Burris named CFL’s most outstanding player

He was able to work in plenty of coach-speak buzzwords into his answer, just like any football coach worth his salt. Heady stuff considering Burris took plenty of heat in 2014 for having more interceptions (14) than touchdowns (11) as Ottawa mustered just two wins in its inaugural CFL campaign.

Of the 30 times a quarterback has been voted MOP in the past half-century, those winners have only captured the Grey Cup the same year eight times.

“What we went through past year, there’s a lot of hunger in this locker room”, said Burris.

And with that, Burris shoved off, muttering over his shoulder, “He’s not Smilin’ now, is he?”

Ottawa Redblacks coach Rick Campbell may have a future as an advice columnist for Cosmopolitan after his football career is over.

“I was always told when they chase you out of town, make it look like you’re leading like a parade”. He played second fiddle to Lions’ longtime starting placekicker Paul McCallum, and was eventually dealt to Montreal, where he had a better chance to play.

Walker said when his opportunity to play came, he was ready although he added he required time to adjust to the Canadian game.

“The play was called in the huddle and nobody said a thing”. The CFL awards will be handed out at the Club Regent Casino on Thursday night. He will do anything to get a first down or win a game and is either courageous (or foolish) enough to lower a shoulder into B.C. Lions linebacker Adam Bighill, who was named the league’s hardest hitter in the poll.

Calgary let him go, after one Grey Cup but mistake-filled Western finals in 2005, 2006 and 2007; Hamilton let him go after he led to them to a Grey Cup, where they were destroyed by Saskatchewan in Regina. “And I know that cuts deep”. Reilly dealt with injuries this year and he came back to lead the Eskimos to nine straight wins and now he is going for number 10 and this is the most important of them all. “But my ultimate goal is to be a champion and for that it’s going to take all of those guys that I mentioned and my teammates that I recognized”. Bombers fans are good supporters of their football team. Bryan Hall brings his annual Saturday Grey Cup Show from 1pm to 3:30pm.

Both teams had meals with the media today in Winnipeg. “It’s going to be really fun week, and I want to go out there and win”.

People should expect to see officers with the downtown foot patrol, community support unit, crowd-control team and cadets at Grey Cup events throughout the city this week, Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen said. “I guess the standards were pretty high back then”.

“We’re trying to make this a place where we have high expectations and we want to be a winning program over the years”.
