Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Water Boy from the Sidelines to The Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Water Boy From the Sidelines to the Owner's Box Inside the CFL the XFL and the NFL by Bob Ackles The Water Boy : From the Sidelines to the Owner's Box: Inside the CFL, the XFL, and the NFL. Not only did he go from lowly Water Boy to the executive suite in the CFL, Ackles also spent fifteen years in the NFL--six seasons with the mighty Dallas Cowboys, and then on to the Arizona Cardinals, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Miami Dolphins—and he even served a brief stint in the short-lived XFL as Vice President and General Manager of the Las Vegas Outlaws. As the only man to hold executive positions in all three professional leagues, Ackles offers up a unique perspective on pro football in North America. The Water Boy is Bob Ackles’ engaging memoir, a candid, personal account of his life and his amazing career in the game of football. From his humble beginnings, personally and professionally, Ackles has risen to become one of the most respected executives in football and in sports in general, both in Canada and the United States. With veteran journalist Ian Mulgrew, Ackles shares his rich, expansive life openly, with humour and amazing insights into the sport of football and its personalities, his long-running love affair with his wife Kay, his grasp on leadership and running a successful business. The Water Boy is a fascinating look inside the locker rooms and the owners’ boxes of the football world in North America, and an engaging telling of a life lived to its fullest. The Water Boy: From the Sidelines to the Owner's Box: Inside the CFL the XFL and the NFL by Bob Ackles.

  • The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 6 (1991) The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog by Jack Ziegler Most pro football games take 3 to 3 1/2 hours to complete. However, when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers met the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the Grey Cup Championship in 1962 the game took 25 hours because of fog delay. Or as Bobby Kuntz of the Ti-Cats put it: “I waited seven years to play in a Grey Cup game and then I get two in two days.” The Grey Cup game was scheduled for 1 p.m. on December 1, 1962 in Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition stadium. As early as 30 November, league and club officials were concerned about the heavy fog in Toronto. Joseph Sheehan of the New York Times reported that “It was so foggy ...in downtown Toronto that until noon it was impossible to see across even a narrow street.” Yet by 11:30 a.m. on game day things seemed to be going well. While there was heavy fog over Lake Ontario, weather at CNE stadium was delightful with the temperature in the fifties and sunny skies. But by 1 p.m. kickoff time the field was covered with haze as prevailing winds began to move the fog in from the lake. By the end of the first quarter there were dense patches of fog on the field that eventually became a solid mass. From the stands and the press box, fans and reporters could only see halfway across the 65 yard wide field.

  • Information Bulletin Bc Place Revitalization Final Cost
    INFORMATION BULLETIN BC PLACE REVITALIZATION FINAL COST VANCOUVER, BC: BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo) announced today the final cost for the new BC Place is $514 million. The final approved budget for the stadium revitalization project was $563 million. The project was completed $49 million under budget primarily through savings achieved during the Phase 2 Retractable Roof project. BC Place was revitalized in two stages over a period of more than three years, involving more than 5000 skilled professionals and tradespeople. BC Place was awarded ‘Project of the Year’ at the StadiumBusiness Awards in Italy, in May 2012. The stadium has also been nominated for the BC Hydro PowerSmart Excellence Awards in the ‘New Construction’ Category – achieving approximately 38 per cent in electrical savings from eliminating the old air-supported roof. Furthermore, the Rick Hansen foundation recently featured BC Place as an “Accessible Success Story” - for ‘new accessible features of a community facility’. Reopening September 30, 2011, the new BC Place became the new home to Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and home to the returning BC Lions Football Club and the BC Sports Hall of Fame. In its first year, the new multipurpose facility has hosted a wide range of events including: the 99th CFL Grey Cup Championship, 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Soccer Tournament, CIS Vanier Cup, BC High School Football Championship, Monster Jam, the 50th Annual Vancouver International Boat Show, BC Home and Garden Show, PlayDome, Vancouver International Auto Show, The Vancouver Sun Run, EAT! Vancouver Food and Cooking Festival, Roger Waters’ THE WALL Live, a free Community Open House, and more.
