Rob Vanstone wrote a new blog post: John Chick released Defensive end John Chick is among the Indianapolis Colts' final cuts (see the advisory on the Colts' website HERE). However, there is always a chance he could be retained on an eight-man practice roster, which could be determined as early as Sunday.

L. Ullrich wrote a new blog post: Labouring on Labour Day weekend The noise level had picked up around Camp Surrey Saturday and so had the level of activity, hardly surprising given an uplifting win in Montreal and a sudden surge of player transactions. Wally Buono had plenty to ponder on his job through the dazzling streets of Surrey, once he had met with his coaches to discuss the [...]

alcameron wrote a new blog post: Stamps got fair value for Newman Let’s play a game of “what if.” In this case, what if John Hufnagel had waited until AFTER last night’s game in Montreal to make the trade that sent offensive lineman Jesse Newman to the B.C. Lions in return for a second-round draft pick and a conditional fourth-rounder (conditional on whether or not Newman, who’s in the [...]

Drew wrote a new blog post: The Arland Bruce III story When Arland Bruce III first came to the Ticats - amid a fairly substantial media frenzy - I figured he was an early Christmas present, a quote and controversy machine that would keep me cranking out colourful copy until the cows came home. And so, like most other members of the football press, I spent a [...]

L. Ullrich wrote a new blog post: Newman on way to Lions 　 Timing is everything, and it is about to work in favour of the Lions. Even before they knew they would likely lose Dean Valli for the season with the broken leg, a deal had been reached with the Calgary Stampeders to acquire fellow offensive lineman Jesse Newman. The Lions will announce the deal Saturday. Newman, a former [...]

Drew wrote a new blog post: Drew, the deliquent blogger Three days before Labour Day and nary a blog posting? What's with that? Well, the payoff comes tomorrow: a 2,000 word opus on the life and times of one Arland Bruce III. It came together in two days and I hope the hurry-up nature of my creative process doesn't wreck it.

alcameron wrote a new blog post: Robede still out; decision day looming for Newman Unless we’re being fed a line here (and, to its credit, the Stampeder organization doesn’t play that game), there is nothing to read into Miguel Robede’s continued absence from practice this week other than what we’ve been told: the guy is sick. But it does raise the intriguing possibility that newly signed defensive lineman Corey Mace will [...]

It’s been a long week with loads of navel-gazing and probing into everything that took place during the 17-14 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos. The guys are prepared and appear ready to bounce back against the Blue Bomber. I [...]

alcameron wrote a new blog post: Lazeo has shown veteran class; weekly picks and rankings Not gonna lie to you folks; this will be a long week. It’s always that way when there’s a long stretch between games; story ideas run thin, and so do genuine instances of news to report. Take, for instance, Thursday’s practice. Please. Oh, it wasn’t that bad, really. There were a couple notable items that came out of it. [...]
