fo' real? I was just about to head over there. What virus? Can you or someone (Calf) keep us up to date and let us know when it will be safe to visit the site?

You can't just get a virus from simply visiting a website...

Browser hijack by the sounds of it.

pretty much...there was something messed up on the host side of things. Visit the site every once in a while, and it would freeze up (and/or get a message from your anti-virus that a Trojan was detected/deleted). But fotze is right, it would cause a ton of ctrl-alt-deleting because things just froze up. From what I've read, the Trojan just freezes things up, but doesn't cause damage to your computer or files.

We've upgraded the software yet again today (which apparantly has a security patch to avoid stuff like this), so hopefully no more problems. If you do visit & get a problem, let me know - we'll blow some stuff up to try and get rid of it once and for all...


BTW - great signing. Probably front-loaded to avoid hits on the SMS in '07 and beyond, but I'll take it.

Good signing...extra $$ and stability in Red and White means that HB can now afford the late-October /early November playoff super glue for Renyolds' hands this year.

I said it when he was with the Riders and I'll say it now, if Hank can be more consistent, he'll be the best QB in the league. As he 'ages', I think he will improve his consistency. In the past, he has had spots throughout the year though where he throws terrible picks and makes horrible decisions and you just want to pull your hair out watching it. I think being Calgary for the long term and in the same system will really help with this (I don't believe he's played anywhere for more than 2 consecutive seasons as a pro). I think he'll be very good but if he can't, the Stamps are going have .500 seasons til 2009. Great signing though - the rebuilding of the team last year started around him - always a good move to lock up the key cog in the machine.
