The combination of
limited CFL news and me generally not having the ambition to put in any more
effort has led to me breaking out my much beloved quasi coherent thoughts… well
probably more like somewhat tolerated quasi-coherent thoughts but you have to
take what you can get.
-
Depressing
thought, now that the Super Bowl is over we must endure 5 professional football-less
months… might have to ask people from Winnipeg for tips on coping, I mean they’ve
lasted years without anything remotely resembling professional football.
-
Say
what you want about the bush league CFL, we may have struggled in the past to
actually pay players their wages but we have always paid the power bill during
the championship game.
-
Evidently
the Superdome was not ready for that jelly.
-
I’m
still convinced the power outage was intentionally orchestrated by the NFL in
an attempt to salvage ratings that were plummeting with every Raven TD.
-
The
Esks made the big splash of the week by trading for Mike Reilly and working out
a contract extension. Using the mathematical principle of extrapolation, given
how much the Esks had to give up to get Steven Jyles, Reilly’s bargain basement
trade cost must mean he’s awful
-
Wally
Buono wins this offseason. First he gets a 3rd round pick and player
for a guy he was going to cut anyway, then gets a 2nd round pick and
an upgraded pick for a guy who was going to leave via free agency. I wonder if
he manages to haggle money out his neighbours for his garbage too.
-
So
with Reilly being essentially appointed the #1 QB in EDM it reinforces the
point that Jarious Jackson was Wally’s worst QB recruit… sadly he has the most
Grey Cup rings of the bunch.
-
My
concern is growing over our inability to re-sign at least one of McKenzie, Russ
and Brackenridge… though if this newly signed Skinner fellow pans out then we
really need to go out and recruit a DB named Chalmers to pair him with… bonus
points if Chalmers is willing to legally change his first name to Super
Nintendo.
-
In
more positive news, Jordan Sisco seems to think he should test the free agent
market to see his value. I suspect he will find that whatever we are paying far
exceeds his market value.
-
I
bet we are all eagerly awaiting CFL Free Agent Frenzy on the 15th…
the nation will hold its breath as we wait to see where Dylan Steenbergen will
end up. For any major sporting networks out there I am available and willing to
host an all day special. Honestly it can’t be much worse than some of the NHL
ones.
lNFL Watch
DL Chris McKoy – Signed with Philadelphia
CFL Ins and Outs
Saskatchewan
In: LB Aaron Crawford,
LB Brian Peters, DB Terrell Skinner (free agent signing)
BC
In: WR Shawn Gore
(contract extension)
The rage that Gore
inspires within me will never dissipate… we consciously chose Jordan freaking
Sisco over this guy who just happens to be one of the best Cdn Wrs in the
league. You can’t even drink that decision pretty… believe me I’ve tried.
Edmonton
Out: DL Lee Robinson, DB
Rod Williams (released)
These releases were
likely tied to both guys pursuing NFL interests
Montreal
Out: QB Adrian McPherson,
KR Trent Guy, WR Brian Bratton (released)
Still calling it…
McPherson will call it a career before Calvillo
Winnipeg
Out: OL Jordan Taormina
Calgary
In: KR Larry Taylor
(contract extension), DB Adam Berger (free agent signing)
Out: WR Romby Bryant, DL
Ken Pettway (released), Jonathan St-Pierre (retired)
