Mr. Perfect

Not true in the least. Two years ago when Bourke made it to free agency, granted he lasted all of an hour or two before he re-signed in Montreal lots of people on this forum were disappointed. Your spin doctoring doesn't mean his play hasn't declined - Which it certainly has.

Over slept is a cover for sure. Must have been having an internal struggle on what track suit to wear for the day.

Blasphemy.

"Figure it out later" Lets a Canadian defensive end walk who just registered 12 sacks this past season, after signing four receivers to big time contracts last offseason. EDIT: I should correct myself in saying he didn't sign four receivers to big time contracts. He did trade for Maurice Price who had a hefty price tag, and he spent a good chunk of change on Sir Vincent Rodgers, along with what he's paying for Henry Burris. Bottom line - He shouldn't be running his mouth about spending money, nevermind his history of how he spent it before he was in Ottawa with other clubs.

Funny...given his track record I'm not sure Marcel should be making comments like this... CFL News ‏@CFL_News 4m4 minutes ago .@REDBLACKSGM - “I would say a number of teams R overspending right now & will figure it out later.” #CFL #CFLFA #RedBlacks via @TimCBaines

Classy gesture. Wish him nothing but the best in Toronto.

That's what Pascal Lochard is for.

Matthew Scianitti‏@TSNScianitti According to multiple #CFL sources, Chad Owens will sign with the #Ticats.

He's certainly not wrong, but it's also very easy for him to say considering they're coming off a season where they lost only four times, and we've missed the playoffs the last four years.

Always felt Chapdelaine was a marginally better Marcel Bellefeuille.

Assuming the above is correct I'll take Messam for that without hesitation. That 70 K can be used for players that we'll also be bidding for. I have nothing against paying Harris that much money. I'm just more so surprised Messam's asking price would be that low.

Interesting considering all the implications that adding Harris was/is a sure thing.

If Macho Harris is on this team come the start of the regular season, that's a massive fail by our scouts.

Sooooo....do we get compensation?

League will fold mid season.

The trickshots were indeed a CFL promotion, and shot way before Lirim's kicking struggles began.

When you sign a one year contract with clear intent of trying the NFL again, I don't think being a leader in the Als locker room is a priority for him. Doesn't mean he's bad in the locker room, but he clearly doesn't want to be a leader and that's fine.

When your quarterback was Jonathan Crompton at the time, he's both.

He isn't wrong...

Glad you brought up Mason Crosby. He had one year (2012) at 63.6 per cent, and followed that up with seasons of 89.2, 81.8, and 85.7 per cent respectively. No reason why Lirim can't respond, especially given the fact, like Crosby prior to the down year he showed he can kick at a high level. Off years are a part of sports. It happens. It doesn't mean a player can't rebound and be very productive. I'd hate to see Lirim sign elsewhere and be productive while he pay a hefty price for someone (granted, proven if it is Medlock) given the passports of the two.

As was pointed out ad nauseum for the people who want to female dog just for the sake of female dogging...again...running backs coach is the typical starting point for any person getting into coaching REGARDLESS of what position they may have played during their playing days.

Makes all the whining about what was taking so long rather comical. Just relax and sit back and let the process play out. Fully agree with Noeller's comments. It's a big upgrade over Nick Moore despite his age for around the same money. Familiarity with Willy and Lapo is a definite plus as well.

So much this. Find me one Rider fan whining and complaining when the press releases came out that these guys were signed.
