Pete Catan's Ghost

Does no one remember the angst that Charles Nelson caused on this board?

You only need to take a look at the John Deere logo to see how similarly bad the antler look is.

Just don’t bring your semi. They’re a little testy about those things these days.

Hearing that it's between us and Elks for Castillo. Sergio only has to look to last season to see how well it worked out for him here on a short term contract with release clause, if he intends on trying the show again next year. Who would you rather trust in a handshake deal, Walters or Jones?

You won't have to wait that long. His first game on air will be May 23.

I wish him good luck and longevity. I’m not interested in panning him until I hear him on the job. He’s no rookie, so he should hit the ground running.

Because he is incentivized by interceptions he will go for the pick more often than the safer knock down. I can see him being beaten a lot.

I’ve heard Ball’s show. I’ll defer to Noeller here, but I’m guessing there are two distinctly different skill sets to show host vs. PBP. Having said that, he is podunk horrible.

I feel that both Mackling and Taylor (especially Mackling) don't have the capacity for restraint. I'm all for enthusiasm, but when Bob called a game, you knew it was a great play when he got excited. These guys are excited all the time.

We’ve got Reverend ‘Sheed in the room. There will be no shortage of vocal leaders on the offensive side.

Don't forget, we got by with Hecht at safety. I'm confident we will keep the bed warm for BA until he returns. Whether with a Hallet or someone else. Another Canadian depth guys no one talks about is Tanner Cadwallader. He had plenty of meaningful reps over the course of the season, including the GC. Cadwallader, Hallet x 2, Kolenkowski, Kramedi and others, are all Canadian guys that have sipped from the cup. Championship experience is an intangible that a lot of players don't have.

If we can’t have him, at least let BC/Elks bid each other up.

Free agency starts tomorrow, it doesn’t end tomorrow. I can see Darvin being signed after the dust settles.

OK, I'll bite. Why not?

He's already spent time with the Vikings, so who knows. I remember hearing Ron Rivera say good things about him when he coached him with the Panthers but he's with Wash. now.

Since we're spit-balling receivers, Brandon Zylstra's contract with Carolina should be up soon. He's another Minnesota product that would look good in Royal blue.

I feel dirty arguing this with you because, more than anything, I want him to be the 2017 -2019 model. With his age, last season’s overall performance, and other uses for his $, I think we move on. But if we find a way to sign him, I won’t be sad.

People didn't want Eaton's torn down for a new arena either. I love what AH has brought to this team and our two GC, but emotions have to be removed from the situation. Bad optics are a fleeting thing, especially when we are kicking Rider ass around the block this season.

His wife is comedian Sarah Colonna. She’s pretty funny and definitely edgy. She had my attention when she did a bit on shower sex.

Putting aside the $, the 2 yr offer could work against BC, because that would lock him in and not allow him another shot at the NFL next season. I can totally see us as players for his services if Walters includes a Kongbo clause.

If we are to buy into the rumours that the BB are interested in Streveler (at non starter $), I would think that signing Woli wouldn’t be a bad enticement.

Burnham looked disgusted during the drubbing they took from us last season. Now with Reilly and his salary gone, he could potentially be offered a raise by the Lions but face an even worse future.

Two HOF locks signed in one week. Let that sink in.

Eli, Masoli and others are placing their hopes on the belief that restrictions will magically disappear. They are so staunch in their anti-vax stance, that is the slim straw they hang on to.

Now that’s catchy!
