Maybe instead of the Elks as their new name they should have called themselves the Whelks, because they look like snails out there these days.
Wish Vic Rapp was alive to enjoy their demise!!

Its sure been nice to listen to interviews over the past couple of seasons without the repetition of "We just gotta execute" and "We just gotta make plays" ad nauseum. Rich Campbell has also been a treat as a Head Coach if only for the lack of unnecessary drama that always was reflective of the Buono era - as blowing up at players on the sidelines, having great difficulty on 3rd and 1 (more blowing up at players) and too long in the huddle time count violations (more blowing up at players after confusion getting the play called in)
Leos football was such a rabbit hole world, for so long, under Buono, that when normal arrived under Campbell, it didn't feel normal at all for a short while. Then I realized, hey, this is true normal.
To the topic we were discussing - the hiring of Jones as GM and Simon as Assistant GM in Edmonton with Wally serving as a consultant. Hey, maybe Wally, was really looking after our Leos be insuring the Elks would fall into a rabbit hole themselves.
Now that may sound like a stretch,
But don't forget that in 2011, when Wally called for McCallum to punt on the last play of the game and McCallum ignored him. With Wally having a fit on the sidelines McCallum kicked a field goal from 53 yards out to keep the winning streak alive. McCallum was mobbed by his teamates while Wally instantly went on the air to say "I knew I could trust Paul to kick it through the uprights"
Good 'ol Wally may just have fooled the Elks too!!
Enjoy the game tonite! (Roar you Lions roar, just like 1964
)
