  1. You can't talk GOAT without including this guy. He anchored the Bombers OL at LT & was an All Canadian 6 times, four with us. To me, Walby, Bryant & Frank were the 3 best tackles who ever played. Aldag was a guard but Frank looked after every qb's back he protected from Wally Gabler to Don Jonas to Chuck Ealey to Dieter Brock. http://www.cfhof.ca/members/bill-frank/
  2. I asked my wife that question as she is an Oncology RN at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre here in Calgary. She said eating foods in very small amounts several times a day like in 1 cup portions. This is also an insidious cancer. One of the worst you can get. Just keep Dale in your thoughts.
  3. Pierce has played & coached with LaPo for so long that he will be a LaPo Disciple. The hope we have is that he'll not become predictable on first down & also stretch the field more with the vertical passing game. Not go into a shell if we have a 10 point lead. To keep playing at the same tempo the entire game. Not take the foot off the accelerator. If he does then that will separate Pierce from his mentor.
  4. I haven't seen the Bombers announce their coaching staff. Did I miss it?
  5. The poor guy. That is awful. I feel so sorry for Dale & what he has to go through.
  6. I've been demoted to Ensign.
  7. This play is sooooo Tom Clements like & so much fun to watch. Big Tom used to do this all the time & leave Bomber fans scratching their heads asking themselves how did he just do that? It takes a special breed of qb to be able to see the field like that & make plays but Big Tom did it on a regular basis.
  8. Probably not as he is a career cop in Surrey.
  9. Yeah, I feel the same way. If he leaves, I won't miss the conversation either. Reminds me of the way Road Griller use to post about Justin Goltz.
  10. Coached running backs the entire time,
  11. Dave Dickenson announced today the Stamps coaching staff. It's a Back To The Future type of staff. Returning to the Stamps after having retired from coaching is George Cortez as Running Backs Coach & former Stamps slot Marquay McDaniel as Receivers Coach. Dickenson promoted Mark Mueller from running backs to QB Coach replacing Ryan Dinwiddie. Mueller is the grandson of the late CFL great Ron Lancaster. Kind of a head scratcher to give an inexperienced coach the qb position while Cortez with all his experience as a qb coach & OC the running backs. Taylor Atillio, a Calgary native comes over from the BC Lions where he was STC last season under Devonne Claybrooks as ST Assistant which to me sounds like a demotion but he still gets to coach in the CFL.
  12. I scored the winning touchdown during the 1982 RRC intramural flag football championship game on a 5 yard pass & run catch from our qb Harry "Hot Streets" Hannigan. (He was big Chicago fan back in the day). We had aspirations of playing in the NFL but there was no NFL interest back in those days. Then things changed over the years, RRC players attended NFL Combines, scouts started watching our games, some had FA tryouts with teams down south. A couple of guys almost got drafted the past few seasons. Then the scandal hit & changed everything. Tragic.
  13. Man, why are we criticizing someone who gave a legit take on Strevler?.What, it's better to read a 2 sentence response from Skunk talking about his gay man crush on Big Chris. Give me TrueBlue4ever's take than the **** we get from Skunk every ******* day.
  14. Certainly we need GMs that are much more professional. Not guys like Jones who make up the rules as they go along & cheat. Guys that are qualified to do the job.
  15. Regarding league cancers. We need more John Hufnagels & Kyle Walters & less Chris Jones & Roy Shivers types running teams. The CFL has to be more professional than it is with upper management.
  16. He'd play RB & slot. An NFL team would move him around.
  17. Muchacho is back!! He's back.
  18. Great post, Just goes on & on.
  19. And in the CFL having 2 qbs on the field simultaneously playing for one team is illegal which makes no sense to me when Streveler could have lined up as a slot or running back & be fed the ball. The Grand Poobahs in this league who make the rules need their heads examined for not allowing talent to come to the fore.
  20. Don't agree. With 10 episodes, they can't tell a proper story as they are rushed & details overlooked with multiple things going on at once which gets confusing. With a 22 episode season, things can s l o w... d o w n... & these stories can be told. To me, these short seasons & having to wait a year or more for the next is a major downfall. Star Trek was once known to be able to weave a story to the viewers. Now it's all about action sequences & special effects shock & awe.
  21. Just because he's wanted back doesn't mean he's a starter which you imply. If he starts we win 8 games tops. As a backup used in certain packages he's valuable. But that's it. I don't see the Bombers eyeing him as a starter.
  22. A Pike series would do well. It would be anticipated by fans.
  23. Bridgewater was on the roster & played well when Brees was out. Expect him to sign as a FA elsewhere.
