  1. Sad news...2016 strikes again....one of the all time good ones.... KAMLOOPS — Former BC Lion defensive lineman Rick Klassen has died at the age of 57 following a battle with cancer. Klassen played ten seasons in the Canadian Football League, nine with the BC Lions, winning a Grey Cup in 1985, and one season with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders. Klassen is on the BC Lions All-Time Dream Team and also on the BC Lions Wall of Fame. Rick Klassen's son Chad is a video journalist with CFJC-TV.
  2. That OF does not exactly strike fear...thats why Blackmon would be ideal.
  3. Must be something that you can sing so well you can chew gum at the same time..
  4. I agree about Biggie..a little small I think...the 3 Bs in NY...going to be tough to lose them and Leone in Arizona I think..he will make it on his punting alone.
  5. I wouldnt mind at all...I liked him when he was a Jay and was shocked when he was traded,,he is a solid leadoff guy who can steal bases and hit for average and only 28 and could platoon with Upton in LF...last year was an off year and he only played 100 games...whats not to like...its whether the management wants to bring him back or not.
  6. The BC Lions have released All-Star Adam Bighill to pursue NFL opportunities, the team announced Friday. The release is part of a contractual agreement between Bighill and the Lions with Bighill agreeing to return to the Lions if he doesn't sign south of the border. “We have an agreement in place with Adam which allows him to seek out potential NFL opportunities between now and January 27, 2017," Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono said in a team release. "If he is not signed by an NFL team during this period, he has agreed to return to the Lions." “I am grateful for the club’s understanding that as a professional football player, father and husband, I want to maximize my career potential," Bighill said in the release. "I want to make it very clear to our incredible fans however, that I love being a BC Lion and if nothing comes to fruition in the NFL, I will be ecstatic to return to the club.”
  7. Boy...I havent heard that one in a while...great tune....thanks
  8. I agree...we would have a true lead off guy in Fowler...he could really set the table....Morales ..a true DH and pearce at first......hearing that the Jays are hard onto Blackmon...so who knows.
  9. Greg Lake of Emerson..Lake and Palmer dies at 69..

     

    Greg Lake, who fronted both King Crimson and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died aged 69.

    One of the founding fathers of progressive rock, the British musician is known for songs including In the Court of the Crimson King and his solo hit I Believe in Father Christmas.

    He died on Wednesday after "a long and stubborn battle with cancer", said his manager.

    The news comes nine months after Lake's band-mate Keith Emerson died.

    Keyboardist Emerson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, coroners in the US said.

      Is it just me, or has 2016 been a real downer as far as the music world is concerned?

      a total downer

  10. Now we hear the Jays are still talking to Kinzer about EE and keeping tabs...
  11. There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig. "Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears. "Come on, man" the biker says "I didn't think you'd cry! I can't stand to see a man crying". "This is the worst day of my life" I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man... and then my dog bit me". "So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all. I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing! But, hell, enough about me, how are you doing?"
  12. well to each his own bro....he is perfect for Rogers so thats all that needs to be said.
  13. There is no doubt in my mind Shapiro was brought in to play moneyball and lay out the Cleveland model...anyone thinking otherwise is fooling themselves..Im not to upset about losing EE and Bats..kinda saw that coming all last season but they need to have some valid replacements..if Stroman can bring us a top line player or ywo..I would be all for is...I also heard that Hutchison is out there and rumblings that he could be brought in for the pen.
  14. Cardinals and Giants are in hard on Fowler....the way things are going they will probably resign Saunders...there is a plethora of OFs.
  15. its called lowball moneyball...they are still in on Fowler..if they get him I wont feel as bad....him or Revere...
  16. Phillips is now saying that judging by Shapiros comments today...he feels that the Jays are out on both EE and JB.
  17. If Bats comes back I hope its only 2 years and he is on a short leash...he has to learn to shut his mouth...smile a bit and play ball..no wonder no one wants to sign him...he comes across as such a miserable s%$t.....I thought it would be EE coming back and Bats walking..its looking like just the reverse.
  18. and JB had an off year for his standards..he was hurt much of the year with lots of turmoil...the Odor incident...mouthing off alot...he is better than he showed when healthy...he could come back with a solid year hit for average like he can and up his HRs....he pisses me off ..but he is a good player.
  19. Some very unhappy Jays fans after the Sox traded for Sale and the Jays sign Pearce.... https://ca.yahoo.com/sports/news/angry-jays-fans-take-to-twitter-after-red-sox-trade-for-chris-sale-191049027.html
