the guy in my profile pic is getting warmed up....

the LOL'ks are better than people think, and the Riders (we really need something funny as a nn for them...) are worse than even we realize. I could absolutely see Edmonton passing them to take the crossover and Sask missing playoffs.

fyp. Watch the **** out, CFL.....

that's the exact one!

since we've got this thread going..... another Player Of The Week nod for Collaros this week.

I'm normally skeptical about these kinds of things, but colour me intrigued on this.....

Lololol at CoFaj, All Star and MOP in the same sentence........

And, to the point of my original question, Arland Bruce, Geroy Simon and even Albert Johnson were INCREDIBLE talents....NFL-calibre talents.....which we've had a very difficult time finding over the last 20 years. I don't know yet if Schoen is comparable to those guys, but he sure seems well on his way. Matthews might be at the same level as those others I mentioned, but Denmark and Romby Bryant aren't, IMO....

I think I'm around 20 all told, mostly Ebay purchases. I'm always in the hunt for older ones. My white whale is a Dunigan jersey circa 1993. My pride is a Walby circa 1990... Raven-made. I don't own any jerseys of a player from the The Trinity regime. My wife has a Bighill, and I really want to add a Harris or Nichols at some point. There's just so many players from this championship core that are "worthy" of buying their jersey....

That's such an Osh thing to say. He is ALL about his players...

I still want to do this! I haven't dropped the 200 bucks yet but I'm going to for sure!

Those are B-listers at best, I would say...

Yet, what has changed on that OL to this year, where they seem like world beaters?

Just to prove I'm not alone.... Lol.

Ooooooof to thinking that Buck, in his healthy prime, was a better QB than Collaros. Don't get me wrong, Buck was great at one point in time, but I have really come to appreciate just how intelligent and talented ZC8 is. I knew he was good in Hamilton, but he has proven to be a wizard here.

I was absolutely certain that if he was even brushed by a falling feather, that he'd be toast. While he has been protected better than anywhere else in the league, he has occasionally taken some shots and proved to be durable so far (*TAPS FOREHEAD TO KNOCK ON WOOD*)

Rule of thumb in broadcasting is "every 2 minutes"....

He was indeed. I'd forgotten about Matthews. So Schoen is definitely not the first REC recruit since Simon/AB3/etc....

So is Schoen the first legit receiving star we've unearthed on our own, since the Taman/Ritchie regime??

MODP is Bighill and then everyone else at this point of the season.

The Riders are exactly who they've always been under this regime. Trash. CoFaj is a career 3rd stringer that flukes his way into some wins the past couple years, but we're absolutely seeing exactly who they are.

I live on Twitter and see every scrap of news as it becomes available, but I don't remember hearing/reading a single morsel of information about Brandon Alexander's timeline to return from injury. They've been extremely quiet on that one.

Everything coming from the draft said that Noah was the much better of the two, and that's all I've really got to go on....

Driving after work tonight and listening to Lions radio team. Riders start taking trash penalties toward the end and PBP guy says "well, big surprise... They ARE the Charlestown Chiefs of the CFL...." Excellent.
