Two.

i remember a couple of years ago he was crying because there were no Stamps OL named to the Western Conference All Star team. He was convinced the Stamps line was better than the Bomber line. I called him out on X & he wasn't happy being criticized.

I think it was George Cortez of the Stamps who bamboozled the Esks in the 2001 Western Final coming out with the five & six pack receiver set for the first time as well. The Eskimo D had no idea how to stop it. You look at how innovative the Stamps were back then as well as the qb factory they had & look at them now. Just a shell...

You can see the necessity of a short yardage team & why it came to be in the CFL. Even with the one yard off the LOS on the goal line, we couldn't score. It looks like Willard Reaves was out of the lineup so they had FB Sean Kehoe #35 & HB Pat Cantner #33 in the backfield. Cantner would have been replacing Reaves. Kehoe was Reaves blocking back all season. Neither had any speed to go outside. All they could do was run straight ahead thru the A & B gaps & BC shut that down. With the receivers they had, the Bombers should have thrown the ball. Those 2 Canadian backs couldn't get the job done. What brutal playcalling by whoever was the Bombers OC at the time.

I bought this album in 1971 when I was in Grade 9. I played it over & over until I wore out the grooves on the album & it started popping & skipping.

Did the ball cross the goal line on Kehoe's fumble? It was pretty close.

In 1986, our three qbs were Tom Clements, John Hufnagel, Jim Zorn & on the PR Tom Muecke. I see Muecke was dressed & on the sidelines. Clements was out of the lineup with an injury so he was elevated to #3 qb position. The game itself hasn't changed that much since 1986. I know Rich was talking about that if they went back 40 years from this game shown it would be 1946 but the same basic stuff is still going on. The equipment (helmets) are better & we have video replays. That fumble may have been overturned for a TD today if it touched the white end zone line. The game really changed from 1946-86 & not so much from 1986-2024. I just remember being so pissed at Kehoe after that game. He had two jobs.... Find a hole & score & then PROTECT THE ******* BALL!!!!!!!

I remember that fumble. What a killer mistake by Sean Kehoe. I think that was his last game as a Blue Bomber. YOU never heard of him...

There was a reason for that. When football started to transition to the "soccer style" kickers in the late 60's, they had no coaches anywhere who knew how to coach these new type of kickers. It took until the first wave of new kickers retired in the mid to late 70's & started coaching themselves that the kicking game slowly began to improve. A lot of these kickers still had to play other positions. Ted Gerela was the CFL's first soccer style kicker but was also a linebacker for the Lions when he broke into the league in 1967/68. Guys used to practice alone with no coaching. They ended up practicing their mistakes & really not improving as kickers as no one was there to help them. Considering everything they went thru, these pioneers actually did okay. Walt McKee was the Bombers first soccer style kicker in 1972 & he was a career 52% kicker. That was actually considered pretty good back then. The change was on as the kickers revolutionized the position. There are no more straight on kickers anymore. Today, kids as young as 10 years of age can sign up for kicking camps everywhere, It's no wonder that great kickers now have stats percentages in the mid to high 80's.

That would require work. I get the impression that our so called Commissioner, his staff & the Board of Governors would rather not do any of that.

Anytime.

if you call him out on those takes which I have in the past then he gets pissed off. And a couple of years ago he kept saying the Bombers OL was overrated & the Stamps were better. So then, why all the Bomber all stars on the line???

Yeah but the time zone keep getting later the further east over the Atlantic into Britain & Europe. London is 8 hours ahead of LA. The time zones will be a big problem.

Ryan Ballantyne. He isn't credible because he's a Stamps Boi. He doesn't care about other teams. Just the Stamps. He believes he's a credible member of the CFL media. I disagree because he's a Stamps fan. My feeling if you want to be considered a member of the legit "media" then you can't show your biases when you're reporting stories & have to be neutral. I've occasionally had the odd run in with him online. (Surprise, surprise ).... He doesn't like it if someone questions his analysis.

Drew Edwards, the beat writer from the Ti Cats started it. He was reassigned & was never heard from again.

I have no problem with Booch voicing his concern over the wat our roster is utilized, whether once or a thousand times. Why do you??

Environmant Canada really scaled back the amount of snow the Winnipeg area will get. At least from the forecast I read this morning. I think the amount of rain & freezing rain will affect the amount of snow you guys get. Here in Calgary, we've got close to 20 cms of new snow on the ground. We've had 2 years of bad drought so I hope that this means we'll get more snow & rain for the remainder of March & into spring.

It was so bad I remember some posters here being angry Justin Goltz was benched. That list makes you wonder why people wanted Brown to start over Collaros.

That's a drunk not a sexual predator. It didn't sound like he was interested in anything sexual (thankfully). He's either on a psych ward now getting treatment for mental illness or going to AA meetings.

Is this an actual story or an analogy?

Yes, you got that right.

Typical Noeller. I wasn't criticizing. I was listing some of the things he did by memory. Hence Boeing & not Bristol Arerospace. Noeller was 6 when Mulroney was PM.

It probably kept him busy & made him feel better doing it. Sad.
