  1. Well, in that example, sure. But how many D Ends will play qb? To me, if Streveler can be effective as a running back & he can actually play that position then he should be allowed. I think that there are too many restrictions on CFL rosters.
  2. With small rosters & injuries they have this rule? If a backup qb can play RB then he should be allowed. But that would be too logical.
  3. Roster sizes aren't small with 53 players. You can only play 22 in total & 11 at a time. Which leaves 31 players to be backups & special teamers.
  4. Singleton is luckier than most. He has options that aren't at the whim of an NFL GM. He could go back to Calgary & sign for a minimum $250,000. Maybe not NFL money but if he plays a decade he's set for life.
  5. He loves Calgary. I'm sure if the money's right he'll be back. With Mitchell missing 7 games he should be able to be signed. The question is will Michel be back?
  6. I was following his progress in Philly & every NFL writer covering the team said he was in tough down the depth chart. The Eagles are deep at linebacker but that performance should have nailed him a spot on the roster. Marken Michel also had a 75 yard TD pass the first exhibition game. And he was waived. Don't let anyone tell you this wasn't politics or favouritism by the coaches. They already made their decision before the game. There is a lot of anti CFL bias in the NFL. I can see him refusing a PR spot as Singleton can come back to Calgary & get paid more than being on the PR.
  7. Found this video on the Internet. We all know the CFL has attendance issues. Back in 1977 when Montreal got 70,000 to a home game with the Argos. Back when the CFL was relevant to Canadians. When teams sold out their games routinely. Halfway thru a 16 game schedule & already the CFL had attracted a million fans to its games league wide. Hard to believe that today.
  8. No, Bomber_fanaddict, it has no relevance to your post. Other than the guy was 54. Brian Hellwig as the Ultimate Warrior still looked like a million bucks. Like he could get back in the wrestling ring & be dominant again. But it was all a lie. In truth, if you watch the video of his in ring speech on Raw, he struggled to climb the steps into the rind, was sweating profusely, breathing heavily & his face was flushed. He tried to shake the ropes as he did 25 years before but even though he looked like a beast he appeared to not have the strength to do it. Hellwig was a known steroids abuser & he used them to ride to the top in the WWE but it cost him probably two or 3 decades of his life & the chance to watch his kids grow up.
  9. This guy died at age 54 on April 8, 2016. Three days after being inducted into the WWE HOF & less than 24 hours after his very last public appearance on Raw. Brian Hellwig aka The Ultimate Warrior. He looked like he was in tremendous condition but in truth he wasn't. His heart gave out. Probably from all the years of steroid abuse.
  10. Priders are now planning their Grey Cup parade route.
  11. You must use candles in your house instead of light bulbs. Just sayin' after reading that statement.
  12. You made a wise decision. Too bad about your HS teammate.
  13. Why is that funny, Frosty? Goalie is absolutely right. Money can't buy you health.
  14. Nothing on screen except advertising.
  15. The Blue Bomber offense. Where CFL receivers come to die.
  16. Yukon Tropicanas.
  17. Reaves is a total asshat.
  18. You should read what Jordan Reaves is saying about Harris on twitter.
  19. Let the teen with the earphones, backwards baseball cap & pants halfway down his ass goes thru but test the 75 year old senior in the walker as she looks suspicious. #randomtesting
  20. TSN went to great pains to tell us that the Maritimes are a football hotbed. That there are lots of high school & college teams in the area. Well then, they should have busted the doors down to show how much of a hotbed it really is. This was a chance for the Maritimes to showcase just how much they want the CFL to locate there. fFans had one job. To show up, sell out the game & show enthusiasm for the CFL in Halifax. Instead we saw lots of empty seats in a 10,000 seat stadium with excuses about prices & starting times. Eight years ago this game attracted 20,000 fans. Now, with an actual team on the line they don't even get half? They will never, ever see that level of football out there without a team & the fans stayed away, I think it does tell us just how little support a team in Halifax would get. And hw much of a fiasco it would be to put a team there.
  21. Don't agree at all.
  22. The CFL is a passing league & has been since the 70's. We are a throwback team in a lot of ways. Yes, we are run first but our first choice when qbs make their read is a check down to Harris at the expense of our receiving corps. Harris is a special back but we still rely on him too much in comparison to what other teams do offensively. I think that needs to change.
