So, as long as Johnny Football can be making in the neighborhood of $350-400k, he'll sign a deal with Hamilton on or before January 31st.

Excerpt of a statement from Johnny's agent:

As Hamilton has announced, and per the aforementioned restrictive rule requirements, they sent us a place-holder contract in order to maintain Johnny’s rights and allow us adequate time to negotiate a deal. During our diligence process and at my request, Hamilton also graciously gave me permission to discuss potential trade options with at least one other club. Johnny and I met with those executives in Texas to discuss their organization and thoughts on Johnny’s market and value around the CFL. However, due to Johnny’s strong relationship with Coach Jones and Hamilton executive Kent Austin, we’ve made the decision to deal exclusively with Hamilton and give them until January 31st to work out a fair deal to make him their Quarterback. So that there will not be any ambiguity in regards to financial expectations, and so the public understands how seriously Johnny is considering this move, I will tell you that we believe ‘fair deal’ means on par with what Hamilton has paid their QB in recent years, despite not having much on-field success. If we cannot reach a deal with Hamilton by this date, we will turn our focus to several other professional options readily available to us.”

That's sad to hear, puck and I agree, what a beast that guy was for both the Lions and Eskimos. RIP James.

On another note, can we go back to the retro 80's jerseys, they look so much better than the current ones.

Well, that's not good (and quite the photo):

When officers made contact with Finch, who played at OU from 2010-13, the report states they detected an odor of marijuana. When police tried to handcuff Finch, he swung at one of the officers and fought through restraint attempts, then ran southeast through the complex.
