A post on another thread got me thinking...
As a kid playing football (on the street, the school yard, our field of dreams), I used to pretend I was Steve Stapler (for the life of me, I can't remember why, but that's who it was) or sometimes Rocky.
I tried to think on the current roster, who I would pretend to be if I were a kid in this day and age. Almost always playing the reciever position, Flick would be who I would come up with.
Who would you be?
Cody, of course I was a db in high school and was sort of noted for giving a good lick on guys even though I was, still am actually, a wee bit on the tiny size.
I was always myself.
I figured I was good enough :thup: 
Ozzy.
I wasn't allowed to run because of my (at that time undiagnosed) asthma.
I was always Tom Clements. Well for a few years anyway.
On today's roster I would be Lumsden on offence and Cody on defence. Back in my day I would be Mel Profit on offence and Ed Learn on defence (I knew Learn as a child and was an Argo fan as a result)

Ah yes, typical BC guy with all the confidence now that his team wins. How's the water these days out there? Tasty I've heard. 8)
Then: Tommy Joe Coffey. What a great name!
Now: I would be D.J. Flick on "O" or Tay Cody on "D".
Now? I wanna be Bob Young.

Earl Winfield (Praise Be His Name).

Oski Wee Wee,
Hey black and gold how is life in the Big house ?? Are you starting on the prison team ?? I`ll bet your trying to organize a game against the guards !!!!
When we were playing catch, we usually ended up being the Russ Jackson / Tony Gabriel combination.
Way back when, I would be Bobby Hull. Yup even on the football field.

back back back -- Don Sutherin
Today? Boreham's better older brother.
:lol:Hey Captain- we share our vote. I was always Coffey as a kid (my jersey today). On today's roster.... hmmm, maybe Morreale.
(Oh, in hockey I was Orland Kurtenbach... anyone out there remember him?)
You all need to get a bloody life!
Who else but Bobby Orr!...sheesh!
