Spending the rest of my weekend searching for a new image you can associate with me now.

you thought I was black?

I know. Bomber Grey Cup Champions shirt - Final Edition

If anyone spots me and wants to grab a beer at the game tonight, don't be afraid to say hi I'll be wearing that ^^ and I look like this (I'm the one on the right)

I feel like I get this reference. If it is a reference.

just when you thought it was gone ...

First game in years that I'm getting hammered at. Hopefully by halftime I'm drinking to celebrate rather than to forget

I was thinking about that the other day. Crowton seems to have figured out the red zone now. Biggest issue Elliott had. I wonder what Elliott and Crowton could produce together this year.

I'd have him do the placekicking for us over Palardy in a second. His kickoff average is substantially better (59.5 compared to 54) and he's got a stronger leg than Palardy for sure. Not to mention, he may be able to push Renaud as well. His punting numbers aren't stellar but I have to excuse at least a bit of that because it seems like he's kicked almost exclusively in a dome while Renaud has had several wind-aided punts to bump up his averages. That's moot without any actual research to support it though.

Well for starters, the feel good story about a homeless man turned professional athlete ...

That's a fairer statement, but let's be honest ... it's not just Crowton's system that Buck has struggled with. He struggled with the LaPolice offense. He struggled with the Crowpolice offense. He struggled with the Crowton offense. I just don't see a comeback being successful. I wish it could be.

Meh, I never claimed he was polite to anyone within his organization or the media. I just said he was polite to me when I spoke to him.

You can get more than one first down on a drive. Technically, I suppose the most you could get on one drive would be 10.

Kind of a shocker But I'd get him here ASAP unless he got cut from BC because he's not interested in playing football anymore or something.

Mack was honestly a really nice guy to deal with if you weren't a media guy. I've spoken to him multiple times in the past and he's always been polite and made you feel like he's willing to spend time talking to you.

A snapshot in time? Now I've heard it all. So what you're telling me is that in your opinion, even though Buck has sucked for two years, my point being made is contingent on his next performance? Okay then.

I find this difficult to grasp. I've seen Goltz throw some terrible balls but Pierce's performance in week 2 is burnt in my memory as being just as poor as any game Goltz has had.

"thousands of dollars" lol come on Al.

You mentioned it for me.

Speaking of statistics ... From the game notes for this week. That's unbelievable.

Anything Goltz did at the end of a drive led by Buck, I attributed to Buck.

I won't say it was cherry picking, the stats are what they are and I didn't handpick statistics that I thought would favor Goltz. But of course it was to prove a conclusion I had already jumped to. I'm very obviously biased in favor of Goltz but really, how can I not be? If there are any stats anyone would actually like me to look into in addition to those ones, I'll be happy to do it. I can't help that every statistic I looked into favors one guy over the other.
