[lor]

I'm sad to see him go but I am not surprised. Thanks Mr. Cahoon for a great run!

Same here....he gave 200% each time he stepped on the field !

if Ben retires......

Alouettes better retire #86 @ 1st home game of 2011 with a BIG celebration, NO one should be allowed to wear that # anymore !

I'll sure miss Jacques Moreau saying: Passe attrappé par le #86 Ben ..and crowd goes: Cahoooooooooooooooooooooooooon !

They should have done the same with Chiu last year but only honored him.....what a bunch of.....

I have my online translator open so I think I'm understanding that you would like an 8x10 copy? It would be my pleasure to have one made for you, perhaps we could make a discount for the Ben Cahoon autograph as I would love to get one signed. Please feel free to send me more details at alsfan@hotmail.ca.

Si le chandail #86 n'est pas retiré, je fais un scandale!!!!

Il n'y a pas eu plus grand receveur pour les Alouettes que lui, et je n'enlève rien à Hal Patterson ni Peter Dalla Riva pour autant. Certes, il avait du talent, mais c'est son travail acharné et sa grande intelligence du jeu qui lui ont permis de se hisser au sommet, parmi les plus grands receveur du football, toutes ligues réunies.

Nous avons été choyés d'avoir pu suivre les exploits aériens d'un receveur aussi saltimbanque et être gratifiés de l'inspiration qu'il a su apporter aux autres joueurs de l'équipe.

Nous verrons encore des attrapés Cahoonesques!, mais ce ne sera plus ceux de Ben Cahoon. Alors, lorsqu'un de nos gars fera un de ces attrapés incoryables, crions encore Cahooooooooon! avec le nom du receveur. Non pour enlever du crédit à celui qui l'a fait, mais pour lui dire que c'en était tout un.

Ben Cahoon demeurera à jamais une légende du football, de tout le football.

MERCI, BEN!

U know what is sad? Is when u need to read from a Toronto journalist and not your local hack, on why Cahoon is Canadian. And that journalist unlike our well known hack does not say he truly is not a Canadian and in the same sentence calls the league goofy. Read from the Toronto star someone classier than our local hack who shall remain nameless.

did you read the hacks article bout ben?

Try not to remember the dropped passes this year, remember his good seasons.

The hack is a joke

[sectionu2]

The hack has no, I repeat no respect for the cfl, he never misses a chance to throw mud.

[XGamer]

Ah.... the hack.....he knows controversy = traffic...that's why he always has that "assasine" 1 liner in his article...

Do we really care about the hack & the toad ?
