January 3, 201411 yr comment_34301 Hey, who knows why Burke said what he did? Mack & Burke was a **** show. Provide the link to what Burke said so I can read it as I never recalled reading or hearing it. http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Stamps+rookie+Brett+Jones+been+revelation+could+freshman/9050470/story.html It was on one of the CJOB coaches shows. Two posters on here recall Burke saying this. Sorry I don't have a full day to listen to every show to find the link for you. If you want to hear it go to the CJOB audio vault and listen to this seasons shows. It's there.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34302 Well, I think from the video of Jones as well as the story in the Calgary Herald it's pretty clear that he didn't tell anyone on any CFL team he would only play for Calgary. Once teams knew he had applied to the Faculty of Medicine at the U of R they backed off. The Bombers decided to pass on him as did 6 other CFL teams except Calgary. Turns out he never got into medical school & is now enrolled in engineering at the U of C. No idea why Burke would say what he did about Jones.

January 3, 201411 yr Author comment_34304 I don't think Burke is a liar... he just talked out of his ass all season
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34305 The thing about Jones is true. Calgary was the only city that offered him an opportunity to obtain work in his field as part of a co-op program to tide him over until medical school. And no, I'm not getting a link because I don't feel like playing internet detective today.

I don't know when exactly, but it was either just before or just after the Grey Cup.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34307 Well, that's pretty interesting that people are saying that now but not at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if people like Taman & Burke are covering their tracks because the guy never got into medical school & turned into a CFL All Star. Especially Taman in Regina. And Mike, nobody asked you to be Internet Detective so relax. I'll just remember that quote next time I say something you don't agree with which is always & you want proof.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34308 It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. It's just a matter of the facts.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34311 Both sides of the argument are true...it's a matter of perspective.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34313 This thread has spiralled out of control. Miles or Marshall. Not Jones, Mack, the Draft etc. I hate to be that guy, but I want to read opinions about Miles or Marshall in a thread titled as such.

Not Jones, Mack, the Draft etc. I hate to be that guy, but I want to read opinions about Miles or Marshall in a thread titled as such. well there's only so much we can say about that and it was all covered in the first part of the thread, because it's the offseason and new material is scarce the conversation here has simply evolved, it happens, my advice would be to deal with it.
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34323 I wonder what Miles or Marshall think about Jones only wanting to play for Calgary?
January 3, 201411 yr comment_34325 Forget Miles or Marshall, how about Marshall Miles? He competed on an international level with great success. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Miles Edit: Oh crap, he's dead. Darn.

January 4, 201411 yr comment_34351 Five hundred H1N1 cases in Alberta with over 200 in hospital & I believe 5 deaths. Those are scary stats. Glad I got my flu shot last October.
