From Neil:

KG!Hope you've had a great offseason! How long did it take to get healed up to the point you could start working out again? Do you think you'll use the braces on your knees this year? I can't wait to see you lighting it up this year! P.S. I want to ask a favor-there are four of us have had season tickets for a few years now, and I've got a long running argument with my brother in law, who is one of them- When OUR defense is on the field, and the other team's offense is trying to call a play, I get LOUD(I found this horn at a shop in town, its crazy- we need these for the guys on the east side) Anyhow,my bro gets mad- says I should be quiet!!?? His name is Tom, email is boomer16@mts.net- Could you send him a little note about homefield advantage and how bad we make it for the other team when the noise is huge? Thanks for the great year last year, I felt for you when you got hurt-I happen to believe with #5 behind center there's Grey Cup rings in 'Peg city-but it was exciting football right up to the very end -as a fan you can't ask for more than that- Wrongway#2

Thanks Neil for the support and the questions? I started doing little exercises with my arm around January, and was cleared by the doctor at the end of March. Yes, the braces will be on this season and there on just for precaution. As far as the crowd noise is concerned, you are absolutely right. We're going to have to convince your brother that the noise helps, so he can be on th same page as everyone else and blow that horn. Looking foward to hearing you during the season and also in Montreal for the Grey Cup. Go Bombers!!!

From Brett:

Hey Kev, I hope the Riders sent a thank you card to Kevin Eiben, cause if you'd been 100%, you'd have a ring man! Anyway you lit it up last year, and I totally think this is going to be the year that KG5 shows everyone he can be the top QB in the league. Only question now is, who's going to be the Grey Cup MVP, you, Milt or Blink? lol. Can't wait for the season man, just keep that arm out of pileups!

Thanks Brett, I really appreciate the support. You don't have to worry about the pile ups because my arms will be as far away as possible. Thanks again Brett.

From Dennis:

Kevin, as a long time Bomber fan it has been a pleasure to witness your improvements over the years you've been with the Bombers. I feel that the 2008 season will be another season of positive growth for you both as QB and team leader. As a resident of BC I don't get to see you perform in person during the season but I usually can see your game in Vancouver and I am able to fly to Winnipeg for a home game once a season. Last season it was the Calgary game in October. This year I hope to see the BC game in Winnipeg in July. Best wishes for the 2008 season to you and the team. Go Blue.

Thanks Dennis. Its great to have fans in cities other than Winnipeg. Its helps the team out when we go play on the road. I'm looking foward to another successful season too and I hope you make that B.C. in July. Go Bombers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Ian:

Hey Kevin, I hope the offseason has treated you well. I have a two part question for you. Now that you've been playing the Canadian game for a while, which set of rules do you prefer, American or Canadian? Is there anything from the American game you'd like to see the CFL adopt? Anyway, good luck in the upcoming season. I'm more excited for this season than any other I can remember. Take it easy, Ian Oh yeah, are you tired of answering questions about the arm? lol

Hey Ian, first off just like to say thanks and the arm questions are going to keep coming until ppl see me and the arm. Now, the answer to your questions would have to be the Canadian game, It's more fast pace because of the 3 downs, motion, and constant passing. The only thing I can think of right now that I would like the CFL to adopt would be the size of the rosters.
