That would jive with what I have been told by my neighbour who was a kicker with the Argos when O'Shea was the Special Teams guy there. He just wants to coach young men and send them into battle to win. That's it. To put this in military terms, he wants to be with his boys in the trenches. He doesn't want to be 100 miles away deciding which boys get sent to their deaths while he gets to be far away from the action. O'Shea is a frontline guy, right in the heat of the action with his troops. That will never change. And that's why his boys love him.

Yes of course. I am reading Delvin Breaux's autobiography and it's pretty eye opening in terms of how the CFL and NFL treat their players. The CFL seems to allow players to get healthy while the NFL just wants to send everyone out injured, to get even more injured, because it's basically just a meat grinder and they have hundreds of other guys waiting to step in. Interesting take and a good look on the CFL.

I don't see the point of pushing Ellingson into duty right now unless he's 100% good to go. Otherwise let him have the bye-week to get really healed up. what really matters though is clinching first in the west. We want that home playoff game. Let Rourke and Bo duke it out in the WSF.

well there's a jinx if I've ever seen one... BuT OUr RuNgAMe iS tErRibLE...

CFL's Ted Lasso. Only not in a good way. Yeah, unless there was someone on the 1989 team that was in management in 2007 and 2013? Otherwise yeah. Suits should have been given rings in 2007 and 2013 for his homerism, which coupled with his actual 89 ring would give him three...lol...

Never gets old....

The Professor! I'm expecting Bellfool to get another shot at the CFL soon if Machoch or Lapo get fired.

With all of those over-paid prima-donnas in the NFL, I just don't see FIFO working conceptually there. And without FIFO, the O'Shea model has a way lower chance of success. IMHO anyway.

He was playing here in Kelowna last year. Not sure about this year though.

Yeah when you look back at some of the losers we had running this franchise from Reinebold to Kelly to Buchko it's actually not that hard to understand why there was a 29 year drought.

What's Raghib Ismael doing these days?

I'd like to see more passes to Brady out of the backfield. He should be a threat for the opposing d's downfield just like AH was for us.

you should be calling the Lions to start planning the parade route. I'd avoid most of East Hastings if I were you....

Good Canadian kid, goes in the corners, tough kid who isn't afraid of standing in front of the net and taking the hits to get the deflection on the shot from the point, he should be able to handle the cold Canadian climate just fine....now if he was a Swede or some European kid, totally different story...

I'm going to disregard everything from John Lu. He looks like he's been on a three month meth bender...

Is Huffnagel not allowed on the sidelines? I don't get that comment. Calgary is still a threat. I wouldn't take them lightly. We got lucky in 2019 in some respects because their receivers were all playing hurt and were dropping everything. They've diminished since then for sure, but they can still put up a heck of a fight, and in the playoffs that all you need, is a chance.

David Spade has now attached himself to Dana Carvey. There's always hope for parasites like Evans.

I honestly think we broke him in the 2019 Grey Cup. He has never been the same.
