To honor the creation of Gridiron Football Canada, I am bringing back the long retired monicker of the most infamous poster in the history of sports posting in Canada - NASTY NATE - the 1 & only!
Banned from at least 3 sports websites, Nasty Nate was a fearless critic of the CFL’s social and moral fabric. The only fan ever called out by a CFL general manager. Glad I somehow escaped that noose. Others? Not so much!!!
btw, the original Nasty Nate character was fashioned on some old sportswriters I used to hear on TV and radio. One of them, a crusty old campaigner named Jim Hunt. The other a famed local yokel (Winnipeg) named Jack Matheson. Those guys go back at least 50 to 70 years. To update the character I threw in a piece of a now forgotten old sports radio warrior from the Ottawa area, known only as THE DANDYMAN.
And as Paul Harvey once said . . . .
Now you know the REST OF THE STORY!
