2nd and 7

Mood: Ol' school
Well the front page of the Winnipeg Free Press' sports section is a feature on Kevin Glenn's tenuous status as starting quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The club has essentially named him No.1 before camp has even opened and likely that won't change when camp breaks in three weeks.

I've been saying for a number of years now that Tee Martin should be in Winnipeg and leading this team, ever since the Bombers placed him on their negotiation list when he was the third-stringer for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

At least it appears the Bombers are keeping their eyes open to the possibility that Glenn is NOT the guy, as evidenced by the impending release of Stanley Jackson — which will move Martin to the No.2 (probably) — the off-season signing of Spergon Wynn and the pursual of young guns like former Florida State standout Chris Rix. Translation: There's Plan B's all over the place.

It's a good time of year, though. Brand new slate, anything is possible and a whole season to look forward to. Everyone is 0-0 and I, for one, think the Bombers are going to be better off than many have predicted.

I mean, what more did this team have to do in the off-season? They bolstered their quarterbacking corps, beefed up the O-line, re-signed basically all their own free agents and brought in WR's like Vinny Sutherland and Wane McGarrity that will give them more playmakers and downfield threats.

Now if the team can just make the right call on what QB to allow to make the plays.


Lyric of the day:
Yo I know the feelin, when you feelin like a villain
You be havin good thoughts but the evils be revealin
and the stresses of life can take you off the right path (no doubt)
Jealousy and envy tends to infiltrate your staff
We gotta hold it down so we can move on past
all adversities, so we can get through fast, like that
Chorus:
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
When you’re face to face with your adversity
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
We’re gonna make this thing work out eventually
