Why does TT keep this team on the BRINK of being great?

Am I set up? I'l take this chance and think..NO!

Thank You. Thanks. Thank You ... very much Patler. Ryan was a tremendous talent and athlete that had to grow and was let go too soon. That one really hurt this Canuck but I'm confident that TT will get it right in the end.
GO PACK GO!

I'm not sure what your point is. In fairness to my self, I will repeat the entire punter comment:

Let's talk about the punter, which you brought up. What was the "easy" way to "have a decent punter." If you want to criticize the release of Jon Ryan, in retrospect I can agree it was a mistake. But that was done in an attempt to get better. Isn't that exactly what you want him to do? Once that attempt to become better failed, what was the way to fix it that you believe is "JUST that easy"? There have been articles several times the last couple years listing the FA options, and it was never very impressive. It looks like the problem could be fixed now, time will tell.

In retrospect, it didn't work out with Frost or the others since Frost, so it was a mistake. But I don't expect a GM to be perfect anymore than I expect the players to perform perfectly. They will all make mistakes, At the time I had no complaints about the move, and I still don't, because Ryan was inconsistent, made his fair share of mistakes (or more), and they tried to get better consistency going to another punter.

I still think that what got Ryan cut was the run he had for a first down in the preseason game just before getting cut. Looked good and turned out OK, but the coaches were irate. A fake punt had been called, but was then called off. They said 10 guys on the field knew it was off, only Ryan didn't. In a crucial game, it might have killed them.

There ... goes the wind again. Gone !

but ... it didn't kill them and he never did it again. It was one of the most exciting plays we saw all season. It was 'the Canadian way'. Inspired out of necessity.

GO PACK!!

The Canadian way? To miss the signal?

Nah, Canadians are better than that.

That's because we pick our role models carefully and send them before you fellas proudly.

Great Canadians like Bob and Doug McKenzie who know about alot more than beer and how to model a touque. Then there's the enormously gifted and wise Red Green and his famous nephew 'Harold' and the esteemed members of ' the Royal Order (I think) of the Possum Lodge ' and among so many others like Jim Carey. Our latest charge and prime example of Canadian peer bonding and progressive living inspit of all hardship.

The Trailer Park Boys led by ' the humane cat lover ' Bubbles. The real thrust behind all their excelllent exploits.

All of these fine men. Proud Canadians and excellent ambassadors wherever they appear or go.

Yes all these fellas, make a man like me so proud to chant the slogan.

We are Canadian.

Woody, your list is not complete without the boys from K.I.T.H.
Just don't you go and try to take me to a Leaf's game, eh?

I can load illegal immigrants into the back of a van, two at a time. Does that count?
