Dude, don't even compare Burris to Marcus Crandell because that's stupid. Crandell is a brutal QB and he got lucky winning the Grey Cup. Thanks to Big Bo.

Scratch off Khalif Mitchell off the FA market, he resigned with the BC Lions these morning.

Freeman tweeted tonight that he is joining the Colts. Lots of the big CFL FAs will be signed or NFL bound before we hit free agency.

Freeman leaving hurts a lot. Makes an already awful Riders defense that much worse. He should have success with the Colts. Best of luck to him!

#CFL I was told #Alouettes defensive coordinator Tim Tibesar has been offered the DC job at #Purdue and will probably leave the Als.

#CFL I was told Pat Meyer is the new O-line coach of the #Alouettes. He worked at #ColoradoState and worked w/Marc Trestman at #NCstate.

Good video from the CFL just released, behind the scenes with the refs for one game:

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The one thing that annoys me constantly in the CFL in regards to the referees is how many yard measurements they allow. Anytime its less than a yard to go the coach can ask for a measurement. I find that ridiculous. I think they should adopt the NFL's philosophy and only on the need of the referees should they bring out the chains.

Calgary Stampeders have released Joffrey Reynolds.

If Joffrey Reynolds plays in the CFL this season, it will be with another team.
The Calgary Stampeders have released their all-time leading rusher to allow him the chance to hook up with a job somewhere else.

That could be a huge loss for the Lions... Good news for the rest of the West though.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Potentially big loss for the lions. Good luck in the NFL!

Apparently Kerry Watkins (Als) retired yesterday. Bad for the Als, good for defences around the CFL.
