    Wally is known to play hard-ball with veterans who he feels are on the wane or have too much mileage, plus are paid well. Sometimes this strategy can work, but other times it can back-fire I think. I believe good ole Wally really believes he can just find new and cheap import talent and plug them in wherever and it will work and they'll have a good TEAM. We shall see this coming season = real chance for Wall-E to prove he is still this great football mind; they have some good talent on the Lions but like all CFL teams, IMO they have some holes. Declining attendance in BC lately, early play-off exits (that slaughter in Montreal 2 seasons back was embarrassing), merry-go-round at HC and now back to Wall-E again: poor season there with no play-off appearance might really hurt in terms of creating more fan & media apathy. But hey- maybe drives the price way down for some prospective buyer; though I bet clueless old Braley thinks they are worth 10s of million$.

    I'm not sold on Jennings at QB yet, either.
