I remember Slimy Climie calling us the worst 7-1 team he's ever seen. I do not miss that clown shoe. I remember the East Final. We pounded the ball all day long on the Ticats. Thought we were closing out the old stadium but, alas, one more season there. So cold my beer was freezing and I wasn't drinking slowly!

Super Duper Negatron Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Tim Burke took a knee to go to over time instead of trying for the winning field goal against a team we had no business beating.

rebusrankin Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 That 2011 EF was a lot of fun. Could as heck but I just remember Garrett running wild and Kevin Glenn getting owned by our D. Bubba Zanetti and MOBomberFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 The worst game with Burke was the BC one with Boltus where BC had at least 2 tds on defense and I was wondering what the record for defensive touchdowns in a game was and whether we would break it. Oh and if Boltus would set a turnover record. Worst game I ever went to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record (per the 2017 CFL record book) for defensive touchdowns in a single game is 4, it happened when the Argos and Ti-Cats played on October 7, 2000. Can't find the box score, but according to Wikipedia the final score was 29-12 in favor of the Argos, the Argos had 3 interceptions for a touchdown, and a fumble return for a touchdown. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I think Manny Arceneux and Geroy Simon would've spent alot more time trying to stay warm by a block heater as opposed to torching our secondary. A wintry game similar to the Easter Final would've favored that D, in my opinion. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hide that as a CO or position coach, cant do it as a HC. Its amazing how Devon Claybooks shares that 100 yard stare with him. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Harper Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 21 hours ago, JuranBoldenRules said: $107,000 with no signing bonus as confirmed by Jeff Hamilton. So slightly above average CFL salary (average around $90,000). Have no proof and it's done and gone so it doesn't matter, but have a hard time believing Matthews would have signed for three years at $107,000. Maybe a one year deal to try and leverage position for a better contract down the road. Have to think his agent would have had knowledge of some of the other signings like Ellingson, Walker, SJ Green and wouldn't have committed to a long term deal for less than a comparable package. My take is Bomber spin on trying to lessen the negative publicity. Adams, Lawler, Bailey and the rest were all on the roster before Matthews was brought in so nothing changed there.

So, you have no evidence but you assume the worst? Amazing that you showed up the week of the LDC, focused solely on a under performing WR.

rebusrankin Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Baumming said that Matthews was at $107,000 for this year in salary and that the club saved $50,000 by cutting him now.
