  3. There needs to be options with the caap for rookies being so low like naming a player who can opt out of it. Something to get a promising player on the roster. The way it's set up now is stupid. Teams have no way of enticing younger players up here like Elgersma.

    Don Duguid was one of the curling greats Manitoba had ever produce. A prolific shotmaker & a natural leader, Don won (I believe) 3 Briers for Manitoba. Two as a skip & one in 1970 & 71 & one as third for Terry Braunstein in 1965. Duguid's third during those 2 years was the glue of those Brier teams. Rod Hunter was guy who was laser straight on the broom everytime he threw a rock. Could make every shot there was as a third making Don's shotmaking a lot easier. Just a great player who lost his life ten years ago in a slip & fall. Rod was a HOF curler. Back in the day, 60 years ago, the ice was swingy & heavy. Inferior ice making machines as well as temperature swings outdoors as well as humidity played havoc with the ice sometimes. Ice could vary from sheet to sheet. Heavy & swingy outside to straight & true inside. Then there was the debris from the corn flying off the brooms when rocks were being swept. Through all of that, Hunter was an exceptional shotmaker. Perhaps the best third of his generation. In today's game, it really makes you wonder just how much better he would have been? I believe, he'd have been a Brier, World & Olympic champion skip multiple times. The Arrow as he was called was phenomenal during his era. I think he would have been the same today if he was in his prime.

    Too bad. An elite curler. He'll be missed as a player on the national stage.
  6. Okay, maybe saying he "**** on the CFL" bordered on the ridiculousl. For that, I was wrong. I absolutely agree with your take, though The CFL is a league that just doesn't get why it isn't even mentiobned in a Toronto fan poll. The coaches & admin cap along with the rookie salary cap have to go. Why three years for Canadians & just two for Americans? These rules are strangling the CFL & not allowing for any kind of growth to take place. It also makes the CFL look bush league. Especially in Toronto, Calgary & Edmonton where fan support is apathetic. No exponential growth will happen until the league & the new Commish fix these meat & potato issues.

  10. Actions speak louder than words. He DOES NOT want to be here. Don't be surprised if we trade his rights to the Argos or Ti Cats for a bag of footballs.
  11. Elgersma is shitting all over the CFL. He acts like he's too good to play up here. That's becoming obvious to more & more people so hence the negative reaction.

  15. How serious? I doubt he would get any opportunity but to be an extra training cam,p arm. The guy is in desperation mode. . Nathan Rourke had a dream game with the Falcons & what kind of opportunity did he get? Nothing.

  17. Shouldn't Elgersma be at the UFL training camp or something? Now, he's dicking around Birmingham?? Lol. Yeah, he's starter material for sure.
  18. Elgersma is an NFL Combine arm just throwing the ball. Will he get looks? Who knows. I do know the other qb there was a 2021 draft pick. Will he get a look as well?
  19. Connor sure looked unhappy. He barely smiled even when he received his gold medal. When he did it was more polite than anything. Not much clapping either for his teammates when they got their medals. He looked more Canadian with the disappointment written all over their faces then a guy that was a part of a gold medal team. You could see he was like a window shopper looking in from the outside. His face & mannerisms said it all.
  20. We know how the CFL does its business. By publicly saying he wants to work for the CFL in any capacity, the BOG's will take that as a threat. So, Morreale just poisoned any chance for him to work in the CFL Head Office. That's how this league works.
  21. That's what they did in 2019 & 2021. Base D with a ferocious front 4 applied pressure. Then you add Biggie & the pass D & that's why we gave up just 181 points in 14 games in 2019. Ritchie Hall's D killed other teams.
  22. No answer for a blitz because 5 blockers on the line can't block 6/7. Bring a running back up or a slot to block then you take away offensive choices & weapons. The qb has no one to throw to & gets sacked. It still works today. We see the best teams doing it in both leagues. What';s even better? Creating pressure with just 4 pass rushers like we used to do & the guys on the back end don't have to blitz.
