Ah yeah, Ricky will eat up the league and I hope he says crew you to the NFl and stays. But that is highly unlikely.
I see the Argos winning the Grey Cup Again. Go Argos Go.

Nah. He only had 7 yards by the end of the first half and ended up with nearly 100 yards by the end of the game. He will show that the B.C team is a paper lion.
Re: RE: CFL Football thread
We'll see.
Even if B.C does get him. Toronto will win the Cup no doubts.

If you can get past the crappy blind pop ups at TSN these days, there's a story on Casey Printers. It looks like the Chiefs are impressed.

Canada Downs USA 15-10 to Win World Championship
LONDON, Ont. – The streak is over. Canada won its first world lacrosse title in 28-years, defeating the U.S. 15-10 in front of 7,735 fans.
The Americans had not lost in international lacrosse play since 1978, when they lost to Canada 17-16 in overtime.
Ottawa's Jeff Zywicki scored five goals and added an assist. Gary Gait of Victoria, B.C. added four goals in his final game in lacrosse.
Tournament MVP Geoff Snider was once again brilliant on face-offs winning 19 of 28 draws.
Orangeville, Ont., native Chris Sanderson was sensational early on, making three big saves off Mike and Casey Powell and Scott Urick of Team USA. He finished the game with 14 stops.
It took almost 10 minutes before the first goal was scored. Ryan Powell scored on a great set play off the powerplay with Canada's Chris Seller off for an illegal body check. Seconds later Mikey Powell took a great feed from Casey Powell to put the Americans up by a pair in the midst of a torrential downpour.
Zywicki scored four times in the opening quarter as Canada built up a 6-5 first-half lead.
Jordan Hall, of Surrey, B.C., scored Canada's first goal a minute later on the powerplay. America's Mike Powell tallied his second goal of the game after Sanderson dropped the ball in front of his crease, likely caused by the extremely wet conditions.
Then Zywicki scored his first on the powerplay at the end of the first quarter on a beautiful, tic-tac-toe passing play including Shawn Williams and John Grant Jr.
Scott Urick from the U.S. was robbed early in the second quarter by Sanderson, who continued his heroics with the Americans fastbreaking despite being short-handed. But he redeemed himself two minutes later with a shot that handcuffed Sanderson and slipped past him into the cage.
Canada's Jeff Zywicki scored to make it 4-3 before Jay Jalbert put the Americans up by two once again three minutes later. But Zywicki tallied his third and fourth goals of the game before Waterloo's Colin Doyle put Canada ahead 6-5 with a great goal late in the second quarter to end out the first half.
Jalbert buried his second of the game to tie the game at six early in the third quarter. Urick added his second of the game four minutes later to re-establish the U.S. lead at 7-6.
But Canada tallied three straight from Peterborough's John Grant Jr., Gavin Prout and Hall to build a two-goal lead. After America's A.J. Haugen scored, Canada led at the end of the third 9-8.
Canada exploded in the fourth as Gait turned it up in his final game in his illustrious career notching all four of his goals to give the Canucks the win.
The game was seen live across the world on CBC Sports Saturday (Canada), College Sports Television (U.S.) and Eurosport 2 (Europe).

LONDON, Ontario – Geoff Snider won 20 of 28 faceoffs and Jeff Zwicki had five goals and an assist to lead Canada to a 15-10 victory over the United States and claim the 2006 International Lacrosse Federation (ILF) World Championship today at rainy TD Waterhouse Stadium on the University of Western Ontario campus. The victory ends Team USA’s 28-year, 38-game ILF winning streak and hands the U.S. just its second-ever loss in international competition – the other being the 1978 ILF tournament final.
“I actually moved early on the first one, and you never want to start that way,” said Snider, who earned tournament MVP honors. Sunday he won 21 of 27 faceoffs in a 13-12 loss to the U.S. in round-robin play.
“If you can keep it in our end of the field, they are not going to score. I owed it to those guys and I was happy to play that role. It just so happens today was our day,” Snider added.
Gary Gait added four goals in what was likely his final playing appearance, all in a decisive fourth quarter that saw Snider win its first eight faceoffs to help the Canadians turn a 9-8 lead into a commanding 15-9 advantage. The Canadians pulled away in part because of a stiffening defense anchored by Brodie Merrill, who won the tournament’s Best Defenseman award. The 10 goals represents the fewest Team USA has ever scored in ILF play.
“We’ve been talking about that [the 28 years in between Canadian championships] since we started up,” said Merrill. “We knew we had the team to contend.”
“We knew [our defense] was going to be the difference-maker. Canada’s never had a problem putting the ball in the net,” Merrill added. “The key for us was not to get intimidated by the bigger-name players. Guys rose to the occasion.”
Ahead 9-8 at the start of the fourth, Zwicki corralled a loose ball in front of U.S. goalie Trevor Tierney and started the championship-clinching run with his final tally of the game. Scott Urick (team-high three goals) then took a feed from Joe Walters and punched home an extra-man goal at 16:45 to pull the U.S. back within one, but that would be the closest the Americans would get. Gait picked up another loose ball (Canada finished with an unofficial 37-26 edge in ground balls) and stepped inside Nicky Polanco to beat Tierney at 12:45. About three minutes later, Gait scored on a pass from Ryan Ward, and the U.S. began to double the ball which led to more scoring opportunities for Canada.
“When you give a team with that much firepower that many possessions after every goal, that’s a tough way to play,” said U.S. coach John Desko. “They a very dangerous team unsettled, and we had to pressure them or they were going to run the clock out. They took advantage of those opportunities.”
Early on, in a steady rain, Michael Powell played a role in the U.S. jumping to a 2-0 lead with an assist and a goal. He assisted a Jay Jalbert (Best Midfielder award winner) rocket shot with 10:09 to play in the first half to put the Americans ahead, 5-3. But Zwicki responded during the half’s final five minutes, scoring twice – once on a rebound of a Tierney save – as Canada changed the momentum of the game for good with a 3-0 run into halftime.
The game was tied at 6 and 7 in the third quarter. Gavin Prout scored on a pass from Colin Doyle with 8:20 remaining in the period to put Canada ahead for good at 8-7. Chris Sanderson, the tournament’s Best Goalie award winner, made 14 saves and helped keep a U.S. team that had been averaging just under 19 goals per game at bay.

* Canada’s 15-10 victory ended Team USA’s 28-year, 38-game winning streak in ILF play. The U.S.’s last loss came to Canada in the 1978 ILF final, in overtime and by a 17-16 score. Team USA’s all-time record in ILF play now stands at 47-2, by far the best among ILF-member nations.
* It was the sixth time that the U.S. and Canada have squared off in the ILF tournament championship game. The U.S. is 4-2 in those games.
* Paid attendance at TD Waterhouse Stadium was 7,735. It was the largest crowd of the tournament and largest in ILF play since 10,793 fans shoehorned into Homewood Field on the Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore to witness another USA-Canada championship game (won by the Americans in overtime, 15-14).
* Canada held the U.S. to 10 goals, fewest ever scored by the Red, White and Blue in ILF play. The previous low mark for the Americans was 11 scored against England in 1967, which was a four-team round-robin tournament prior to the 1974 inception of the ILF. In official ILF play, England held the U.S. to 12 goals on July 5, 1978.
* The Americans did score 123 goals in seven games – their second-most productive tournament (1994, 150 goals, seven games).
* Michael Powell passed out two assists in the championship game. He holds the U.S. record for career in ILF play with 40. He equaled his U.S. mark for most assists in a single ILF tournament with 20. He now ranks second all-time with 59 career points, behind only Mark Millon (67, 1994-98).
* Canada’s Geoff Snider won the ILF Best and Fairest Player (MVP) Award, marking the first time since 1986 that an American did not win the award.
* The next ILF field lacrosse competition will be for its Under-19 division of play. Canada will once again serve as host. The ILF U-19 World Championships will take place July 3-12, 2008, in Coquitlam, British Columbia. The U.S. is undefeated in U-19 play since the event’s 1988 inception.
While I was rooting for my Yanks, as a huge fan of Syracuse lacrosse I cannot help but admire the many great accomplishments of Gary Gait who is the GREATEST player this sport has ever seen.

Gary Gait is an amazing player. What a way to cap a career. Nice to get one from you guys. Hopefully Canada can be competitive going forward.
Not to diminish Gary Gait at all but the most talented ball handler the game has ever seen is a guy named Jack Bionda (a box lacrosse guy). His ball handling defied physics. When he had the ball around the net it was impossible to know if the shot was coming from over the shoulder, side arm, behind the back, between the legs, under is armpit or some other location yet to be discovered/invented. He could shoot a one handed behind his back sub-shot as accurate as anyone could shoot overhanded, and it usually came after a fake or two that would remove jock straps.
Had to get a plug in for Jack.
