That's kind of an odd way of doing it... when I heard the three names I just assumed it was Burris (offensive), Westerman (defensive), and Rainey (ST)... Nice to see Westerman is finally getting some recognition around the league...

Every GM in the league disagrees with you. If he were a CFL calibre QB he would be on a roster or PR somewhere. He is not being blackballed because he is Canadian. Every GM in the league has backup QBs that shouldn't be on a roster or PR somewhere...because they aren't very good at all, so, that doesn't make your statement about Yantz any more true. QBs don't count against the roster do they?, so there's no incentive to keep an NI QB stashed somewhere? Yantz can't be any worse than some of those bozos that we've seen. You would think... but you also have to remember Yantz was very good against CIS competition... the talent gap between CIS and CFL is far more significant than NCAA to CFL....

If he has to buy it, his cheque book would be more useful. Stupid Americans... Isn't Marco Brouillette (a Canadian) currently #10?

I agree... I love to see Harris in more of a slotback/RB role... just list him as an "offensive weapon"... Also someone mentioned they think the Esks will also sign Kelvin Muamba... just curious, what position does he play and why was he never in the draft?

If anything this shows that Mack signing Cauchy was a smart move... a ploy to try and keep Henoc here... Didn't realize it was an either/or situation. But I guess it was. Bombers, would you like the more talented Canadian or the less talented American? Oh we'll choose the American of course. I wouldn't say Muamba is better than Wild... talent-wise, they're pretty close... but Henoc's citizenship makes him infinitely more valuable...

I hate to say it... but another reason he's still around is cuz Drew is likely not coming back this season... if they knew Drew was only a couple weeks away, that would essentially make Brohm a dead man walking... and borderline cruel to keep him around... Cruel? I'm sure that Brohm wants to collect his last pro football paychecks for as long as he possibly can. I just mean that theoretically he would be cut the second Willy is activated... so if Willy was actually going to be back soon, might as well release him and now and let him get on with his life/career...

I really don't understand the release of Cole.... don't think Peach needs to go either... he is a solid player and good team leader

If this is the same guy... I believe he should have just worked his last CFL game ever... this guys doesn't deserve public humiliation (no point plastering his name all over twitter or FB, for example) or anything but it seems like he may be in over his head at the CFL level...

I would guess this job opportunity may have had a stronger affect on his decision than the injuries... either way, all the best to him...

Totally agree. I was never a fan of MOS as a player but you can tell by his time as a coach in TO that he can coach and knows the game very well. But in TO he had some very athletic players. Thanks to Walters, he has a lousy lineup with atrocious depth. So he's burning out. Same thing happened with LAPO here. Lame GM (Mack) kept feeding him garbage players and he's supposed to make chicken salad out of it. I absolutely guarantee -- if MOS was in Sask with their old, poorly built Taman team he would suck there too. But put him in Hammer or Calgary and he'd have a winning record. I actually disagree completely... not that our talent is perfect... but we have some good players, and as we've proven in 2 games against Calgary, good enough to compete with the league's best... I would challenge your last statement by saying what if we swapped coaching staffs with Calgary?... I think we would have 7 or 8 wins by now with that staff... Another example.... Pat Del Monaco is a disastrous O-line coach here.... yet he looks like a genius in Calgary even when they played a couple games missing 3 regular starters... that's not including the losses of Jones and Bryant...

Good for him... it must be hard for a 26 year old to admit that his body can't keep up with his dream...

That's a scenario I will never cheer for! EDIT: I do have Gronk on both my fantasy teams... so I'll cheer for him scoring...

This might have been one of the most frustrating moments in recent Bomber history.... maybe next to Kevin Glenn breaking his arm in the 2007 ESF... and I, like many, am tired of even discussing it.... But the fact that some people are still trying to defend the refs/CFL..... even after they admitted their mistake... is beyond baffling... seems like a new level of trolling to me...

I have been advocating for years that they should change the ratios (5 starters and 15 dressed is my suggestion)... especially if they ever want to expand to 10 teams... but I would not favour it entirely abolishing the ratio... Matt Nichols for a 7th rounder? But seriously, I agree with most of what you're saying here...

You know what was really frustrating about that... they were showing the side angle (the one that clearly shows no catch) then it cut off before we actually got to the catch and cut to an angle from behind where you can't see anything... I have no idea why they didn't show the definitive replay on the jumbotron...

If these are the only two options... and considering it's the cfl... #2 is much more likely!

Imo this game was a new low for cfl officiating... and that's all I really want to say about it...

The difference is the NHL doesn't mandate a certain amount of players make a team based on nationality... the 20 best hockey players are on the team regardless if they are Canadian, American, Swedish or Slovenian...

What he says in the media means nothing to me... I'd like to see him send the message to Troy by benching him in favour of Veltung...

If the team noise you mean is gagging and retching, then, yes. I'm guessing he was referring to the Jets...

Interesting that Wild didn't take the route Muamba is taking with the tour and all. How do you figure? ian, no offense to him as he is very good, is an american LB. I dont believe he was even an allstar while here. great signing, love to have him back and I value all he brings but Muamba is essentially one of the biggest and most valuable canadian FAs currently available. Former first round pick who actually plays like he was a first round pick, plays better then some american MLBs, is a leader and a ST ace. If you cant see the difference here.. He's a leader at making it known he wants nothing to do with CFL until he's exhausted all his NFL opportunties. Not that I blame him he'd make as much on the PR down there (if he gets in a few games due to injury) then he would up here. As ISO said Spud - we got a good solid MLB Canuck who has no desire to play in the NFL. Sam Hurl. Why? He's not good enough, which is what we need. We need players who simply aren't good enough to compete for a job in the NFL, but are good enough to play here. It is what it is. I thought this myth was crushed a long time ago... He wouldn't even be making half as much on an NFL PR as he would be starting in the CFL... shitty dollar does help a bit right now...

I would be ok with American expansion under 2 MAJOR conditions... (1) a market close to Canada (not LA) and (2) they have to uphold that ratio... since it sounds like (2) can't be an option I am completely against it...

I'm not sure how much he makes as "Offensive Assistant" in St Louis... but he's certainly someone I would be interested in for OC...

They have two kickers named Palardy now... the other being an American named Michael. Get ready to hear that fact about 300 times during the next Argo game. Can you imagine if Rod Black is calling the game!
