Pete Catan's Ghost

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is the oft maligned tool used for psychiatric diagnosis in North America. Since the most recent edition arrived in 2013, it did not include the relatively rare but geographically significant diagnosis of PMTD. (Post MackTraumatic Disorder). A significant part of the diagnostic criteria includes the inability for sufferers to consider the WBB have any chance to recover from even the slightest adversity within a game. Despite multiple comeback wins this season, and numerous examples for future optimism, sufferers of PMTD are prone to fits of nay-saying and delusional finger pointing (eg. "the refs are out to get us", fire Etch, etc.). However; there is hope fellow PMTD survivors. Cast off that Gold jersey, and self administer a minimum of 18 doses of Willy this season. Your ability to recover from this insidious illness is weighed heavilly by your adherence to this regimen as well as a heavy dose of faith. BTW, Willy should never be taken orally.

Ignited by the heat-ray gaze of Kent Austin when he believed the mechanical room was the one who was beaten for that last touchdown pass.

The Larks will finish second in the East and beat BC in the semis. They will lose to T.O. who will go on to defeat Sask in the Cup. ...That was easy.

One of my favorite players on defence at that time, along with Pete Catan. Good to see his ghost is still around these parts, though I think he is actually still alive. You bring a tear to my eye, sir.

We canteloupe...but honeydew.

I'm gonna go drop a deuce in solidarity with Nick.

Tony Norman was a fairly dominant DE for the Bombers in the early 80s. My girlfriend at the time and his were good friends...I remember crazy, crazy times spent with him and other BB of the era.

Please remember that Gary Lawless citing the "word on the street" does not equal truth by anyone's stretch of the imagination.

Nobody gives it up for returning heroes (see John Chick) like the midori-heads. Familiarity with the system + a very good chance to return to the ($) Cup + exultation of the highest order should be enough...Unless the cash gets very serious, I can't see him going to another CFL team if they are just kicking tires.

Yeah...bid them up, like Dave Hester to Darrel Sheets

Why are the Reebok unis being referred to as tie dies? As awful as these ones are, you don't want to imagine what a true tie die design would look like...especially when being worn by the more portly members of the team.

I love booze snob debates...they are so unwinnable.

Should never have went to that party at Mike Duffy's house.... yeah you have a few drinks and then find out 20 years later you have a daughter in Peru. La Paz Smith....A homely girl, but good hands.

Taman says that although Smith is a "good kid" there is the possibility he could be released. He also says the event that precipitated the suspension happened in Ottawa.

Garcia hitting the field is more absurd than the number of times Michael Bishop or Buck returned to action?....no. It's his age that's in question, not his competence. If he can't cut it in practice; he doesn't play.

I know what we can do...Let's sing! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PqivIejHPVk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This fan never hates an opposing coach unless my team gets beaten by him and he acts like a ****** in victory. ...At this time, there is no hate for Austin from me. Ask other coaches and his own team's fans and you will get a different answer.

He looks like he's trying to decide if he sat in a pie or not Thinkin the Don just made boob-boom in his strides and hasn't realized it yet.

Remind you of someone else ... someone a little closer to home?

Hamilton Spectator Sports Page Headline for August 1: FITZ causes FITS

I think the Cats are susceptible to the long ball and predict a big game from Kelly. ...would be knocked out, to see Fitz more active in the O.

I agree. First impulse is to say JJ, but at least he did his job some of the time. Burke was an apathetic quasi-nice guy who lacked energy and commitment to his team...a Cancer doesn't have to actively subvert , it can be more subtle, like a coach who doesn't trust or lead his charges.

Stop with the East/West imbalance already. Way too much conversation revolving around an imaginary geographic line that separates two divisions. Unfortunately these groups are not equal in number and features one team which moves back and forth over the line with regularity. All that matters is our division...whichever one it is this year.

Israel should launch you at Hamas.

Only 25K for Geroy's glorification @ BCP? Plenty of no shows in the stands at McMaster... I've seen more people lined up at a Tim Horton's This is not good.
