  1. If you ask Suitor, Fajardo is the most talented...most composed QB in the league and he (Suitor) has no idea how the Banjo Bowl turned out.
  2. The 2 to Woli were great throws. One was literally inches too far in front and the other a few feet. He's throwing them with tight spirals and on target just a bit too far. I know that sounds like a contradiction...but I've seen Matt toss deep balls that were not only too deep but also off target OB. Not slagging Matt...he definitely dialed in some deep balls his last couple of starts.
  3. Frankly...and this is just one guy's opinion...I think his deep ball misses are a by-product of his natural arm strength (he doesn't get much air under the deep balls) and his enthusiasm and adrenaline. He spots a guy, his eyes get wide as saucers and he let's it fly. When he settles in and settles down a bit I think he'll dial in those throws. Heck, Nichols has years under his belt as a starter and still misses those deep balls sometimes. I think Chris has tons of upside. He just needs the reps and good coaching.
  4. Ol' Don Whitman used to have a hell of a time with Joe Poplawski. Popalotski seemed to be his go to. My all time favourite has become Suitor's call on a Whitehead run this year. Whitehouse...Whiteout...Then another, can't remember what it was...Whitehorse, maybe...then Whitehead. Cuthbert must have been howling in the booth
  5. My confused reaction is directed at Black not your comment...with which I agree completely
  6. Matt has also had a career's worth of time to develop touch on those deep balls and still struggles with them at times. Chris, imo, struggles with them because of his natural arm strength and adrenaline. Once he settles in and settles down I think we'll see him develop that touch. Totally agree on the his mental strength.
  7. No, thankfully they don't. I'm still shocked he's never referred to Sinopoli (88) as "Piano Man".
  8. You mean like "The Human Airplane"? Rod Black re: Willie Jefferson Smh
  9. Rod's biggest problem is he thinks he's there to entertain. His job is to provide details and continuity...he's terrible at it because he's more focused on making cutesy comments. When a guy runs for 9 yards and Black says he ran for 5 or 6...or when a player is downed on the 25yd line and Black says he's down at the 15 he is totally crapping the bed re: his job description. If he would leave the colour (entertainment) to the colour guys and stick to what he should be doing he might not drive people nuts. Matt is a good counterpunch to Black but I still like how Forde takes subtle shots at him...like when GSP was in the booth and Forde offered up Black for an ass kicking. That stuff is gold.
  10. I've always had nothing more than a grudging acceptance of Suitor but this year I've developed a full on dislike of his nonsense. What a surprise that not once during yesterday's Ed/Cal game did he mention the arse whuppin' The Blue laid on the Gappers. Had the situation been reversed there's no way he wouldn't have found the time to reflect on and congratulate a Sask win.
  11. Brilliant. Mind if I steal this to troll some Gappers on Reddit?
  12. A snake from Narcisse...or some meth...either/or
  13. Over a decade broadcasting in Mb alone ..where do I sign up?
  14. to be fair I don't think that's what NS was describing, either. He was suggesting that Strev will hopefully come out and put the team on his back early...just like he ended the last game...which, imo, is not an entirely inaccurate description
  15. For my money they can get rid of live mic games and replace them with mics in the command centre so we can hear the process they go through when reviewing calls or deciding whether to make use of the "eye in the sky"
  16. I understand what you're saying...my concern tho is the not-uncommon confirmed instances of cross contamination among supplements. I am in no way an expert on supplements or steroids. Have never taken either ...however...since we know that contamination does happen and is not rare...and we know that in this case the amount detected is not even in the range where it would be at all beneficial...and the player in question has never tested positive prior even having been tested more than most other players...then maybe the evidence should be slightly more substantial to forever place an asterisk next to a player's name. But zero tolerance policies give us no room to consider things like intent which, imo, is not in the spirit of justice. To me this is like a person being accused of rape with the only evidence being a security cam frame of an arm around an alleged victim. There is evidence of an association but none for intent to violate a law. In a case like Harris' an association is all that's needed to confirm guilt. The Jeffery Dahmers of the world aside...it's the reason I can't support a death penalty. That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, Benjamn Franklin
  17. "There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute"
  18. Did I not see in the broadcast that capacity was 10,000 and they sold 10,125?
  19. I don't know what his gripe is...in that scrum the refs didn't flag anyone til a ref got pushed. That's blatant and will get called every time...as should the RTP which could just as easily been called spearing. You can't lead with your lid like that especially on a player that is not in any position to protect himself. I still don't understand how they didn't initiate concussion protocols when Strevs got his bell rung. Granted he was able to continue and it worked out well for us...but wow...he looked completely looped when he got up.
  20. German/Irish...I have this overwhelming desire to take over the world but I'm too busy getting pished to do anything about it. You, on the other hand, can be forgiven for your aggressive tendencies...we know it's simply an adverse reaction to putting too much basil in the ratatouille
  21. Ahhh...I love it when a set-up goes as planned
