Mike Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Kind of a shocker But I'd get him here ASAP unless he got cut from BC because he's not interested in playing football anymore or something.
Fraser Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 very odd to say the least. Might be that he wants out of football.

Atomic Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 What am I missing? What's so great about Hugh O'Neill?
Mike Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 Well for starters, the feel good story about a homeless man turned professional athlete ... Bomber_fanaddict, WildPath, MOBomberFan and 1 other 4
voodoochylde Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 #FearTheBeard But seriously though .. looking at his raw stats (and I'll readily admit I haven't dug too deeply into this) .. he doesn't seem to offer much more than we have now. Change for the sake of change?
OldSchoolBlue Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Agreed his stats aren't amazing; however if we're bringing in kicking competition, I'd rather it be a young guy with some potential rather than old sandbagger whose stats are as bad and has a history of being difficult as well.

Change for the sake of change? I'd have him do the placekicking for us over Palardy in a second. His kickoff average is substantially better (59.5 compared to 54) and he's got a stronger leg than Palardy for sure. Not to mention, he may be able to push Renaud as well. His punting numbers aren't stellar but I have to excuse at least a bit of that because it seems like he's kicked almost exclusively in a dome while Renaud has had several wind-aided punts to bump up his averages. That's moot without any actual research to support it though.
rebusrankin Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Nothig wrong with bringing in a 23 year old NI kicker for a look.
M.O.A.B. Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 like i said in the other forum.... not oppose against it... as long as he leave his beard in BC
bluto Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Contract issues .... http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=eb897a0a-672e-4fe4-ad56-f53f6b336724 could be that he doesn't want to sign prior to next year's new CBA. i expect to see more of this sort of thing.
Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Well for starters, the feel good story about a homeless man turned professional athlete ... AWESOME! Just think of the Chuck Norrisisims we can make about his beard! "Hughes beard once kicked a field goal......from the locker room!"
Mike Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 YES YES YES YES I feel like I get this reference. If it is a reference.
Jpan85 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 I feel like I get this reference. If it is a reference. You probably got it than!

Noeller Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Would be a huge fan of bringing the kid in. I like Palardy and Renaud, but O'Neill is a gooder, and that beard is something you could build a franchise around. Get 'er done, Mr. Walters!

B-F-F-C Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 To quote Uncle Si "Your beards so stupid it takes it 2 hours to watch 60 minutes!" and "That's a FACT jack"
kelownabomberfan Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 There's got to be a homeless shelter in Winnipeg he could move into so he could feel at home. East Hastings has nothing on downtown Winnipeg Hugh!
Mr. Perfect Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 There's got to be a homeless shelter in Winnipeg he could move into so he could feel at home. East Hastings has nothing on downtown Winnipeg Hugh! I'm sure there's a few suites or houses for rent on Mountain Avenue. All kidding aside, it would be great to have the guy brought in.
