I agree with Worth in that the Stampeders essentially got something for nothing as Newman did retire and wasn't going to be part of the team. However what bugs me is that Newman screwed the team by retiring at the end of camp and then decided he wanted to play for the Lions and got his wish. It would have been nice if the Stamps dealt him to an Eastern team just to stick it to him but probably not too many teams were high on a flaky guy like him and the word was probably out that he wanted to stay in BC. I would imagine that the DL will be fired up the next time they play the Lions.
