Yes, that & the fact the US teams were paying their players with American dollars. The Canadian dollar in 1995 was similar in value or maybe a little worse so players signing from Canadian teams to American teams got a 40% raise for the same numerical number. I.E: One year deal worth $100,000 Canadian or ! year deal deal worth $100,000 US. Canadian teams didn't stand a chance. I don't how they could make it work today.

He's made a pretty good situation here from what I understand. He does a lot of work with coaching football too. I would be surprised if he leaves anytime soon.

We won't go 3 NAT receivers if we draft properly. Having to do so would be a failure by Walters.

Yea...it's the fly in the ointment of any US expansion. Simply cannot have a league with two different roster building rules. It's why the American expansion teams could throw ridiculous money at the best CFL QBs and build their OLs etc with cheap American beef.

The only way to get around that is to abolish the ratio if the CFL feels that it's future is in the US, Mexico or Europe. Canadians would still play & start but only the best. Unless a player was a ST demon, they'd probably have no chance so most Canadians wouldn't play. So, there may be one or two players on the roster per team.

The Americans would not allow our ratio rules in the USA. Had nothing to do with visas. If the teams of the day wanted Canadian players they could have used them, they just didn't have to abide by the ratio rules of our league because the US wouldn't allow them.

Is he staying in Winnipeg?

MBB, You heard it first. Booch is making a comeback.

Your last sentence summarizes Chevy’s approach with the public perfectly. I love how some people’s short comings (ie let’s throw people under the bus to deflect away from their own individual accountability and their leadership responsibilities) as being ‘ultra competitive and passionate’. lol. I’ll have to try this at my work and see how it goes.

Chevy interview up on YouTube Maybe interesting to note that when asked if Arniel was back next season, Chevy did not say yes. He didn’t say no but if I’m reading between the lines I’m leaning towards Arniel is not back Said Helle is competitive passionate and emotional and wants to win as does the rest of the core. Said basically the deep dive into what actually happened starts now (That’s discouraging) but said you won’t be talking to lots of teams right now anyways about trades but in a few weeks time…. Says defensively responsible hockey is a mind set and they struggled defensively this past season and he wants to understand why. He’s spoken to the players and was gonna speak to all coaches soon I dunno. Chevy says lots without saying anything

Nasty Nate’s real name wasn’t even Nate. That was and perhaps still is a term used to describe a portion of the population in Canada and more so downtown Winnipeg. Nasty Nates. I didn’t make it up.

not sure what those intangibles are...nice guy..works hard...well I hope they all do if they here...means shat all if u just arent good enough tho.....I dure he...or someone is gonna be one of Osh's boys this yr taking up a vital roster spot for no reason other than he gives Osh a chubber....standard fare here with Osh they said they liked his work outside of his receiving skills or lack there of....and based on what we saw....not sure what they liked I havnt seen a receiver in some time garner the lack of attention when he is out there from defences and even then when he gets the odd ball....does absolutely nothing with it post catch Heck I could go out there and catch 90 percent of balls my way and with needing a new knee and give same results....but also blow up chumps in blocking game...I should sneak on field in camp and run around doing all the right things...working hard AF... maybe run out the water bottles here and there and make the other players happy...with a U.S.M.C tat in full view and give ol Osh a chubber and then we can all mock my old assed talent on the board hahaha

I would have thought most vet posters here would be super offended to have their name put together with Nasty Nate to create a love child.

Group chat with my buddies, I said I'm already pulling for this guy to unseat Brady... Ha ha.

yep he’s too smart to be fast lol

1 earned modp, 1 default. If it was just his career here, he wouldn’t get a sniff of the hof. lots of guys got rings. His bc career is hof material by it self. That stretch was one of the best by any lber ever.

If Nasty Nate and @Noeller had a love child, it might be this guy. Just need a nickname for him now...

Being slow, unathletic and a so so blocker are intangibles?

2 cups and (I believe) 2 MODPs here... Absolute ******* legend status. A no-doubter to go out as a Bomber. First ballot to every HOF possible.

He won 2 cups here. Thats probably the reason.

He’s literally done this after every post season interview.

Yes but as BC sucks and will continue to suck it all checks out. :)

Why? Has he ever indicated he even wants that. I thought he had his post playing career figured out already. Congrats to AB. 6 seasons here? 7 with BC, guess his time here was better for him.

I thought so too but maybe 2 Cups here versus 1 in BC plus he still lives here had something to do with it.
