CFL Player Award predictions
Now you can see how easy it was for Trudeau to buy journalists off. At least Bob Irving did the right thing. I can only imagine what jack Matheson would have said if he was alive today.

I know with performances like that, it's a wonder soccer style kicking stayed around. I remember the debate at the time. That straight on kickers were more accurate but soccer style kickers had more range. Back in those days, there were a few high profile soccer style kickers that found success which spurred other younger kickers to take up that style of kicking. Pete Gogolak of the Giants. Jan Stenerud of the Chiefs, Roy Gerela of the Steelers & his brother Ted of the BC Lions. As kicking evolved & the science as well as the coaching improved to the point of where we are today. Today, it's hard to imagine a pro kicker that can't hit 40% of his kicks. As well as seeing straight on kickers.

In 1974, Don Jonas was no longer doing any place kicking. Winnipegger Walt McKee was the kicker for the Bombers that season. The former University of Manitoba Bison was the first "soccer style" kicker to ever play for the Bombers which caused a big stir with fans & media at the time. He had a stronger leg than Jonas & for 2 years (in 72 & 73), then Head Coach Jim Spavital used both Jonas & McKee as kickers. Jonas was more accurate but didn't have the leg for longer kicks. Spavital would send McKee out for anything over 40-45 yards. McKee was also the punter & kickoff specialist in his time with the Bombers. In 1974 as the full time kicker, McKee did not have a great year making just 20 out of 28 converts & 15 of 35 field goal attempts. Wingback Bobby Kraemer would have been the holder that year as he held for Jonas from 1971 thru 73. The Blue Bombers released McKee after the 74 season. He was picked up by the Eskimos & used only as a punter as Dave Cutler was their ace kicker in 1975. In McKee's 3 seasons as a Blue Bomber his success rate as a kicker was a dreadful 39.1%. Be thankful for Justin Medlock everytime he puts one through the uprights. Bomber fans back then never experienced the accuracy of modern day kickers & would have marvelled at just how good they are today. It really is amazing when you look back at the numbers back then.

The Story of George Jones. His struggle with drug addictions, alcoholism, four wives then put in straight jackets & committed to mental institutions more than once on both counts. Missed so many shows because of drugs & alcohol he was nicknamed "No Show Jones" & was sued for millions by angry promoters. From multi millionaire & fame to bankruptcy & homelessness. Then makes the huge comeback with He Stopped Loving Her Today in 1980. That is just unbelievable stuff.

As well as being on a good team like the one we have now. Those 2014 & 15 teams were horrendous.

No. Against the rules. The 2 qb rule has been around for a few years. Surprised more fans don't know about it.

Who starts Zac attack vs Strevinator?
If O'Shea starts Streveler & keeps Collaros on the bench & we lose? Gonna be hell to pay. The way it should be is Collaros starts, Streveler comes in on short Yardage & goal line & stays in & has a package of plays he runs. Otherwise, the game is for Collaros to win.

These players that wear their helmets loose like that are going to have a hard time proving negligence on their team's or helmet manufacturer when they were negligent themselves as players. I'd like to see all players tighten their helmets & think of their safety & what that means to their quality of life & their families in the future.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
Judging by the press release, I doubt if June Jones will pay Jeremiah Masoli anywhere near what he'll get to play up here.

Could Noeller be so sensitive about old age because maybe, just maybe he's worried about getting old? Pretty soon the only thing Noeller will worry about is how close he is to a bathroom & can he make it in time?

Marve with his bad knees was doomed. Great heart & talent but physically he never should have been even playing.
