Matty could have had a twenty year deal in 1993, would not have made a difference as he tore his acl.

 

Whoa circular argument...

my point is that cals inability to transition from dunigan is what sunk this franchise

letting McManus go while choosing garza... iirc?

i just remember the son in law years

It was that damned stupid CFL expansion that took him away to Memphis. That & being paid in US dollars.

Matt actually went to Birmingham.  Even if Matt had won a Grey Cup with the Bombers in 93 or 94 I don't think Cal signs him as the owner of the Barracudas - Mr. "Vincent Lecavalier is the Michael Jordan of hockey" - offered Matt a huge contract.  I believe it was over $500,000 US per year for at least 2 years, maybe 3... and then he proceeded to pay Matt a percentage of the amount owed in year 1 after which the team folded.  I seem to remember Matt taking Art to court over this.  I'm not sure how it was resolved in the end.

I wanted Calgary to lose, but not like this... with an embarrassing loss at home like this they're going to blow Edmonton out of the water next weekend.

Call me crazy but I actually hope this does happen.  I know ... it was BC they played, but the Esks have been on a three game win streak and just look like a team that's gotten back to winning again.

I guess in my opinion, I feel like much of the Riders' wins have just been pure luck, and I just don't see a team relying on flukes and saddled with a player with a Cam Newton complex as going far, not even against us.  The Esks on the other hand appear to be getting healthy again and Reilly coming into the playoffs hot could spell trouble.  So ... If I pick my poison it's definitely SSK.

If we play SK we lose.  They have Jones and Muamba, we have Oshay and Hurl.  If it continues like this we won't win another game this season.

Never missed the playoffs tho. 3 cups, 6 appearances. how soon we forgets.

I'm sorry but on real life the 1995 and 96 were crap - saved only by the fact that other teams were truly beyond awful

the wheels were coming off - then reinbold melted the whole car

He'll be back next time. Smarter, wiser & even more dangerous. Stay vigilant. We live in tumultous times. ;)

After all the posts I've seen with him, I doubt the word "wise" is in his vocabulary.
