I have no memory of him playing for the Berlin Thunder. I remember his Packer and Bears days, even watched him play part of a preseason game for the Bears.

I always liked Hank, even after he left. I liked him for getting us the Grey Cup, he was a classy guy, and he clearly loved the game, and the city of Calgary. I also liked the absolute hatred of him in Saskatchewan and I'm glad to see that banner passed to BLM.

I still remember when he went to the Bears, he was one of the lowest rated QB's in Madden that year. Strong arm, 0 awareness, I remember using him for a season in a handicapped league that we had, I threw a billion picks. I think in 2003 he had a 43 rating.

I'm glad he's moving into the broadcast booth he was born to be there. Also if the Stamps couldn't win last year . . . I'm glad Hank went out on top.

And yeah, pretty gutsy to play with a torn ACL.

MUCH respect for Henry. Always seemed so positive.
