That's fuckin awesome!! Did you say hi, thumbs up, high five or anything? I think I would have been tempted to at least give them an over-head clap and a "Go Broncos!!"

Yeah I said hi and shook their hands. I've met DT before the year they were locked out and Tebow and the boys were practicing at Valor down the street from my house.

Without Googling,

How do you score 1 point in the CFL?

A shame that Tom Jackson is leaving ESPN. He's too young to retire, so hope he heads back to Denver and hangs out here doing some radio, TV, or whatever he wants. I don't watch ESPN often, so can't say I'm too upset about him not being on air anymore.

Yeah I will miss Tommie... I always thought he was good. While some could call him a Bronco homer. I felt like he was always very knowledgeable. Seems like the guy has been on air since I was in diapers (wait I am still in diapers ) There.... beat ya to it Mingo.

I believe...

It is like indoor.

If a kick goes into the EZ and the return man isn't able to bring it out and gets tackled in the EZ it is a "roughe" point. Not sure on the spelling there.

I know in indoor if the kick goes in and it doesnt go over the wall and the KR gets tackled in the EZ the other team is awarded 1 point. College football has the same rule that not a lot of people know about because it doesn't happen often, but if you field the kick in the EZ and don't get it out, instead of a safety it is 1 point. In indoor it is common because you get down the ball in the EZ.

Also another way to score 1 point in CFL is an extra point.

I was going to say that - but figured you would call me Mr Obvious!

Yeah something like that. It was weird I saw a 1st quarter score in a CFL game and it was 1-0.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was so excited about his new contract, he wore his favorite Rue McClanahan wig to the signing . .

Is SportsHoopla pulling a KFFL ? If so are we looking for new digs ?

I hope not. We just built something up great with this group so hopefully this new owner makes a few improvements and the rest is business as usual. This might be the time to bring up with the new owner the idea of allowing longer time to correct your post than just the few minutes we have right now.

 

[Mingo]

What happened? I missed it - SportsHoopla is sold?

It sold officially yesterday to another poster. So right now it seems that things will be business as usual. Not quite time to panic yet.

 

[MileHigh64]

As long as the new owner (poster) understands that the Broncos board is the most active, most diverse, most important and has the most intelligent posters on, then I'm okay with the sale. Super Bowl 50 means that we're the champions of all SportsHoopla fans as well!

Go Broncos!
