FWIW, CBC Winnipeg sports reports that Walters has said he will not trade the #2 pick.

Obviously, this is the result of a Bender.

Riders fans are apopleptic. Taman is going to have to create a diversion to calm the masses before they soil themselves. Considering that few have changes of undergarments and even less have familiarity with bathroom tissue, this would be bad.

Can't wait for tomorrow's draft. I have told my social secretary to hold my calls.

Taman did good in Saskatchewan, and now it will take an unimaginably long string of bad decisions to get him fired after delivering a Grey Cup win in Regina for the Riders. And even if/when he gets canned, he can always get a job fronting for Subway (or Qizno's) now that Jarrod is long gone.

We can give Willy the benefit of a doubt for last season. It was a time of transition for him and the team, the O-line was porous, the running game was mostly theoretical and the receiving corps was very quesionable. Plus, Willy took some vicious hits. This year, everyone starts with a clean slate but nobody should have guarantees, including Willy. Produce or be demoted or gone.

In reality, the problem is not going to go away, as long as there is incentive for athletes to use and higher-ups to profit from it. It costs a lot of money to develop, deliver and supervise GCMS testing, but there's a lot more money to skirt or fudge them. When Ben Johnson got nailed, there were at least two other gold medalist runners who tested positive, one from Britain and one from the US but it was swept under the rug. Having a whole bunch of medaling dirty athletes in Seoul would have stained the games, so it was hushed up. Might as well throw it all open and be done with it.

I like Willy and I think it's a great signing. Only issue I ever had with him, and well the Bomber in general for continuing to leave him in there when he was obviously struggling with reads and his confidence. They (coaching staff) basically pissed away any chance we had at the playoffs by being so stubborn. I think the Willy of the first 1/3 of last year is closer to the real Willy than the last two thirds. IF he can build on that first part of the year, and learn from the disaster that was the last two thirds, and take us to the Grey Cup, than last year was worth it. If he struggles again......... ....there's always the blindfold and cigarette option.

Yup. We need to be reminded by the players and owners that the sport(s) are all about money.

Starting to feel like we're the poor cousins who get all the handmedowns.

There has to be a common-sense limit on sponsorship limits. In New Zealand, polica cars have ads on them-weirdly inappropriate, unless they were for attorneys or bail-bond services.

Damned politicians.

You're just making the rest of us look bad. And arousing a lot of resentment.

You sure about that? Point, set and match.

Sort of looks like a mouse done by Pablo Picasso in kindergarten while he was on acid.

How exactly do you put dicks in a bag? Do you have to cut them off first? Replace the box with a bag & there you go. But he said ****(s) plural, in a bag. So I was kind of wondering how you put multiple dicks in a bag. There are places where the normal human mind refuses to go.

And having Shaw hype the GreyCup would be a good thing.

I have to feel for Max- a decent person who got caught up in the macho NFL mythos about ``pushing through the pain``and instead of practicing self-care, tried to be superhuman only to pay a very heavy price. He was fortunate to have what many in his situation do not-people to stand with him, I hope he is getting ongoing support from the NFL as he was disabled while a player.

More proof that Canadian athletes in universities simply do not have the sophisticated and ongoing nudge-nudge, wink-wink support US athletes get over and above the intense coaching. Its remarkable that any homegrown football players get a sniff at the NFL.

With Westerman's signing, there are all kinds of options in both the draft and the starting lineup.

So maybe we are looking at an import MLB and two Canuck outside linebackers: Hurl and Newman.

So you're saying that if someone here plays video games (for example), their hand eye coordination or reaction time will never get better the more they play? I better tell my kids to stop learning to do anything new because if it doesn't come naturally then there's no point in doing it cause they'll never get better. Wait wait wait... You procreated? Welp, there goes the neighbourhood. Yes Spuds. I...am your father! I would demand a DNA test if I were you.

I was tempted to say that the Bombers are going to feel sheepish about this transaction, but I am puzzled. I didn't think the Stamps needed Import help on their O-line and I thought we were pretty happy with the DB's we had already signed. Oh well....

You've got chum in your mouth?

Romo was an unknown and I believe an undrafted free agent. And how has that worked out for the Cowpersons?
