    I brought in that video before the football team I was coaching was about to play a big playoff game and played it to them. We destroyed that day. However, I am not a professional coach, and in my defense the movie was a bootleg while still in theatres and most of my team had never seen it before. One of the greatest football movie speeches of all time.

    If the XFL shows even a fleeting chance of breaking even I will be gobsmacked. You speak of a following the AAF had? The revenues vs. expenditures don't seem to agree.
  3. GCn20
    All of this predicates on a guy actually getting paid for a whole season. As the AAF has taught us...that's far from a sure thing.

    Being a severely biased homer is written into their contracts. No joke. Two people in the past 3 years have been fired by the Riders for making critical comments about the club. Carm and even the ultra-homer Rod Pederson both fell on their swords for mildly criticizing the club. Just unbelievable really that they don't allow the voice of their franchises to have a shred of integrity or dignity in their job execution. Taylor is basically told Riders best, Bombers worst...no matter what the reality is. Rod Pederson had a pretty frank discussion about this after being fired by the Riders. For the first several years he had to have weekly meetings with the Rider organization where he would be told what his talking points were and what he would say. Sounds like Russia almost.

    Did you mean immobile? If so I agree.

    Just illogical really. We have to play in the cold so let's practice in perfect condtions so we're not ready for it.

    In fairness to the RIders they have a semi reasonable explanation that they were trying to keep the status of their QB under wraps. However, Hamilton...just plain stupid. Saskatchewan, ultimately stupid too but with good intentions.

    Why in blue blazes would any team need to practice victory formation? Don't even practice that in Pop Warner after the first year.

    No, they're right that OL didn't move much at all. Waved their arms like matadors at guys running by them, but move...not so much. I guess that is kind of the definition of a pylon really.

    A 4 score lead is garbage time. The fact that Toronto took advantage of it, and we let them, doesn't change that. Richie Hall, as he normally does with a big lead, put our defence into a prevent defence and that makes any QB look great. Problem is he did it much too early in the game.

    I've seen multiple clips of Duron Carter doing it as well. Does that make him a locker room leader?
  12. GCn20
    No kidding. Collaros, Nichols, Streveler, Arbuckle, and Masoli are all better QBs than MBT. Why would we pine for the 5th best QB available? MBT as a backup if and only if Strev is in the NFL. Otherwise signing him would be nonsensical imo.
  13. GCn20
    That game was garbage time. He had nothing and was down 23 points until we decided to quit playing that day. That wasn't MBT beating us, that was us checking out way too early in the game and then losing all the momentum.
  14. GCn20
    Not to mention garbage time stats.

    No I don't Mr. Trudeau. lol

    I was hoping for Jason Maas and that someone would make fun of his ears.

    It helped their offence out a lot. What hurt BC was how much they paid for Reilly and even more so was the fact they let 10 out of 12 of their D starters go and replaced them with pylons because they couldn't afford Reilly's contract, and their FA shopping spree, and keep their roster intact. Had Reilly taken baby steps the Lions would have been much better.
  18. GCn20
    For sure. They were devoid of leadership and character throughout the entire organization from ownership through to waterboy.
  19. GCn20
    If QB is your need then it can help out immensely. Comparing Edmonton is not an apt comparison. Harris was not making them better at QB because they had Reilly the year before. Also, QB was never Edmonton's problem, it was defence and poor discipline.
  20. GCn20
    Yeah...the Argos really were rudderless at QB this year. Not a single guy in that room that could rally the troops.
  21. GCn20
    MBT is a bit of a flake though, I don't think he inspires the guys around him very well. He's got a great arm but lacks leadership qualities imo. I could be out to lunch on that but just watching him on the sidelines and in his interviews the guy is...what's the word...a little different.

    I'm with you on that. I wanna be drinking by the campfire on Friday night as much as possible. I like the Thursday games. However, I can understand why many don't. For those that don't please take solace In the fact that, somewhere out in the nether regions of internet pariah-land, gbill is losing his marbles about the Thursday games and probably writing letters to the CFL about it while getting banned from whatever forum he now frequents.

    I suspect that when married men do this it's so that they can get their wife to quit hating their buddies and start hating their buddies wife instead. Meow...

    Chris is clearly in the first couple years of marriage before the Fun Police has eviscerated the boy inside the man. Nichols has been married a few and his succubus...I mean wife...has clearly drained his zest for life and it is reflected by the distant look of sadness in his eyes. A telling trait of marriage single guys...when some married guy tries to tell you marriage is the best thing they've ever done...just look at their dim, sad eyes and know that is what their wife programmed them to say.

    In Mike Kelly's defence it is very hard to run the jet sweep 61 times a game from the shotgun.
