  1. Funny story... I'm in the midst of reading Kelly Hrudey's book, and in it he mentions that if you ever see a goalie playing too deep in his net, he's having confidence issues. Goalies feel safer closer to the net, so in bad times, they will be playing way too deep rather than confidently challenging the shooter and cutting down the angle.
  2. I'd be surprised if Chungh left, and am feeling better about our chances of Bighill returning too...
  3. I think the CFL is a great representation of the country and should represent the things that make our country great, such as diversity...
  4. 100% this.......
  5. these are a crap photo-chop job......the "silhouettes" are a much better shirt, IMO....
  6. D was the reason Helle looked better last year. Team D has been a mess so far this season, and Helle looks all the worse for it. Not sure why, but something is amiss...
  7. really hoping this........I've enjoyed all the Netflix Marvel stuff, and the latest Iron Fist and Daredevil were both very good, so hopefully they'll be kept alive somehow.
  8. I've learned that Calgary are a bunch of whiners. They want some mythical oil tycoon to come along and build everything for them. Sometimes you've gotta band together and make it happen. Voting no to the Olys, which could have provided funding for facility builds was beyond asinine.
  9. If he has a good offseason training, and stays healthy all year, I fully believe he can have a big year...
  10. Any negativity toward the DIS program stems completely from a cynicism that is at least SOMEWHAT a byproduct of not wanting new immigrants into Canada. I'm not going to straight up use the R word to describe anyone on this board, but Canada is better for our multiculturalism. It's part of what makes us a desirable nation to live and work in.
  11. Murphy Brown officially got the axe yesterday... Connors has been great. Roseanne was dead weight.... Goodman and Metcalfe are amazing as always and carry the show.
  12. It's not even about politics. It's about being a decent f*cking human being! Diversity is what makes our country so amazing and our league is a reflection of the country as a whole. Let's celebrate what makes us awesome!
  13. The Diversity Is Strength campaign is one of the best things the CFL has ever done!!! Players and fans all loved it. By far the highlight of Ambrosie's reign.
  14. You're right.....because as of now, he's at least 7, behind Couture.
  15. It's already by far the best in the league, with Neufeld in there. He was outstanding in 2018, AND stayed healthy, to boot....... The "Neufeld Sucks" line is old, tired and no longer relevant.
  16. The concern for me is precedent.....it's a slippery slope once we start becoming less focused on Canada and OUR league. I didn't like it when we started focusing on America in the 90s and I don't like focusing on Mexico now. The idea of mandating a Mexican player on each roster makes my stomach turn. Not because I have anything against Mexico, but because I want this to remain OUR league, and the sole focus be about Canada and OUR game. I've long been a proponent of increasing mandatory Canadians when most would prefer to see more Americans. I personally watch CFL because of the CanCon...I want to see us put a greater focus on our country and our players.
  17. You can't put a ******* gun to the guy's head. His speech REALLY sounded like "Smell Ya Later..." so I'm preparing for this to be the only season we have him. Time to start thinking about Wilson or Knox in the middle next year.
  18. Last I heard, he was also a regular at CurlingZone.com, contributing the same level of "intellect" to his posts.....
  19. I've had more fun watching the Bombers the last few years than I've had since the 2001-era team. All I can ask for, as a fan, is entertaining football game in, game out. MOS, for one, has a Job 4 Life with WBBFC, as far as I'm concerned...
  20. Schille and Kidby have been kicked out of at least one Sask Provincials for similar conduct (not necessarily drunk, but raging angry and abuse of officials), and Koe is notorious for his drinking, and even promotes his "legend" via his Twitter account. Fry, I think, is just a moron. There are some sketchy stories from his time skipping teams on the MCT circuit in the early 2000s. All of this is to say that none of it is even the least bit surprising, but extremely sad for Fry, who is not only an Olympian, but a MAJOR spokesperson for the World Curling Tour, the Canadian Curling Association, and all of their major sponsors (including Pinty's, where he's quite literally a poster boy). I've done a LOT of stupid **** at curling bonspiels over the years....but I can't even comprehend this.
  21. I get that everyone is still angry (I'm physically ill thinking about it...) but Matt Nichols has earned the benefit of the doubt. What he's accomplished as a Bomber, and especially how he rebounded after the Banjo Bowl, he's more than earned the right to come into next year as the starter. I expect big things from him out of the gate next year. Nichols play doesn't concern me......Lapo's playcalling, however......
  22. the buzz from insiders about a month ago was that Manny Arceneaux was for sure going to be a Bomber next summer, but I'm not sure I want him anymore. 2011 Manny Show, maybe.....
  23. The whole "Wolly" thing is too easy.......so we decided that because Wolitarsky is so much like Wooganowsky, we'd call him "Woogie".......
