I scoured YouTube trying to find it and all I got was some lousy video (off Google Video) some guy shot off his TV.I ranked Champion lower on the list and it wasn't easy.<br /><br />The Pearl gets a lot of love in Hamilton, but doesn't really get his due outside of it. He really should. Him and Champion not being in the Hall seems wrong to me. Both were great players. Maybe I separated them too much with Winfield at #2 and Champion at #8. But that's the fun with lists, we can debate and debate.Josh Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799905664821010049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741247002544514122.post-68527659634673339352010-03-25T13:13:01.099-04:002010-03-25T13:13:01.099-04:00I agree with you about Flutie.

He had more of an impact in BC and his 2 years with Edmonton compared to what Winfield did here in Hamilton.<br /><br />I don't think that Champion gets the respect he deserves. Don't get me wrong, I luv Earl the Pearl. Was a great player with us but it's really a toss up.<br /><br />Anyone who catches a pass going backwards with broken ribs in a Grey Cups gets a ton of props.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741247002544514122.post-2429271804649254022010-03-25T12:26:56.310-04:002010-03-25T12:26:56.310-04:00I thoroughly respect that opinion.

I think Flutie had more to work with in terms of teammates.<br /><br />Also, I only took Flutie's impact <i>here</i> into consideration. If I was to take his whole body of work, yes, Flutie would rank ahead of Winfield.<br /><br />I think Champion and Winfield are close, but Winfield is ahead on my count. Winfield's impact here was larger than Champion's, in my opinion.Josh Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799905664821010049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741247002544514122.post-10001625757940932392010-03-25T12:01:49.803-04:002010-03-25T12:01:49.803-04:00Earl was a great receiver.
I do think that Tony ...Earl was a great receiver. <br /><br />I do think that Tony Champion and Darren Flutie were just a little bit better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
