Google translator is so not hip to this. Equanimeous St. Brown would have gotten the joke. Edited May 19, 2020 by Uffdaswede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I’ve been drinking a lot, and uncle suddenly strikes me as a hilarious word. Like Ron should be offended. “What did you call me?” ”Uncle Ron.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a history of YAC. Last season in Calgary he played in 17 games with 149 receptions, 2236 yards and 12 TDs. Of course he'll be up against better DBs in the NFL but it will be fun to see how he fares with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 from The Athletic Begelton played in more games in 2019 (17) than in 2017 and ‘18 combined (16). With imposing speed and the hands to match, he finished second in the league with 102 catches, third with 1,444 receiving yards and tied for third with 10 touchdown catches. He was unanimously named Calgary’s team MVP and a CFL All-Star. “You could kind of sense he felt it was a make or break year,” Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson said. Finally, after enduring tragedy, denial, depression, injury and seemingly every reason to give up football for good, Begelton was about to get his shot. Said Dickenson: “He doesn’t take no for an answer well.” Begelton tried out for seven NFL teams over two weeks in December 2019. None signed him. One tryout remained on New Year’s Eve in Green Bay. “I went through all these workouts and I’m not getting any real positive feedback and I’m kind of panicking,” Begelton said. “I’m finally getting this opportunity and I’m not getting what I wanna hear, so you can only imagine what’s going through my head at this point that I’m heading to the Packers.” The retirement, the return, the injuries, the resurgence: it boiled down to one day. And he killed it. “In my eyes, I had the best workout I could’ve ever had,” Begelton said. “The Packers straight up told me, ‘We love you and we’re gonna sign you.’ “As far as Reggie Begelton goes, he had a tremendous amount of production in the CFL last year,” Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said. “We were able to bring him in, work him out and he just kind of fits a lot of the things we’re looking for.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{Family Ghost} Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I've refused to get even the least bit excited about Begelton. The odds are pretty long on him even making the team let alone becoming a serious contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of one name. And that dude is older than me. Which is saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the names were players that played in the CFL after they played in the NFL. That I honestly didn't know about Theisman. I was thinking Warren Moon. I loved Flutie in the Dr. Pepper commercial where he asked for a T-shirt. Guy says, "All I've got is a boy's medium." Flutie says, "That'll work."
