I think the Bombers just might win this one (the 2021 repeat broadcast).
Again - I've been pre-gaming since last night.
Ick.  Was he any good?  Such a tough slog.  Know a few people in Nashville through a Music Camp that are toughing it out.
Wow - what a life I've lead...
This thread is so derailed...

Respect everyone , fear no one....

That just might be 3Down's best article ever.
"The Winnipeg Blue Bombers showed no mercy embarrassing the Als 58-2 in front of a packed house at Winnipeg Stadium. Ferragamo was ineffective and managed just four first downs.
Remarkably, the Alouettes qualified for the post-season after winning just three games in the weak East Division. They played at Ottawa in the East semi-final and almost pulled out an upset in the game’s final moments. Ferragamo watched his last CFL game from the press box. His stat line from the year was miserable: in 13 appearances he completed 175-of-342 passes for 2,175 yards, with seven touchdown passes and an incredible 25 interceptions. Colour analysts suggested that when he dropped back in the pocket he was “scared to death.” "

Exactly, don’t take them lightly but don’t respect them. Set the tone early and often. Dictate the game. No mercy. Celebrate after the final whistle.

my memory is foggy but I think I might have been at that game.  I hope I was.

Vince Ferragamo was the original Johnny Manziel – with similar results - 3DownNation

Anyway - having watched the last 3 Grey Cups over the last 2 days, it's clear that the Bombers need to go 2019 on Montreal.
Impose their will and everything will be fine.  No playing not to lose.  Don't take the Als lightly, but do not respect them.
For some reason, I remember Billy "White Shoes" Johnson more than Ferragamo, but not in any detail.

It's all good.  I'm deep into the CR, watching the 1984 Grey Cup, then going to watch some F1 in Vegas.  Tomorrow I want to watch the Bombers give the Alouettes an old fashioned arse kicking.  I remember back in the 80's when the Al's came to town with Vince Ferragamo et al and the Bombers just pounded them.  I want that level of poundage once again.  Cody Fajardo is a third-string bum.  And tomorrow he's going to prove it.
EDIT - I always forget in 1984 that we were down 14-0 when John Hufnagel came in for Clements, and the whole game changed.  We never looked back after Huffer came in and calmed everyone down.

Lawler's offensive pass interference to preserve the field goal chance was such a smart play.

yeah Suits was sweating through his panty shields with Keith Urban in the booth.  I get it, Urban is a massive star but man that was sad.

I know that Cuthbert hated it but had no choice. I don't know who thinks it's a good idea to do those, because nobody likes it. The singer doesn't want to be there, the hosts don't want them there, the audience doesn't want anything other than the game.... It's just idiotic. They would never do that in the NFL or any other pro sports league during a championship game. So incredibly dumb.

Just came on, but he's a CFL fan and was pretty good.  
And Suitor wasn't in love with him, so he kept pretty quiet.
Kind of wondering how badly a Green Day in the booth invite might turn out.
And not in a bad way.

To be fair I was pretty gone by that point....though I've watched that game numerous times since, but not nearly as much as the 2019 game....I hope Suitor didn't make the poor guy call a play....that still to this day is one of the dumbest moves in a broadcast ever...ask an Australian who has never watched a CFL game in his life to call a play.  It's like asking Justin Bieber to do play by play at an Aussie-rules AFL game.  Just so dumb as Shoresy would say.

It pissed me off when I first heard about it. BBT is a known ****** but he wants to promote the music, not the acting, and you agreed to go that route... Then you go against it. The whole thing was a train wreck. Not fun for anyone. And it's a lot of arrogance to think that manufacturing controversy is a good thing.

at the 1:40 mark - is Brady Olivera dating Sofia Vergara?  Nice work my friend!!
at least no awkward 3rd quarter musician interviews in the broadcast booth in that one....
