May 30, 201411 yr comment_53019 We only got 4 channels on the rabbit ears - CKND was on Channel 9, CTV on channel 7, CBC English Channel 6 and French channel 3. Then that Fox station started up on channel 12 but it was always pretty fuzzy so hard to watch. And we would wear an onion on our belt, as was the style of the time. And we only had yellow onions, because of the war. Report
May 30, 201411 yr comment_53022 A strong-arm QB is fun to watch.... we haven't had a QB that combines strong arm with an actual ability to play since Khari so it's nice to see a guy with potential.... when we see him play on June 9 his role will start to become more clear... Learning the intricacies of QBing in the CFL takes time. Strong arm or not, a few years holding clipboards helps all QBs. Even Calvillo benefited from stepping back for a couple of seasons. That said, all other things being equal I'd much rather have the QB with the strong accurate arm holding the clipboard than someone who throws weak wobblers. Report
May 30, 201411 yr comment_53023 Ohh the strange tv show for a short time....Natalie Pollock and her brother ... We liked Global but I find now on the 6.00 news they have no sports, we watch more CCTV at 6:00 now. Report
May 30, 201411 yr comment_53024 Yep Joe Pascucci is retiring. I remember when he started on CKND, man I feel old. Me too I remember when you watched CKND on channel 12 and the dial on the TV only went up to 13. I don't think you have to be that old to remember that... I remember those days and I'm still a safe distance from 30... Report

May 30, 201411 yr comment_53031 Yeah, that was MTN. I remember watching Buckley and The Beav growing up. Sadly, Adam Rickner (The Beave) very recently passed away at the ripe old age of 51 Obit Report

May 31, 201411 yr comment_53154 As for the Sun being a paysite, I totally understand why. I think they allow you ten free stories a month. I used to be an avid reader of both papers, then mostly just the Sun, then neither. I can read most of the stories online and get instant, immediate updates with opinions, facts etc via my phone. Who needs a newspaper? Considering you can get the Sun for free from their boxes or on the bus from Monday to Friday, it seems dumb to charge for it on their website. Having said that, this thread sure has gone off topic fast. Report
