I hope he sticks for his sake and so that he's a non-CFL issue. I think Printers recognizes the CFL-game is probably a better fit for his talents. I really like how he put it after a close loss in Montreal last year, IIRC. Something along the lines of 'you've got a great game up here and it's a ple...

Actually that is every players dream. One of the sad aspects of the CFL game is that nobody really wants to be here if given the option. No need to be sad as this statement is so far off base it is laughable. The vast majority of CFL players are happily playing in Canada both now and in the past. N...

Without commenting on the looks of either group or even trying to make a comparison let me say this about the Felions and I have seen a lot of games over the years. These young women to me are terrifically talented and entertaining and whatever they do is always first class for the fans. Their prese...

Terry Bailey was a FB and a grad of SFU's football program back in the early 70s when every CFL telecast would have announcers saying SFU many times per game. I recall Hugh Campbell then coach of Whitworth saying that Terry Bailey and the TB Glen Colwell were the best two-back combo in small college...

First off, this is a bit hypothetical as Casey doesn't strike me as a guy who will give up on the NFL too easily. If you look at his statements when he signed for the NFL he made it abundantly clear that he was going to give the NFL a good shot and he really didn't want to be with a CFL team that wa...

Re: Top Ten from one hundred games

6. Summer 2003: the Calgary Stampeders' first post-Buono trip to BC Place. The Lions thumped the hapless visitors to the tune of 48-4, a pasting which included a late TD drive led by then-3rd string QB and future league MVP Casey Printers. This night will be remembered by many of the faithful on he...

Too sad that it missed North Vancouver's Sonny Homer so tragically before this occurred. It is always a good thing to honour your past - I know from going to the Winnipeg - BC game last year in the 'peg that they certainly. Like they all said "once a Bomber, always a Bomber". That is one t...

Very sad news. I like the way you capture the action shots. As much as I appreciate any and all photos of games, training etc there are some that are head and shoulders over most and Photog's were all of that and more!

Where's the petition to Bobby Ackles?

Thanks for posting that Yank... nice thought. I had the pleasure of seeing a lot of Sonny around North Vancouver as a young person - some many years ago - as he dated a friend of mines sister from just up the street from me on east 13th and he used to drop by the pool hall at 15th and Lonsdale where...

Lionut - do they pay you to do that research as in this part of your professional work? Intelligence gathering. Maybe you should spend some of that time reading my filings on ICBC.

MacNews -

Would you care to share with us what health system you are advocating as better than Canada? Please name a few and educate us ignorant welfare bums.

What would you eliminate to change Canada from a "northern welfare state"?

Ok, so I got it sort of wrong Macnews. I stand corrected. I think it's really great that someone so young is so certain and sure of his beliefs and views on something as important as our country and it's leaders. I know that many other Canadians of all political views and backgrounds struggle with t...
