  1. The fans that overvalue these players are the first to turn on them when they don't meet their bloated expectations.
  2. Chicken asks egg: "Hey Egg. Which came first? Wheels or Walls?"
  3. Rigney was an offensive guard. He would always be leading Leo Lewis on sweeps as seen here. I've never seen him nominated as a defensive all star. I checked stats crew & it just shows the years he was an all star. Not saying it isn't true but that would be a new one on me.
  4. Why is he "otherwise" gone? Please tell me why fans like you & Skunk are always paranoid? And you are.
  5. He could do that if he stayed in Edmonton, as well. Regina has 200,000 people. Edmonton has 1.5 million. The media sure makes out Regina as this special place whereas in reality, if you blink, you'll miss it. It's just a big town with 2 main streets.
  6. I didn't know Cec Luining that well. My Mother was Ukrainian. I have a feeling there was some kind of family misunderstanding or something that happened before I was born. Some kind of bad blood there which was never explained to me. The Luinings didn't associate much with my Mother's family. It was all kind of weird growing up. Am I making sense here?
  7. The Mother of all CBA's is coming. The NHL. We all know with Bettman & Fehr, there'll be another lockout. The CFL's CBA is lunch money to those two guys.
  8. He played all positions on the DL as well as Center on the OL.
  9. I'd be lying if I said I have never been there or done that. Something gets posted in a fit of anger or emotion & then later it's like, why did I say that??? Luckily, the members here are a pretty forgiving bunch for the most part. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
  10. Trading young players at the first sign of struggle won't win a Stanley Cup either.
  11. BLM is never in the discussion as a CFL FA like Reilly is. Probably because Bo made his decision known he wanted to go to the NFL unlike Reilly who is looking to remain in the CFL. I see a scenario where Bo signs an NFL deal or he comes back to the Stamps. I can't see him leaving to play elsewhere in the CFL but you never know as money sure does talk.
  12. With the CFL & the CFLPA who knows Booch? I know some players on their twitter accounts are starting to get impatient for the negotiations to start & aren't happy both sides aren't going hard at it now.
  13. Cec Luining was my second cousin. True story. Jack Wells nicknamed him "The Mad Milkman From Selkirk". I was too young to see him play but I heard stories.
  14. Nah, just my perspective on Grey.
  15. Hear! Hear!! I haven't always agreed with your takes regarding some Bomber players of the past but I do this time. Herb Gray deserves to be on this team!!
  16. If you vote for Grey you wouldn't be wasting your vote. He was absolutely outstanding those Johnny Michels defenses that won 4 Grey Cups during the Bud Grant era. If there is one player from that era I'd like to see win this competition it's Herb Grey. As far as modern day players go... back into the 70's ( yeah, yeah, I'm old myself so the 70's don't seem that long ago ) Tony Norman was just a dominant force for so long on the DL. Just a helluva player. The third on my list but I can't vote for him as I can only pick 2 was Jim Heighton. A mainstay on the Bombers DL for years.
  17. I wonder what the real Chicago PD thinks of the tv series with bad & dirty cops beating up, torturing their prisoners or killing them in fits of rage? I happen to like Chicago PD but some of the characters & plot lines extend beyond belief unlike Blue Bloods which for the most part likes to stick to reality for the most part on the subjects they broach. The tv series Chicago PD sure doesn't paint the real police dept in a good light.
  18. Every player has a slump in their career. just gotta work hard in practice & on the ice & that hard work will pay off eventually. We need to cut Laine some slack.
  19. Not major players. Canadian backups or specialists for the most part. The guys that want the big paydays won't sign till a CBA is in place.
  20. Rumours are if the Lions do sign Reilly then they'd not sign Bighill as they couldn't afford both. Reilly would be the #1 CFL FA available & Bighill #2.
  21. Cariou & Selleck are less than 10 years apart in age.
  22. How can Walters offer a contract to a free agent when he won't know the salary cap figure, can't pay bonuses or if there'll even be a training camp? That's why this March 1st paperwork thing is bullshit. If they think it'll take 2 months to hammer an agreement then why not start now & get it done in mid March??? That only makes sense but not for either side.
