When I look at Kroeker I can't figure out if he's a young guy with platinum blonde hair or an old guy with grey hair. Ergo a young guy with premature grey hair or an old guy who colours his grey hair platinum blonde.

Thank you, bearpants. The days of small rosters & players that could go both ways.

You're a good fan. Known you here for a long time.

These are the twenty or thirty somethings who think the CFL began in 2005 & their best chance at adulthood is to grow a Movember moustache. We've had a few covering the Stamps for Postmedia. They all dream about leaving Calgary & covering the Raptors, Jays or Leafs.

Argo fans on social media are still trying to justify Chad kelly (probably) going to win the MOP Award by saying he was the best qb in the league because his team won 16 games. That's it. They won 16 games. That makes him automatically the best. As if winning the most games had anything to do with it. They don't like the criticism that Kelly is getting from other team's fanbases. Anyone see Bluto, yet?

I hae a Tom Clements jersey from 1985 that I wish I could still fit into. It's waaaay to small so it sits in my closet.

I have a Brock jersey. Dude's arms will be cut off if he tries that **** in Hamilton.

You like The Crown? I don't have Netfkix so whenever I go down to Seattle to visit my son & daughter in law I binge watch it as much as I can. I'm at the episode where Diana met her future boyfriend Dodi Fayed who owned Harrod's in London. I'm going down there for Thanksgiving so I'll watch a few more episodes, I'm sure. Also binge watched The Orville right to the end. My family likes to go to bed at 10:30 & I'm more of a nighthawk so I have the time to watch these shows when they're asleep.

I'm not going to go back pages to see if this subect was discussed just because you told KBF to do so. I know already & I'll answer KBF's question with a bit of background detail for him, you & everyone else, Jim Van Pelt signed with the Bombers out of the University of Michigan. In 1958, he made the team as a rookie backup qb & played defensive back while Ploen was the starter. Midway during the 58 season, Ploen suffered an injury & Van Pelt took over. He played so well that Ploen couldn't get his starting qb job back. So he moved to the defensive backfield & played very well there. So well, that he had one interception in 1958 & another 10 the following season for 104 yards in 1959. Ploen was named a CFL Western Conference All Star that season at DB even though he came back to play qb the rest of the way after Van Pelt's shoulder injury. Van Pelt started the 1958 Grey Cup & Ploen subbed in for some plays as well. So they both played the position in that championship game with Van Pelt getting the majority of the snaps. Van Pelt was also the Bomber placekicker. He kicked two field goals & 4 converts that game in a 35-28 win over the Ti Cats. In 1959, Van Pelt again was the starter but suffered a hand injury during the exhibition season. He had to wear a cast on his non throwing hand. Still, he didn't miss a snap. In late September of 59, Van Pelt suffered a separated shoulder which ended his season & unfortunately his career with the Bombers. He never played for us again. During the off season, in late 1959, Van Pelt was drafted into the US Air Force for a 3 year hitch. After suffering his separated shoulder, Ploen had taken over from Van Pelt & he never looked back as he became the starting qb for the Bombers until he retired after the 1967 season. In between, winning 2 more Grey Cup championships at qb & also a finalist in 1965. Van Pelt completed his Air Force duties in late fall of 1962. He was a special guest of the Bombers at the Grey Cup in Toronto as they wined & dined he & his wife in order to convince them he should come back, They tried to get Van Pelt to sign a new contract for the 63 season with the Bombers but he turned down the offer to become a chartered accountant in Chicago where he lived until he passed away last year. Who knows why he turned down the Bomber offer as ther CFL was paying as good or better than the NFL at the time. Van Pelt showed no interest to play in the upstart AFL which began in 1960. However, salaries were beginning to rise as the new league was competing with the NFL & CFL for players. The Canadian dollar was on par with the US dollar back in those days so there were no implications with the exchange rate for American players going back to the US in the off season. Perhaps Van Pelt felt that the team belonged to Ken Ploen now after being away 3 years. Maybe he felt that he had lost his edge. He certainly lost his desire to play as he was ready to move on to other things than football. Whatever the case, he never came back. He settled into private life in the Chicago area. So KBF, Ploen never started 4 consecutive Grey Cups as a qb but he won 3 as a starter & played in 6 championships.

The Jets have been valued at $925 million. We are one of the smallest markets of the the 4 Big Leagues... With the smallest arena. Unbelievable.

Can we get back to food & drink here for Da Big Game, please? Gonna have wings on the menu. We usually buy finger foods for the Grey Cup & Super Bowl. My liquor has run out so I'll have to buy a bottle of Crown Royal & Jack Daniels.

Ouelette underused is a story we've heard before. When teams get behind they abandon the run.

I don't hate Chad Kelly. What I hate is TSN & the Eastern media not only constantly pumping him & the Argos tires at the expense of 2 quarterbacks out west who had better seasons. Vernon Adams & Zach Collaros. The constant cheering for Kelly didn't solidify him with love from the fans across the league. What it did was turn a good story of a guy playing very well resurrecting his career & leading his team to first place in the East. So, when he failed miserably yesterday fans from other teams cheered & laughed. All because of the charge led by TSN. It really is unfortuante as the CFL needs good young qbs who can play. Kelly can play. Compare him to guys like Taylor Cornelius with the Elks, the Stamps Jake Maier, Riders Vince Dolegala as well as Dustin Crum in Ottawa & the miserable seasons they had.

Some real facts: Dinwiddie: Probable COTY: Spit. Ouelette: The Best RB in the CFL: Spit. Kelly: Probable MOP Over Oliveira: Spit. Kelly: Named All Canadian QB: Spit. Kelly: All Star Over Collaros: Spit. Argos: Best Team All Time: Spit. Argos: Better Than The Bombers: Spit. TSN: Constant Argos Whoring: Spit.

Dinwiddie left his qb out to dry. There was no help for the guy from any coaches. They just left him in to get beat down. I've never seen anything like it. Dinwiddie is the OC but have you ever seen the guy actually engage his players? Especially his strruggling qb? The Argos got what they deserved. They prepared to play this way. Took the easy way out the last 9 games. The way I see it, the Argos thought that the Als would just lie down for them. Dinwiddie had his head up his ass all season. The whole team did. Especially after Labour Day.

He's steaming in Toronto.

Hey just remember Davis Sanchez said the BC Lions have the best personnel in the West & it isn't even close.

You'd think TSN would have cameras over the goal lines.

Time for the manic Dane Evans.

Well, we had another CFL Super Team bite the dust today. Hopefully, the CFL Super QB according to TSN does the same. Ha, ha. Sukh Chungh.

Maybe if Demski was 100% he could have held his block for one more second. I'm just glad he's playing.

That drive started out promising & then fizzled. The Lions DB put his shoe in Lawler's face which should have been called.

Gotta get the ball out faster

Really? Please just stay healthy.
