Pete Catan's Ghost

Of all the new additions this off season, I predict Jordan Younger will have the most impact.

The old punchline states that your friend refuses to provide his name, and gives the cop the foil ball. He then says: "You don't need my name; this silver bullet will tell you everything you need to know about who I am." (Oldster alert)

Good list. I'll shoehorn in David Shaw's int in the 84 Grey Cup that began the turnaround from being down 14-3. BB scored 27 in the second quarter and never looked back.

LaFrance has one good game on his resume and has shown nothing to indicate he has the versatility of Timothy Flanders.

I was amped about Demski as a BB option last year but now wonder about his injury hx as well. Has it been two season enders in two years? As a Winnipeg boy I think I may have overvalued his potential contribution....but it's not me signing the cheques, so I'll let Kyle make that call.

How do we know that he wasn’t chirping about Regina? They were his last team and subsequently ponied up a lot more for Collaros than what they were willing to pay Glenn.

....and, unless we've time travelled to the Renaissance Period, I can do without ever hearing "methinks" again. Or maybe I just protesteth too much.

Open your eyes Sleepy Joe...Really; open your eyes.

In addition; RW gets huge bonus points for recommending Charles Roberts to the the BB.

This is like being a little bit pregnant. You either piss yourself uncontrollably or you don't. I would know; I remember the 84 Grey Cup.

You'd say whatever the crowd wanted too, if William Shatner was standing three feet away from you with a phaser pointed at your head.

Codsuckers has a nautical feel.

You might want to research the name: Horn Chen

Forget Salisbury; you could put Sean Connery in, if we had 1988's wrecking crew of a defense on this team.

I once had a nasty case of Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, so I was prescribed tincture of Horn Chen by an Asian Apothecary....I then learned the truth. http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/horn-chen-former-rough-riders-owner-dies-at-age-83

Plus we're already in Maas' head with the prospect of facing our hurry up offense. No opposing team had more problems with it than the Eskies.

If they hurry and hire Marcel now, they may still get a shot at Timid Tim Burke in a two-fer.

The Calgary equipment guy should be slapped upside the head, or worse. Not only does the wrong footwear make you ineffective, it can be freaking dangerous. Messam could have easily torn something.

You can say that again.

I'm not convinced that we won't see Darvin back. What a shot in the arm that would be!

You mean a hybrid like....say....Flanders?

If anything, I see a gentle nudge from management for Hall to retire with a replacement coming from within. He is too respected by management to be canned. Before anyone says that an internal coach taking the leap to Richie's position is crazy talk, remember how many of us thought that Bob Wylie would be irreplaceable. Of course, if we can juggle the ratio (see Demski) and replace Hurl with a moderately competent import, then Richie's future looks a lot brighter

Would love to see Neuf get a little redemption today.

Cryders keep on trotting out this "rebuild" language, like it is an acceptable and necessary move on their part. Who's to say that they wouldn't have reached the unremarkable level they currently sit at, by making less drastic change than they have over the past few years. Just because you choose to gut a team of its existing players doesn't mean that management shouldn't be held accountable for wins and losses. Once they have to pay market value for next year's QB, you will see many of the other more costly pieces on their roster not being resigned. Looking forward to seeing who won't be back from the current roster if they have to fork out for Franklin, Collaros, Lulay, etc

Not to mention that a pretty penny will have to be paid for a higher priced QB than they currently are spending on that position....or else roll with the Banks’ and Glenns’ of the world.
