  1. Wally and the don....good at what they did BUT I never witnessed them get a shot in the NFL like Bud ....never mind make a big success out of it😉
  2. Bud Grant was easily the best coach this league has had and ever seen'''He was revolutionary and didn't have to have big money to put together a winner...His Bomber teams won legit and as far as I'm concerned those teams were the winners of greatest cup achievers................Am I biased....hehheh...maybe but the talent on those clubs said it all..Leo Lewis for one...Could have made bigger money in the states and could have easily played there according to Grant...but he chose to stay with an honest straight up coach and winner
  3. I think an asterisk should be placed on all of the teams in that Edmonton era of ...'best teams ever', who have won the Cup..We shouldn't forget that they were also the most 'monied' teams because in those years there was no sms...and those Edm. teams had a ton of cash compared to the other clubs of that era....Can you buy a winner??....I think in those days you could...One of the reasons the sms was installed AND it sure bought an end to Edmonton dominance...As much as some hate the sms....it sure brought a more even playing field to the league
  4. I think many Bomber fans couldn't get past the fact we should have really won a Cup game against the rider's in 07' and Glenn didn't play...Most fans thought we would've /should've won that one if Kevin was behind centre..Pretty tough to blame a guy who didn't even play ,but the stigma was there....It was just as much Charlie's fault that he broke his arm reaching for a ball that Blink coughed up near the T.O. goal line in the final, but somehow Glenn wore that one...Them's the breaks
  5. Her voice was like someone raking their nails over a chalkboard.....Beatle wrecker
  6. You're right about changing up the qb. in the nfl....they'd rather stink it up entirely rather than switch to a back-up....I see it as money....they're giving their starters bags of dough to win...but a lot of them don't have the talent .....I like our system better where we give our qb's every opportunity to produce and if they don't...out comes the hook....Nfl refuses to do that...Also very few of their teams do not incorporate the type of qb. Chris Streveler is...I believe Arizona used him once in a game successfully...doing what he does best....but if I were Streve I would want more action than that...However the nfl seems to have a bottomless pit of money and I don't Chris has a problem getting in on that action....He'll miss the real football ...which is here...eventually😉
  7. Thought we might see some reps. from Streveler ....especially when Arizona was up by a bunch....but no dice.....Chris seems to have shaved his noggin as there was a glimpse of him on the bench ....Do we miss this guy or what...lol...Just like to see him do well... The Cardinals look like they've upped their game....or was Dallas just that bad
  8. According to the tsn talking heads ..potential landing spots for Patrik are Columbus....Detroit....or L.A.....So that's their latest take IF Laine is moved....No mention....not even a guess about who these teams are willing to part with in a trade....Which brings me to, you have to give up great talent to get great talent....How do any one of those clubs mentioned move forward by making a 'saw off ' deal...UNLESS they think they can pull off a shyster deal ..Chevy is not going to part ways with the most liked player on this club for diddly....and he didn't just fall off the turnip truck....We better be talking 'blue chip' for 'blue chip' or someone's arse is gonna be on the line
  9. Too many 'if's and really no confirmation from Laine to believe any of this trade rumour talk....I don't see any trade partner being mentioned...just that Laine 'apparently' wants to be moved and that according to his agent....That's pretty weak...In any event IF it does happen that we part ways with Patrik we better be getting a truck load coming our way and not a load of crap..I'll wait for something more concrete than the musing from the tsn news maker wannabe's
  10. the only thing under that hood is a couple of squirrels running around on a fan belt.....money....money... money...c'mon Hall
  11. Lots of hot air out of tsn BUT NO, not any credible action on moving him...'Apparently' there was some tire kicking going on from a couple of clubs but never amounted to much...Laine is happy here and think he'll be around for quite awhile
  12. Great move to bring back Stastney ... Still has lots of game and from what I heard when he was here last was a good friend of Laine...Should keep Patrik happy and the second line centre we've been looking for,,,,This should end all of the speculation regarding moving Laine....I wonder if we have enough dough to go after Hamonic...I know at one time he wanted to be closer to home and that would be here....Not a super star D guy but pretty competent ..Wouldn't mind seeing him here
  13. .......or later
  14. 16 Titan players now testing positive.....Patriots and Chiefs reporting infections and cancellation.....Americans have not got a hold of this thing and if covid keeps rearing it's ugly head the NFL are going to have to do a re-think about this season
  15. Dustin has been sorely missed on the club....Went out a winner as far as I'm concerned....Wish him well in his retirement
  16. IF a very BIG IF...we move Laine there better be a truck load coming back for him or this fan base will go nutz....Patrik is number five on the trader list....Is he available ..really??...Some teams apparently have been kicking tires BUT walk away when they hear the ask....I think that's the way it will end....some teams will want to give us 'run of the mill' talent and we won't go down that road...We can't afford to after losing a few valuable assets in the recent past...Chevy has to make that clear....So is it 'deal'...or 'no deal'....Guess we'll find out shortly....
  17. I would be shocked if we moved Patrik...His class of player doesn't come around too often.....We have to have cash in the kitty to make a decent offer to top flite defensemen without parting ways with star players...TSN mouth pieces are trying to jack up interest by creating a scenario that most likely doesn't exist regarding Laine ...Can't blame them though as the NHL is in 'deadsville' this year along with a few other professional leagues...Hopefully Chevy is on top of his game and we can make a decent deal to improve.........hopefully
  18. Streveler doing what he did here....ripping into the line with a vengeance ...He'll be a success down there ....our loss their gain... Chris deserves everything he worked so hard for...I might even tune in a Cardinal game to see the big guy doing his thing...winning
  19. Watching and hearing about all of these 'opt outs' is so bloody disheartening...It's like the league is going through a 'death by a thousand cuts' every time you hear about one of our guys going south...Can't blame them for trying ...but crappy to follow at the same time ....I hope and believe also most of these players will return next year ...........................hopefully
  20. Kids a little green though
  21. Negative Nellie's and Debby Downers will never be a part of Mike O's world ...and that's a for sure.....WE'LL BE BACK IN 2021 with the solid Cup winning team we have today... and you can take to the bank
  22. Said he luved it here....He could just as easily pop up back with us as anywhere in 2021, IF his plans down there don't work out
  23. The final decision was most likely made by a finance minister ...who has one foot out the door of this present govt. and the other on a banana peel...Doesn't bode well for a positive decision for the CFL....But like another poster said maybe in the final analysis this season was a shot in the dark in any event...Still hurts that we don't have backing from our fed. govt.....Other institutions seem to have an inside track as far as support......us...not so much
