Eternal optimist Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Personally, as much as I'd like to see the CFL again this year - I think they're underestimating the impact injuries have on this situation. Football is a violent sport, what happens when a player gets hurt? Normally you'd fly in another body, and the other guy would recover on IR or whatever... under COVID though... imagine you have a linemen go down you'd have to... 1) Fly in a new player, potentially exposing the entire league to COVID, not only that said player would have to self-quarantine 2) Retain a much higher level of reserve players in your initial 'bubble', likely ballooning salary costs for the league that's already suffering 3) Coax Nik Lewis out of retirement.

AAF ceased operating then declared bankruptcy shortly thereafter so during the entire process. I also remember the league having issueds making payroll even before they ceased operations.

Noeller Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 didn't like Childress and absolutely despise Henry Burris. Fart noises. Good for Huff and Uteck as builders, tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I dont mind Burris just based on the fact he is despised by Rider fans. Childress was a mountain of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Burris is deserving as is Childress and Huffer. Don't know enough about Brock. As for Burris, I will always remember going to the 2003 LDC and Burris had just rejoined the Riders. Fans are chanting to put him in and he eventually goes in and stinks (Winnipeg won that day 36-18). Fans start chanting to take Burris out and our group starts chanting to keep him in.

17to85 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 yeah Burris can get into the hall of fame because he's got the stats for it, but he is still a dink and a loser and terribly over rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burris, as long as he doesn’t “shove it” somewhere, and as for Brock, he deserves it if only for having “the Brockabrella” named after him...🤣🤪 rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Greg Vavra is the one who surprises me. He was a great collage player, but his 5 year CFL career on 3 teams ended up with an overall 48.3% completion average for 3236 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Quote “I think as long as the precautionary measures and the self-isolation periods and the other recommendations of our health officer are respected and followed, then I think that we’re not in an unreasonable position to offer relative safety. And in offering relative safety, if we can then advance our economy and our social lives, then that’s a good thing,” Pallister said. “Yes, I do miss my sports — I do. But I don’t think there’s a day coming very soon where we’re going to have the ability to get back in the stands and cheer on the Bombers to that next Grey Cup. I’m realistic about this and I think all Manitobans must be,” Pallister said. “So I think we can draw the distinction here and realize we must maintain safety on the one hand, but we can’t let our fears cause us to remove every aspect of our lives. We’ll have more to say on that in due course when there’s something to say.” Tracker, the watcher and Mr Dee 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
