August 16, 201312 yr Kind of a shocker But I'd get him here ASAP unless he got cut from BC because he's not interested in playing football anymore or something.
August 16, 201312 yr Contract issues .... http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=eb897a0a-672e-4fe4-ad56-f53f6b336724
August 16, 201312 yr Author Well for starters, the feel good story about a homeless man turned professional athlete ...
August 16, 201312 yr #FearTheBeard But seriously though .. looking at his raw stats (and I'll readily admit I haven't dug too deeply into this) .. he doesn't seem to offer much more than we have now. Change for the sake of change?
August 16, 201312 yr Agreed his stats aren't amazing; however if we're bringing in kicking competition, I'd rather it be a young guy with some potential rather than old sandbagger whose stats are as bad and has a history of being difficult as well.
August 16, 201312 yr Author #FearTheBeard But seriously though .. looking at his raw stats (and I'll readily admit I haven't dug too deeply into this) .. he doesn't seem to offer much more than we have now. Change for the sake of change? I'd have him do the placekicking for us over Palardy in a second. His kickoff average is substantially better (59.5 compared to 54) and he's got a stronger leg than Palardy for sure. Not to mention, he may be able to push Renaud as well. His punting numbers aren't stellar but I have to excuse at least a bit of that because it seems like he's kicked almost exclusively in a dome while Renaud has had several wind-aided punts to bump up his averages. That's moot without any actual research to support it though.
August 16, 201312 yr like i said in the other forum.... not oppose against it... as long as he leave his beard in BC
August 16, 201312 yr Contract issues .... http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=eb897a0a-672e-4fe4-ad56-f53f6b336724 could be that he doesn't want to sign prior to next year's new CBA. i expect to see more of this sort of thing.
August 16, 201312 yr Well for starters, the feel good story about a homeless man turned professional athlete ... AWESOME! Just think of the Chuck Norrisisims we can make about his beard! "Hughes beard once kicked a field goal......from the locker room!"
August 16, 201312 yr I feel like I get this reference. If it is a reference. You probably got it than!
August 16, 201312 yr Kind of a shocker But I'd get him here ASAP unless he got cut from BC because he's not interested in playing football anymore or something.
August 16, 201312 yr Would be a huge fan of bringing the kid in. I like Palardy and Renaud, but O'Neill is a gooder, and that beard is something you could build a franchise around. Get 'er done, Mr. Walters!

August 16, 201312 yr To quote Uncle Si "Your beards so stupid it takes it 2 hours to watch 60 minutes!" and "That's a FACT jack"
August 16, 201312 yr There's got to be a homeless shelter in Winnipeg he could move into so he could feel at home. East Hastings has nothing on downtown Winnipeg Hugh!
August 16, 201312 yr There's got to be a homeless shelter in Winnipeg he could move into so he could feel at home. East Hastings has nothing on downtown Winnipeg Hugh! I'm sure there's a few suites or houses for rent on Mountain Avenue. All kidding aside, it would be great to have the guy brought in.
August 16, 201312 yr Hugh O'Neill's reaction after Wally told him he was cut. "You're gone, kid!" (As Wally runs for his life).
Kind of a shocker
But I'd get him here ASAP unless he got cut from BC because he's not interested in playing football anymore or something.
