His name is Crazy P (not Pete). As far as I'm concerned, if someone wants to get up and lead cheers and show his support - I'm all for it. He's showing team spirit and getting the fans involved. I'd much rather see fans who have a positive, fun attitude like that than negative cowards, who just crit...

I voted for Jake Gaudar, but admittedly the fact that he was commissioner for 16 years and during a time of relative stability were the main reasons. Unfortunately those who followed him, took the job when there was less public support for the CFL, so their work was likely overshadowed by fears of t...

Actually, BC Place's floorspace wasn't quite large enough for a Canadian Football field when it was built. At that time (1983), the end zones in Canadian football were 25 yards deep. The floor at BC Place was only large enough to accomodate 20 yard end zones. In 1986, the rules were changed, reducin...

I am very sorry to hear of Sonny Homer's passing. It's funny, just this afternoon I was watching a tape of that '64 Grey Cup game in which he played with the injured ribs and one kidney. That's real dedication. He will be greatly missed and my deepest condolences go out to his family. Dick Fouts, By...
