Re: Top Underrated Sports Moments/Teams/Athletes

The 1999 Vancouver Canadians weren't underrated at all. In fact, they were overrated. They left because no one was sitting their butts in the seats, and they had a 100 times better offer in Sacramento. Triple-A will be back here within 10 years, but the fact more people are - 9 years later - going ...

I agree that either Taffe has his foot halfout the door either by his choice or by Obie.

Re: Reggie Hunt One of the Few to Choose the the Als

The Alouettes franchise is looking like the Foreign Legion. It does not seem to be first choice for any of the free agents. Popp better get Reggie Hunt's signature on the bottom line before a better offer comes along. It looks like this deal will be completed. It is surprising how fast and how far ...

For a one year wonder guy, he had lots of potential and did a better than average job during his service.
Especially if you recall Matt Kellett and D O'M.
It's blasphemy to speak of that name.

Re: Official 2007-08 Vancouver Canucks Season Thread

I don't feel any deals will be made by the Canucks as they don't want to mortage the future for a guy who'll play 20 games and then leave.

Re: The greatest sports moments

The other was a baseball catch that occurred here in Vancouver, IIRC. There was a long outfield shot where the outfielder crashed through the outfield fence. I'm pretty sure he hung on to the catch and it was highlight material for sure. Does anyone else remember the catch I'm talking about and doe...

Re: Sheridan re-signs with Blue Bombers

Stegall must have taken one helluva salary cut to give Taman the SMS room.........or.........the SMS is no different than any other attempt at a salary cap (ie finding all possible side deals is pretty well impossible). For clarification, this applies to ALL teams. Stegall did in fact take a cut in...

Re: Reggie Hunt Signs with the Als

While everyone else is jumping out of the Als sinking boat, Hunt jumps on to start bailing water out with a nice check in his pocket.
