Its also the most common thing that happens on goal line stands. Hard to believe no one even noticed wbbfan 1

rebusrankin Posted August 8, 2018 Report Posted August 8, 2018 Why would anybody want a 44 year old wr, who will be 45 later in the year, who hasn't played since 2011 in the Indoor Pro League and who did a TC in 2012?

I suspect that Jones senses that the wolves are beginning to circle. I think it was a move to show some fans that he is "connected" in the business and can call of Hall of Fame players just to hold off the inevitable wave of discontent. I doubt TO will suit up. After all how many coaches/ general managers get to quit on their terms. By being greedy and taking so many jobs Jones has made just by probability theory a high chance of not succeeding at one of his many jobs.

Though he only missed a significant portion of time once in his entire career. George foreman re captured the heavy weight title at 45 years old. And he took greater damage then TO imo.
bb1 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Posted August 8, 2018 Meh..i don't get it...if T.O plays and plays well y not? He is big and can supposedly run a sub 4.5? If he is a bust ya cut him. If he is able to come back at 44 good on him.

Vanstone and McCormick, who both write for the Regina Leader-Post, come across as pretty even keeled in their articles. Both easily put Nye and Pederson to shame, but especially the latter. SPuDS 1

Boxers are among the best conditioned athletes when it comes to violent sports. And boxing is more reliant on fast twitch type actions then half the positions in football. He claimed he still ran a 4.4 ish recently. Sure I dont expect him to be crazy fast by any means. How fast is JFG though? We have seen some pretty slow wrs. The point is, his skill level is soo high that if sharp he could easily over come being slow. Nik lewis wasnt fast since he got stuck at the all you can eat buffet for an entire year, but he sure was effective. Im not saying he would be instantly good, or great. Merely that giving him a look is not a bad idea by any means.

Can he take a hit and get back up? Or hold on to the ball? Can he do it for 9 games? I honestly hope the riders sign him, so we can all find out. Because I think he will be a complete joke in the locker room and a bust on the field.

Totally agree. Motivation? Some guys especially the ever prepared types have a harder time now playing then living life. If it isn't that then yeah I can't see why he'd come to the cfl. It might just be a shot at the NFL to go with not going to his hof ceremony.
