lol are you serious with the cheap rate? you could sign a guy for league minimum to do nothing also. This is an awful deal. 1.2 million for what? no need to watch the free agent frenzy tomorrow cuz we are DOING NOTHING AGAIN.

actually, the floodway has been opened.

About 5 years ago I kicked the tires on a gorgeous brand new Dodge Challenger. Purple. "Plum Crazy". So sweet. Still bought the mini-van instead. We were always out of the Stastny sweepstakes. Rolls eyes. we were always out of the stastny sweepstakes though. You are kidding yourself if you for even one second thought we had a chance to sign him. He doesn't care for Winnipeg, has made that known on more than one occasion.

The weather definitely played a role in calgary and sask though. Not sure why it didn't really hurt the home teams but it sure did the road teams, perhaps someone in calgary and regina could tell us if the weather was like that for the entire week? I didn't think the games were that bad, just thought a couple teams (montreal and hamilton) sucked.

Stastny will be over paid, i'd rather someone else over pay him anyway. Never thought for one second we had a chance at him, i remember he was asked a while ago about the Jets returning and he said he wished it was Quebec City instead. We already have a paul stastny on a decent contract anyway, his name is bryan little. Jets didn't make qualifying offers to the following.. Halischuk, Ellerby,Wright.

darren bauming tweet Korey Banks back on Jan 31: "Before I let somebody tell me I can't play this game no more, I'll walk away." I guess he'd decided to walk away.

That would be because Austin probably would have to admit he made a mistake signing collaros, would have loved to see it, imagine if lefevour or masoli went in and actually moved the ball? not saying signing collaros is a mistake but if you were austin and stubborn like he appears to be, would you want to pull your prized free agent in the first game and see the guys you decided to not go with as starter do better than he did?

what the heck happened for real, is this seriously all because he wasn't a starter and wouldn't accept his role as a backup? if so, that's pretty brutal and selfish on banks part. There has got to be more than just that though. I mean, has to be? No? or is it really as simple as a 34 year old on the downside of his career wouldn't accept a backup role. If that's the case, what other team would want him? I'm not even sure Ottawa would take him actually, what happens if he starts a game, sucks then is replaced? does he ask for his release there too?

you know, we had the same weather here right. i went to mts yesterday to get a new cell phone, there was more people at the mall then there was at the rider game. Wish i was being sarcastic there but i'm not, i couldn't believe the amount of cars in the mall parking lot. yeah the rain was bad, we got the same thing here, the exact same thing really, concordia was flooded by kildonan east school, several other streets were too, downed power lines, broken trees down on every street, still didn't stop people from going out. Yeah those pictures are brutal but guess what, those pictures looked like they were taken from my front street.

Weird part was, even though sask got 10 sacks and 4 were on collaros at least, it looked to me like sask was for the most part only sending like 4 guys on the rush. That oline was brutal and probably will be brutal all season, they were the worst oline last season too, gave up the most sacks at least, collaros needs to make quicker decisions, i'm not sure that is something he can do.

Thought the free press had a clever little slogan today "Banks interest rate goes down".

watched most of that game last night, nothing else to do with the monsoon. Noticed collaros hangs on to the ball too long, yes hamilton gave up 10 sacks but not all were just on the oline, i'd say at least 4 were because collaros panicked and hung on to the ball too long. He's a good quarterback but i think he may be a bit over rated due to playing in Milos offence last season. Like another poster mentioned, harris and gale looked pretty good in the pre-season for the argos so i think maybe the system last year was a little bit better for a guy with collaros' skill set. Not sure what hamilton was doing last night though, gable only had 3 carries. Guess when you have no threat at running the ball, the D can just pin back and go all out and go after the qb, kind of like what calgary did to montreal too. No running game = no passing game really. Part of the reason the bombers looked so good thursday was because basically it was a 50/50 split on how many times they ran vs how many times they passed the ball. Kept toronto guessing all night long, hamilton became obvious, so did montreal, you knew they weren't gonna run the ball and in those conditions, i think you needed to run the ball, look at sask, their rb had like 25 carries, gable had 3.

not saying i disagree but.. lalji and tsn jumped the gun yesterday by saying he was released so i'm not sure i'd really take what this guy says seriously at the moment. They had an article on their main site yesterday saying banks was released, IMO, they lost a bit of credibility with that, i like farhan, i do but i think a bit of his credibility has been lost. If he's on the suspended list, i dunno, might mean that he did indeed fly home on his own, doubt they could put him on there if they told him to go home. I don't really know how that works though.

lol yup quoting myself... cuz gagner was traded from tampa to arizona (coyotes)

gable had 3 carries all game, WTF ticats.

That's not on Austin, its on the oline, 10 sacks against... don't care who the coach or qb is, you can't and won't win giving up 10 sacks.

10 sacks.

what did forde just say.. the west has outscored the east 105 - 39 this week? lol. YET another SACK

And in first place in the east at 0-0 the ottawa redblacks.

I posted a comment on that very point more than 4 hours ago, and they must have "lost" the posting as it still hasn't shown up. So now I posted a question as to where my comment went. I guess they don't want to show it. TSN has lost some credibility there.

say it once again, sask played in this weather too and looked good, hamilton hasn't.. yesterday calgary and montreal both played in the same weather, calgary dealt with it, montreal did not... Not sure why the SI writers would crap on it.

19285 attendance, don't care what excuse black is using, gimme a break with the "flood ravaged areas" bs. That crowd is weak. Its been raining here too.. jesus, i get it, its raining but under 20,000 is weak, rain or not.

not so sure he was in bounds there, pure luck on that throw, wobbly little max hall like pass there.

guess you haven't read the article they did on the bombers then cuz they praised it pretty much. Sask is playing good, calgary played good, not their fault hamilton and montreal didn't show up.
