Nobody they can get at this time that can replace his level of play. Sucks for Edmonton but good for us.

Is NorthernSkunk & TBurgess the black sheep of the family then?

This is a direct sequel to Terminator 2, it takes place in that universe ignoring every movie that came out after it.

Get this... In the last 5 years Ryan Lankford has more TD receptions then Chris Matthews has had in the CFL.... we should cut that Matthews bum and bring back and start Lankford!

Every year we need someone to complain and blame everything on.... this year it will be Hecht.

Maybe they'll save it for an episode of Dragon's Den?

Matt excelled on multiple teams playing with different players.... Khari was great for a short period of time and had the help of the greatest receiver ever in the CFL...

I don't mind listening to 1290 in the morning , I find Toth to be super entertaining. The afternoon guys are a bit meh to me, Ralph is absolutely terrible and misfires on a lot of his "jokes". Bauming is decent but a bit to much of a homer.

Absolutely sick...

I don't want them to be winless, but it would be nice if they were humbled by the Blue and collect only a few wins against the East teams.

How about we bring back Flanders and put him in at SB?

I'm really curious to see how much of a factor Jones was on the Saskatchewan defense. They seemed to have played way above their heads and if they come back down to earth then yikes it could get ugly in Riderville.

Isn't Adams taking Dresslers spot at SB now? I'd assume Matthews and Wolly will be the guys going down field this season?

In regards to rallying the team... last season it was night and day different between Streveler and Nichols. Nichols had moments but the offense fell into deep lulls with him being scared to make quick reads and doing a lot of safe dump offs. Streveler got the guys going big time, with his legs and with his quick strikes the team from a fans view looked way more energized and enthusiastic once he was in the game. Two seasons ago the guys rallied behind Nichols but last season not so much. It also didn't help that he sounded more whiny last season blaming everything else aside from his own poor play. I'm hoping this season it is not a repeat.

It was an ok ending, a little to much focus on Sheldon though IMO. I would of liked to have seen a few more characters return such as Sheldons sister or the parents or maybe even closure on Howards dad situation. I thought it was a meh ending.

Most people didn't make excuses last season. I think the majority of people thought his throws were off. I'd say the only thing we may have done is slightly over exaggerate how good Streve was.

Meh on Konar

Lol it's ok to say Nichols was off the mark.

Lol I like in TBurg's world whenever we lose a player that guy was playing at his absolute peak and prime and that any new guy who replaces him cannot at all have a higher ceiling. Wild , Leggett and Fogg are easily replaceable and were all done. Nichols was crap last season and at least was looking better as the season went on. Apparently Streveler has no chance of taking the next step and is completely forgotten. Loffler was extremely mediocre for the last 2 seasons... is he a huge loss? The only spot that we really took a step back was at o-line and it's not like they don't have a plan to fill that void.

Remember the last time a superhero went Emo...

Who in the fack would think LeFevour being our 2nd string would equal best qb depth? The last time I was happy with our qb depth was Jones and Glenn. Maybe Pierce and Jyles also.

It's absolute bull crap, come on as if they need to expand the hours. It's absolutely ridiculous. I see more kids playing around the local community club and the park across the street from my house then at the parks near schools at 5:00 pm. When I was in Ontario last month they had school areas where when a yellow flashing light was blinking the speed limit was 40 km/h. The light was highly visible and the damn blinking light wasn't going on past 5 pm.

Based on what?

So what is stopping teams from signing a guy for a low salary, only for a local business to instantly hire the player as a spokesperson and pay him an extra big chunk of change during the off season?

ECW had a nice audience back when it was on the country channel (TNN). If AEW could get that kind of audience then that isn't a bad thing to start off with. When I watched ECW it didn't need to have roided up monsters like Hogan and Warrior. My favorite matches were ones that involved RVD, Jerry Lynn, 2 Cold Scorpio and Sabu. None of those guys are massive but they could put on great matches. I'd imagine they can get the 18 - 45 male audience by providing an edgier product. I don't think it need to go full blown ECW with staple guns and barbed wire ropes. It wouldn't hurt though if they had more storylines similar to Raven / Tommy Dreamer and if they didn't have cartoon character personalities like WWE.
