What a fool Bill Polian is. Stick to what you know, Bill. Which is being a scout or a manager. Not to what you think you know. As in building a brand new league.

Deflecting. So, now he may have put the idea in some wack job's head to kill a federal politician during the election. What an ass.

I lived thru that era so your medal is on the table over there.

His balls are smaller.

If they pay in pesos we're effed.

No. Would have preferred Walters have signed JSK. Great young player gone. Then bring in Elimimian? That move wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Limp? Pudgy face??? What absolutely STUPID comments.

Yeah, the **** some of the "fans" here throw at Nichols is unbelievable. And it is ****. And the same "fans" will turn on Streveler, too.

We have some really great fans on here, don't we?

Yep.

My son played for Chaps at SFU. He used a version of his offense adapted for 4 down football. It was an extensive, difficult offense for him & the other qbs to learn. It wasn't that the offense is bad as it's not. It's totally based on creating mismatches on offense with the defense. The problem is the terminology isn't qb friendly as Chaps never was a qb so it is difficult from a qb perspective to learn. It's more receiver friendly than quarterback. The reads are different if you're a qb. I can only tell you it's quite complicated for a new qb to learn. Again, my son thought the offensive playbook was actually pretty decent but it comes at the qbs from a different perspective. It takes awhile to learn compared to other CFL offenses. Ricky Ray could probably pick it up easier than Franklin.

Grandma hast to be back at the Home by 6 for supper.

Seventy new seats. The one operator is being run off her feet.

Not a huge fan of Corey Graves.... I get what his role on the broadcast team of Raw, Smackdown & NXT is but maybe it's just a little too much.

Considering 20 years ago, the Riders were taking grain as payments for season tickets & holding telethons. Talking to farmers on combines.

Dave Raimey was simply an outstanding player. Great running back who had the ability to change directions & juke defenders out of their shorts. Nicknamed The Knife he was a great receiver out of the backfield. As well as a great KO returner. Top that off with the fact he could also play defensive back very well & he was one of the greatest to ever put on a Bomber jersey. By 1969, he had become tired of losing every year. Other than Raimey & Flanker Ken Nielsen there were no other threats on offense. He demanded a trade by going public with his beefs & was dealt to Toronto. Raimey had said the Bombers as an organization wasn't committed to winning which was a criticism directed at then Bomber GM Earl Lunsford. Those comments angered Lunsford. No player could criticize Earl publicly & get away with it. Even superstars like Raimey & Don Jonas weren't immune & both found that out as they were gone in a flash.

That explains why all these NXT guys showed up Monday & Tuesday.

Wanted to vote for my all time favourite player Raimey but... I had to give this to Leo Lewis.

Paul Bennett was smart. He could read his blockers. He wasn't lightning quick so he let his blockers set things up for him. He just ran to daylight.

Ha ha. Too bad. So sad.

Around 1975. Call it The Ordinary Superstar Rule. Same with Doug Strong. He had no blocking either when he played. He never dropped anything punted at him either.

Decision making as well.

LOL. What BS.

It will if it has $250 million. Once the $$$ runs it then all bets are off. The only way any league has a chance to be a success is if it takes on the NFL head to head in the fall. Competing for name players. Even then, the chance of success is between slim & none. No one cares about spring football.
