  1. Any clips on this guy.......I want a glimpse of what 4 yrs. of waiting looks like
  2. What the hell is Ambrosie doing....letting the argos' off the hook....He's setting a bad precedent here...I understand that this franchise is on life support BUT knowing they cheated and allowing them to keep a first rounder they didn't deserve, and doubling down on an extra territorial pick is just plain bull$hit ...He could've let the fine go but for cripes sake have the balls to back up the rest of the punishment...All of the rest of the clubs are presently wondering what the hell is going on...BRUTAL
  3. BIG HIT losing Cuthbert....I just don't see a replacement anywhere that will fill his shoes...TSN and the CFL are going to miss this guy...What a crappy year this is turning out to be
  4. 3rd. down has a piece by Darian Durant....First of all calling him a legend is a joke...secondly ranking the 3 best qbs. currently in the league and picking Fajardo (must have had his green goggles on) as one of them....especially over Zack....What a bull$hit piece , consisting of blowing smoke up the riders arse...Maybe he's looking for extra big lettering on his induction into their hall of shame.......Hey Durant....we want our money back
  5. Winnipeg is the largest city in North America, credited with handling covid 19 in an exemplary manner...An enviable record for sure, considering the carnage that this pandemic has wreaked in other cities....The city and province should be very proud of the way they've handled this virus................................... so, 'C'mon down to Winnipeg'...Jefferson had it right
  6. No I didn't......but did you know that Daniel Boone was a relative of Pat Boone...seriously........................Now don't ask me who Pat Boone is
  7. Agreed...but this is what happens when you take away our football season....at least for now
  8. Nah.....he wore a coon skin hat...killed himself a 'bar' when he was only three...king of the wild frontier guy.....Had a t.v. series back in the late 50's early sixties and sold a million hats and buckskin jackets.................................I'm too young to remember Kojack or Miami Vice.....lol
  9. If he makes the club, Davey would be a good handle.....Sounds like he could out run a bear....but I wonder how good he is at grinin' down bears.... Okay.... cue......'who the hell is Davey Crockett'
  10. Yup.....I'm pretty sure we kept the right guy.....Reading the column story and his thoughts about returning, makes our decision to keep McGuire a very insightful one
  11. Looking for that next Winston Rose.....good start
  12. I always thought Lucky was just one step...one little move from breaking a play for bigger yardage....I think he's definitely on the right track in working on that part of his game...that being more elusive and smarter...Looking for bigger things from Whitehead this year.........................................whenever that is?????hopefully
  13. Oh there will be pro sports again, but like the world of today and after the pandemic, it will be a changed world...What those changes are going to be is yet to be determined and implemented....I do however see some activities being on a trial basis....like the Texas situation that was mentioned BUT like everything else it will most likely be on a contingency basis...If it goes sideways and just one player tests positive for covid, then the trial will collapse...Is it in anyone's interest to see that type of scenario and a resulting situation where you have to start over again from square one?....Lot's of ramifications and I'm afraid this virus seems to be dictating where we go from here...It will be a fantastic day when we can say we beat this thing..but it will have taken it's toll and will leave a different world..especially us in pro sports
  14. Pro sports has to 'obey' the health authority regulated by government..You can not circumvent a health order no matter how many billions of dollars might be involved or who you are...Health of a nation comes first before money is considered...Trump is finding that out in the states..You could try and remain status quo with your league and carry on BUT you could also be open to heavy fines and be far worse off than if you remained in hiatus...I'm going to suggest right now that the NFL might be in the same boat we're in IF this pandemic remains a threat to the citizens of that country...billionaire owners or not...
  15. I think Walker has applied for CREB and was seen in the labour line looking for work....That's what happens when you dilly dally..........Seriously with all of the money issues this pandemic has presented...Derrel might have missed the boat
  16. I know politicians want to see solid business plans....we went through that with IGF funding and still only realized a small portion from the feds. and that was the U. of Man. portion....As was referenced before in this thread there are many moving pieces involved that have to be addressed before a viable plan can be put forward...Having said that I believe Ambroise should have had at least a credible outline before he went knocking...I'm not privy to the direct meeting he had with the Libs. but it would have been prudent for him to have all of his cards on the table and that would have saved a lot of time ...My deduction from all of this is that govt. is mulling over the facts that they have...It shouldn't take too long to have an answer if the CFL's ask is in the realm of possibility...otherwise I think we would have heard some negativity by now...I hope when all things are worked out that they will see that we are valuable entity in this country and we are recognized for it
  17. So when do the feds. give us an answer?,,,I hope they don't sit on it too long and keep the league guessing....I've found in politics the longer things are drawn out that there's some sort of glitch and more conferencing is needed...Of course they could come out with a flat out 'no' BUT they could also offer some suggestions of their own, that might include some of our well heeled owners like Braley and get some input from him....We're hanging on the ropes guys...maybe we get saved by the bell and Trudeau comes through...Here's hopin'
  18. Is this what our conversation has degenerated to because of that damn covid and no football....then all I have to say is....... drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life.......Is there anything on the horizon resembling the CFL////???...I'm getting beyond frustrated
  19. I think we're looking at bridge financing to get us through the episode with this killer....Not going to be easy going by past fed. govt. involvement with our league....They are reluctant with cash going our way, to say the least, BUT we have to give it a shot...Do the feds. see us an integral part of the country and 'different' and unique as some politicians are saying???Guess we're going to find out
  20. We would look like hell if we traded Couture to anyone, after he expressed his desire to play here and re-upped right away....He knows where the winner is and it ain't on the left coast....I'd be very surprised if we dealt him...After saying that Bennett 'MIGHT' still be around because you just know the hunting for good canuck O Line guys is going to be fierce and the priority...most times always is.....But we shall see...Our O Line is very deep and is the best in the land as far as I'm concerned, so I don't see us as in the mix for an offensive line player... A DL hometown boy like Bennett would be a nice project...but a credible db would/could/should also be a consideration
  21. yup....no way was Simon going to beat out the depth at receiver we had back then...Although thinking back I wished there was someway we could've kept him , especially after Arland buggered off to T.O. shortly after his nfl stint...and Geroy hung around the CFL for a very long time......Didn't shake the crystal ball hard enough I guess....
  22. He musta went underground
  23. Is that why we cut all of our managements salaries, to make room for Derrell....??😉
  24. What a huge mistake this thing turned out to be....No one in their right mind would take on this disaster....Someone is going to take a bath a long with the idiot that had the concept for this venture...Lots of ex-CFL guys looking north and wondering ,what the hell happened...For anyone trying this again, a lesson has been learned .........................I think???
  25. Whatever happened to this guy.....seems like he fell off the earth...I see that the Esks. have signed Armanti Edwards today....not a bad little receiver...Thought they might be in the Walker game.....I doubt they'd be now with the inking of Edwards
