Maier has at least 3 more picks than td passes so that'll affect his QBR. As well as two or 3 pick 6's.

Which may cause the NFL to take a pass on the guy.

I never take any team for granted. Remember Ottawa?? Look at last night. So, until we have a comfortable lead in any game we play, I don't breathe easy.

Dunigan especially. He always talks about hws great some young qb is doing when he isn't. He tries to constantly to find sunshine in a storm cloud. Most of these guys are total **** qbs. Even now, he still pumps the tires for Caleb Evans, a guy whose sun never rose past the horizon before going right back down. Just a terrible backup CFL qb. Even in his win the last time he played for the Als he was crap throwing the ball. And he's still in the CFL. Then there's Dominique Davis. WTF is he still doing in the CFL??? Usually the leading passer is among the best couple of qbs in the league. Maier isn't even Top 5. So, lading passer in this situation means nothing when his team is 3-8.

That's an insane rule in thre collective agreement. A rookie coming into the CFL even if he played or was on a PR roster for a couple of years can only be signed to the CFL minimum. We need to find new stars in this league to bring the fans back. This doesn't do it.

As far as commercials go, just about every one of them is annoying. Especially when we see them repeated over & over during a game. All it proves is just how stupid advertisers think consumers are. I've started PVR'ng the games now & waiting an hour or more before I watch. That way, I can FF thru all the commercials. Which is why I never partake in the conversation here during games much anymore. I come by afterwards. Not seeing all those dumbass commercials is so nice. I also don't like the 5-5:30 pm MDT start times as I'm usually bbq'ng or just relaxing on my deck with my wife. I can watch the games when I want & not when TSN tells me.

Based on what I saw of Powell he & Dru Brown are on par. Brown has another year of experience in a high powered offense but right now, both have about the same anount of actual game experience. You look at the qb situation in the CFL & where could they both end up? Ottawa looks like they'll stick with Crum. Argos have Kelly. Hamilton will probably try to lock Powell up long term as I can't see Bo levi coming back & is Matthew Schilz the real deal? Don't know as he's not playing. Fajardo is actually playing well in Montreal. I think they stick with him. In the West, BC has Adams, Calgary has Maier & I think Dickenson & Hufnagel see him as their long term qb going forward. Saskatchewan is definitely a place where either Powell or Dru Brown could land. Especially if Trevor Harris retires. However, Mason Fine has shown some potential as well. Zach Collaros is entrenched here so if Brown wants to start he then has to leave. Edmonton is a wasteland. It may be where qbs go to die. Especially if Chris Jones stays on after this season. But we know if these 2 don't re-sign with their respective teams that the Elks will go hard after both.

Lieghhio made his kicks last night but just barely. They were all pulling to the left & just getting in by a thread. He could have had another 2 or 3 misses. You'd think he'd be working on centering his kicks but it looks like he never does. But he's the Ti Cats problem now. Not ours.

Before ECW, the WCW had a Cruiserweight Division where Eddie & Chavo Guerrero wrestled. As did Chris Jerico, Juventud Guerrra, Dean Malenko, Psychosis, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio & others.. There was high flying action. The WWF (at the time) preferred the bigger wrestlers. The smaller performers seldom made the roster. The Guerreros, Dean Malenko, Kidman, Rey Mysterio & jericho all had success in WWF.

Teams sure have challenges signing players with these one year deals. So many things come into play.

Did anyone notice the sack Mathieu Betts got tonight he tripped Powell with his foot as he scrambled away? No penalty. No idea how that could have been missed as it was a flagrant trip.

What is the relationship between Jameer Thurman & James Butler? Farhan Lalji was interviewing them both aftet the game & he mentioned something about them being together but never went into it in any detail. Akll Lalji said that when Butler signed with the Ti Cats then Thurman wanted to play there as well. Thurman played Mac with the Stamps & was a major loss for the team when he left. He was their best player on defense.

I have no idea where to find the up to date stats. Bush freaking league.

Losing looks good on the BC Lions & their DC Ryan Phillips.. Bunch of yappy Lions DBs & an arrogant defensive coach were shut up tonight by a struggling rookie Hamilton qb & a former Lions running back James Butler. Ti cat QB Taylor Powell did his best Tom Brady imitation tonight. Looks like firing Tommy Condell & replacing him with Scott Milanovich was the right move for the Ti cat offense. The Lions DL was dominated tonight by the Hammy Hoggies. Hey, too bad Davis Sanchez wasn't on the panel tonight. Remember, according to him the Lions have the best personnel in the CFL & it wasn't even close. LMAO.

I've watched wrestling for a long time but I was never into that bloody style of pro wrestling that ECW was about back then. Steve Austin & Chris Jerico also wrestled for Heyman in ECW. I don't like a lot of the gymnasic moves you see now where the wrestler about to receive a bump just stays in position until the blow is delivered, It seems to me the AWA & WWWF oldtimers back in the 70's & 80's seemed to have better timing & sold the moves a lot better. Today, it's all about kicks to the head or what Finn Balor does coming off the top rope jumping on an opponent's stomach. Or high flying spots. I guess that's what the fans want so the wrestlers give it to them.

Funk came from a family of wrestlers & the Funk name was huge in Texas. Dory Funk & Terry Funk won many championships together as a tag team in different wrestling promotions.

No worries. Thanks.

Thye Argos tried to sign Joe Montana when he was a free agent in the 80's. He seriously gave it some thought to come up here. That would be unfathomable today. Can you imagine a CFL team trying to sign a player like Patrick Mahomes today??? The Bombers signed former Seahawks qb Jim Zorn in 1986 which caused a bit of a stir at the time. The Seahawks great actually ended his carrer as a Blue Bomber. He was 3QB behind Clements & Hufnagel that season & he held for Trevor Kennerd. I asked my son in Seattle to have him sign my Bomber mini helmet when he told me he was going to meet him. He obliged. It's now in my collection.

He would have been pretty old by then. Man, some of the bumps those guys were willing to take.. Bats wrapped barbed wire. Jumping off structures 30 feet off the ground. The fans were bloodthirsty.

I hear she's 32 now with 3 kids. Still looking for a husband.

The "last" post was August 3rd not April 3rd so it was recent. I wasn't complaining. I was just asking a question. No malice was intended. Sorry to piss you off.

Funk would have fit into the blood & gore ECW run by Paul Heyman in the 90's.

Can you say Hello USFL or XFL? I knew ya could.

Can we put this thread to rest now?

Then His Royal Epicness in a blaze of glory dumped it at the wrong house. Lol.
