Football Talk

Well it seems the Ottawa Renegades have announced they aren't going to bother trying to pry Jesse Palmer from Montreal. Apparently the asking price was just too much and I'm not really surprised. Don Mathews isn't stupid and knows that Ottawa is desperate for anything that could boost attendance. (How about actually winning games instead of stinking the place up?) I'm kind of glad Ottawa isn't going after him, knowing the Renegades they would have given up half the offence to get him and then where would they be.
Now the Renegades are after Tim Couch and Ryan Leaf. Ryan Leaf, "Cryin' Ryan" as he's affectionately called, is described by former team mates as immature, divisive, and confrontational. Sounds like a perfect player to go after and just what the Renegades need in their dressing room, another distraction. I hope that they get Tim Couch if they get anyone, he would be a better "team" player and less likely to start problems in the dressing room. The last thing the Renegades need is another distraction. Personally though I think they should bench Kerry Joseph for the next game and go with Brad Banks and forget Cryin' Ryan and Mr. Couch Potato.
