An interesting article on Hameister-Reis in our local Edmonton Journal today and if you look at the bottom of the page apparently Angus Reid is doing a poll on our mayor, an offseason job for him i guess!?? :lol: ................. :roll: :roll: sorry!

That will be interesting, but the longer he stays there this season the less he is costing us if we can hold the fort in the meantime.

That's a cliche that I don't fully understand.........there are finite limits to the different rosters that CFL teams have available.........so, yes, it is possible to have too much depth at a certain position, as it's impossible to keep it all.

What Rammer suggests is probably best case scenario.......let Hameister-Reis develop a couple seasons on "someone else's dime"........and then come back up better prepared to start for the Lions. (ie Jim Mills)
