Yes - some other examples in the past - Benefield played for the 49ers for a year - a CFL rush end who was a linebacker but also more a special teams guy down there; Fred Perry made an NFL roster for a bit after having a great year on the Argos D - another quick CFL rush end type. So Wilson could s...

My other pet peeve is the guy calling a sports talk show from Langley gushing about the NFL and using pet names for American cities like "T-Bay," "Minny," and "Cinci" (Cincinnati). :roll: I'm thinking, like, "dude - why don't you just quit with the fawning and jus...

I'm not a golfer but the closest parallel in team sports to a golfer lining up a putt is a baketball player lining up a free throw. For a player like Steve Nash to shoot 90% from the foul line, with the game often on the line and spectators whistling and waving their arms in his line of sight, is a...

There are huge differences between team sports in an arena or stadium environment like hockey, football, baseball and basketball are played versus individual sports such as golf, tennis and others mentioned. In golf there is little ambient noise. The golfer addressing his shot is concentrating on on...

Back to the original topic of this thread I've been a Colts fans since long before they backed the moving vans up to Memorial Stadium and snuck out of Baltimore under the cover of darkness. Why Colts? I'm not sure. Might have been something as simple as the horseshoe on the helmet given my grandpare...

Rumour-mongering. The odds of Thelwell being back have been at best 50/50 for quite some time. He himself acknowledged that well before the Grey Cup and well before the departure of Chapdelaine. Look for him to take Hwy 1 all the way to Ontario as opposed to Hwy 5 towards Edmonton. As for Clermont t...

Regina would have been wiser to hire Ritchie as Head Coach and Austin as offensive coordinator and Associate Head Coach. Austin could have learned some from the experience and then transitioned in as the Head Coach in a couple of seasons. Tillman has made a risky decision..especially when it's obvi...

:rockin: Good news for us Lions fans.. we keep Dave Ritchie... Personally I was never too concerned about Ritchie departing. I thought he was a longshot for the Regina job or at best Plan B for Tillman if he couldn't come to agreement with Austin. Tillman has long had relationships with both Ritchi...

Seems like Feb 15 will be an important day as it will be the deadline. Is some action more likely to happen before the February 15 deadline or after February 15? Does Casey have Feb 15 circled on his calendar as the day he will make a decision? February 15 is free agency day when players currently ...

Methinks you're going a bit overboard on the conspiracy theory there Toppy. I can't see any need for skullduggery. With Buck being re-signed for 2 years and BC still holding the keys to Dickenson's option year the Argos know Printers isn't in BC's plans for 2007. They also know with only 2-1/2 month...

Williams will be 34 next month and Thelwell will be 34 before next season starts. Floyd will turn 31 as the 2007 TC wraps up. Age will become a big factor. The players will be basing salary demands on past performance. Understandably under the SMS Buono will be having to think in terms of what can t...

Its easy to misjudge quickness for fear

It's easy to tell the difference. Quickness you see, fear carries a distinct odor.

And then there's the tragic story of Ernie Pitts: Thursday, November 13, 1997 The game can rip your heart out By JIM TAYLOR -- Sun Media VANCOUVER -- The talk was of Grey Cups and classic football goof-ups, of defeats snatched from the jaws of victory, of near-misses and heartbreak and the way the b...

Rather silly question if you ask me. ALL sporting events are better live than on TV. what about watching something like a triathalon or ironman contest??? I knew I shoulda qualified that. Then again watching the swim portion of the Penticton Ironman from an Okanagan beach in August can't be all tha...
