Allouettes neg list Terrelle Pryor
He looks like a blue-chip prospect, as long as he hasn't had any Pryor convictions........

Kevin Glenn has requested a trade
They could then suspend Glenn and not pay him. And then Ottawa would hold all the cards until Glenn retires or caves.

Considering how porous the O-line was for the past couple of years, we gotta go with the big horses.

Meet Gary Etcheverry
Were we really losing because the rookie Americans weren't good enough though? I thought you guys all liked to point to lack of veterans and NIs as the big problem? Too much blind hatred going on. We were losing because almost every facet of the team wasn't good enough- not the general manager, the coaches, the scouts, the drafting and most of the players. There's enough blame to go around, so line up.

Meet Gary Etcheverry
A note of reality: coaches like Hufnagel and Kent Austin who are immediately successful are very, very rare. With that in mind, as much as we would like to see O'Shea wipe the field with every opposing team, we are probably headed for a up and down season. If we get to 9 and 9, that would be wonderful, and making the playoffs would send fans into ecstatic rapture, but the odds are against us, what with so many changes and new faces. As a follower of this team for several decades, some seasons, the best we could hope for is to not be humiliated too often, to still be in the game at half-time and have the team be seen as trying hard. Therefore, let us not lose our senses of ha-ha- it will be a long season, and we are going to need all the patience and humour we can get.

Chad Johnson to workout for Als
Montreal can't officially sign him until next month. That would make him Ocho Cinco de Mayo.

Meet Gary Etcheverry
Come on, folks. Football is a sport and sports are meant to entertain, and this will be entertaining. How well Etcheverry does will also give us an idea of how sharp our new coach's acumen is. Sort of two spectacles for the price of one, besides- compared to last couple of seasons, how could it possibly be worse?

Which CFL newcomer will make the biggest impact in Blue N Gold ?
McGrath seems to have a very positive attitude- not bemoaning missing out on the NFL fantasy at all. And his credentials seem impressive, so I will pick him to come in to camp and blow his competition away.

I think this is called "high risk, high reward" and the last big proponent was a rookie head coach we had named Jeff Reinbold. Not a history to inspire confidence.

Good to see that the Marvellous one is doing well... If he makes it here, we have to name him "Captain".

Quentin Saulsberry?
At the time of the combine Coombs said he put on 10lbs of muscle. Brian Dobie said he has put on about 20lbs total since training this offseason. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, I would not at all be opposed to taking Coombs. Do we really need a NI running back who gets two touches per year?

Bombers Ink two Canadians
You'd think that someone as big as Armitage would be able to make the team by just getting in D-linemens' ways for a few seconds.
-
Quentin Saulsberry?
Interesting. I wonder what the Bomber brain trust sees in Goossen that leads them to believe he should be ranked lower. Attitude? Lack of speed? Teachability? Fragility?

Bombers sign 2 more imports
Maybe even a Crocodile Dundee reference.

Quentin Saulsberry?
Got busted last summer for DWI and then cut from the Denver Broncos. 6'3" and 305 lbs- seems pretty athletic, but the question is was the DWI an isolated dumb incident or part of a bigger, dumber problem.

Nic Grigsby signed.
Looks to have good body control and peripheral vision, but lacks breakaway speed and didn't seem to have broken too many tackles. Reads blocking well, and had some darned good line blocking in the clips. Could be one of those good-but-not-great players who hangs around- he didn't get all those looks by teams on the basis of a sparkling personality alone.

Bombers to host 2015 Grey Cup
My complaints have more to do with how the cost is continually going up, when realistically a lot of these issues should have been solved from the beginning. My taxes are going up anyways really don't care about that, even if they rose my tickets by $50 -80 I wouldn't care. While I do enjoy the stadium and think it's one of the best in Canada, the fact that these issues are still coming up and the Bombers are still being bailed out without even paying back $1 to the province so far, are the issues for me. Do it right the first time, that's all I ask. I attended every game (save for one, due to my grandmothers birthday) last season, so does that mean I can voice my opinion or are you still against it ? IMO Jets tickets being what they are and people paying it, proved that Winnipegers are not cheap. We just want people to think we are. I suggest that Winnipegers are not cheap, but demand value for their money. In places like Toronto the Leafs will draw full houses no matter how pathetic the team is, and that leads to management and players not giving a spit. Jets fans have given them a Mulligan for three years out of novelty and nostalgia but that ride is probably going to an end if the team does not perform a whole lot better next year. You can be a fan and still demand better, by voting with your feet if necessary. Being a fan doesn't automatically mean you are stupid, at least not in Winnipeg.
