My guess is it's filled with s**t.

Yeah, to me it looked like Micah was trying to say Zach took a dive (hence the WTF reaction) rather than being disappointed by what Robertson did.

Have you seen Tony Khan? A good stiff breeze could take him out. As shitty of MMA fighter as Punk was, he would still have zero issues beating khan's ass. The reports are Punk went after him during this incident so yeah I have no doubt he was scared.

Yes but also from the rulebook: *Each team has one challenge per game They had zero challenges available when regulation ended as they had no timeouts. There's nothing in the rules that says the zero becomes one in OT.

They were out of timeouts in regulation and since they couldn't challenge anymore, there was nothing to carry over. Might have been different if they ended regulation with a timeout but they didn't. Just the way I interpret the rules anyway. **Double post**

What does Foxcroft have to do with a game he didn't have a part in? He's in Hamilton getting ready for tomorrow's game. Ben Major was the f**k up for this game.

If Dickenson is able to tie his own shoes, would that qualify as a big performance?

So you want Regina to smell completely different just for the game?

I doubt they want him back. I believe he still has a number of people there who really dislike him. If this was the WCW vs WWE era, I could see it. Both companies would take any chance they got to bury the other but the WWE and AEW don't have that same heated rivalry. That said, it's wrestling so never say never. If they feel there's money to be made, a deal might get done.

While I'm sure that's true, he and his family are actually Ti-Cat fans. He joked that his dad threatened to fire him from their family business if he ever blew a call against Hamilton.

Foxcroft says it's because the league goes from 6 crews to 5 after this weekend. He said he felt it was the right for him to leave rather than have a newer ref sent back to USports when they could use the CFL experience.

Not sure what reports said that but Jones himself said Ford wasn't as good in camp/practice so he hadn't earned a shot yet. “He’s a good player and I’m not trying to be a smartass but that’s the facts, I’m not gonna hide from it. He didn’t come back to camp and he didn’t perform as good as he did a year ago,” Jones told the media in Edmonton. https://3downnation.com/2023/07/18/elks-chris-jones-challenges-canadian-qb-tre-ford-to-play-better-and-opportunity-will-show-up/

New CBA addresses that. A player with more than 3 NFL seasons is no longer stuck with a CFL rookie deal. Henry has 4 seasons so he can sign for whatever. https://3downnation.com/2022/05/26/details-of-the-cfls-new-cba-salary-cap-increases-ratio-changes-and-guaranteed-contracts/

Nope, ECW was first for most of those guys, then they went to WCW. Benoit did work for WCW for a couple months in 1993 before going to ECW in 1994 while Kidman never worked ECW. Benoit, Eddie and Malenko all jumped to WCW at the same time in 1995. Psicosis came/left ECW later that same year. Rey was ECW late 95 to early 96. Jericho & Juventud were both in ECW in 1996. WCW didn't do much with their smaller guys until mid-1996 when Bischoff saw what ECW was doing. He changed the name from the WCW light heavyweight weight division to the cruiserweight division and started signing those guys away. Prior to that, their light heavyweight title had been inactive since 1992. WWE was no different, it wasn't until others had success with guys who weren't the huge guys we were used to seeing, that they realized there was money to be made there.

It's right up there with the Kerwin Bell clip as something that always brings a smile to my face. I can watch those over and over and never get tired of it.

They are close friends - same age and both are from Chicago. "He’s one of my best friends. Like we talk often, even throughout the season. Every off-season, we’re together almost every single day. Our relationship is very good, and it’s been more than just football,” countered Thurman. “The conversations we have, just talking about life, different business opportunities, jobs outside of football when that time possibly comes, but we also enjoy each other’s company and have a lot of fun together.” https://theprovince.com/sports/football/cfl/bc-lions/iron-sharpens-iron-as-friends-collide-in-forge-of-cfl-west-division-semifinal

Should probably meet be this to the wrestling thread but ECW had everything, not just the hardcore stuff. The hardcore stuff definitely differentiated them from other companies but so did bringing in Lucha guys and giving "smaller" guys a chance (Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero for example). They changed wrestling in North America.

He was an ECW OG. He won their championship on their first ever PPV in 1997 at the age of 53. He certainly changed his style as he got older. He had more of a traditional style earlier in his career and went more hardcore as he aged & wasn't able to move as well.

Going 10-3 in the SEC with a Bowl win in his first real season is nothing to sneeze at. It's certainly not as good the year he had the next season but that one would be hard for anyone to match (15-0, national championship, Heisman). Sask did take him off their list before the 2018 names were released so it might not be the worst use of a NL spot I've seen. Hamilton having Jalen Hurts on there, after he had spent 3 seasons shattering records at Alabama might be worse.

He was on their list in Dec 2018, which was at the end of his first year as starter with LSU.
