    The statement was “he is not even the leading rusher on his own team”.  If that is your argument  - then it is different. 
     

    If you want to say he missed too many games- sure, same thing. He was the best RB in the division (easily) when he got hurt. 
     

    Do I think he should be the all-star? I don’t know if any other RB did anything  that much more impressive. I probably wouldn’t have picked him - but it isn’t that crazy compared to the options. 

     But he wasn’t the best running back. He barely averaged 4 yards a carry and had zero rushing touchdowns. This was based strictly off of reputation.

    😂 great argument  - he had 26 fewer yards playing 5 games less. 
     

    You can say “why him?”  - but he was the best RB in the division when he was healthy. 
     

    What argument am I making? I simply pointed out that he wasn’t even the leading rusher on his own team and made it as a CFL all star, his counter part Quellete also had a full yard per carry higher then Harris and two more touchdowns. It was a bad choice.

    I remember early in the year how brutal he looked on sneaks. Never getting low and barely moving the ball. Our coaching is impeccable.

    Prukop honestly reminds me of Streveler a little bit when he runs, he’s fast, strong, shifty, bounces off of contact and what I like about him is even though he’s a QB that is designed to come in and run mostly he keeps his eyes down field on actual passing plays.

    My regular listens are...

    Ongoing History of New Music - I could listen to Alan Cross read the phonebook.  It's really a radio show but it's been a staple of my listening for 20 years. Podcasts just make it more convenient.

    Stuff You Should Know - it's pretty light and fun.

    Some baseball podcasts that no one is interested in - Stark, Rosenthal, Olney, and some others

    Some soccer podcasts that no one is interested in.

    History of Rome - Mike Duncan. I've started it for the third time. I've also listened to his Revolutions podcast but it never grabbed me the same way. Although, I did enjoy the French Revolution. 

    Under The Influence - Terry O'Reilly. Fantastic look into the world of advertising. Also a CBC radio show but more convenient as a podcast. Was Age of Persuasion until they changed the name back in 2012. 

    The Herle Burly - great show on politics. Although, I don't listen every week. 

    There are a few more that are science related that I don't listen to frequently but on occasion.

     

    And, a short series, which was AWESOME! 

    It's called Wind of Change and here's the synopsis: 

    It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is one of the best selling songs of all time, the metal ballad “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions. Decades later, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. This is his journey to find the truth. Wind of Change is an Original Series from Pineapple Street Studios, Crooked Media and Spotify.

    Under the influence is another good one. It’s been awhile since I’ve listened, thanks for the reminder!

    I didn’t see any thread related to podcasts so I apologize if there was one already made at some point but curious to see if anyone has any good recommendations for podcasts, or what kind of podcasts people here listen to. I have a lot of down time at work, so I usually have a podcast on while I plug through my work. One podcasted I’m really into right now is a neuroscientist named Andrew Huberman, he’s fantastic he puts a lot of effort and information into his podcasts and he’s someone I respect a lot. A few other podcasts I listen to is stuff you should know, Jordan Peterson, Mind Pump (fitness podcast), the mindset mentor, and I’m pretty into fantasy sports so the fantasy footballers is a great podcast when I’m looking for something light to listen to.

    3DN when it first started was really good. Dunk is one of the best CFL media guys out there. However, his participation in the venture has noticebly dropped and instead of good CFL insiders they started with they now devote waaaaay too much space to hacks and fanboys like Hodge and Ballantyne. I'm waiting for Stronson and his swelled head to pick up the mantle for the Riders and then the trifecta of worst homers in the CFL will be complete and I will tune right out of 3DN.

    Just out of curiously what’s the issue with Hodge?

    I have a lot of concerns about how much longer Bighill will be around..... he's such a key guy in the room, I'd really hate to lose him, but father time catches us all. 

    He’s just fine I think. With how beat up our secondary was earlier in the year I noticed he was a little deeper then usual, so it messed with his angles to an extent but once Alexander came back he’s been as excellent as ever.

    some tidbits from LOLKs year end presser: 

     

    Kenny Lawler will be 29 by the time training camp opens up. If he couldn’t make it at 27 leading the league in receiving he won’t be going down south pushing 30 after an injury plagued year. Seems like an excuse for when Edmonton loses him ( hopefully back to Winnipeg) they can say oh well we thought he’d gather NFL looks we decided to move in a different direction.

    The difference is that Jones is more than willing to just release whoever he needs to no matter where they are playing. If they cost the team by being stupid Jones cuts them and moves on. Not saying that is the best approach either, but it is the reason that Jones is more willing than others to take on head cases and crap attitudes.

    Impossible to get any continuity when you’re bringing in and cutting players at the pace that he was doing it. Idiotic in my opinion. There’s a difference between holding players accountable and trying to improve your club and the continuing revolving door Edmonton had.
