  1. For the sake of human rights, this deal should never have been signed. I think a lot of wrestling fans would be happy to see it end.
  2. Could that be the end of WWE shows in Saudi Arabia? Probably not as $$$ talks.
  3. Watched the last half of the WWE show from Riyadh. Just not a fan of Bray Wyatt. I've never liked him in ring. They had to make sure he won or his character would have been buried. So, that is what they did.
  4. So, this thread is about how to spell Collaros first name correctly as Zach & you still spell it Zac? Pay attention, much?
  5. You probably meant 1998, Pringle wasn't in the CFL in 88. He was playing college football in 88.
  6. They also used racial bias with Eddie & Chavo's Latino Heat theme. They lie, they cheat, they steal!
  7. Charlie Taafe made his mark in the CFL with the Als as an OC losing to the Lions at the 2000 Grey Cup. He had a lot of offensive talent to work with like Anthony Calvillo, Ben Cahoon, Tyree Davis & Thomas Haskins as well as a very, very good OL. In Hamilton as HC the talent just wasn't there & his qb Casey Printers may have been one of the laziest & selfish qbs who ever played in the CFL. No surprise they finished 3-15 that year. He fell on his sword & was fired.
  8. Randy's Innovation Season: https://torontosun.com/sports/football/cfl/cfl-blitz-commissioner-randy-ambrosie-says-league-is-game-for-innovation
  9. Yeah, Big Zach. I like that.
  10. It's a stupid decision which doesn't surprise me with Ambrosie running things. He's already ****** over most teams coaching & scouting bringing in a hard cap. The latest news I heard this week was Randy running his mouth again talking about renaming the pre season, "The Innovation Season" wanting to fool around with the clock during games & other marketing genius stuff during the Innovation Season. Playing his fiddle & telling everyone who'll listen how great everything is while the Halifax expansion flounder like a codfish out of water, the ownership situation in Montreal & BC languishes & the Argos franchise looks more like a rotten corpse everyday. And attendance plummets.
  11. The Gapper. If Claybrooks ends up in Saskatchewan.
  12. Wolitarsky is a wideout so he wouldn't be as involved as a slot. Listen, I hear you as he's being wasted. I think Woli moved inside would be a dynamite slot along with Streveler. Bailey or Lawler would be just as effective if not more than Drew is now. I also agree about LaPo.
  13. Was Norm Chow ever an assistant with Taaffe in Hamilton, Zontar?
  14. Claybrooks isn't a very good HC but he'll have a job as a DC somewhere. Then we'll see how he does calling defensive signals not being a part of the Stampeders. I doubt if he'll have the same success elsewhere than he did in Calgary.
  15. Red Robin's left Calgary 10 years ago. There used to be a restaurant about ten minutes from our house my wife & I frequented. When they say "leave Alberta", they mean leave Edmonton.
  16. I think Streveler would make a more dangerous slot than running back. With his size & toughness there's potentially a lot of YAC yards there. Brad Sinopoli made the successful move from qb to slot with the Stamps & now Ottawa.
  17. Forgot to mention that defensive back Larry Kerychuk was Don Jonas holder in 71 & both Jonas & McKee in 72. He retired after that season because of concussion issues.
  18. He ain't wrong.
  19. Now you can see how easy it was for Trudeau to buy journalists off. At least Bob Irving did the right thing. I can only imagine what jack Matheson would have said if he was alive today.
  20. I know with performances like that, it's a wonder soccer style kicking stayed around. I remember the debate at the time. That straight on kickers were more accurate but soccer style kickers had more range. Back in those days, there were a few high profile soccer style kickers that found success which spurred other younger kickers to take up that style of kicking. Pete Gogolak of the Giants. Jan Stenerud of the Chiefs, Roy Gerela of the Steelers & his brother Ted of the BC Lions. As kicking evolved & the science as well as the coaching improved to the point of where we are today. Today, it's hard to imagine a pro kicker that can't hit 40% of his kicks. As well as seeing straight on kickers.
  21. In 1974, Don Jonas was no longer doing any place kicking. Winnipegger Walt McKee was the kicker for the Bombers that season. The former University of Manitoba Bison was the first "soccer style" kicker to ever play for the Bombers which caused a big stir with fans & media at the time. He had a stronger leg than Jonas & for 2 years (in 72 & 73), then Head Coach Jim Spavital used both Jonas & McKee as kickers. Jonas was more accurate but didn't have the leg for longer kicks. Spavital would send McKee out for anything over 40-45 yards. McKee was also the punter & kickoff specialist in his time with the Bombers. In 1974 as the full time kicker, McKee did not have a great year making just 20 out of 28 converts & 15 of 35 field goal attempts. Wingback Bobby Kraemer would have been the holder that year as he held for Jonas from 1971 thru 73. The Blue Bombers released McKee after the 74 season. He was picked up by the Eskimos & used only as a punter as Dave Cutler was their ace kicker in 1975. In McKee's 3 seasons as a Blue Bomber his success rate as a kicker was a dreadful 39.1%. Be thankful for Justin Medlock everytime he puts one through the uprights. Bomber fans back then never experienced the accuracy of modern day kickers & would have marvelled at just how good they are today. It really is amazing when you look back at the numbers back then.
  22. Maybe get Noeller to do the pre game speech?
  23. We need to talk to MOS about getting you into the lineup for the WDSF.
