A lot of it has to do with the shape of the football. It ain't round so sometimes the bounces can go either way. Teams have good days & bad days. The Elks good days are still worse than our bad days so a game may be closer than we'd like it to be. Is my analogy making sense or should I just quit while I'm ahead. 😉

We don't know if Chevy stayed silent??? How can you even say that? Holy .... ! He has never spoken about it.

Just one more thing regarding sexual abuse. When I coached football, I was a bantam HC here in Calgary. This was back in 2003-2005. I instigated a team rule at practice or games that any coach or volunteer that needed to take a player back to our locker room to treat an injury or fix an equipment problem with a player couldn't do it alone. At least 2 adults always had to be present at all times when a player went back. To protect not only the player but the volunteers or coaches themselves.

My son Tyler played football for Simon Fraser University from 2012-15. He played Junior College in California after playing two years iof Junior football with the Rifles. So, he was 22 & nearly 23 when he went to SFU as a qb. They wanted to haze him with the 18 year old rookies. He just looked at the veterans wanting to do it, stared them down & said there's no way he was going to allow it. As he was 4 years older than some of the veterans on the team & he was a qb, they backed down. Refusing to be hazed never affected his relationship with any player after that as he was elected as a captain his second year & was very close with a lot of guys in the locker room. Of course, he was always thought of as the Old Man on the team. FIFO doesn't mean anyone should take abuse from anyone associated with their team..

I always used to look forward to seeing the Super Dogs as well. Just great entertainment!! The Brits always do the play by play proud!!

He looks sour all the time. No fun in his eyes. No. No. No. I want us to be underdogs. I want no one to respect us. That way we play angry & focused.

I want to put my Border Collie into Flyball.

As far as it needs to go. Whoever else knew & did nothing. These men in the meeting KNEW. They did nothing. They are complicit & should have been fired. Not allowed to resign.

Simple answer would be that LaPo isn't a qb. He doesn't talk their language or knows truly what they go through or see on the field as he was a receiver in college. Jacques Chapdelaine was the same. He was never a qb but a slot at SFU & in the CFL. Buck & Dickenson know what a qb needs to succeed. LaPo may think he does as well but he doesn't.

If Cheveldayoff knew about this & lied then the next move should be his firing.

I wasn't inconsolable. I was spitting mad watching from my rec room in Calgary. Followed by moments of numbness, disbelief & shock. It was a Cal Murphy initiative. He wanted to change the look of the team.

I thought that 1988 & 90 defense hit hard but the 2021 version just flows to the ball & is much more physical.

Yes. GREAT post!!

One angry Argo fan in social media was wondering what MBT we'd see now? Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde?? This is a prime example why players like Arbuckle should never assume that coaches they previously played for will have their backs on another team. He probably feels that Dinwiddie stabbed him in the back.

No kidding. What's the point? Would the ones saying they were right be happier if they were wrong? MOS came into his own as a HC in 2016 & 17. I was wrong & I'm glad I was. I would defend Mike as a hill to die on, now. Yeah, I wanted him gone but we were geting hammered in 14 & 15. Do the fans that hated Matt Nicholls going to admit that it was Matt Nichols who turned things around for us at qb? It just seems pointless. Just enjoy the fact that we will probably repeat as GC champs. We hope.

A third round pick? That, makes no sense if you're an Argos fan. I know a few longterm Argo fans on social media that aren't happy.

Yeah but a CFL GM doesn't say that kind of thing publicly. They don't diss another struggling team. He was feeling cocky & arrogant. Karma took a few years but it finally got him.

I just remember Dressler getting killed on the play & wondering WTH was LaPo doing?? Now they're wondering the same in Ottawa.

Burnham is a class act & loyal to the Lions. I can't fault that. Walker OTOH is a player for hire like Muamba.

LaPo used to run that fly sweep to Weston Dressler at least a couple of times a game. The guy got lit up more than once & we lost him to injuries because of it. He wasn't fast enough. Our OL wasn't good enough & LaPo was too stubborn to stop. With Buck, we don't see that play as often & Rasheed Bailey's a bigger body who (hopefully) can take the pounding.

Merveilleux.

I always expected them to win at home back then. Lots of times we'd pile on 40 & 50 points on teams. We fed on the Riders & Stamps.

I know. Absolutely agree.

I thought you might have known him. What a putz Wilson is. I can't stand him. It's not that he's a Stamps homer (which he is) but such an arrogant prick on the air. I was so angry that I nearly called in but didn't. I knew he'd just mock me on air which he does after someone calls in. He'd start trashing me after I hung up. He's a rat. We'll kill them second time round. Imagine if we go 13-1 & meet them in the Grey Cup?
