Nicely done. +1 scary needle.

How long has Norv Turner been lying there?

"What's everyone doing tonight? Everyone masturbating?"

When I was nine my Cub Scout troop got to ride big wheels all over the Checkerdome floor for some scout event. Surreal, even for a nine-year-old.

I came for the story about Esiason and Millen getting high. I stayed for all the comments about Millen's incredibly stoned performance as Lions GM. Nice work, commentariat.

Ah yes, you are right. I'd fix it if I could, but Kinja won't let me. I guess I missed the class at Harvard where I was supposed to learn that. I also missed the class "Smug Putz 101" because it was full. You and TRONBALL must have snagged the last two spots.

That's right... Also Garry Unger, the Iron Man. Good times indeed.

Wow... That is the stadium where I had my tryout. +1 for that and another +1 for the Blues logo. I lived in suburban St. Louis until I was nine and my dad painted a faux Blues rink on our basement floor for me.

And then he insulted George Clooney and threw a cell phone at the crowd.

Context, people, context...

This has always been one of my very favorite YouTube videos. "SPORTSMANSHIP!"

That's very cool. Are you from Hamilton? I am a huge Daniel Lanois fan. I love your part of the world, actually. I went to Toronto this past September and had a wonderful time.

Oh - the seat he was in was surrendered by Hall of Famer George Reed, who was (and still is) the team's all-time rushing leader, and one of the greatest backs in football history.

I think your story might be better than mine, if for no other reason than Rob Ford. What the hell was he doing in Regina? Wait, I better not learn that.

That's really cool. I would love to go to an actual CFL game.

? No, far from it. Dad went to Misssisippi State and was the first in our family to go to college. I was the second.

OMG... Yes. Mark stayed with me on his recruiting trip and we became friends immediately. Just a great guy and great kicker. How do you know him?

You also lead the league in Manningfaces. :)

Great piece. Thanks. In May of 1992 I was a senior at Harvard and got invited to try out for the Hamilton Tiger Cats at a free agent camp. I had just finished a decent career as a placekicker... I'd had a really good junior season (perfect inside 40 yards, 50% outside 40 which was good at the time) but not as good…
