or... sometimes people can be really good at most parts of their jobs, and not so good at one specific portion of it.

When TBurg finds a topic where he can be a contrarian and have people react:

TLDR: BC sucks

Some people remember the time just after the ice age. It was way cooler back then.

I hope you stopped and thanked him for everything he's done for the online Bomber community. I don't think he gets the recognition he wants...

Yay, new tag line for me! Trump pays in advance ... Lawyer 201

The golf course is really nice. Try to get there for a round each year.

The point is that you have to consider all the things that a player brings. Yes, passport (nationality) and physical assets are different, but both are what a player brings to the table. And, I did agree with his first sentence, thus the suggestion that if only he had stopped there...

If you had only stopped at the end of the first sentence. The problem is that you do have to take the passport into account because that's part of the whole package. Sort of like saying "If it wasn't for his drive, Milt would have been just another slightly above average receiver."

Who Holms the Chiefs?

I believe he became the national spokesman for the STS* society * Swollen ******** Syndrome

Ummmm, OBG?

And... took their entire 2023 ticket sales cash to do it!

We call that an Argo sellout

For what it's worth, my friends in Saskatchewan are saying that this is the wrong time of the year for a combine. This is harrower/seeder season.

Personally, I've really grown to hate the term "training camp fodder", even though I know I've used it in the past myself. These are athletes chasing a dream and for them to be in camp means that the team sees something in them. Sure, some guys might have a slim chance at making the team, but they're not fodder, they're taking their shot, and good luck to them..

I agree. I just wish there was some way of insuring that a certain number of starting positions on each team had to be citizens of the country in which the games are played in. That way citizens would have some opportunity but there could still be people from other countries able to compete too. Oh well, a system like that would probably be way too complicated to be practical.

The reason is in the title. It's the CANADIAN Football League, not the Silver Metal for US Players League. Canadian kids should be able to have a real chance to play pro football in their own country and not have to fight over the scraps left to them by Americans who for whatever reason, didn't make it to the NFL. Ya, the number of Canadian kids playing in US colleges is growing but it is still a very small percentage. The CFL is special because of the ratio and our rules and I hope it stays that way.

Four Thousand Would be Great: Mission Impossible by the Argo's Fan Base

Agreed. If the Bombers really wanted him back, he'd be signed already. I think that after that "hero throw" interception during the Cup game (which I really don't think was the called play) the team said thanks for your time, feel free to show yourself to the door.

Rest eternal grant unto Harry, O Lord. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, in your mercy, rest in peace.

whoops - not sure what happened there...

It's hard to take seriously anything a grown assed guy says when he insists on publically calling himself a nickname that sounded really cool when he was 18. I prefer to respectfully call him Herr Ball in the German style.

It's funny how these US non-NFL leagues come and go. It seems that between high school ball, college ball and the NFL, Americans really don't want/need anything else. Yet at the same time, once this latest league folds, someone with more money than brains will come along and try it again. And at the same time, the usual suspects in Canada will declare that this (insert new league name here) is the end of the CFL. And round and round we go.

Can you imagine how the Argo fan boards must be blowing up right now? Oh, wait... never mind.
