Absolute talent: Charlie Roberts. Raw determination: Reaves. If were a GM in an expansion draft: Harris

I had the honour of meeting Bill Frank when he was selling marine equipment. He shook my hand and it almost disappeared in his. I saw Chris Walby when he was being driven down St. Mary's Road in the back seat of a convertible and he nearly filled the whole seat. Awesome.

Well then. all Betts are off.

Aaand- stay out of court and avoid your favourite num-nums. A tall order for many who are ruled by ego and not smarts.

Sad to see him go, but he was a solid starter when here and now the business end of things kicks in. Clubs and players don't always have the same agenda.

I'm betting that Carter will not last the year with the Lions. He is a ****-magnet and cannot shut his mouth if his life depends on it- and his CFL career does.

Overpaying their star players to the extent where there are table scraps for everyone else and their new and shiny GM blowing up pretty much the whole team to put his mark on it. He could have just peed on the corners of his desk.

Oh joy oh joy. I will be watching the circuses in Regina, Montreal and Vancouver this season. It does worry me. A lot. Schadenfreude is fun but this is damned close to overload, but the CFL always seems to muddle through.

No hate for Kito here. Just sadness that he was never close to being the athlete he was supposed to be. A totally wasted draft pick.

Unless you are schizophrenic or pregnant, you would be an alumnus.

That's him, officer- right over there. Take the shot before he gets away.

Considering what kind of mess the Bombers were in when Harris started his CFL career, I'm not sure it would have been doing him any favour to have drafted him then.

According to Matthew Scianetti of TSN, who covered the last CFL-CBA negotiations, the negotiations today appear to have gone very professionally and well.

The ironic part was that the jury accepted that the NFL had colluded to prevent the USFL from accessing TV contract, stadia and so forth and were prepared to award a massive amount to the USFL, according to jurors who were interviewed after the trial. However, Trump insisted on testifying despite his lawyers' advice and came across as so arrogant and unlikable that the jurors changed their minds and awarded one dollar.

Well, this was this sausage maker who, in tough times, took to filling one end of his product with pure fat. Then things got better and he could afford to make both ends meat.

There's a good chance that whoever in the Raiders' organization will sober up enough soon to say, "WTF was I thinking?" and cancel the whole thing.

Terrell Sinkfield released by AAF team Former CFL receiver Terrell Sinkfield has been released by the Orlando Apollos of the Alliance of American Football League.

If you would like to know yourself and are having trouble with that, ask the RCMP. They probably have an extensive file on you.

There's another factor here- the more eyeballs watching CFL football, the more that advertisers are willing to pay. Multi-national corporations like Coca Cola, Adidas etc are willing to fork out big bucks to reach international audiences. Big foreign ratings are not going to come immediately, but its always wise to build for the future.

The film clips do not show anything all that outstanding about Mr. Warren. Only a half-dozen plays, though.

The teams have smallish budgets- the players don't have a lot of leverage, either.

Just wait.........

Looks like Manziel's ego was too big for the CFL. I should think that he will be added to the vary large list of talented athletes who were too flawed to succeed.

On that note: At a funeral, a man approached the widow and asked, "May I say a word?". The widow nodded assent. The man walked to the front of the church and said "Plenitude" and then took his seat again. The widow smiled at the man and said, "Thanks. That means a lot".

Looks to be quick, fast, elusive and reads his blocks well. Why could he not stick in the AAF? Bomber sought to be interested.
