Stickem Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) For those dissing Milt..When Sanchez gets a street named after him, then we'll talk...Till then take your seat at the back of the bus Edited November 4, 2018 by Stickem HardCoreBlue, SPuDS and rebusrankin 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I really liked how Peter Dyakowski came across in his interview. He might make a great panelist if he can do that while being in the CFLPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost sounds personal. It’s funny… I actually feel the exact opposite of you. I think Milt acts like a total **** on the panel. Helluva receiver, for sure. But I really don’t care for him as a commentator. He talks incessantly and interrupts other people continuously. I mean, Hank gives his opinion on who the Bombers might prefer to face in the semi. Then Milt gets to give his opinion. Then when it’s Davis’ turn, Milt rudely over talks him. Why does Milt get a free pass to be a dink? He’s also not nearly as funny or clever as he thinks. It was like that when he was a player too. I just don’t care for the arrogance. Surprised, actually, that Davis didn’t punch him in the mouth. He deserves it. Sanchez is arrogant and he was a dirty player. Say what you will about Milt he was never a dirty player and Milt's bragging was classy and fun. Here are some Sanchez quotes from when he was a player ... "I guarantee you that if I was on that (Edmonton Eskimo) football team this year, that consecutive streak of playoffs would still be intact," said Sanchez. "That is because I make plays and I exude confidence. "Some of those games where they lost confidence (in Edmonton) in a streak where the team was struggling, someone like me would have made a difference, along with some other guys." "And you can say what you want about Davis Sanchez, but I have been in this league five or six years and how many games have you seen where the guy in front of me gets the better of me on the day? "It is not going to happen. Guys like that you need on your team." ... and here's what a tool other players thought he was ... "I think he missed the last six games (for us) last year," said Garrett, "and we won the Grey Cup." Ha! Yeah, I don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah first time I saw Milt and Sanchez on the same panel I wondered how it would go because Dirty Sanchez has taken more than a few absolutely cheap and dirty shots at Milt in their playing careers. Guys don't forget **** like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 That's why the CFL should be 1 division instead of East/West. Eskimos miss the playoffs @ 9-9. Hammy gets a home playoff game at 8-10. Single division - Stamps and Riders get a bye. Redblacks host the Esks Bombers host the Leos Als, Argos, Ticats miss the playoffs.

They like two divisions because it makes for important divisional games near the end of the year. Under a single division, the race this year wouldn't have been nearly as tight. Not saying it's right - just I think that is their logic. Personally I think they should keep two divisions, but remove the one-team limitation for the crossover rule, that would mean this year both EDM and BC would make the playoffs crossing over through the East, and the worst of the three (HAM) would've been eliminated. I agree it's stupid for a sub-.500 team to host a playoff game. deepsixemtoboyd and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's stupid for a sub-.500 team to host a playoff game. I like two divisions. It helps with geographic rivalries. Playing divisional rivals near the last half during regular season stimulates interest because play off races. With the addition of a 5th squad in Halifax we would have balanced divisions. It was always maddening having poor Eastern Squads involved in post season when Western Squads went Christmas shopping. I think with the crossover format should be maintained if the league gets balanced. SpeedFlex27, Tracker, Bigblue204 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 It was nice to see Geoff Gray get a few snaps at RT late in Q4. He just pancaked one of the Esks DL. Really hope Randle and Fogg are fast with eyes open in Regina and Calgary, I worry about those guys a bit. deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 As infuriating as it is on occasion to see a eastern poor team stumble into the playoffs with a worse record than western teams (and sometimes win the Cup), there is a value to the east-west rivalry tradition. To me, it is part of the character of the CFL and non-negotiable. Rod Black, Bigblue204, Fatty Liver and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if we’re going into history, Milt always liked to talk about himself in the third person. As in, “Milt Stegall never shows up late…” Or “Milt Stegall isn’t thinking about the touchdown record…” My experience is that people who like to talk about themselves in the third person are also inevitably egomaniac, ****** bags. Anyway, you’ve now explained why you do not like Davis Sanchez. Thanks. At the end of the day, I think I still prefer him as a commentator to Milt because of the way the two men carry themselves in the present and - more specifically- what each brings to the table as a TSN commentator, both in style and substance.

As a player, Milt was special in a way that Sanchez never was. The irony of pro sports is that Sanchez has three Grey Cup rings and Milt none. Talent-wise that should be reversed but oh well, that's sports. Yes they are both arrogant but I seriously doubt Sanchez could match Milt's work ethic and work ethic is something I have tremendous respect for. About commentating, you may recall Milt was not very good when he first started. Neither is Sanchez. We'll see who becomes better. My money's on Milt. Oh yes, and Sanchez has a great face for radio. That's why he hides it behind that scraggly beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
