of the dollar. Just doesn't make financial sense otherwise. -As noted earlier, Walters spoke to Moore's agent weeks ago and let them know they wouldn't be extending a contract their way prior to Free Agency.

Glad to keep Buck in the fold. Figured him and Lapo would have a good history...

One other thing I'd forgotten about Dressler is that he's a solid returner, too....that could help.

With DW a FA in a couple weeks..........will it matter.............?

We're paying him less than we were paying Moore....and we're getting a clear upgrade at the position. I see this as SAVING money on an upgrade,.....

Anyone check on Iso yet?

and Lapo did coach him right? ...In theory there's some chemistry there...?

Don't say that or Iso's going to throw a fit for you sending the wrong message and getting his hopes up!

What in the hell happened to Hutch from this time last year to now?

toooo much outer-space-y fantasy........... :s The stuff on earth with the drunken Saarsgard is always solid tho. Needs more of that...

Bullshit. Winnipeg has plenty of bargaining chips. As we've heard over and over, the stadium itself is a huge draw. I believe the coaches, to a degree, are a draw. Then we heard from Westerman last year that when they were trying to recruit him they "run things like an NFL organization". Nobody's saying it's perfect right now but we're not a place everyone's avoiding.

If there's one thing Stallone's "Expendables" tried to tell us, is that there's too many p*ssies trying to be action heroes (Hutcherson...Ephron...seriously??) these days. Back in the day, it was legit tough guys like Stallone, Willis, Arnold and others. You wanna do a prequel for DH, fine....but make it a tough guy....make it a man.

Vinny Sutherland we hardly knew ye....

Yippie Ki huh huh huhhh

I got really tired, really quick, of all that extraneous bullshit. It distracted from the actual games and the team...which are the real story. Why do you need a freakshow/sideshow?

That's my thought too...now that Rodgers is gone to the NFL, they're gonna likely toss some big money at Dressler.

I don't think landing Dressler gets you what the fans want. Unless this guy's taking a pay cut, he's way too expensive for his age.
