I think they both have potential. I’ll still take Glenn though as I think he has the tools but lacks in experience and still makes rookie mistakes. He has the smarts to learn from them and become one of the elite. Some games last season he looked like a season vet but tailed off at the end when the Bombers were playing for nothing by Labour Day. Joseph has been a starter longer and IMO hasn’t really gotten any better since he became the main man for Ottawa. He’s older too so he should be in his prime right now. He’s got a very strong arm and has the ability to run but that usually becomes a real risk for injury.

I found this while reading over the phinsheaven.com Ricky thread, a BANG cartoon featuring Ricky Williams joining the CFL:

Enjoy!

P.S.:Michael J. Fox was wrong about the Ti-Cats’ Grey Cup total!

My apologies if this is in the wrong place, or if this information can be found elsewhere.

I was surfing the Internet and ran across these scores from CFL/NFL exhibition games.

I found this incredibly interesting, and have a couple of questions. First, the games listed above came from NFL.com, a list of NFL games played outside the United States. Does anyone know if there were any NFL vs. CFL games held in the United States?

Second, according to Wikipedia, the games were played with a mixture of rules. Does anyone know anything about what rules were used?

Finally, does anyone know if the CFL has ever held any exhibitions with other orginizations (post-1950)?

Thanks for any help with any of this.

Did anyone catch George Gross’ barf-inducing strokejob of MLSEL President Larry Tanenbaum on Sunday? Larry let this appetizing little bon mot slip out:

So if Godfrey/Rogers and Tanenbaum join forces in an NFL bid, doesn’t it increase their chances of success, instead of one of them going alone?

In other words, it may be time to start worrying about the future of the CFL again. Those 2 together could undoubtedly come up with the $1B they would need to get started. I bet the plan has something to do with the new exhibition stadium for soccer, expandability plans.

Toronto Star - We have to have another guy in here. We’ve already lost a day. We can’t go into the game with just two guys.’ Ken Austin , offensive co-ordinator, on Friday’s game at Winnipeg Blue Bombers

A nice jersey in a deep shade of red, perhaps, say one like the Canes & Stamps wear

I feel pretty good today, can’t quite put my finger on why, but I’m guessing this satisfaction will last a long long time
