  1. Is it though? The last three seasons has been a whole lot of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeh with the new blood that they brought in.
  2. I would think that Greg Battle and Tyrone Jones would go in before Bighill.
  3. I'm assuming Bryant is an automatic for the ring of honour?
  4. Tre Ford is #1? The guy couldn't even win a starting job on a bad team.
  5. The previous theatre at KP was equally as expensive. A kids combo which was a tiny bucket of popcorn a candy and a small drink was $25. This is why we used to (and still do) buy the packages from Costco which cut the costs quite a bit.
  6. You mean $30 for a popcorn , soda, and one candy is not reasonable? I now understand why my Mom always would bring her big purse to the movies when I was a child. We continue that tradition as I don't feel like dropping $100+ dollars on popcorn and drinks when instead we can go to Dollarama/WalMart and get a whole lot more of snacks for only a fraction of the price.
  7. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14134669/dolph-lundgren-cancer-free-update-years-live.html He has the powwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwer!
  8. Imagine if Lapo becomes our OC and we sign Tre Ford.... I could only imagine how many flea flicker double reverse hail mary plays we would run!
  9. And Bogosians room-mate was Jacob Trouba during that time.
  10. Just like the internet made up all of the Evander Kane issues.
  11. I thought the issue with Trouba was his drug problems off the ice and his family wanting him closer to home so they can keep an eye on him? I'd assume the Jets wouldn't want anyone with a history or character issues.
  12. If I have to pick one it's MBT. He's durable... he's nutty... but he at least can throw the damn ball down the field. I'd rather take my chances in a nutbar who can give our receivers the chance to make a play over a hamburger fatty who sits in the pocket or a prancing prima donna who spins in the pocket and can't throw deep for $hite.
  13. YouTube does not pay well at all, he would have to get in the 100 000 of views per video to make any decent money from ad revenue or potential sponsors. The CFL is far to niche to reach that level. I'm guessing the TSN panel members make $50 000 - 75 000 per year. That's what Glass Door suggests and it's Canadian Football.... the States pays way more because they have a significantly larger viewing audience and budget.
  14. I'm guessing the next step is who Edmonton decides to go forward with? Once that's decided then the remaining QB's will be taking pay cuts to be veteran back ups around the league. I'm curious on what happens with Strev and if he stays with us next season?
  15. Nichols checked down because he couldn't throw the ball with any velocity. The more LaPo had with Strev it ended up being ridiculous trick plays... when LaPo stuck with the basics it worked. I'm in favour of trying someone new... we don't need some kind of mad scientist of an OC to figure out that handing the ball off to Brady = 5+ yards on average. Maybe we need more creativity in getting Demski involved with the short passes since that seemed to have disappeared last season. Also Augustine still averaged 5.0 yards per carry yet again.. why not give him a few carries to help lighten the load on Brady.
  16. I'm sure Threads will make a come back also
  17. It'll be dead within a few months, they already are begging people to join. See Mastadon from a few years back.
  18. It doesn't seem like the old days when the club would sign an NFL cut mid season and that guy would make an impact right away. It feels like we try guys out in pre season and then roll them out through the year and never bring anyone else unless we run out of guys from injuries.
  19. Either way... some sort of change needs to happen. It is unfortunate that Zach is making such a hefty salary as it would be nice to have enough money for a 1a and 1b. I don't know if a Davis Alexander would want to sign for a smaller contract only for him to hold a clipboard.
  20. I am not worrying, I'm saying that average QB play may have gave us the win. Zach in the Grey Cup has played extremely sub par over the last few appearences. Reminder... he was outplayed by Cody Fajardo and Nick Arbuckle... that's not good. The question is... was it Zach's play that got us to the big game? I'm not so sure... I know if we had lost Brady that it would of been the difference between going to the cup or not. I'm curious to see how a different veteran qb would play on our team. Because I think our o-line isn't as bad as people have said... the receivers are above average and the rb play is outstanding. Maybe it is all coaching? That also is TBD.
  21. I wonder had Harris played for us in the Grey Cup if the outcome would of been different. Harris doesn't throw prayer and a wish deep throws... he's vanilla but maybe vanilla may have been a better shot then just chucking and praying.
  22. If I'm Vaj I would not sign with the Elks until they officially moved on from MBT/Ford. I don't think he wants to join any team where their is a chance that he is replaced.
  23. No issues with Castillo, I never was worried that he couldn't make a kick. The punter on the other hand can go, an easy position that we should have a competition to see if we can find a guy who at least has the ability to make a huge kick. Numerous times last year we played against teams that had a guy who could boom it deep when needed which instantly flipped 15 - 25 yards for the other team.
  24. Calgary Edmonton Hamilton ?
  25. Please keep the young guys... Holm + Ford are a must. Schoen and Lawler would also be priorities. I'm assuming Willie and Bryant stay. Many of those other guys can take off... they are either old and not worth an upgraded contract. Or they are very mediocre and were invisible for long stretches of the season and were not trending upwards. I really want an upgrade on the front 7 for our D. I remember as a kid guys like KD Williams would just wreck havok and take over games and make big plays on a frequent basis. It felt like none of our front 7 ever created turnovers or came up with sacks when they were needed. All of those guys on the d-line that they swapped through last season would make a play once in blue moon , none of those guys played better then a broken Jackson Jeffcoat, none of the linebackers stood out or even were solid like a guy like Jovon Santos-Knox that we used to have, and need I say anything about Jake Thomas? Out of all our free agency years recently... this one is actually one of our best. We have lots of dead weight to clear out and just maybe they'll make a splash and sign young quality players to fill in. I'm more then willing to have a year with young guys going through growing pains then for us to trot out broken old guys who just can't get the job done anymore. If we end up keeping Bighill and Thomas next season then I officially will give up before the first game is even played. I will be extremely disappointed.
