Also a few reports of misbehaviour in college with the Oregon Ducks. These are issues Walters should have been aware of before signing him.

I didn't even read the headline - I just saw the picture, went "holy ####", and started reading the articles and looking at the source to see if it was legit....
Looks like I scooped John Hodge by at least a few hours. Why am I not getting paid ? LOL...
Quote from: theaardvark on November 27, 2025, 07:04:15 PMEvery CFL stadium will have an identical field. 15 yard deep EZ doesn't happen without the goal post moves. Loss of a 55 yard line when you make FG's 15 yards deeper makes sense.
They all fit together. I can see it making the game better, higher scoring and faster. I cannot see it making anything worse, except losing the nostalgia of C or 55 on the field, many times in a different font than the rest of the field... and of course, the offensive play "doink" / goal post rub plays.

I named my daughter Mary 28 years ago, and she has zero contemporaries named Mary...

Quote from: Tecno on November 27, 2025, 06:12:02 AMNo, it varies. I'm not sure how the 3X teams are picked each year. Maybe it's whatever fits into the schedule the best (i.e. semi-random).
What I would like to see is the league make sure that the 3X teams games are space out a ton (per team). Our 3X SSK and CGY games last season were all within like a month -- it doesn't allow you to "get lucky" getting a team when they suck as well as when they are good. We got CGY when they were great instead of later in the season when they sucked -- one of those games should have been late season to even things out.
I don't! Load me up with weak teams in reg season please! Worry about the good teams come post-season. SSK scored a ton of wins against weaker teams in '25, and got good teams when they were at their weakest. Sometimes you have to be lucky to be good.
