GA Russell Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Saskatchewan has signed Barrin Simpson. I'm surprised that he is only 32. He might have plenty of good years left. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/barrin-simpson-joins-roughriders/article1513344/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Winnipeg has signed Buck Pierce. I wish him well, but I don't think it is sporting to have a guy on the team who is injured as often as he is. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/buck-pierce-headed-to-blue-bombers/article1531511/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Winnipeg has released Siddeeq Shabazz.

Chuck Nessa Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Do all these players smoke cigars? :bwallace2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 LOL Chuck, I once had a deal to become the Official Cigar of the CFL Players Union, but the Canadian govt doesn't want cigars in the limited quantity I had in mind to cross the border. That is to say, the first shipment never made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Believe it or not, at 40 years of age Jeff Garcia, though primarily looking for a job in the NFL, is willing to consider rejoining the Stampeders. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Columnists/Francis/2010/04/20/13658031-qmi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 It looks like this is the end of the line for Troy Westwood.

GA Russell Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Markus Howell retired today.

GA Russell Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Jim Popp is considering NFL offers. His house in Montreal is up for sale.

GA Russell Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hey guys, I have moved to Raleigh, and have been without internet service since the first of the month. Today I'm at the library. I'll try to catch up when I get my new ISP which I hope will be in about a week. The pre-season has started, but I haven't noticed much news.

GA Russell Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Montreal's Bryan Chiu signed a contract to play another year, but changed his mind and retired a couple of weeks ago. I expect that he will be elected to the Hall of Fame. ***** Here are the pre-season results so far: Week A: Toronto 13 Hamilton 10 Winnipeg 34 Montreal 10 BC 19 Sask 17 Calgary 23 Edmonton 21 Week B: Montreal 31 Toronto 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary signed ex-Argo QB Cody Pickett last week, and he had a good day yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
