We have the exact same type of guy in Alberta.

Peter Green wrote the tune & performed it as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

sad.

Sad to report that Ted Gerela, the first soccer style kicker in the CFL passed away on July 20th in Chilliwack, BC. He played for the Lions from 1967-73. He was the West's ROTY in 1967 & was the leading scorer in the CFL in 1968 with 115 points. His 30 field goals that season was a pro football record at the time. He was the first to do it. Gerela was a trailblazer as most soccer style kickers were looked upon at the time as strange. They could kick further than a straight ahead kicker but their accuracy was a problem. Gerela's success helped pave the way for others to follow. His brother Roy played 11 seasons for the Steelers & won 3 Super Bowls. Ted Gerela's son Ted Jr had an unsuccessful tryout with the Lions. He was a 7th round pick in the 1993 draft as a linebacker.

N95 masks are only used once, unfortunately & are expensive. They have to be form fitted. I doubt we'll get any compensation for using them. I'll certainly have hand sanitizer in my personal bag I carry on the bus everyday. I think our employer might do that on our buses. At least I hope so. Thanks for the kind words.

Labatte was an all star & hometown Saskatchewan boy. A CFL team can't give special deals to every player. So, then it comes down to the local job economy. Clubs will have connections.

Thanks. We're In This Together has now become You're On Your Own.

With 220,000 people there aren't the same career opportunities in Regina as there are in Winnipeg. Most CFL players don't want to play in Regina. Maybe for 5 months they will but not year round.

Unless you're our ******* Alberta Premier. Kenney is sending all kids back to school. Huge class sizes of 35-40 kids per class.No social distancing or masks in class or on school buses insisting it's safe based on some old study that is now outdated. I drive a school bus. I expected at least the kids would be wearing masks but nope. I carry 55-65 kids each on 4 different runs morning & afternoon. So over & above 200 students each day. All breathing the same air. All touching the same things. Yes, we all feel so safe. He just lost me as a supporter. **** him. **** the UCP. Utter madness to just ignore the virus in schools in an entire province of nearly 5 million people with over 10,000 cases. How long before the lawsuits start flying after people get sick??

Calgary suburbs. I don't have any mining claims but I do have about $25 in Canadian Tire money I've never used.

I know you lived in the Deep South. I thought it was Parkland.

McCallum's improvement was easy. Going from the wind at Mosaic Stadium to the perfect conditions of a dome in BC.

I wonder if Tyler Crapigna is still bouncing around?

Too bad his name wasn't Piluka & he was from Ponoka. Then the kicker would have been the Piluka from Ponoka.

Well, just like the asshat Mayor of Kelowna yesterday telling non residents to stay away as he doesn't want anyone bringing the virus in. The idiot doesn't realize that his citizens travel & they may have brought cases in themselves as the city has 150,000 people. And the dumbass twentysomethings just have to still party & ignoring social distancing... But blame all the out of towners for their trouble. Get the locals all worked up against anyone with an out of province license plate. People from BC are so holier than thou stuck up pieces of ****.

No they shake their fists back.

Better to go with no fans.

They probably have no idea...

He may be the long term replacement. Problem is if he is put on the PR he'd be snapped up. Don't know how the Bombers will handle that.

The mountains are close by & they influence the weather. 17to85 would agree as he used to live in an area called Parkland. I live nearby in Lake Bonavista SE. I live in the deep south of Calgary maybe 25-30 klms from the areas that always get hit by hail & nasty storms. The NE & NW parts of the city get a lot more bad weather than we do as they are almost in the foothills & are up higher than we are. We like to call ourselves "The Sunny South". The day the NE got pounded by hail in June, we could see the black clouds & hear some of the thunder in the distance but it never rained here. Not to say we don't get bad weather as we do. I've seen clouds spinning over my house a few times & we've got hail, heavy rain where

Evil knew it was wise to stay in Yellowknife.

I was iving in Calgary then like now & they didn't show the game.

Do you really live in the Yukon?

Always. At least I'm honest. The day he leaves I will do a little dance, pour myself a stiff drink & have a toast to his demise.

Shortened season. Pandemic. Different times. Quit the BS & get it done. Nope it just has to be a clown show.
