Pete Catan's Ghost

I forgot about Montreal. Are you able to dig up his 2018 numbers? It's tough to gauge the last 3 years without that stat.

He might physically be able to put a few series together, but for a QB who was notorious for folding with the yips when he was in his prime....well. I don't know of any athlete who becomes less anxious with age.

How many passes has the dude thrown in the past 3 years though? Correct me if I'm wrong but: Wpg- minimal, Sask-50% of snaps, Edm-Zero.

I'm going to toss in the incredibly unpopular choice of Chris Matthews. The "return of the prodigal son" comparison between he and my last year's candidate: Adarius Bowman, puts a knot the size of Matt Sheridan's noggin in my stomach.

Sadly; Route 7 is staying at St. Vital Mall and not moving back to Southdale. I guess I'll have to continue driving through pre-game traffic to take a 5 minute bus ride to the stadium.

Although it can get a bit hazy here in the Ether, I can confirm that there is no one here by the name of Foketi. I will keep my eyes open though.

This is the best news of all. I'll take your camp reports over the media anytime.

I highly endorse cold therapy machines SpeedFlex. If your medical team doesn't suggest using same, ask why not. They reduce swelling, speed recovery, and lessen pain. In Wpg they are available for rent.

Could another "TC" (Tom Canada) be far behind?...Pura Vida!

Depends on ticket price...but leaning towards yes.

Harris may not have practiced, but #33 was a very active observer of drills. Standing at midfield watching the other guys, he looked like somebody who wanted in.

There will be good competition at back-up running back. Oliveira is an extremely angry runner but Augustine is no slouch either. Both broke off long runs today. Difference being...Oliveira will leave marks when you try to tackle him. #17 Mike Jones looked good. He broke up at least two passes. This season; Nichols to Matthews will be like shooting fish in a barrel. His reach can definitely compensate for a QB's inaccuracy. Corey Washington made a beautiful reception on a sideline pass that hung up a little too long and with a DB draped over him. #90 Choudja has a heck of a motor. Darvin dropped nothing. #12 Sean McGuire is a very accurate passer (quick hits-over the middle)

Don't get me started on Corrine...with her puckish grin and ginger bob.

Too bad for him that he doesn't have enough years in the league to be even remotely Canuckish.

No way he is in the running, but I liked Nick Aragki's play in the 80s. He was a big dude in a hybrid TE position and only played for the BB for one or two years (well after his prime with Montreal). He did win the Pate award with us though.

Write in vote for my boy Richard Crump. One three TD game in the '70s has to count for something. Ha.

Drew's rancorous opinion toward the League has softened since he was expelled from the safety of the Ecuadorian embassy.

In '83 I saw the L.A Express at Arizona Wranglers in Sun Devil Stadium. Even without an NFL team at the time, Phoenix drew poorly. Other memories included an interesting rule which allowed the scoring team to go for an optional 2 point convert after a TD. The concession also sold these weird thick chips with melted cheese and sliced hot peppers....I think they were called nachos.

I would shudder when I saw his smarmy face on Sport Centre. He presented as giggly and excessive. I'm glad he's moved to a market where I don't have to watch him. He will fit like a glove.

He did some fine colour commentary for the short lived CFL network and gave an Oscar worthy turn in Raising Arizona.

The same could be said of us last year. You never know who could emerge if the situation calls for it.

My corporeal self

Three year standout for the BB (81-83)...Made 121 career tackles (91 solo) in a total of 41 games... Recorded 38 QB sacks and 7 fumble recoveries...Western All-Star & team defensive MVP in 1982 when he logged 55 tackles (44 solo) & 18 sacks...Selected twice in 82 as Player of the Week...Missed 5 games in '83 due to a knee injury. Started 11 of his 15 games with the Houston Gamblers (USFL) in 1984, missing the team's first-ever game because of contractual obligations with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers... Did not play in weeks 7 and 8 due to a left tricep injury... In 1984 Catan finished second in the USFL with 17 1/2 quarterback sacks and also logged two fumble recoveries.

Having said that......Hanging the nickname "White Zombie" on Jim Daley still makes me smile.
