    Ottawa Senators played in the CFL......Can't remember that ....Renegades were replaced by the Sens I guess....Doesn't anyone proof read their stuff anymore...AND maybe we're 3rd in  Cup wins all time BUT we've been in more Cup games than any other club in the league

    This was likely before the implementation of a "CFL" back when the GC was just a challenge trophy for all kinds of teams (mostly Eastern) who always had to play off against Toronto, who got an automatic bye every year. I don't know this for a fact, but I would not be surprised if there was an Ottawa Senators FC back in the very early days. Similar to Winnipeg being the Pegs. What is odd is that they don't list all the variations of the Toronto teams over the years...

  2. So I got a belated holiday present from a friend.... One of those "I Was One Of The 12,321" shirts from that infamous playoff game.

    Question for the octogenarians around here... What year was that? I would have been really young at the time... I'm thinking it was around '84 right? 

    Anyhow, got that along with a copy of Vince Leah's Blue Bombers History book from 1979. Looking forward to diving into that...

    Because teaching isn't about having been able to do a thing,  it's about imparting knowledge onto others.

    And it's been said over and over again that Jake is one of the smartest guys in the room, especially the Xs and Os... Just because he can't do the thing at the same level anymore doesn't mean he can't teach things. I have high hopes for him... Starting at a lower level assistant coach position is perfect.

    Going back over the years and looking back at the hold out names we drafted, that didn't work out, how about the obvious one sitting on the tsn panel Henoc Muamba....We wined and dined the guy and his family...bent over backwards to sign him ,then he did a tour of the CFL AND suddenly signed with Montreal....I still have problems with this guy, whenever I see him mouthing it up on games

    My buddies and I (somewhat jokingly) talk **** about him every time we see him on the panel for this very reason...

  5. From Our Man Tait in his latest piece.... Worth your click, as always:

    "...And as for the decision to add Thomas to his staff, O’Shea said this about one of the most-respected people in the building — not just on the roster:

    “Love the guy. Can sit here right now and picture him hoisting the Cup in 2019. Extremely smart, passionate, good leader. A guy that just loved being around. There was a time where because of a contract issue he came late to training camp by I don’t know how many days, not much. But the whole practice stopped and everybody went nuts that he walked onto the field.

    “That right there speaks volumes about what everybody thinks about him. Not just from the players’ perspective, but in the entire organization.”
