  1. SFU is not #1 from the 2005-2020 time period that the article is using but all-time they are #1. That being said, their glory years of being a consistent CFL contributor ended about 25 years ago. #1 all time but that's a bit misleading. From 1969-1997 they averaged about six CFL draft picks each year which is really high but over the last 25 years (1998-2022) they've averaged less than 2 players per draft with multiple years of having no players selected. https://athletics.sfu.ca/sports/2015/4/27/Clan CFL Draft Picks.aspx

  2. Sfu being the no1 producer of cflers is about as legit as the argos having the most grey cups by counting when only Ontario teams played rugby for the ship.

  3. yeah...but thats not the norm....he was an anomoly....that being said....it left us a bit lean in skill position guys on the roster too tho.....which in my opinion in grand scheme is more important...when Med's was here for most part..we weren't as strong and deep across the board, and really...REALLY relied on him for a lot of wins, and left us with a less than stellar back-up on the roster to accomodate....we dont have that dire need now, so if we can fill it with Leggz again...or a Global...it makes us better...deeper

  5. seems like some of the Jets dont like "playoff hockey" as in hitting, blocking shots, fight for the puck in the corner, stand in front of net.

  8. Soo true. People criminally under rate how much medlock Carried us at times. 5 games in 16 when he hit 4 of 4 fgs. 60 makes in 18 games is crazy. 2 6 for 6 games in 17. In 18 5 games where he was perfect and hit 4 or more fgs including another 6 for 6. In 19 5 games in a row all at or above 4 attempts with 0 misses. 30 of 31 in 7 games. Who puts up 90 points in 7 games 12.87 points per game while missing 1 kick? No medlock? No 19 grey cup. With out him we might not have won back to back and appeared in 3 in a row at all. With out him giving the greatest stretch of kicking ever in his time here we probably don’t keep that team together long enough to become the dynasty.

  11. I'm just saying, when Paul lapolice is coaching your team you better have a damned good kicker because you will be kicking the ball a lot. You don't like it prove me wrong.

  12. Even if the Bombers found a young guy as good as Medlock, unlikely they would be able to hold onto him for more than a season or two before heading South, so in the long-term good maybe more sustainable than great. In 4-D chess Walters usually comes out ahead.

    SCOTUS will circle the wagons, blistering and blustering using that self-important tone of theirs of how dangerous it is to question them and any of their members. Or they will throw Thomas under the bus. What a Farce. Thomas isn't the only bad one here. Some others are just as bad but in different ways. Justice is blind. Lol. No one is above the law. lol We only deal with fact as dictated by the rule of law. lol

    What's happening today in Tennessee should be sounding alarm bells across the United States, Republicans in general are losing support across America and the only way they will keep power is by removing Democrats how have been democratically elected by the people of Tennessee illegally.

  21. Isn’t he out of football currently? Not often you see a 52 year old oc couple years removed from a gc out of football not by their choice is it? I like the guy as a person, as a football mind, and as a leader. I hope he sticks with tsn and they pay him really well. I’d love to see more of him and blm working together in the booth. I think you’d see some of the best and most interesting offensive football talk any where. And I couldn’t be happier that he isn’t the oc here any more. And I’ll add, it is insanely hard to make your way as an oc in American or Canadian football with out playing qb at the highest level or coming up under a great lineage. 50 years from now nfl coaches will still be drawing their line back to Shanahan and Reid. Is it really different than guys people love? That kinda goes hand in hand in all sports tbh. The worst thing to be is forgettable. Atleast if you are hated you’ll be remembered. No one is gonna remember the guys who play called by committee for us before or after worman. Or soo many ocs after that. And a generational defense.

  23. Remember that chant a few years ago when San Jose was in town? "Who's your captain!? Who's your captain?!" Perhaps it's time this chant was directed at our own team. I just don't know who the leaders are, and why they are choosing not to lead.

  33. https://www.cfl.ca/2023/04/04/start-your-arguing-engines-the-way-too-early-power-rankings-are-in/?fbclid=IwAR1AOMDQFi6CcBI-WGf2ryalOygh5pTqFq-E_fW4BEHXyedHpVGjHBNwuJQ In years past, this space — the aptly named Way Too Early Power Rankings — has tried to cater to and pay due respect to the recently named Grey Cup champions. It should take something extraordinary to knock a champion from its well-earned perch, especially in an April Power Rankings setup, where camps haven’t even opened yet and games are even further away from being played. In the previous three editions of these rankings, we’ve seen the defending champs ranked no lower than second. Here in 2023, we have the extraordinary. The Toronto Argonauts’ run to the Grey Cup was the conclusion to the 2022 season that very few predicted (shoutout to CFL.ca’s Kristina Costabile and Jim Morris, who went with their instincts during a cold, snowy week in Regina over four months ago now). The Argos’ season was one of self-discovery, as they went from a talented but seemingly volatile group early on to a defensively-rooted team that learned how to win together. That culminated with a three-phase effort, highlighted by a late Henoc Muamba interception, an A.J. Ouellette touchdown and Robbie Smith‘s blocked field goal that lifted them over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, spoiling their bid to become a three-peat champion. McLeod Bethel-Thompson‘s departure from the team knocked an otherwise productive off-season out of whack. Yes, many of the key players from the soon-to-be-iced-out team signed on to try to run it back this year, but the starting quarterback isn’t one of them. Chad Kelly‘s place in that GC109 win can’t be overlooked either, as he finished out the game at QB after Bethel-Thompson dislocated his thumb. But when we look at the 18-game season ahead of Kelly, it’s hard to confidently say that the Boatmen will be able to pick up the oars and continue rowing along as the same team we saw close out the 2022 season. We just don’t know enough yet about the new No. 1. For Argos fans and those of the other seven clubs in the league that aren’t at No. 1 on this list, take solace in knowing that in compiling these rankings, we’re often wrong and sometimes even way off on a placement. Last year at this time, we had the BC Lions, then shrouded in questions at quarterback, at the No. 8 spot. We happily eat crow on that pick and will do the same if we’re wrong about the Argos this time around. 1. Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2022 record: 15-3, lost Grey Cup First Up: Vs. Hamilton, June 9 Off-season notable: Kenny Lawler returns to Winnipeg and joins a receiving corps that features Dalton Schoen, Nic Demski, Rasheed Bailey and Drew Wolitarsky, just to name a few. The Bombers made very few moves in free agency (two in, three out). Expect them to be the same dominant team this year. 2. BC Lions 2022 record: 12-6, lost Western Final First Up: At Calgary, June 8 Off-season notable: The Lions lost Nathan Rourke to the NFL and replaced him with Vernon Adams Jr. and Dane Evans, while keeping much of their 2022 roster intact. It’s not the same team as 2022, but the 2023 group should be a good one. 3. Calgary Stampeders 2022 record: 12-6, lost Western Semi-Final First Up: Vs. BC, June 8 Off-season notable: Jake Maier heads into his first full season as a starter on a Stamps team that lost a few players but hasn’t changed much for 2023. The Stamps have scouted well and developed players within their own system for over a decade now and we expect them to be in the thick of things again this year. 4. Toronto Argonauts 2022 record: 11-7, won Grey Cup First Up: Vs. Hamilton, June 18 Off-season notable: MBT stayed put in the States and the keys to the offence go to Chad Kelly. If Kelly plays well, this is a dangerous team. The Argos might be even better defensively this year and remain loaded with offensive threats. If you’re unhappy with this ranking, at least your team is ahead of the No. 5 team. 5. Hamilton Tiger-Cats 2022 record: 8-10, lost Eastern Semi-Final First Up: At Winnipeg, June 9 Off-season notable: It’s a roster overhaul in Steeltown, highlighted by Bo Levi Mitchell taking control of the offence. Hosting the 110th Grey Cup this season at Tim Hortons Field, the Ticats are intent on playing in that game and making up for the opportunity lost there two years earlier against Winnipeg. 6. Ottawa REDBLACKS 2022 record: 4-14, missed playoffs First Up: At Montreal, June 10 Off-season notable: After a long recovery period, Jeremiah Masoli will get another crack at leading the REDBLACKS franchise back into the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Like a year ago, this team is a good one on paper. A healthy QB1 will let us see how good it can be. 7. Saskatchewan Roughriders 2022 record: 6-12, missed playoffs First Up: At Edmonton, June 11 Off-season notable: A new starting QB, a new offensive coordinator and a spruced up offensive line could be the answer to the Riders’ 2022 troubles. In an always-competitive West Division, the Riders may need to click early and get out to a strong start this year. 8. Edmonton Elks 2022 record: 4-14, missed playoffs First Up: Vs. Saskatchewan, June 11 Off-season notable: Taylor Cornelius will have the offence from the opening of training camp, which should make a difference for the Elks this year and he’ll have a wealth of receiving talent surrounding him when he gets out there. One other thing to think about here: a Chris Jones team in Year 2 under his watch has traditionally been very improved (think 2015 Elks and 2017 Riders). 9. Montreal Alouettes 2022 record: 9-9, lost Eastern Final First Up: Vs. Ottawa, June 10 Off-season notable: The Als certainly had their off-season challenges, undergoing an ownership change as the free agent market was opening, which cost them players. Still, they have some interesting pieces for this season and that starts with Cody Fajardo reuniting with head coach Jason Maas in the East Division. With better offensive line play in front of him, Fajardo could be poised for a bounce back season.
