I remember Earl Morral & Johnny Unitas. The Colts has 2 qbs with 50's styled brush cuts & high top boots playing for them when they played the (then) ultra cool long haired, Fu Manchu moustache & white shoes Joe Namath & the Jets. I was 13 when that Super Bowl was played. The first one I actually watched.

That seems to be Marc Trestman's attitude as well. Play the starter no matter the score. Give little or no reps in practice to the backup. It's a great philosophy until the starter goes down. Then coaches like Trestman & Arians get fired.

Kavis Reed has a Joe Mack kinda respect. Oh hey, they work together. LOL!

Killing that guy outside a bar would mess up anyone.

Mike Sherman seems like a good man but knows absolutely nothing about the CFL. I feel sorry for him having to work for Kavis Reed & Joe Mack. You know he won't get a lot of help from those 2 & they'll be so busy covering their butts if the Als get off to a bad start.

Great post wbbfan. You Da Man!

Gary Crowton? Amazing what failure can do for a resume. Don't be surprised if Jason Boltus is signed by the Als if Crowton is hired. Joe Mack was one of the worst GMs in CFL history yet these failed retreads keep getting jobs. Unbelievable.

They don't even show the US National Anthem on tv anymore before games. I don't hear or read a lot about continuing angst from Americans anymore. The networks have killed the protests. Eventually the protests will peter out. The players have lost their forum.

We'll all be happy, happy, joy, joy when Ritchie Hall gets axed. If not, all bets are off.

One day he won't though which is the sad part. He has to be the one to finally say enough is enough. He hasn't hit rock bottom yet. He may never. Alcohol may kill him before he does. Alcoholism is such an insidious disease.

That thing will be awash in losing money. If Trump endorses it, it'll be guaranteed to fail. Vince may be rich but he's not a fool. At least you'd think...

Stats? I'm missing something here. Sounds like revisionist history to me.

Ray Jauch. J.. a... u.. c... h. At the time the USFL was offering up big contracts to players & coaches. Don't begrudge Ray for leaving when he was making twice as much money as he was making here. At least he quit when his contract was up. Unlike Jim Spavital who left the Riders in 1974 when he was their HC & GM while still under contract for the Chicago Fire when the World Football League started play a decade earlier. I was a Jim Spavital fan but he was wrong to do what he did. BTW, it was Ray Jauch who is credited in changing Dieter Brock's game from a sprint out left & sprint out right qb to a player who could pick a defense apart in the pocket with his lightning quick release. Under Ray's tutelage, he learned to see the entire field with his reads & not just the side of the field he was sprinting to. We don't know what the Bombers may have accomplished under Jauch. I don't share your it's "the best thing that ever happened to us" scenario. The Bombers brought in a lot of talent under Jauch & Paul Robson. They were destined to be a great team no matter if Cal Murphy or Ray Jauch coached them.

Wally passed him by. That bothered Durant as he's from the Lower Mainland & played all of his football there. Not surprised he didn't wait for free agency & sign with the Lions. I think had Wally retired he might've signed with the Lions. Decided to come back to the Stamps.

Yeah, innovative rules. Jesse Ventura threatening to beat up a HC during a broadcast & then trying to find him.

You remember the USFL? Were you even old enough to watch it? This is the early 80's we're talking about.

Kind of a cryptic comment...

He felt he should have been paid more so he quit WWE. Story said he was always bitter for not being pushed more & being paid what he felt he was worth.

I remember Zenk really well. Wasn't a great wrestler by any means but wasn't he a bodybuilder before he became a wrestler?

Just the ones who won't let it go & want to know why? Why?? WHY????

The only thing I'll say is the radio business isn't professional sports. Teams have scouts & PPD's. Their job is to find the best players possible from wherever they play however they can. Radio stations don't. Music directors from radio stations don't go out & purposely sign unknown bands or performers to contracts to record, promote & guide their careers in the music industry. That's the job of record labels. If a football player sends info on himself in an unconventional way it still is in the best interest of an NFL or CFL team to look at what they sent as another club will if they don't. If Randle feels this is an effective way to do business to boost his career then who are we (other than fans) to say he's wrong? Again, I just don't get the angst here with Chris Randle?
