Matty "Barbeque" Dunigan

Doug "Flutie Flakes" Flutie - This was when he went back to the NFL after his CFL stint, but I'm grandfathering this in for the CFL as he is one the best players ever to be in our league!

Former Stamps Mike Palumbo, Tony Spoletini and Tony's cousin Tom Spoletini. Started the famous sausage chain Spolumbo's in Calgary after they all retired from the Stamps. Going strong today still after 30 years! "You like it da pizza, pasta or Italian sausage? Make us an offer we can't refuse! I want a Cannoli"

Julius Caesar Watts Jr - QB with Ottawa in the early 80's. Almost upset the Eskimos in 1981 GC which would have been the biggest upset in Grey Cup history! Tony Gabriel shafted on a DUAL pass interference call late in the game after a big long yardage catch puts Ottawa in field goal range and could go up by 3 or 6 points. Hated those late 70's-early 80's Edmonton teams with a passion as prevented Bombers from a few Cup appearances in the early 80's. Bombers also shafted in 1980 western final with a VERY iffy roughing the passer call on John Helton vs Warren Moon late in the game. Game was still tied then and Edmonton kicks winning field goal with little time left. Another shaft job two years in a row that favours Edmonton and tricky dicky Edmonton GM Norm Kimball!

Lester "Rubber Duck" Brown - QB prospect of Riders in 1980, but flamed out

Haha, that one's a stretch!

If we're doing weird nicknames, etc, then add in Cody "Jesus Sprinkles" Fajardo.  We need some desserts on the team
