Hit The Post with The Voice of the Als & Canadiens on CJAD

Did you watch the leaders' debates last nite? How come none of them talked about Disaster Planning and Emergency bailouts for Hamilton Tiger Cat fans?!

Is Velcro Hands secret identity "Captain Modesty"? Ben Cahoon can set a milestone becoming Number 1 alltime in the CFL among Canadian receivers. That's pretty good for a guy born in Utah (lol) but raised in Alberta and Montreal, and told his whole life he's too small and too slow for the NFL. But Ben tells me about a striking lesson in arrogance and humility.

Even before Ben played his first game in Canada...he had a weird encounter with the wacko whose record he's poised to break! His name's Ray Elgaard, and he was a prairie plow of a tight-end-style slotback from the late 80's and well into the 90's for Saskatchewan....Ben's graudating from Brigham Young University and gets a call from a tele-marketer trying to get his hands into the wallets of US college football prospects. He says "Hi, this is Ray Elgaard.."...and Ben says "what do you do..." and Ray says "I've just set all kinds of passcatching records in the cfl...." and Ben innocently replies "I'm headed to the CFL"....Elgaard: "What position do you play?" Ben now ticked this stranger who looked him up doesn't even know they've got great hands in common: "I'm a receiver too." Elgaard's fired up now: "Well, you'll never touch any of my records, kid!"

Mr. Elgaard....you dropped the ball on this one!!!!

One of my key secrets for Office Hockey pools is DONT DRAFT HABS! Everybody in Montreal wants to draft with their hearts, not their heads. That said, Andrew Carter and I were part of the National Dream League for the Quebec Society for Disabled Children graciously hosted by the Royal Bank Thursday night, and Ronald Davidson ends up selecting everybody this side of TK and Georges Laraque! You go, Ronald! You're channeling Bob Gainey.

George Springate at the NDL draft: "In my day the Als didn't sign you cuz you were talented, they signed me cuz I was goodlooking!"

Carbo in playoff secrecy mode asked about the length of his new contract extension: "More than 1 and less than 10 (seasons)."

Not even the Chinese web-police could crack this encryption code: Francis Bouillon's injury was first described as neither "lower body" NOR "upper body". Presumably not "out of body".

ALS AC/BC: Ben and Anthony admit they don't talk to eachother much on the sidelines. Calvillo: "Pringle had The Look that said give me the damn ball. Ben doesn't have The Look, but I know his body language...he has The Walk that tells me he wants the ball."
