Damn, I picked him in my amateur draft. I'm too lazy to check, does anyone know off the top of their head what are the experts saying in how close he is to playing in the NHL?

Yes he's called Alex Singleton. The guy's a beast.

I'd add Elliotts spin ball move after making a first down. Dunnigan's reaction to that was priceless. He said something to the effect of dude you moved the chains, you didn't just win the Grey Cup.

He being Thorpe? If so, wrong in what sense?

Nice gesture on the Bombers part to wear that young man's initials on their helmets. Well done. Shout out to our line that continues to give Nichols the necessary steamboats for certain plays to work. A lot of Nichols success is due to that line of his. I hope he is treating them well.

A suspension and fine imo is an appropriate consequence for his actions. I say 3 games plus maximum fine. That might expedite his idea of altering his tackling technique.

A suspension is a public flogging?

On TSN, he states he is going to change the way he tackles. Wow. Why was he not suspended? Wouldn't this be a good scenario for the new (er) CFL commish to make a statement?

If that's what happens, I don't see that as ugly if they play to their potential. That combo has the makings to be a pretty decent fourth line.

Thanks for the update. Some would call that move blackmail where others would call that move good business.

I haven't been following this story so maybe this has already happened but is the next move for ownership to say we're pulling the Flames out of Calgary if the City doesn't ante up more?

It matters only in the sense of grading out bubble players and to get the team into game mode for the start of the season.

Now that's funny.

I think you underestimate the qualities needed for a CFL receiver.

Fair enough. How would you suggest the person who submitted the original post read this? I love sarcasm, I think it's one of the funniest humor forms around but I am constantly learning when to use it and when not to and no where near perfect that's for sure. My rule: if I give it out, I need to take it in.

It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it.

Right, we don't deserve, but as a fan we are interested to know. It's a normal human reaction when things happen that doesn't make sense right away.

Great reminder. If one was a betting person, Edmonton is the likely place Thorpe ends up. JC likely heads back to BC if they'll take him.

It looks like Banks doesn't even try. Unbelievably bad PI call to get them to the one with 5 seconds. Unbelievably worse play came up next.

Hmmm. Okay fair enough. But I still like Hughson over Cuthbert. :-)

Predictable response. :-)

Other than us having differing opinions, I guess the only thing that would settle these differing viewpoints is actual evidence. Lots of complexity when it comes to that, because even comparing each of their ratings and viewership can be skewed by a few things, e.g., the importance of the game being played, the time of day the game is being played, what teams are playing etc etc. So I continue to disagree with you based only on my observations.

Knucklehead. He really does come across as someone who thinks he is smart and clever than he actually is.

Again, to each their own. I'm just telling you what I enjoy, color guy or main announcer.

To each their own. Matt Dunigan as a color guy for football and Jim Hughson for hockey are my favorites. Both get me emotionally into the game.
