Spaghetti Legs

I've lived in Winnipeg, Vancouver & Calgary. I've not seen another area as unique as Riverview where I grew up. Great neighbourhood. Lots of great memories.

Now the craziness has spread to Vancouver Island. People are selling their homes in the Lower Mainland & are moving there as the housing prices are more affordable. But driving up prices for everyone so how long will that last?

He can say all the nice things about Edmonton that he wants. Just don't say anything negative about Winnipeg. He was treated extremely well here so why even do that? Plus, you know how Winnipeggers are. Sorta like, you can think your sister is ugly. That's okay. But if anyone else says she is then look out.

He just sounded ungrateful which surprised me. I've been to Edmonton many times & it ain't that great either. Take away their mall & City of Champios sign & there ain't much either.

I don't know. I hope so.

I wish they'd try to get the CFL on a major sports streaming service like Dazn. Expose the game worldwide. Develop a CFL video game. Look for different revenue sources. Why does our league not even try to think big or outside the box??

Lawler took a shot at Winnipeg saying he likes Edmonton because it's "more scenic" & it's a lot bigger. There's more to do, he says. I'd think that since our teams made him who he is & the fans loved him here that he could have kept his mouth shut & not make going to Edmonton a personal thing. Any outsider who says negative things about My City is fighting words.

Bond was so dominant as a Bomber. I credit him with beginning the turnaround with our OL. Then he went to Edmonton & disappeared. What happened? How do our boundary receivers look with the new hashmarks? Are they getting more work??

Grant would have had to start over & that wouldn'r have been easy. There wasn't much left of the old dynasty when he left after the 1966 season. The cupboards were becoming pretty bare. I think he knew that he took his Bomber team as far as he could as a Head Coach. Things were looking bleak especially qb wise. Ken Ploen was getting injured a lot as his OL was suffering through retirements & young guys coming in with little experience to start. Ploen would pay the price of their inexperience. He missed a lot of time his final season in 1967. Leo Lewis retired after the 1966 season as did other key veterans. Both Ploen & Frank Rigney retired at the same time before the 1968 season. Talk about a double whammy for the Bombers to absorb. All the retirements after Grant left was something his longtime assistant & now new HC Joe Zaleski just wasn't ready for. The opportunity to coach a good team in Minnesota was too much for Grant to pass up. At that time, the NFL was starting to become the juggernaut it is now & player salaries were escalating. The CFL was falling behind both the NFL & AFL. Grant did what was right for him. He earned it.

I did some research, Campbell, Clair, Buono & Matthews won 5 GC's. Grant won 4 in the shortest period of time. Ten seasons. To me, to be in the Top 5 the Gold Standard has to be a minimum of 4 wins.

Teams shouldn't be given this kind of an advatage. Just like when the players went on strike, the practices in YYC & YEG should have stopped. The 2 teams could have meetings until they were in a legal strike postion but not physical practices.

He was some kind of qb. He would be considered not just a CFL star but a superstar. Zach Collaros plays the game the way Clements would have.

LDC 1986. Tom Clements to Perry Tuttle. Touchdown. I could watch this all day.

He's there.

You won't get any argument about that from me. Grant won 102 regular season games & 4 out of 6 Grey Cups. Most younger CFL fans & media probably don't know that much about him. It was decades before their time. Another coach that barely gets a mention is Frank Clair who won 3 in Ottawa & I believe another one or two in Toronto before coaching in Ottawa. Or Frank "Pop" Ivy who won 3 Grey Cups in a row in Edmonton in the 50's. Hugh Campbell, Wally, Matthews, Bud Grant & Frank Clair are my Top 5.

So, why do the Riders get a break & we don't? We were supposed to play that game on May 23rd & now it's been moved to May 31st as well?

Your comment won't change my opinion. This has nothing to do with forgiveness. If it was a legit health issue with Eli for not getting vaxxed then my opinion would be different. However, looks like it wasn't. Just that he simply refused to get the jab & it affected our depth on the OL for the Grey Cup. Luckily, there were no injuries in the playoffs or GC. . You only have to look at the Bomber organization & see how they feel. Seems like he was quietly released. If they weren't upset over what happened then I'm certain that he'd be back. He's gone. A free agent. He hasn't signed anywhere. The Bombers don't seem to want him back. That says it all. We all make choices & we have to accept the consequences.

Huffman was a beast.

To viewers who remember the original, this will always be Thomas Magnum & Higgins. Not them. Magnum PI cancelled after just 4 seasons. This series might have had a better chance with a different name & premise. Reboots seldom work. I knew this sweries would fail when they made Higgins female & his main love interest. The funny thing about the original series is how the two protaganists would play off each other every week. Higgins felt that Magnum was sloughing off the good graces of Robin Masters. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't fun watching Higgins changed to a female lead being Magnum's love interest. I never missed an episode back in the 80's. I watched a couple of shows over the years of the new series including what turned out to be the series ender last week.

They wanted to cheap out at qb so they could strengthen other areas. It's a gamble that could pay off or really backfire for the Lions. If O'Rourke isn't the answer, a lot of dominos on that team willstart to fall. Not to mention the fact that if O'Rourke does play well then he'll have to be paid which means some players will be gone. Even if he doesn't play well & is rteplaced by a veteran CFL qb he'll still have to be paid & they'll have the same problem. Not the best way to manage the salary cap.
