Now if Ricky Foley signed in BC like he was supposed to he would have a Grey Cup ring on his finger.:troll:

I didn't want to make a new thread and obviously I'm not a Lions fan but I have to say Geroy is a class act. He was out today coaching the little kids (my son included) in Cloverdale. It's nice to see athletes giving back something to the community, this isn't the first time I've seen him helping coach either he does it during the season as well.

He also goes to schools and speaks to the students about the importance of physical activity, reading, staying in school, etc.


These players aren't like your typical million dollar athletes, they are pretty much down to earth. Some working regular jobs in the off season to make ends meet.

Never met Geroy in person, but there's no end of stories of people who've dealt with him and said he's salt-of-the-earth.

And yeah, that goes for most CFL players. Paris Jackson's dad used to come hang out with us at the tailgates, and Paris came to hang out sometimes after the games.
