Oh ya, hard pass on Condell -- the dual GC loser of '19 and '21.  He might get you to the cup, but he'll choke in the big game.

That 21 game was as close as you can get. I don't blame Condell for a "choke". An inch here or there was the difference. It was our defense at it's best and we got all we could handle that day.

I forgot to mention... Montrealers smoke a lot of weed.  Weed smell everywhere outside always.  Downtown: everywhere.  Walking through residential to the stadium: everywhere.  In the game: everywhere.  Leaving the game: everywhere.  Crazy!  Cops everywhere for the cup and no one cares!

It's like when I stayed in Brantford for the HAM GC.  We discovered every single person in Brantford smokes cigs.

The things you learn following your team around the country for the big games!

Uh, didn't we all learn our lesson about not trusting the pundits?  Remember how they swore MOS was gonzo to TOR?

our head coach has "choked" in the big game as well.

i would prefer Miller to Condell but that is just me

There were 2 Greg Marshall's coaching in the CFL. One (dlineman ) is currently with the Argos, the other  (running back) is HC of the Western Mustangs.

The MLS is the best soccer league in North America. The league the Valour played in, is several levels below. It would be like comparing the league the Goldeyes play in, with the MLB.

Oh, I didn't know that.  I thought all this Canada soccer was all in the same league.  I would have never dreamed that Canada could support 1 soccer leagues, let alone 2!  I guess that explains why the Whitecaps had more sales and better pricing power.

What a totally CFL thing to happen.

Our OC and STC both named Mike Miller?

And when '19 and '21 cups had Mike Jones covering Mike Jones?

The moral of the story: DON'T NAME YOUR KIDS MIKE!  Voila, problem solved.

Keon Hatcher expects big raise, can BC afford him??

He deserves it.  If I was forced to pick right now between Kenny and Keon at the same price... I might go with Keon.  Keon is more versatile and can take more punishment.  Kenny has slightly better hands and more circus.  But as we saw, circus won't always win you games.

I don't see how BC can afford McInnis AND Keon though.  McInnis didn't earn his huge $ this season.  Trade him away and sign Keon.  Some team in ratio heck will do it.

My new philosophy for WFC is no overpriced RECs -- so I don't want him.  Spend all the $ on OL -- that's the key to winning.  BC OL almost lost the WSF because of porous OL, then they lost the WDF partially because of it.  Having 2 superstar RECs didn't help Rourke much when he didn't have time to throw.

Pretty clear every team spent to the max and some likely went over, no carry over so no sense hanging onto it for next year. Walters said himself

I think it's a KW bluff.  I seriously doubt we spent to the +$400k cap -- even with the extra 1GIR usage.  And if we did then it's almost criminal that we overspent on mediocre players.

My bet is KW was $200k away from original cap, then spent ~$200k on 1GIR, and thus has the whole +$400k left to dole out to pre-2026 re-signings.  Assuming he now believes that the $400k is FOR REALZ.
