To the surprise of almost nobody. Any bets on him being picked up by another team? Didn't think so.

And I suspect that both careers will be as memorable in the CFL.

Who cares?

But we're bored to tears.

The possibility of a Konar-Reed-Leggett linebacking trio makes me positively giddy.

Maybe the offer reflects what the Cats see as his value and potential. Talent is not enough- we've seen a lot of talented players arrive with great fanfare and implode.

Well, he ought to be recovered by now.

Checked the Rider and 3downnation websites but no mention there.

Oooh, oooh, oooh. My nipples are hard...

Geoff Gray was interviewed today on 1290 radio- doesn't sound likely to be here any time soon.

Yes, because urinary incontinence is no fun.

A bit off current topic, but has it been posted that former Stampeder QB Jerry Keeling departed this mortal plane last week?

Konar seemed to have the physical size and skills as well as what used to be called "a nose for the ball"- a kind of spidey sense. I hope that Walters throws good money at him.

The bottom line is that if you do not have diminished capacity and sign a contract, you are bound to it. Period. Even if the contract is horribly lop-sided, you are bound to it, and it happens all the time. If the Argos want to create some goodwill, that is their prerogative to void the contract, but then a precedent has been set that other players can reference in a tort suit. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Vince's past is beginning to leak out: On a Saturday afternoon in January of 2006, a young woman walked into a Papa John’s pizza restaurant at the end of a Boca Raton strip mall and asked for help. The woman, who worked at a tanning salon a few doors down, was in tears. A man had just tried to “attack and rape her” at the salon, she told an employee of the pizza joint. That man was later identified as Vince McMahon, chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment. The Boca Raton police believed they had enough evidence to file an arrest warrant against McMahon for misdemeanor simple battery after the tanning salon employee accused him of groping her and trying to kiss her, according to a police report reviewed by The Daily Beast. The allegation against McMahon was covered at the time by local media and in an Associated Press report. Some of the details about the alleged crime were included in the reports, but press attention dissipated after McMahon was not criminally charged, with prosecutors citing a lack of independent evidence to charge him.

Several of these are definitely interesting- like Demski and Reed, whereas some are not going to be moving- like Grymes. Walters has to know that the Bombers are 3-4 players away from going to the cup, so cheaping out is not going to get the team there. Walters has to balance benefit against cost, and I would bet that if the Bombers were real close to winning it all, he would be willing to go over the cap a bit and take the hit.

Its a preview.

So the Mayo is on hold?

I think Bluto could make a pretty good case for that statement, particularly considering the odd way he came into the league.

Don't ever mention Mike O'Shea and "strap on" in the same sentence ever again. Ever.

I think its cute that you still think this matters with Jones.

Would our new quarterback have his coffee served in a double d cup?

Woukd Well, we all know how good Reed's judgement is.

Because the Bombers are not being led by a cheating bombast.

Rider fans and management have proven repeatedly that they do not embarrass easily, so this is not a gimme.
