I'll recheck what I read...

Apodaca has a tryout with the Bills coming up. I think what's holding Apodaca back is his (lack of) size. At 6'1 & 175 lbs he may have trouble seeing through the passing lanes from the pocket. Can a guy at 175 lbs survive the shots he would take as a CFL or NFL qb? I think all teams have those concerns. Especially when the next qb on a pro roster beside him is 6'4 & 225 lbs. .

The plot line will be family struggles after mother thrown under the bus.

Fleury stole the series with the Jets. It's good to see that one trick pony Vegas team down 2-1 & Fleury's sad eyes wondering how that last goal just went in. I'm not watching the series except occasionally I may flick it on for a few minutes here & there. Want the Caps to keep pouring it on.

True but I think he was just too inconsistent even with the lack of talent around him.

Elliott was way too inconsistent. All pro one week. Nothing the next.

Bennett? Isn't he back with the Bombers?

Streveler went out & DID HIS JOB. He did it well so let's congratulate him& let him enjoy the week leading up to the game in socialist BC.

Doug Flutie was a pretty good ad libber as was Tom Clements. The difference between them & the other guys at qb was the fact they could see the whole field & both were very smart players. They both made things happen.

Name me the last "promising" young qb who got shafted?

Horwath & Wynne are talking coalition government. The Looney Left is taking this country down.

The irony is not lost on me, either.

I'm 62, soon to be 63. I need both knees replaced. I walk with a cane occasionally but not always. Both knees totally shot. I put off my left knee replacement five years ago. When I decided to finally do it, I found out that my surgeon had retired. The new doc who took over his practice requires a referral. (What a racket as these guys get money for each referral from the provincial government). Now, I'm going to have to go to the back of the line again. Have my GP refer me once again to a knee specialist then wait for the appointment, set up the date of the surgery which in total could take up to a year (from what I understand) from the time of referral to the actual surgery here in Calgary. Putting it off as long as I can as I'm a school bus driver with no benefits. Medical EI only covers workers for 12 weeks. So, going to wait a while yet before I do it.

What I don't like is when a team is up 45-7 & the starting qb is still playing padding his passing stats. That is wreckless as he could get hurt & the backups get no playing time. That is when I start questioning the sanity of a head coach.

They have to play Nichols & the first unit to get them primed for the season opener. How long they do that for is up to LaPo & MOS. I'm sure they want to see if Streveler is a one game wonder & if Ross can bounce back. I'm not a believer in protecting your starting qb so much that he doesn't play. Nichols has to play & he will. So will the other guys, Colin.

Rider fans would have said he'd have gone 20 for 10.

How many local & migratory birds die from wind turbines?

He was playing against a lot of guys who won't be here in 2 weeks so let's take a breath before we annoint Streveler "The Next One". We're all happy he played so well but let's temper our enthusiasm a bit here & be a bit more realistic.

TSN doesn't care. They are the only network to do the broadcasts. They need competition.

I think that was Jones' plan...

I just find him to be too inconsistent for my liking. Ricky Ray may be boring but he is the same game to game. That kind of player earns a coach's trust.

Head Coaches don't worry about possibilities. They live in the here & now. If they have a competent starting qb then he will play. They'll worry about injuries when they happen.

If Nichols stays healthy then the backup qb will see less than 20% playing time. That's how it's always been with MOS. His philosophy is to play the starter a lot.

For his debut he did okay. I think the Ti Cats have to be concerned with how bad Masoli looked at times. Granted his running back who fumbled twice didn't help but Jones was expected him to play better than that. Jones said he kept him in the game longer to play himself out of it but he didn't look like a cool veteran in there.

Please make sure you come back here & give us your thoughts on Manziel & the game. Congrats on that damned lawsuit being settled. Now, perhaps you can finally have a Grey Cup at THF &/or CFL Week. Hamilton would do a great jb hosting the Grey Cup.
