sweep the leg

It took two pages of their thread before they realized Etienne is a pending FA. It`s amazing how some people's opinion of a player changes when he (potentially) puts on their jersey.

Holy crap do I ever want him to be a good qb. I just want to cheer for a good team. It's not that much to ask...

Not my first choice, nor my second choice, but I could live with that. I'd take that scenario over giving up our 1st rounder for Glenn.

I don't see it either. I like Hall. I'm normally not a fan of qbs who lack athleticism, but I thought he showed ok considering what he was working with.

Congratulations on your rock solid hindsight logic. Any ideas who we should draft last year?

He should have at least traded his rights to an NFL team and got SOMETHING for the guy, now he's lost him for nothing. You can't trade his rights to an NFL team. It's not allowed. Thanks for clearing that up.

Good. He sucks anyways...

Why does it seem far-fetched to you. He did have a number of work-outs with NFL teams. He doesn't have the size to play Linebacker in the NFL. How much experience does he have at other positions? Special teams.

Things usually work out for us, so this will probably happen.

CJOB tweeted we offered $750k over two years. How much higher would you have gone?

Whatever you say Spuds...

Based on what?

I have full confidence that we'll find a way to not get this done.

Exactly. Make them regret taking Glenn instead of a good Canadian from the Stamps in the expansion draft.

A guy on TEP just pointed out that the CFL congress start on Feb. 4...in Ottawa. Isn't Burris a player rep?

Credibility = gone. +/- might just be the worst stat in all of sports. Every stat has it's purpose, but +/- is certainly low on the list of stats I would use to judge the usefulness of a hockey player.

that. Lalji said that wasn't true. The only place I read that we offered more money was Drew Edwards, & it seemed like he was just giving an opinion that he thought we would.

That seems to be the opinion of a lot of people around here. We have to get used to the idea of potentially having several good players on our team at the same time.

As per Wiecek on twitter Burris' agent says they've received multiple offers and will decide early next week. He also said the Bombers have been very aggressive.

Geroy went for an import receiver with man boobs, cut in training camp by the Lions, and a 3rd rounder. Banks is probably worth a 4th or 5th rounder. If we think Poblah is worth the same or less, it's a good trade for us. Clearly BC sees something in Poblah, otherwise they would have just taken a pick, which would cost them much less. If this draft is as bad as most make it out to be, a pick last year was more valuable than it would be this year. I think Banks has more to offer us than Simon gave the Riders.

Korey Banks was on H & L this afternoon and said Burris would be a Bomber. Lawless asked if him if that was just a guess or if he knew something the rest of us didn't, and he said it was "much more than a guess". He also said he doesn't sign the contracts, but would put money on Burris becoming a Bomber. Apparently they're good friends, so it seems as though they've been talking...

I appreciate the hours you must have put into those rants, but you should have noticed that we were disagreeing, not agreeing, on how our problems are b/c of the fans. It's odd, with all the research you apparently do, that you didn't notice that.

You seem like a fun guy.

Seems like a steep price, doesn't it?

My erection would be so large I'd pass out if we sign Burris & Muamba today.
