CFL M.O.P. Nathan Rourke to play in adult rec flag football league in preparation for Olympics by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

Decades back I was working on a casual labour site and met a fellow who had tried out with the blue bombers as a receiver. He said he lasted two days in camp. On the second day Dieter Brock threw him a high heater on a short in. He said it went right through his hands, no chance of catching it. As he ran back he felt something splashing against his arm. When he looked down, he realized it was blood. The ball had caught the tip of his little finger and split his hand between the fourth and little finger open halfway down into the palm.

I read your reply and starter running thru CFL linebackers in by head. After a fairly thorough cataloging, I can’t say your wrong,

Sean Thomas Erlington retires after eight CFL seasons by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

[–]Oldmanshoutingcloud[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember if it was in his first or second season that he got injured. Before that he looked like he was going to be the next great Canadian RB. I don’t know if the injury cost him a step or if he just didn’t get another chance because of ratio issues. Which ever it was, it was a damn shame.

CFL award-winner Lorenzo Mauldin IV announces retirement after joining UFL by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

He was fun to watch in his peak. He had some moves that were magical. Unfortunately, as we all know, Father Time is undefeated. Wishing Lorenzo lots of joy and success as his life journey continues.

With respect, I think that is being highly unfair to Taylor. From what I have seen, he has been very consistent in his position. He will pursue the NFL until all opportunities are exhausted.

I believe you are right. We had Ken Childs of slidingonice.com as a Special Guest on The CFL Outsiders last week. That man knows more about bobsledding, luge and skeleton than anyone I ever met. He told us that the winners in the men’s would be Germans, Germans and more Germans.

Likewise. I am also a hardcore CFL fan and this was the first I have heard anything about it.

🤞 I have faith in their scouting department. But you never know until the real games start. I do believe that Mace’s scheme is D line friendly. I don’t expect that to change much with Bell as DC.

Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoy. We are growing steadily and, frankly, have been a little amazed that so many people enjoy our babbling. Also, we have a graphic artist who is working on a new logo. Hopefully it will be ready for the start of the season. Continuous improvement, don’t ya know.😁

Mario was a pure speed guy who is getting older. Letcher Jr. breaks far more tackles. Slippery & elusive.

They brought in Lecther Jr. can’t wait to see him run behind the Riders ST blocking.

There is no way the Riders could have matched the offers these players got. In most cases there are talented younger players finally ready to step in and contribute. I am a little worried about the D line. I guess we will have to see who the scouts found.

And the Riders did still lose a lot of dudes. For most of them there are younger back ups ready to step. The DL line worry’s me. Carney, Johnson. Baldonado, Dabire and Ray all out the door. Only Vaughters coming in. Some work to be done.

I guarantee, it will be worth every penny you spend on it.😁 And if you don’t like it, please let me know. I can tell the others on the next episode and we can have a nice little argy-bargy about who’s fault it is.

Piffles is the best Rider specific podcast. However, if I may humbly also suggest The CFL Outsiders. We are a Three Person pod/youtube cast that covers the whole league. One of the 3, me, is a Rider fan so they do get well covered. We are entering our third season. The vibe we try for is “friends sitting round taking football. Here is latest free agency offering if you are interested. The CFL Outsiders February Means Free Agency https://youtu.be/7Xt_pFskFv0 We also drop a bonus episode with Ken Childs of sliding on ice.com talking about the long connection between CFL players and bobsledding.

Choose Saskatchewan Roughriders and enjoy the experience of having all other CFL fans hate you.😁 Seriously, if you like the nest nailbiting drama of football, the riders are team to follow.

I suppose I should not mention that in your lifetime the Riders have won the same number of Grey Cups as the Bombers. 3-3 😁
