These piles of rubble you see above are the last remnants of Ivor Wynne Stadium, which was finally knocked to the ground today.

Ticat fan Wally Walker, who I regularly correspond with on Twitter (@wally_walker), took this video standing on Cannon today.

The big CFL news was the trade that saw B.C. quarterback Mike Reilly, traded to the Eskimos in exchange for a 2014 second round draft pick and swap of second round picks this year: the Lions will now pick 11th while the Eskimos will select 14th overall.

A TSN story also says the Bombers and Ticats were both interested – the Ticats won't comment – but the Bombers balked at the asking price. According to TSN's Dave Naylor, Edmonton paid Reilly starter money on a two-year deal (one-year plus the standard option) and promised him the starting job, something I can't imagine the Ticats doing at this point. Despite his potential, he's still unproven at this point.

But the Bombers are still without an obvious solution at quarterback at this point – unless you count Buck Pierce – and the fans are skewering general manager Joe Mack again.

Two other pieces worth a look: this Guelph Mercury piece on Ticats director of marketing and University Guelph alumnus Steve Wood using his old connections to his advantage and this excellent piece by Paul Woods on ex-Argos coach Willie Wood. It's a great read.
