Published rumour from Marty York that the Als are thinking of talking to Montford:
"But don’t be surprised if he resurfaces in the CFL later this season. In fact, I’m hearing the Alouettes would dearly like to improve their sub-par pass rush and are strongly entertaining thoughts of giving Montford a look-see within the next few weeks."
It all depends on whether the sacks Montreal had all came on the blitz or whether they came on a four man rush. If they weren't getting any pressure on the QB with a four man rush then it is a sub par pass rush. I didn't see the game so I don't know one way or another how they took care of business...
Don't forget guys, we're talking about Marty York here. The guy is a bigger fountain of misinformation than Jean Chretien was during the sponsorship inquiry. Anything he reports needs to be taken with a grain of salt, which health experts are saying we need to cut down on our daily sodium intake. So although his reports are humourous for the most part, I wouldn't miss him. Besides, its kinda hard to hit your target from the 200-level north end zone area of the Dump. :lol:
The Als have amazing pass rush talent sitting on the injury list. They don't need an overaged overpaid free agent. York should be locked inside a room without an Internet connexion.
There is a saying, there is no such thing as bad publicity as long as someone is writing about you/ our worthy league.
I rather have Marty and his following regardless of the "inside source" material than the incredible pro American slant/anti CFL coverage we have here in the self proclaimed Center of the Universe and wannabee US State.
And that is the real problem and is/will be hard to overcome.
Its the ‘Center of the Universe’ mentality at work here. Some Globe & Mail readers think he is great so they put him on TV to annoy the rest of us :lol:
