Rich Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Didn't like Proulx when he first became a head referee, but IMO he has morphed into the best head ref the league has. MOBomberFan, rebusrankin, coach17 and 13 others 8 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thought here. He also looks genuinely pissed off on misconduct calls, which ups my respect level for him.

English Canadians think he's dumb because of how he speaks, but I think he's actually a fantastic official. Would love to have a whiskey conversation with Osh about his favourite and least favourite officials.... It is just annoying hearing him calls penalties against us in Montreal. Sounds Sus. Agree that he is the best though. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That crew that did our game last week with Montreal was awful. Why are all these refs leaving mid season? I thought working together to develop chemistry with all the official's teams was important. Why wouldn't they retire after the season was over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that with Michael Reilly & his parents. They were constantly on television. TSN seem to think that people care when they don't. 8 hours ago, bluto said: Still a long way to go, but the Argos are up 19% year to date on attendance. Okay Bluto, front & center.

I guess we are flying under the radar??...lol Hey Booch, talk about a team flying under the radar? In 2008, the Stamps played the favoured Montreal Alouettes at a sold out Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Everyone in the media, including TSN was picking thr Als to win that day. Even though the Stamps beat them twice that season & were the better team. So, Head Coach John Hufnagel gave a little pre game speech. Brilliant.

Jake was an equal opportunity referee. He screwed every team over at least once every season. He continued to do so for years after when he was the replay official for the CFL.

Funny how the Rider fans have this weird obsession and conspiracy theory that the refs favour the Bombers for some reason. Almost every game day thread there they talk about it. Jealous much. But in all fairness when we had some lousy teams I know there was a lot of talk about how the refs were never on our side haha! Funny how that works.

Funny how that works. 80% of the game day thread there is about how we get all the calls, the League conspiracy to favor us......15% on how our line holds the most, and thats why they are considered the best, and usually the rest is a smattering of hoping a player gets hurt, someone is on roids, and the guy who took a dump in a plant here...which is funny as they are still too dense to realize the guy that did it was a moron from Saskatchewan who was here visiting....thats the kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
