Yeah, great front ends like Jim Pettapiece & Bryan Wood from Don Duguid's championship teams. Guys whose names I no longer can remember but I admired when I started playing myself. Calgary has the facilities at Canada Olympic Park where they built a curling arena....

Nah, love the old corn & synthetic brooms in unison booming through the building & watching those great front ends go to work on heavy ice for 10-12 ends... I played front end & when you got in a rhythm with the other sweeper it was incredible... It was LOUD!!!! Miss those days... Yeah, **** got on the ice but that was part of the game. At least with a corn broom sweeping still could save a rock if it caught a straw unlike brush hairs today.... Blisters were also part of the game. They became calluses . I used to go through 3 or 4 gloves every year. I just remember when you played in a Men's League twice a week or in a bonspiel if we heard the boom, boom, boom of the brooms from another sheet everyone that could would look up to watch the sweepers for a second or two...

No, disagree. The panel became about Milt mostly & his suits. Or the outrageous things he would say while trying to emulate Deion sanders or Michael Irvin. Matt Dunigan would get fired up & start doing the same thing from a qb perspective like Terry Bradshaw. Then they brought in Burris who just a few short years ago trashed the entire panel during a halftime sideline interview as another talking head who really added nothing to the discussion. Yeah, sometime Schultz had pedestrian views but I believe it came from the position he played. To him, a big play wasn't just about running the ball, catching or throwing. It was about the meat & potatoes of a play. The blocking. The boring stuff that fans don't care about.

Stop sign in an action scene. Academy Award good!!!

Found this on TSN website... this has to be nearly 20 years ago. The Good, The Bad and The Duthie - Featuring Chris Schultz - Video - TSN

All well & good but find a way....

He kept guys like Matty & Milt grounded. The panel isn't as good as it was when he was there. I always hoped he'd come back to the panel. This is such sad news. My condolences to his family.

I remember Punky Brewster. She certainly has grown up.

Too bad we can't have Joe Poplawski step into a time machine & come out 40 years younger.

Hey appreciate it. Step #1 to getting our lives back to normal.

I'm 65 so happy to hear I'll be getting the Pfizer vaccine.

I'm 65 & at least the UCP did something right today by saying I won't be getting the Astra Zenica vaccine even though Health Canada has cleared the vaccine for everyone. Instead anyone 65 & over here will get the Pfizer-Bio Ntech vaccine instead. Not thrilled having to wait 4 months for my second shot but we need to get vaccines into people's arms as quickly as possible.

We have the same **** in Alberta. Rural UCP MLA's want all restrictions eliminated. I get into it with some of my Conservative friends on facebook who feel Covid is a scam & masks are useless. I have one friend who said Florida & South Dakota are normal like Covid never existed there. I just quote the numbers in those States & that's usually it.

You need toughness. Not speed. And a physicality to play inside because now you're bumping with linebackers & defensive backs. Not just corners on an island relying on a safety to have their backs. There isn't as much room so small windows of opportunities exist when the ball is thrown. Sure handedness & toughness outweigh speed.

I think Nichols lost his confidence & his hesitation was a result. My son used to go to a lot of qb camps in the US with some of the best coaches around at the college & pro level. I used to hear these coaches tell the qbs there to get rid of the ball quickly & "to trust your eyes". In other words if the pass is there don't question it just throw it as that window will close very quickly. Coming back, Nichols struggled losing his confidence. See my answer above.

Nichols was never scared. Leave it to a fan sitting in his living room to call out a player's courage. In 2018, he had a QBR of 91.0 & in 2019 it was 107.2.

Delete.

How can you say Nichols doesn't have accuracy? Otherwise he'd be throwing interceptions all over the place & have a completion percentage well under 50%. Most of it was LaPo's offense. It's all about the routes & decisions Nichols made as to who he threw to. It has nothing to do with accuracy. Nichols career stats are as follows: He has attempted 2,373 passes with 1,582 completions for 18,363 yards & 108 touchdowns. He has a career completion average of 66.7% & has thrown 60 interceptions. Nichols has a career qb rating of 93.2. Those aren't numbers of a player who isn't accurate. Now, he has other deficiencies that come into play but that isn't what you said so therefore not worth mentioning. I'd like you to define accuracy...

Just a waste of talent.

It's more the offense we run. We throw the ball to the slots more than the wideouts. Put Woli inside he has the potential to be a legit thousand yard receiver. He deserves better than 2 catches for 17 yards kind of game we've seen.

Sure, random troll calling himself Horseman comes here & starts referencing John Hufnagel in a hockey thread of all things... Yet claims he doesn't know the only garbage fan site for Stamps fans is called CFL Horsemen? What a joke. Say hi for me to the biggest self important, bloated ego of an admin on the Internet. Emperor Geo.

For some reason they won't move Wolitarski inside which makes no sense at all.

Horseman is from Calgary. He threw in a Hufnagel reference already.

Horseman, huh? So, one of the 5 active posters left on that stupid site is bothering to troll here? What's the matter too busy there for ya?? Lol.
