Re: Montreal vs BC Game Day Stats

Outstanding effort by the team today. Its nice to finally see the offense get things on-track, and fire on all cylinders. I love the balanced attack. The running game by committee with Harris/Brown up the middle, and then Gore/Bruce/Jackson/etc. on the end-arounds is superb when they can execute it ...

Re: Lions 39 - TiCats 36 Post Game Stats and Comments

I think I agree with BCFan. When I was watching on TV, it certainly looked like the empty seats are in the end-zones and the corners instead of behind the benches. If ticket prices were the problem shouldn't the expensive mid-field seats be a little emptier, and shouldn't the cheaper end-zone and co...

Re: Mike Benevides Show - TEAM1040

I've always been a Moj fan as his shows are packed with guests and he doesn't just blather. Mike Benevides is a good interview always which is remarkable for a first year HC as they often lack the experience. I find Moj interesting when he's talking football, otherwise its "meh". Oh yeah....

Re: Mike Benevides Show - TEAM1040

I heard tonight's show. I thought it was pretty good. I loved Benny's answer about training camp and preparation vs. evaluation in terms of getting ready for the season. His remark about having 26 practices and 10 two-a-days (I believe?) to evaluate seemed like one of those comments that seems like ...

Re: OJ Brigance Dealing with ALS

I loved O.J. Brigance. He was one of Obie's best recruits. I was just a kid (12 yrs old), but I still remember being pissed the Lions lost him to the Baltimore Stallions. Its heart-breaking to see him with ALS. If he had spent more time with the Lions, I'd say put him on the wall of fame, but he onl...

Re: Ricky Ray to the Argos - How the deal went down ...

Campbell: Edmonton's blockbuster QB trade December 13, 2011 It’s the biggest trade Eskimos fans have seen since 1992 when quarterback Tracy Ham was traded to Toronto as part of an eight-for-eight deal. The news of the trade lit up the phones lines on 630 CHED here in Edmonton, the message boards, a...

Re: Did the CFL go to far to boost Argos?

CFL teams are all independently owned enterprises and unless you have some evidence other than "theories" about a conspiracy to "strong arm" the Esks of their starting QB...this thread is ridiculous and should be moved to the joke section. :clown: Agreed. Although, sadly this so...

Re: Did the CFL go to far to boost Argos?

That's a serious shot at the credibility of the CFL, which as gone a long way to building a credible name over the last 10-15 years. I generally don't like this kind of what-if. Do you really see Mark Cohon pushing the Eskimos into trading a franchise QB? I realize the Argonauts are weak, but this i...

That is undeniable. He was stubborn to the point of nearly getting himself fired.

Re: Ricky Ray to Toronto

I don't know what the league is planning for its opening week/Canada Day schedule but they should definitely consider this doubleheader: Tor @ Edm Wpg @ BC I think it would kick things off with a bang to have Ricky Ray return to Edm right out of the gate and then to follow it up with a Grey Cup rem...

Re: Say Goodbye to Chapball?

Good for Jacques. If he accepts the position I wish him the best of luck. If he doesn't, I'll be happy to have him back as O.C., assuming that "Jacques Ball" continues next season and we don't return to "Chap Ball".

Re: Worst kept Secret.... Benevedes.....Coach

I'm excited!! I'm ready for the 2012 season to start right now. I don't think that fashion taste is the only similarity between Belichick and Benevides. :wink:
