Hey there, time traveller!

He was one of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers ‘Big Three’ free-agent signings a year ago along with Dan Goodspeed and Tom Canada.
But now Matt Sheridan is looking for a new football home.
In a move that is neither shocking or dramatic, the Bombers officially released the University of Manitoba product this afternoon. It could be said, however, that Sheridan’s days with the club were numbered dating back to last summer when he injured his groin, then his shoulder before having surgery that shut down his season without him playing a single down. Sheridan then rankled Bomber management by criticizing the medical care he received in November.
Bomber head coach Mike Kelly said in an e-mail today that Sheridan, like quarterback Kevin Glenn, was ‘another guy who needed a fresh start elsewhere’ and indicated there was no interest in the 31-year-old, a winner of the team’s top offensive lineman award in 2004 and 2005.
Meanwhile, director of football operations Ross Hodgkinson denied reports that defensive end Tom Canada had been released by the team. That said, Canada’s future with the team is also iffy.
