With regards to Burris, coming to his rescue by saying that there is worse in the CFL isn't good enough to justify good things for this team this year. Fact is at 33, he's not getting any better or any smarter. He is what he is and he throws ducks. What makes it worse is that he throws ducks at points in the game that it matters most. Yeah they'll finish second in the west again this year because on average other teams are worse, but the question is whether or not the McMahon faithful get to witness a Saskatchewan or Edmonton trip through town en-route to BC in November. The reason why they choke is partly a derivative of their receiving corps. All those dances, mouthy words, and general hot-doggyness have a way of making those guys on the opposing sidelines remember in November what was said and done in July. West opponents would love to beat Calgary more than any other team due to our yappy ######baggery. Tom Higgins is too much of a wuss to stand up to these guys. Hopefully Marc Boerigter will deminish these antics somewhat.
