Pete Catan's Ghost

Aside from Marquis wheat and a couple of railroads, nothing rolls as familiarly across the prairies as the voice of Jack Wells, an uninhibited sports announcer whose rare combination of garbled syntax, colossal irreverence, haphazard pronunciation and great personal warmth has made him an institution in the west and a unique figure in the whole country". - so wrote Trent Frayne for Maclean's Magazine, August 15, 1959.

In a case like this, I don't know how or whether pro sports teams interview players before signing them. Personally, I would never employ anyone who disparages their former employer (in public, no less), regardless of how good a hire they look to be. The four teams that are in the running for his services do so at their own peril.

I know the look of a man who can count the days until retirement...I see it in the mirror daily.

Odell's last year. He's become a non-factor.

Always thought that would be a great name for a kiddy pool.

Big-Knox-Mo > Phi Betta Kappa

Terry Bradshaw was admittedly not a Mensa member....but I bet he can count to four (as in rings).

Although the called running play by Nichols wasn't particularly successful, it does show that his previously injured knee is good. This makes me happy.

"Kenbrell abides"

I compared their stats and you're right. Despite Demski's smaller sample size as a ball carrier/rusher, the numbers say that Flanders is not "far superior".

This. He is a far superior rusher than Demski.

Bought mine on his first go round. As with C Denmark jerseys....they should never be packed too deeply in the closet.

This....When I saw the shot of him on the sidelines with the OL, I wondered why it's taken so long for him to be appreciated. When he was here, we sure spent a lot of time spreading the Bob Wylie love and even more time, hand-wringing after he left. Kudos to you Coach Costello.

Wally is ramping up the disrespect card as well...says Nichols should be careful with his "kept my uni clean all game" remarks". I predict ejections.

C'mon Als....Get Happy!

There's also a guy named Flanders who is languishing on the 6. I just re-watched a game with him playing from last year, and forgot about what a weapon he is...a much stronger runner than Demski.

This ancient poster wakes up from his nap, chuckles at your post, then returns to sleep.

HH - Mike Miller doing his best Danny Amendola by laying out for a beauty 6 yarder.....FBs aren't supposed to make those.

Yeah, but Picard could crush a nose tackle's testes with diamond cutter precision...so there's that.

I hate when this word is used in this context. I love the irony of you misspelling this word in this context.

Better Jennings than a healthy Lulay. We had absolutely no answers to that guy.

I predict a tepid back and forth affair with a 62 yrd Medlock FG for the win.

On a positive note: Sam Hurl led the team in tackles. I'm sure they will draw strength from that, and come back stronger, faster, and more confident next week against the Tabbies.

They say that Sayles is a thoroughly violent man....I want to see it happen.
