Easily one of the best of all time.  And a huge influence on so many guys that became big big stars. 

The Diversity Is Strength promo was a joke. Why does Ambrosie think he needs to politicize the CFL?

No, but it it isn't fair to just proclaim him the best punter all time either. I saw some very good punters before Bob play & they deserve consideration as well.  Ed Ulmer, Bob Macoritti, Walt McKee, Bernie Ruoff & Charlie Sheppard.

Sheppard won 2. Just sayin'. But Cameron is the all time punter.

How the heck does Loffler keep being named an all star? Every year since he's been in the league yet he disappeared for stretches this season.

I can tell you from living in Calgary that the Stamps were devastated they lost both years. I think even more in 2017. They definitely saw it as failure.

I know you said you were unconvinced but Ryan Dinwiddie coached under Hufnagel & then Dickenson. If Devonne Claybrooks is supposedly ready to be a HC then I think Dinwiddie is ready to be an OC.

Steinhauer will do just fine as a HC. He is experienced in the CFL, smart and adaptable.

Yes.  It is similar to purchasing grain. You agree to buy a certain number of barrels at a price on a certain date.

I think it's less than 50/50 the XFL gets off the ground.

That's what the AAFL wants. To be bought by the NFL. 

The CFL needs to give any increases in salary to the bottom end players, not the higher end. 

He took a "hometown discount" when he signed his current deal in 2015.

Starting Canadian OL are the highest paid on the team.  

So, you think if things continue the way they are going & we don't grow the game in this country that football will continue to flourish? Or will it die off? I criticized the CFL for slapping itself on the back claiming it's diverse when I don't feel that it is. Black players play but they're mostly American. They'd play anywhere there's a league no matter what country. Is that diversity or opportunity? 

No, you're wrong & with respect Noeller, I think that's trying to paint everyone with the same brush. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't make anyone a racist. What I'm saying is the CFL is a White Man's League interspersed with black Canadian & American players. I'm not anti immigrant & far from it.  Immigration is a good thing.
There are very few minorities playing the game at the CFL level or below. I don't see the CFL trying to grow the game in those communities anywhere. Matter of fact, maybe the perception of minorities is that Canadian football isn't a  game for them. That they wouldn't be welcomed so they just don't play it. There may be some of that but I just think that minorities come from different countries & know nothing about Canadian football. thjat needs to change & quickly. So, then, what are we celebrating then? What is DIS about? To me, it's about some old white guys at CFL HO  patting themselves on the back saying, "Good Job??!!" Good job about what? 
The reality is talk is cheap. The CFL is in trouble.  Attendance is down. Participation at the community & high school level is falling. There won't be football in this country in 25-30 years if the CFL doesn't actually embrace different ethnic communities in this country & convincing them that football is a sport anyone can play. That no matter your size or skill level there is a position for everyone.  And getting minorities to embrace the game.  To rejuvenate it across the country. The CFL needs players of all races in order to survive. However, I don't see any of that. I think the CFL can do a lot more. Each team in every CFL city could do more to appeal to minorities.
That's why I don't think much of the Diversity Is Strength promotion.  The day we talk about different ethnic players actually playing in the CFL is the day the CFL can start truthfully saying it is a league of diversity. 

It was a reaction to what was going on at the States at the time. The murder in Charlotte & the riot as well as the NFL players kneeling. To me it was an Eff You to the NFL. And to Trump. It wasn't done for any other reason than that. I wouldn't put the CFL on a pedestal saying we're better than they are. The situation with Canadian qbs who are constantly discriminated against. There's still bias in the CFL. And I would argue that it wasn't the CFL that allowed guys like Bernie Custus to play qb up here. It was Canadian society. It allowed the open door policy of the CFL at the time.
As far as racism against blacks here in Canada it still exists. Just ask anyone who has grown up in Halifax with the history of said racism in Nova Scotia. And there is still systemic racism against aboriginal groups in Canada. It has existed since white settlers first settled in Upper Canada in the 17th Century. Anyone who thinks we're better than the States is naïve. I'm just saying that we act so damned superior about racism in this country comparing our selves to the US when we aren't much better ourselves.  The Diversity Is Strength is a great attempt at self aggrandizement by the CFL.  Fine, it sold a lot of tee shirts. Congrats, Randy. Now fix the Canadian qb situation.

I think u know...🤣🤣

I don't know if leaving for the Argos is a great career move. But if he wants to go & is hired I wish LaPo well.
