Stampman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I hope it's true--man drags the team to the depths (yes the coaches and players did some of it to)--but his attitude was all wrong--turned off a lot of people.If we'd had a decent owner--we'd have a good coach, and kept some players we lost.Feterik (the owner) recently did an interview and still is criticizing Buono--well the guy coached in the Grey Cup this year--where were the Stamps?...I hope the story's true...

Mac the Knife Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Again?Didn't this guy just buy them like... last Monday or something? J/K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 No he bought them 3 years ago--just before they won the Grey Cup--since then--it's been all downhill--not all his fault mind you, but he desreves a big piece of the blame...

Lee. Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 How long before we see "Dunigan- Done Again" headlines in the Calgary Sun?I mean more so than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Well it's all over but the screamin'Feterik HAS sold the team to local owners--including former players.The official announcement is expected Wednesday...Also expected is the turfing of Coach/GM Matt Dunigan, and team President Ron Rooke.And the Hiring of Tom Higgins as coach and/or GM, Jim Barker (former coach) as director of player personnel--and the return of former team president Stan Schwartz...Michael Feterik is quoted as saying he wished he could ave had better news--well aside from signing certain free agents, this is great news to this Stamps fan!

RyanB06 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I assume "turfing"="firing"? Of what little I got to see of the CFL this past season, it looked like Calgary needed some kind of change. They looked lousy.Hopefully the team that made Doug Flutie a star can get back on its feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaolinaJoe Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I don't know. When I think of Flutie, first I think BC Lions, then Toronto Argonauts. Calgary only as an after thought, an "Oh yeah, he played there too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary only as an after thought, an "Oh yeah, he played there too." But Calgary was Flutie's springboard back to the NFL, no? Or am I totally confused?(Just looked it up. Apparently I'm confused. The Argos were Flutie's last CFL stop.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaolinaJoe Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Fluties last game with Calgary ended up with a picture like this- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 By then Garcia was ready, so no problem--But Flutie's CFL career was longest with the Stamps-including outstanding player awards, and a Grey Cup-He won 2 Cups with the Argos, and none with BC--so I baerely think of him with BC.Oh and that Grey Cup picture is why I knew Buono would NOT put in Printers in last year's Grey Cup--that game in '95 he left Flutie in, and didn't go to Garcia--yet Garcia did play in the semi finals when Flutie faltered...

Phil Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'm happy for Stamps fans, because nobody deserves an owner like Michael Feterik, and because now the name Dave Sapunjis will be back in the news.Just saying the name makes me happy...

rmered Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 So they run on the edge of breakeven?I think I'd like one.I'll take the BC Lions, hold the logo and colours.In fact, I pledge to everyone now.When I buy the BC Lions I'll have a comp on here for the new design package.And Lenny the Laughing Lion will be gone. As will Black, Silver and Orange. You might have to give me a couple of years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
