We are trying out a Canadian pass rusher and a Australian cornerback... our front office looks into everything and I dig this, and I apologize to all the Suns fans but this is what the Spurs do too :)

General Manager Steve Keim had already said an improved pass rush was the team’s top priority going into the offseason, and the first step was signing successful Canadian Football League pass rusher Tristan Okpalaugo to a one-year contract.
Okpalaugo, a 6-foot-5, 258-pound outside linebacker, spent the last two seasons playing for the Toronto Argonauts and piling up 23 sacks in 31 games. The 26-year-old played collegiately at Fresno State, and was undrafted. He spent time
with the Dolphins, Vikings and Cowboys before moving on to the CFL

Yay? I mean, kudos to the team for taking a flyer on a player like this, and I hope it works out. I'm sure Keim's not going to sit back and think "problem solved" with this signing, though. I have faith he's going to bust his behind to get us someone they think is top-notch, be it in the draft or in FA. Because, like, he'd be a moron if he didn't, and I don't think he is a moron :)
