Calgary Suckage

[bearpants]

I obviously mean no disrespect to the late Mrs Reilly… but did she really named her son Michael and expect that no one would ever call him Mike?

[TBURGESS]

Every time I hear Michael Reilly, I hear Mike O'Reilly.

Well we named our youngest Michael knowing we will never call him Mike. 

[MOBomberFan]

The only people that call me Michael are my parents. It's Mike to literally everyone else, and I prefer it that way

Ya but you're a pretentious ******..... And it's Artie anyhow.....

When my mom used my full name, it meant that **** had just gotten real. 

Michael must've grown up with a less angry mom.

Mom would usually add my middle name when it was time for my hide to get a tanning. Made me feel like royalty a bit

Oh yeah, middle name meant that death and hell were on the march into my life.

I don't have a middle name- my parents were too poor.

Dickenson starts Jake Maier at QB for Stamps rather than CDN Michael O'Connor because, you know, deep down he hates "f***ing Canadians" ...

Haha. 

Actually, Marshall Ferguson provided a bit of theory on why they're starting Maier over O'Connor yesterday on Winnipeg Sports Talk. I would say it's a bit of stretch of a theory but you can tell Marshall did his homework. Basically, O'Connor doesn't show any emotion and he suspects they're worried what will happen to the team if they fall behind at home and the crowd starts booing. Thinks the team needs an emotional boost. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If being emotional helps you win, how come this guy has zero championship rings?

What terrible reason for not starting someone.  Guarantee O'Connor will have to come in and save the day.  6'4, 230lbs, arm strength, accuracy and can read a 12 man defense, but let's start the more mobile guy.

Here's to the Calgary suckage continuing all year long.
