Fatty Liver

I'd think using statistical analysis would be helpful in determining play selection on the O side of the ball.

Oh well, it is big news over on the Riders forum. According to some of them sheep-luvin yahoos, with this one contract Walters literally screwed up everything Jones accomplished last year in re-setting the salary cap league-wide for first round picks. It's an unbelievable travesty of unfathomable proportions.

F'it.

Adonis Apocalypse....may not be the best name for a QB.

Plenty of squabbling to catch up on, fisticuffs will ensue shortly.

If the site has been upgraded or improved in anyway, I can't see it. lol

Exactly, better options could present themselves once teams begin to cut down their rosters after TC.

I think JFG is Portuguese.

Can't see it, he played 6 years and his best season was 34/424 yds. playing catch with Ricky Ray. Hope they can do better.

I agree, game disqualification for head-shots on any player should send a clear message.

This is from Wayne Shaw (Clamps) on the Riders forum. " When I played my first year of football in Grade 12 at Notre Dame College and then with the Hilltops Junior club for 2 years it just seemed to be more natural for me to tackle with my arms and shoulders than with my head. I believe it came from all my teen years of fighting off my 2 older brothers who were better at boxing than I and so I would try to duck their punches and finally just grab them with my arms & shoulders and sit on them. I had become stronger in the arms & shoulders than my 2 older brother by doing more physical labour on the farm like rock picking , hay bale loading milking cows etc. etc. while my 2 older brothers got to drive tractors which didn't build their muscles in a natural way like mine. During my first 2 years with the Riders when old Steve Owens & Len Younce who had played & coached with the New York Giants and they never stopped coaching or bugging me too put more of my head into the tackles. When Eagle Keys became our Head coach he liked the way I tackled with my arms & shoulders and nicknamed me "Clamps" for making good tackles to bring runners & receivers down with my arms & shoulders without my head. I am quite sure I got at least one concussion per year for my 12 years tackling with my arms & shoulders and I am quite sure I would be with my 4 Brothers in the after life if I would have tackled what they called the proper way in the 60's & 7o's so I guess I have Eagle Keys to Thank for being still here and for making 7 AllStar teams in my 12 years with the Riders. It is amazing to me that it took some many years from the 1960's for all those smart American players & coaches to catch up to Eagle Keys & I about tackling to save your brain somewhat." Even though he employed better tackling technique he is currently suffering from the effects of CTE. Incidental contact and full body collisions over the course of a career will cause some amount of brain damage and there is unlikely any way to avoid it. It's the nature of the game, as long as the contestants are well aware of the consequences, then it's their personal decision to participate.

I think it comes down to the physics of motion and equipment no matter how advanced will only be able to do so much to alleviate concussions. Our bodies are just not designed for that level of impact. The brain is like a bowl of jello in a contained space, if somebody can figure out how to keep it from sloshing around when it goes from 10 km to zero in a half second then that would be the basis for improvement, imo equipment will not conquer physics.

That's the thing, the more protective equipment becomes the more it gets used as a weapon. If we only had flubber.

Another Wildwood story, the first house we purchased in that neighbourhood belonged to "Uncle Bob" of Archie and Friends fame. Never met the man but according to the neighbor he was one strange dude. He lived alone with his puppets and never went outside except to walk to his car, apparently he subsisted on Gondola Pizza and a twelve of Molson daily.

What a coincidence, that's the same name as my paper boy! Jason and his little sister Jennifer used to deliver the Free-Press in Wildwood back in the mid-90's. I wonder if they still have that paper-route....probably didn't amount to much, neither of them could ever hit my deck!

Looks to be a good prospect, good arm, athletic ability and composure. 4th on the ladder so he's a decent replacement for Bennett.

He probably wasn't getting the results he'd hoped for when he came to the CFL and didn't want to continue on that path. League wide I don't think there is an opportunity for him to start on any team.

You need to qualify that. It's not that simple, football has to deal with this issue and not pretend that there isn't a serious problem with their game-plan.

No kidding, they can still pick Teague Sherman out of the dust bin if they have to but I'd like to see Rush to get the opportunity.

Hi, my name is Vince.

You're right, but I think the bit about the potato sack is true....

Don't know if it's been mentioned before but Billions is a great series starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis.

I can understand the connection between Trump and the Russians, their country is ruled by an oligarchy and Trump aspires to recreate that situation in the US.

More on the Edem story. Looks like Lions will have a lot of new faces in their D-backfield this year. http://3downnation.com/2017/05/11/b-c-lions-traded-mike-edem/
