  1. I fly Westjet to Seattle next month Econo. We'll see how my legroom is.
  2. An American Draft is something I like. I.ve been saying that for years. The Neg List is a throwback to another time. Leave qb sneaks & the last 3 minuts for each half ALONE.
  3. It's a start. No one would say he'd turn things around but suddenly the Bombers have a player that teams actually have to account for on defense. It strenghens our middle. We have a run stopper & a pass rusher. it makes everyone around him on the D Line better. Just like on the OL the problems they had with Koala. How can players around him have played better when he was the worst starting center in the league? You wouldn't last very long as a GM shopping at the Dollar Store for players.
  4. Same as Thomas. I've told you I don't agree with more & more inexperienced players coaching at the pro level when you have coaches at U Sport who have more experience that don't. It's done because of the coaching cap. Teams can hire them for cheap.
  5. I find Mitchell's Texas accent makes him mumble a lot & hard to understand. He can sound incoherent at times.
  6. At his age that leg injury was devastating & a career ender. Let's see what he brings to the table as a coach.
  7. Sorta like replacing Sergio Castillo with some random kickers from Hungary, Spain, South Africa, Russia or Venezuela cuz their cheaper, right Goalie?
  8. Why would they? This is the era of specialists.
  9. Walters better not say he has no money to sign quality CFL free agents.
  10. Nothing wrong with saying that, It wasn't meant to be a negative. He had a wonderful long life that most of us could only imagine.
  11. When someone reaches Glenn Hall's age, his life should be celebrated & not mourned. Most of us won't make it past 85.
  12. I remember a time when Canadian OL were the lowest paid & least appreciated players on the team. I can only imagine what the Bombers paid G Ed Kotowich, T Cornell Piper, C Ray Ash, G Steve Patrick & T Roger Savoie during their 4 Grey Cups in 5 year run. Indeed, most Cnadians in the CFL were underpaid back then. Even thousand yard rusher Gerry James James despised Bud Grant claiming he hated Canadians & if he had his way he would cut all of them. After a contract dispute in the 62-63 offseason, Grant traded James to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1964 after James sat out the 1963 season. The Riders were the worst team in the CFL at the time James retired after the 64 season season in Regina. He had hard feelings towards the Bombers even though his name is up on the Wall Of fame at PAS up to the day he died. it wasn't uncommon to pay canadians $150-200,000 a year a few years ago. Most made over $120,000 a decade ago.
  13. The pay scale has changed now so i could be wrong. Up until 2 or 3 seasons ago as a group they were. Some of these Canadian OL couldn't start yet they got paid more than American OL who were better.
