HOF Profile: Cromartie
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:45 pm
Alright. Time to upgrade this bad boy.
Position: Center
Favourite CFL team: British Columbia Lions
Why are they your favourite team: In the early 80s, all ESPN used to show were CFL games. As such, we all more or less picked a team. All of my friends grew up and moved on, I've loved the game ever since. Less Browne too. I met him once while he was a Lion. Classy guy.
If you were abducted by Super Models and forced to cheer for another team who would it be: Toronto Argonauts
Other Favourite Sports teams: NHL - Detroit Red Wings, NBA - Detroit Pistons, IPL - Mumbai Indians.
Favourite CFL stadium: Molson. Defines the word atmosphere
Favourite BC Lion: Nick Moore, or anyone on the club that attended my Alma Mater - The University of Toledo
Favourite former BC Lion: Jamie Taras
Favourite Food: Bison Ribs
Favourite Bar: Hop City in Birmingham, AL. 40 craft beers on tap with an entire store full of beer and wine to boot.
Favourite Beer: None, since I don't drink anymore
Favourite Alcoholic Beverage: None, as I don't drink anymore
Favourite Non Alcoholic Bevy: Iced Tea from Starbucks.
Favourite Tunes: Hundreds, don't even know where to start.
Favourite Movie: The Adjustment Bureau
Hobbies: NFL Fantasy football, non-fiction reading, billiards, hitting in a batting cage, travel
Favourite BC Lion Memory: You cannot beat watching the Lions win a Grey Cup in person, which I had the honor of doing in 2006. The 51-4 thrashing of the Argos in Toronto is another one. (8/24/2000)
Best Grey Cup Host City: Is Ottawa better than Winnipeg? Yes. But the Lions won in Winnipeg so they get the nod.
My dream vacation is: Nothing. Life has sucked every last dream out of me.
Favourite CFL uniform: Argos Home from the late 1990s-early 200s. The Argos logo wass the best in professional sports.
Strangest things seen at game: Was at a Detroit Lions game when their middle linebacker (Reggie Brown) swallowed his mouthpiece, had a seizure, and more or less died on the field. 80,000 people in a stadium - not one of them said a word. To hear a gathering of 80,000 fans at a stadium go absolutely still is bizarre. After about five minutes, my friend turned to me and said: "He's dead." And he would have been, had a physician with experimental drugs for curbing seizures not been at the game, and on the sidelines at the time.
Words you live by: Never ask someone to do something you aren't prepared to do yourself.
