The 2026 Grim Reaper Thread
To me, Chuck Negron was the best of the 3 singers in Three Dog Night. Negron had the band's most powerful voice, also the best range able to hit the high & low notes easily. Some Three Dog Night fans think this was his best work as a vocalist on The Show Must Go On. The drummer for Three Dog Night was Floyd Sneed born in Calgary in 1942. He moved to Los Angeles in 1966 wanting a career as a professional musician. He met the three vocalists Danny Hutton, Corey Wells & Chuck Negron in 1968 when they were forming Three Dog Night & became the band's drummer. Sneed left the band in 1977.

Then he was taken out rather than allowed to find his footing as a running back. Injuries are times when young players can gain valuable experience & he was just pulled.

i just don't have a lot of confidence this is going to bring the astronauts back safely. Sixty years ago computers were huge & engineers used a slide rule to figure out trouble/problems. See Apollo 13. Today, engineers have their calculators & desk/laptop computers to figure things out. I still think gene Kranz & his crew were superior. Hope I'm wrong.

Only one lead singer left... Just Danny Hutton... he's in his 80's & I have no idea if he still tours. Negron lived the life of a famous rock singer with all of its excesses. The money, the women, the booze & the drugs. . He became a drug addict & the other band members kicked him out. He never reconciled even though the obit says he met with Hutton in the last year. However, I read a story once where Negron despised Hutton so much blaming him for being the band member who convinced the others to kick him out. One time, he chased Hutton down the street in LA wanting to beat him up when he happened to see Hutton one day out & about. It's a wonder Negron lived as long as he did.

No, trying to give a Grey Cup winning coach the props he deserves. If Osh retires at some point, we'd be lucky to have Mace as a Head Coach. He's another Ryan Dinwiddie. When hired, like Dinwiddie Mace was underrated. The question for both was, "Why are we hiring him??"

You constantly backtrack & then dig your heels in the ground wanting to defend a piece of turf no one cares about. The thing is, you actually know what you're talking about but are so averse to losing an argument you'll fight to the end hoping to wear the other person out. I know all about that as I did the exact same thing a long time ago. As far as many members here not liking me? No, it's only 2 or 3 posters who shall go nameless. They know who they are so what's the point of naming them? They carry grudges from 2 decades ago on the other old Our Bomber page. I admit that I was an asshat back then. Even though I have changed quite a bit since then (including a name change). No matter what I say they'll never like it. So, I just don't care anymore. They'll always pile on me even if I had won the Nobel Peace Prize. I rarely start an argument here but I still have an opinion. I've mellowed over the years. You'd have been roadkill 15 years ago.

That's inexperience, I'd say. I think all coaches struggle with that. We've all seen these young high profile NFL head coaches that are supposed to be geniuses screw up all the time. Lots of pressure to win leads to rash decisions. We've seen games where head coaches go for the win & not the tie to force OT after coming back from big deficits here & in the NFL. Leaving most fans to wonder if they left their brains in the locker room. Or gamble on 3rd/4th & long & not make it when they should have punted or kicked. It still is a learning experience.

Because it's you being you. Would have liked to get him back. O'Leary-Orange. He's 31. Maybe the best LBer in the CFL.

No, most of you know I call a spade a spade here. I say what's on my mind & don't bacjk down. He's a very good coach. End of story. Too bad if some of you are butt hurt about it. I'm not changing my mind even if he is the Riders HC. Because it's you being you.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
With no experienced backup qb. I mean, Tommy Stevens went on a rant on X a few weeks ago when Farhan Lalji called into question his ability to actually play qb other than short yardage. Stevens got all bent out of shape & went after Lalji calling him out. I guess we now know Stevens will never agree on doing a TSN interview with Farhan. Now Stevens may have to back up those angry words if Harris ever goes down. He'll be Da Man!!

Tell me what players Mace threw under the bus? I'd really like to know... Looks like most of their free agents signed extensions because they wanted to stay & not leave as you are trying to suggest. Yes, some players left just like any other team. It happens every year especially on a defending Grey Cup championship team because everyone wants to be paid & it's impossible. Mace lost some very good players to be sure but he also kept a lot of great ones, too. Why am I defending Mace? I defend him because he's a very good coach. To say otherwise would be stupid. I don't have to automatically hate him just because I hate the Riders. I still respect him & what he's accomplished. Mace has never been in over his head as a Head Coach like Craig Dickenson was. From Day 1, he had a vision of what he wants & he coaches that way. Treats his players like men as he should & they respond positively. He makes them accountable for their actions everyday. Mace doesn't play favourites or gives any free rides, He's also a Grey Cup Champion Head Coach. Which makes it all the more sweeter to beat him when we play the Riders. Rider Signings for 2026: Thomas Bertrand-Hudon extended Jacob Brammer extended Tevaughan Campbell extended Jack Coan extended Jayden Dalke extended Samuel Emilus extended Kerfalla Emanuelle Exume extended DaMarcus Fields extended Jaxon Ford extended Jamarcus Hardrick extended Trevor Harris extended Kee Sean Johnson extended Lake Korte-Moore extended Nelson Lokombo extended Aubrey Miller Jr extended AJ Ouelette extended Mike Rose extended Caleb Sanders extended Kian Schaffer-Baker extended Tommy Stevens extended

The backup qb is always the most popular thing on a football team.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
I don't disagree with you. I probably said it in the heat of the moment. All I can say is that he had to change the culture that Dickenson created & getting rid of a lot of deadwood that team had. It was terribly coached & was a totally undisciplined team. I think they led the CFL in penalties under Dickenson. That lack of discipline cost them games. I hate the Riders with all that I have as a fan. Seeing them lose is always a pleasure. I just think Mace had to do what he had to do when he arrived. His head coaching talents are much, much better than I thought they would be. He exceeded any expectations I had of him. Especially when you consider what kind of joke the Riders were when he got there. As a new Head Coach, he figured things out fast & got it.

No, Peter was a CTV guy through & through. After he left CKY he formed his own production company & freelanced. He also left broadcasting & was GM of a number of pro baseball teams in Florida, Arizona & here in Calgary.

We've invested 3 years into Wilson's development & he has shown some promise. I'd hate to throw that all away too soon.

Is Wilson toast? he hasn't been released. I think that he may develop into a starter if he gets the coaching. Tommy Condell will help.
