This is for you wbbfan. The entire NBC telecast of Super Bowl III. New York Jets vs the Baltimore Colts.

The problem is he works for a moron who is his GM. Kavis looks only after himself & will continue to do so.

NONE in Calgary that I know. But the US is different. The 7 on 7 leagues down there exist so high school teams can run through their plays in the summer to prepare for football in the fall.

Someone like myself & others here who knew players from before your high school days are not decrepit. We are wise to the ways of the world.

Some Texas Championship 7 on 7 football.

I wouldn't watch. I don't think many people would. If they do it, it'd be 7 on 7 as there are high school leagues in the US during the summer all over the States so most players would be familiar with the rules.

If Vince brings forward an actual football league that centers on actual quality of play & the athletes without the gimmicks, stupid story lines & amateurish broadcasting crews then maybe this has a shot if it gets off the ground. I just hope it's not full of patriotic **** to get viewers. I still think the NFL will kick its doors off & people won't just necessarily jump to a new league because of players kneeling for the Stars & Stripes. I hope Trump is involved as then it's a guaranteed failure.

Lombardi despised Super Bowls I & 2. First, he didn't think that the AFL should play the NFL as he felt the rival league was inferior. Especially when it came to Kansas City Chiefs qb Len Dawson who was a failed starter & backup qb with the Steelers before he jumped to the AFL. Second, even though he believed the AFL was inferior, he still felt he & the Packers were under enormous pressure to represent the NFL & to win. He didn't want to be the first NFL head coach to lose to the AFL. He also said he was miserable the week preceding those 2 Super Bowls because of it.

No kidding. Millennials only think that the world existed after 9/11.

Back in January of 1969, it was like two generations going at it in the Super Bowl. The conservative Baltimore Colts led by Earl Morrall & Johnny Unitas representing the NFL vs the upstart, new & brash New York Jets led by Namath representing the anti establishment AFL. You had to be alive back then to really, truly appreciate the clash of styles between the 2 leagues & just how huge this upset was in professional sports. It sent shockwaves that were felt for years & paved the way for the merger just 2 years later.

I remember Earl Morral & Johnny Unitas. The Colts has 2 qbs with 50's styled brush cuts & high top boots playing for them when they played the (then) ultra cool long haired, Fu Manchu moustache & white shoes Joe Namath & the Jets. I was 13 when that Super Bowl was played. The first one I actually watched.

That seems to be Marc Trestman's attitude as well. Play the starter no matter the score. Give little or no reps in practice to the backup. It's a great philosophy until the starter goes down. Then coaches like Trestman & Arians get fired.

Kavis Reed has a Joe Mack kinda respect. Oh hey, they work together. LOL!

Killing that guy outside a bar would mess up anyone.

Mike Sherman seems like a good man but knows absolutely nothing about the CFL. I feel sorry for him having to work for Kavis Reed & Joe Mack. You know he won't get a lot of help from those 2 & they'll be so busy covering their butts if the Als get off to a bad start.

Great post wbbfan. You Da Man!

Gary Crowton? Amazing what failure can do for a resume. Don't be surprised if Jason Boltus is signed by the Als if Crowton is hired. Joe Mack was one of the worst GMs in CFL history yet these failed retreads keep getting jobs. Unbelievable.

They don't even show the US National Anthem on tv anymore before games. I don't hear or read a lot about continuing angst from Americans anymore. The networks have killed the protests. Eventually the protests will peter out. The players have lost their forum.

We'll all be happy, happy, joy, joy when Ritchie Hall gets axed. If not, all bets are off.

One day he won't though which is the sad part. He has to be the one to finally say enough is enough. He hasn't hit rock bottom yet. He may never. Alcohol may kill him before he does. Alcoholism is such an insidious disease.

That thing will be awash in losing money. If Trump endorses it, it'll be guaranteed to fail. Vince may be rich but he's not a fool. At least you'd think...
