 I’d be stoked to have him coach lbers. Stanley can be shuffled to another spot. We need a reshuffle on some ast coaches bad any way. 

Definitely....Biggie would bring a wealth of experience for the newbies and would be an invaluable assistant....I say he sticks around for a very long time in some capacity....he luvs it in Bomberland

Bighill has been a great player for us but he needs to retire. I agree it would be great to have him as a coach.

With the restrictive front office cap, and the fact you can 6game/ public appearance pay guys out side of the player cap it would actually be extremely advantageous to have a guy like biggie as a “player” coach.

The best thing we can do for Bighill is win the Grey Cup this year so he can retire on top!  Then become an assistant coach.

The early injection of Bryant and Randle early on, started this domino effect of players coming over to this organization and making history. Never did I think we'd ever land a Bighill, the guy has been arguably one of the most important players in team history. Throw him into a coaching capacity, we'd benefit for years to come.

Absolute beauty of an upload by Waders27 on his YouTube page. The 2003 LDC full game - which if I recall correctly is Milt torching Davin Bush all game.

Based on what Milt did to him that game, appropriate last name (i.e., Bush League). 🙂

Unfortunately, my mistake, this is not where Milt lights him up - but still an utter ass kicking all game.

Funny you mention this... I had about 15 mins to kill yesterday and flipped open youtube and came across that... only got about half way through the first but I definitely plan to watch the whole thing!

Sellers scores a TD in that game and does a subtle crotch chop to the Sask crowd.

Haven't seen any thing since this, which is probably good news. His go fund me succeeded in raising the money they were hoping for, plus a little more.

Yeah seems he's doing as well as can be expected.  He did this interview for a podcast a couple months after that  instagram post and gave an update on his health.

Here’s the time he ran all over the Riders.
In the top 5 fun games I’ve attended for sure.
 

30 km winds..nobody could do anything all game except Sellers, until Khari hit Stegall on a TD bomb to win it late in the 4th.

One of the very few games blink missed, it sounded bad right after the game on the coaches show too. Old dave though roberts tore his meniscus. Ended up being turf toe IIRC. 

But man, sellers was like a dad playing his kids pop warner team. Soo fun to watch. It was especially glorious as they were trying to hype up Szarka into being sellers equal back then and it just wasn't close.
