Chris Cvetkovic Announces Retirement
Fantastic Bomber both on and, more importantly, off the field. Super nice guy who did great charity work...thanks for all the hard work, Cvetty!

Rory Kohlert to "test free agency"
Yep, no question he'll be back...awesome to hear.

Jade Etienne & Brandon Stewart
this. Why can't people wrap their minds around this??

Taman comments on Willy/Etienne trade
Jay Detain.....the guy we just traded.

Remaining Bomber free agents
You don't pay money in FA for an import RB. You go down to the pound and pick up one of the dozens that are looking for homes down there...

Bombers trade Etienne for Drew Willy, extend Willy
I'm still a big Detain fan, and really wish more people would understand that we drafted a 21 year old and not the typical 27 year old CIS grad. Needed a lot of grooming, lot more than normal, but has massive upside still. Every reason to believe that with a proper team around him and a proper QB throwing to him, JE can be a very productive CFLer...

Would DW be more exciting if not for ZC?
Watched Willy over the past couple years and always thought he was going to be a good one. Was really surprised the Riders didn't do more to work him in, 'cause in my mind, his top-end is higher than Darian Durant. I still wouldn't mind seeing Kevin Glenn in there to help mentor, but really, in a worst case scenario, I don't mind having a guy like Danny Mac as a mentor. That guy understands CFL QBs as well as anyone who's ever played the game. I have really high hopes for DW...the battle between he and Hall during camp should be a fun one!

Matt Nichols recently offered to Bombers
The way I figure, if they're going to offer up that 2nd overall for a QB, Tate is the only reasonably-available one that I could live with. Still seems like an awfully high price to pay tho...

Matt Nichols recently offered to Bombers
Would rather it be Glenn and Willy, but Willy and Hall would be alright in my books.

Lol @ the direction of this thread...so much fun. Ending up in a SP jpg is icing...

REDBLACKS major announcement today, Burris Signed
It's more likely to be the worst contract since Casey Printers signed with the Ticats. Except Burris has thrown for 5000 yards wherever he has played and scored plenty of touchdowns. And also throws plenty of picks, got benched more than anyone should with the money he makes, and more often than not doesn't get the job done when it gets cold outside. ...and, he wasn't 39 when he was doing all those good things...

Muamba released to pursue NFL, Signed by Colts
ha ha...that was actually pretty good. Tough to lose the guy, but hopefully it works out in the end. Not much you can do when a guy has an opportunity like this. Gotta let him take his shot! Congrats Henoc!!

Matt Nichols recently offered to Bombers
Nichols for a high pick...lol. What's funny is that Hervey thought someone would go for that.

Walters to be on CJOB live momentarily
It's not entirely about money. Turning the team over to 39 year old Burris means you are committed to mediocrity for a long time because you aren't putting your energy into developing a QB. So we win 5-6 games for a couple seasons with Burris, and back at square one. Go with a guy like Willy, and we'll at least have a chance to progress into 2015-2016. I think he's eluding to that as much or more than the money when he talks about mortgaging the future. And it wasn't a 3 year vs 2 year issue...Ottawa is paying Burris nearly half a million dollars. *alluding -- and yes, agreed on pretty much all of this...

Free Agency (Trying to be Positive)
...and if you have a plan for guys like this, THIS is why you don't drop a metric **** ton of cash on a 39 year old QB...
-
Walters to be on CJOB live momentarily
If Walters had spent the money necessary to get Burris here, I'd have lost my ****. People on here were freaking out about Walters being taken advantage of by veteran GMs out there, well here's proof that he's not gonna get pushed around. That's a flat-out ******** amount of money to put on a 39 year old QB who Austin just dumped for a nobody. Very VERY glad we said no to that, and I have no doubts there's contingency plans out the wazoo...

REDBLACKS major announcement today, Burris Signed
It's February. People need to stop getting their panties in a knot, sit their ass down and just watch it all play out. We have no slightest idea what the final product will be. People need to relax. Maybe you and Noeller don't. But I know we're going to suck major ass again this year. Bookmarked...

REDBLACKS major announcement today, Burris Signed
So much freaking out around here for no reason. This really isn't the big deal that people are making it out to be. I'm still confident we'll be in good shape come July...

REDBLACKS major announcement today, Burris Signed
Honestly feeling like we dodged a bullet here. Hopefully Bellefuille and KG5 can get past their butt-hurt, and we can somehow snag Glenn and Willy, who, with Hall, would make up a pretty good stable of QBs. If not, I'm confident they'll find some kind of solution. Not really concerned about Burris going to Ottawa.
