22 sacks is crazy at any position.

I never watched ECW. Just for that reason. Using fire & barbed wire in matches. Jumping thru tables. No thanks.

I checked Payton's stats. He had 6 qb sacks in both 91 & 92 & 22 in 93. Was he still a linebacker or had he made the switch to DE by that time? I looked but I couldn't find the answer. I'm wondering if he had as players just don't usually go from MOR numbers to astronomical numbers playing the same position.

Yes. Canuck all the way.

These guys see part timers like Shane McMahon doing stunts like jumping off a 40 foot steel cage onto a table & get glorified for it. Some of them think that doing these dangerous spots will get them noticed by WWE. Or make them famous online.

Did you see the video of the wrestler who jumped off the top turnbuckle, did a moonsault, missed the table & landed head first with his head bouncing off the floor? MY ******* God that was one of the sickest things I have ever seen. His head hit the concrete like a coconut falling out of the tree. I'd like to know if he is going to be okay. he suffered a fractured skull & a brain bleed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6517263/Wrestlers-rope-dive-goes-awry-sending-crashing-head-concrete-floor.html

Maybe time away means avoiding jail time. These guys just piss (or smoke) away their careers.

Depends if Putin or the Chinese wants him back or not.

Another beast was Phil Minnick, Played for the Bombers from 1965-70, 1972 & 73. Lost the entire 71 season recovering from a serious knee injury which shortened his playing career. He was a tough as nails MLB & played the same physical way as Adam Bighill did this season. Ib my mind, he was just as good as another famous MLB from the Stampeders, Wayne Harris. Easily the best player on the field defensively for both teams (except when the Bombers played Harris. Then it was a wash). When Minnick was lost for the 1971 season it was a huge loss. He came back for the 1972 & 73 seasons but was moved outside as there was another great middle linebacker in Mickey Doyle who also was a dominant backer in the middle that had taken his place. I'd like to nominate both Phil Minnick & Mickey Doyle as MLB's as they both deserve to be on that list.

Ulmer played in the 65 Grey Cup. He was a great player on a very bad team as that 65 Grey Cup team would be the only great team he'd play on. Ulmer played on some brutal teams between 1967-70. Felt bad for the guy. It must've been a frustrating experience. He never whined about it or demanded out like running back Dave Raimey did & was traded to the Argos. I respect Ulmer a lot for always playing hard, never complaining & seldom winning.

The best linebackers we had were Greg Battle in the middle & West & Jones outside. Absolutely freaking dominant. I think the best 3 starting linebackers together on any team & any time period in CFL history.

I absolutely loved the way Brian Herosian played safety. For a few short years he was the dominant safety in the CFL before his tragic car accident. But the best safety we ever had was Paul Bennett without a doubt. He deserves to win this round of the competition at that position.

He really could throw a football through a car wash & it wouldn't get wet because the ball was bigger than the car wash, itself & destroying it.

Payton was not a linebacker.

He was a DE. He was a beast.

He played on the edge, yes. But no worse than other hard hitting safeties at the time.

He had to be as he built the place all by himself.

The House That Jack Built.

Hate em. Hate em. Hate em.

We played 2 out of 3 there last year. Let those damned sodbusters come to our home stadium so we can kick their useless collective asses. Exhibition or regular season, it still sucks.

Back in the days when teams played 3 games in 10 days & played best of 3 semi finals & finals. Totally ludicrous.

Doesn't the NFL have just 1 bye week for all teams all season?

Don't like the fact we have to play 3 games in Regina out of 4. That's just bullshit.

Someone has to be the one who has it.
