Someone online was mentioning how they've been using the nickname of Empire a lot in the past several years so it would be an easy switch to that. Keep the EE thing and not have a ridiculously racist nickname.

Damon Allen by far the most overrated CFL QB ever. There's a reason he wasn't a first ballot HOFer......

Yes. Best pure passer maybe ever. Doug Flutie is the greatest overall QB this league has ever seen, no question, and could do everything. Pass, run, read defenses as well as anyone...he did everything. Ray was as good a passer and d-reader, and possibly even better, but didn't have the run game. Ray was a surgeon. He doesn't get nearly enough respect for being on the Mount Rushmore of CFL QBs.

Ray isn't just better than Calvillo, he's WAY better. Frito was ridiculous. The argument that Calvillo is an all time great because he shredded the Bombers in the 2000s doesn't really mean much to me. He was good, no question, but as with Damon Allen, he was really overrated.

as good as Ricky Ray was, I would say he's one of the most underrated players in league history. People have never given him enough credit. Best pure passer I ever witnessed.

each to their own, for sure... I've got no problem with that.

and I'll go to bat in saying that he, along with Henry Burris, is one of the most overrated players in league history. AC/Burris/Allen don't belong in the same breath as Flutie, Moon, Ray and Dunigan.....IMO.

Not nearly enough love for Doug Brown in this thread. Greatest DT in league history, American or Canadian, and moved to town full time to give back in a number of ways. He's everything you could ask for of a professional athlete in your community.

If you're not watching games live, you're beyond help unfortunately....

'OB for the pre-game, half time and post-game.......every single time.

Isn't Canada like 1-2% positive rate?

Jones and Matthews.......easily the two biggest assholes in the CFL during my time as a fan.

Looks like it's Winnipeg as the hub, if they're able to get rolling in September..........

On my bucket list, is the opportunity to sit with Doug Brown and drink whiskey and hear "off the record" stories.

Nate Davis, Ed Philion, Diamond Ferri, Davis Sanchez.....virtually everyone that ever played for the Riders.....

Doug Brown probably favourite Bomber. Everything that I would want to cheer for. Jamie Stoddard a close second. Least favourite is tough to pick. I kind of want to say Charles Roberts for his role in the 2007 GC debacle (and possibly 2001...)

also brewing this morning, the NHL/NHLPA are close to ratifying an extension to the current CBA which would include the NHL returning to the next two Winter Olympics. (Huzzah!)

good riddance...

If I absolutely HAD to pick someone........this would probably be it. But, also, **** anyone who wasn't a Bomber...

I'm embarrassed to say that was my introduction to his work. Thankfully, as an adult, I've learned about the incredible things he did in the early days of TV... As an aside, if you haven't seen it, Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians In Cars..." ep feat Reiner and Brooks is just fabulous.

pffffffffffffffft.....................

Carl Reiner passed at 98. A full life....a life well lived. One of the funniest people of all time.

Around 10% positive.... That's an astronomical number, compared to virtually everywhere else. Insane.

I'll kill you while you sleep........

**** you and "Cancel Culture".... He went on a homophobic rant! There is no place for intolerance anywhere. **** anyone who says shitty things about any kind of minority group.
