With it being well into 2007, we thought we'd steal a page from every media outlet/blogger/writer/drunken New Year's Eve partier and take a look back at some of our favourite people of 2006. Some impressed. Some dazzled. Most just amused, and only occasionally intentionally. Enjoy. (And we promise to finish this up before training camps open)

Number 6: Shake Severs

It would be criminal of us not to recognize the contributions this year of Mr. Shake Severs. Sure, he may have played somewhat poorly at the start of the year.  And, yes he became a big enough distraction on a team that featured Ricky and Bernard Williams that he was released, but he did help the Argos out immensly by choosing his rap career over a stint in Winnipeg.  Given how close the East semi was, a Bomber receiving corps featuring Uncle Milty, Derrick Armstrong and Shake Severs may have put Winnipeg over the top.

The UGA mascot apparently had no love for Shake Severs' rhymes while he was at AuburnOur lone disappointment was that Shake was unable to secure a place on the Grey Cup week bill with Tom Cochrane and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.  Maybe next year.

For thwrating the hopes of the Bombers, and releasing his much anticipated followup to It's Critical (thank you to commenter Big Lou for the heads up), Shake Severs receives the prestigous honour of being number 6 on our top 10 of '06.
