I don't know... he sounds like this dude:

You don't think the issue was more so that we ran heavy and the original QB was scared to throw to his open receivers and checked down to Harris non stop? Our Canadians are light years better then crap like Rory Kohlert, Kito Poblah , Brock Ralph.... Our Americans are better then crap like Aaron Kelly, washed up Romby Bryant and a whole bunch of one and done guys. To say our receivers are a mess is quite the exaggeration. At the end of the season / play off run when we had a QB throwing to our receivers... did you really see Lawler and Bailey dropping balls left and right? Same throughout the season with our Canadians.. I'm not saying the receivers are the best in the league but to say they are a mess.... not close at all. Same goes with the DB's.... we rotated a tonne of them throughout the year with mixed results.... the guys we brought in late in the year seemed to all gel and played well above average.

The same receiving core that won a grey cup is a mess? While I won't say our receivers and dbs are world beaters... they are far from being a mess.

Big time upgrade for him, depending on his age he may even have a decent pension....

Rob Brown was on that list.... how that guy could go from scoring 100+ points in the NHL to being stuck in the AHL scoring 100+ points was always a mystery to me...

Yeesh people over blowing a simple post from his wife.... you don't think maybe she's happy that they are on a free vacation and the end result will be him making more money?

I wonder if Toronto goes for Couture?

No and I think a different question would be do you think Harris will transition to a receiver after a year or two?

How dare the guy do his due diligence and weigh out his options!

In fairness... MBT also put up a tonne of garbage time stats after his opponents were up by a large score and playing a soft defense.

I wonder why SJ Green requested his release? The thought of Nichols throwing no balls his way scared him away?

I think this will also happen, Nichols will get hurt and MBT will take over....

Also when the wise up guys park or picket with signs saying slow down photo radar ahead.... they always tend to get in trouble for doing this. Same goes when study after study shows that extending the yellow light considerably cuts down on accidents and people running the red lights....

I did like on the Nichols highlight that the biggest play he made was the roughing the passing penalty he took lol.

Normally I would disagree with this statement... however he seemed to be a pretty big family man so I don't think the allure of going somewhere with the big night life really factors in his decision.

I just don't see how it succeeds? Back in the day when XFL first launched they had red hot wrestling to promote it which would pull a tonne of their target demographic crowd over. They had gimmicks which at least made it seem to be an edgier football product. They had good tv and better football players. I don't see how they succeed this time around when WWE has 50+ year old audiences who are already entrenched with their own favorite NFL clubs, watered down players, no gimmicks, way more competition for entertainment... Also while football has had a good past two seasons.... previous to that the NFL was worried because they were on a downward trend with an aging audience losing big time fans going over to the NBA. Vince has a tonne of cash to blow, but for his one success (wrestling) he's failed miserably at everything else.

If it were that easy then the AAFL or Arena would still be in business.... I think Vince mistakes the amount of interest the XFL actually has. I wonder what crazy ideas he will have mid season when ratings tank and he goes into desperation mode to get them up?

The original XFL at least had a chance since at that time they had a lot of potential cross over fans from the WWE. They had some good ideas and at least the roster had more NFL cast offs that casuals may recognize.

I don't see how it makes money... when was the last "new league" or sport been successful? UFC 15 years ago?

Watch Calgary signs him and he looks like an immediate all star....

This !!!! Other teams chewed up the field on us with quick/mid slants and we rarely ever called any plays for them.

I'm pretty sure no one can debate that pre injured Nichols that he was lights out. After the first injury he dropped down a notch, and after the 2nd injury he took another significant step back.... now after a 3rd injury it gives the Blue good reason to being hesitant on throwing money at him. If Nichols wasn't banged up and playing at the level he did when he first arrived then I don't think anyone would of fussed about giving him 500 k.

I wonder where he ends up? I wouldn't write him off just yet.

Based on what I've learned by reading these boards.... Toronto will not be able to sign WJ since they have invested way to much at the QB position

Nothing is as Canadian as the Brazilian and American owned Tim Hortons
