    A much better than good signing. Sam is an athlete, and better-suited to the CFL, as apposed to the NFL, game.

    Glad to see the league and Montreal show the open attitude it has displayed in the past with the signing of Herb Trawick (the first Black CFL player), Warren Moon and many others.

    Smart move by the Als. This guy can play and really didn't get a fair shake down south. No surprise there. I hope he brings his great talent to our league and does well but just not against us. He was fun to watch as a college player. I know he can play. He could be a tackling machine in the CFL.

    I think he would do better as an outside LB than a DE in the CFL.

    Only if he plays in a 3-4 and is used strictly as a blitzing LB. Everything I've read about him says that he is a straight out pass rusher. His 40 time was also only so so for a LB. Good for DE.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Considering that they have been pursuing Sam for months, I doubt it.

    Although Sam may or may to make the team, I don't begrudge Popp for signing these type of guys. It brings media attention and keeps the Als in the news. And if he makes the team , better for the Als.
    I wonder if there would be similar attention within the Toronto media if Sam .... Or Ochocinco .... Came here. ....naw probably not.

    They talked about Sam leaving during halftime of last nights game.

    Basically, Sam just isnt good enough to play in the CFL

    Until we know why he left, I don't think anyone can make any conclusions on that yet. Jim Popp is still hopeful that Sam will be back soon.

    I'll take what Milt Stegall, Chris Shultz, and the reporter from AL's camp had to say at face value....summed up, Mr Sam was in over his head.

    As I thought when he was signed, all the hype means SFA if the guy hasn't got the talent to play in the league, add Sam to the list of big U.S. college players who got a rude awakening regarding the talent level in our little Podunk Canadian league!
