That said, while the referee has the final word on all calls, he is not the one throwing most flags. He is responsible only for flags in the offensive backfield, e.g. holding (hardly ever called, but consistent), roughing the passer (called too often, in my opinion, but usually consistent). Calling pass interference or illegal contact on a receiver is definitely not the referee’s responsibility. So don’t go complaining about Proulx on those calls / non-calls. Proulx’s team, perhaps, but not Proulx himself.
This whole thing was started by a guy with 1 post who just joined to have it changed because it confuses him. :roll:
I say deal with it, Russ has been doing the game day threads for years and done a fantastic job of it.
I would appreciate it if Russ continued in his style.
It is an 8 team league, 4 games a week, how confusing can it possibly be!
I agree that in an eight-team league, keeping track of the names should not be that difficult. Literacy and wit are two of the many things oski-oui-oui brings to the table, and we should value them.
Bah humbug. Others of us could say that it’s a pet peeve that so many on this forum don’t want to have a little fun. Come on guys, the thread titles were one thing that made this forum a little less cookie cutter. I for one will look forward to a return to fun titles.
Well said. Totally agree. Even when he switches it up with a new term for a team, it’s really not that confusing.
What really confuses me is the obvious number of people sending private messages to each other complaining about the names of threads. I mean, I haven’t seen any complaints in the threads, so it must be PMs. Right?
And definitely wrong seeing that Arrgh name on the Ticats forum main page.
"I call him Meals on Wheels because, with that speed, he's going to feed a lot of people."
– Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris on wide receiver Dobson Collins, who plays his first game as a Ticat on Friday and should add a downfield threat that's been missing from the Hamilton offence through much of the season.
I'm interested in seeing what he brings to the team tonight, with that speed, a dozen games of CFL experience, and 2 months of practice without playing since his arrival in the Hammer.
