Congrats Blink!!

[Noeller]

...also of note, going in next year: Uzooma Okeke (awesome!), Ben Cahoon, Neil Lumsden (for his CIS work) and some Coach/GM named Wally...

Well deserved. My question is, I believe its a three year wait, so why not 2012? Also when do they induct TY jONES?

Also when do they induct TY jONES?

 

Tyrone Jones was inducted at the ceremony here in 2012 - same year as Milt. There were a number of family members here for the event and his brother Artie represented him at the various ceremonies and dinners.

Can't believe I forgot that. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Great news!

 

Best running back of the 2000s.  Closest one behind him would be Joffery Reynolds.

i always wonder just how good Roberts might have been if he had the same kind of work ethic a guy like Stegall had. 

[Noeller]

...In my mind, he'd be unquestionably the greatest of all time, if he had ANY kind of work ethic.

[rebusrankin]

Charlie was one of the best of all time, no question and that's without working out, proper diet and smoking. Give him Stegall's work ethic and he'd be the CFL Leader in rushing yards.

Totally deserved. One of the best players I've ever seen. Congrats Blink well deserved!

I don't know if there would be a record without Blink's name on it... you gotta wonder if the maturity you get with age has left him with some regrets
