    I'm ready for the onslaught of hurt feelings but:

    IIRC after Trestman left  Dan Hawkins eventually tried to go back to Trestmans offense but Calvillo couldn't teach it after playing in it for years.

    Also while playing, his team mates weren't allowed to speak to him on the sidelines.

    Besides his dismal track record I have no idea why anyone believes Calvillo has any chance of being a good coach.

    Letting him go is IMO the best thing Kavis has done for Montreal.

     

    Let the flaming begin:)

    Sure, it was all AC's fault...

    I saw your post telling CalgaryRiderFan to quit being so cranky and something about his mom's basement. It was a pretty benign post that's made there about a thousand times a day. However, CRF is the owner of the site over there and is pretty thin skinned when anyone "disrespects" him. His mods are ultra protective of him too, because  CRF allows them to run roughshod over his forum. CRF doesn't even realize how badly he's being used.

    It's too bad because Riderfans, if run correctly, had the traffic to drive discussion and had his mods and CRF not been so narrow minded they could have picked up a ton of traffic from around the league's fan base. The moderation just went completely off the deep end a couple years ago when the Riders winning fell off the rails. Now the place is a **** show.

    It was a decent place when the original owner was running things. CRF came in, bought the site & down the hill it went.

    Serious question; have you seen any articles that called this trip a success? Anything I've seen has called the trip a disaster.

    Trudeau made me think of Michael in Arrested Development when he posed for pictures using the namaste hand gesture.

    His base will say he did great  & we know it.

    Tell me more about about your friend, who represent the entire East Coast market. 

    Friends. Not friend. You just twist **** around to suit whatever you want to think. You seem to know so much about the Maritimes, why don't you enlighten us for a change about CFL football down there?

    I'm hearing of this new fangled thing called market research.  I understand its something that, believe it or not, is more effective than idle speculation on websites and can actually show the market potential for a product or service.  We can only hope that the CFL is aware of this amazing tool.

    Funny how "market research" works so well in Toronto. We can only hope that the CFL is aware of this amazing tool.

    Yeah I agree for sure.  There is the potential that this was a crazy  conspiracy.  Which ofcourse, is not remotely the norm in cases like this.

    The trouble is he'll be elected again & we all know it.

    Have you been watching the CFL demographics? I think it's mostly 40's and up now.

    You can't just show up one day and expect the youth to come out. Set up a team and draw them in, like Ottawa. 

    What did the crowd in Calgary look like?

    How about Winnipeg? 

    There's history in Wpg & Calgary. In Halifax there's none.  Haligonians  & people from the Maritimes go to Boston hence the support for the Pats. My wife's friends used to live in Bridgewater, NS.  Huge Pats fans. Don't knw if they'd support a CFL team because we never, ever discussed it. Love to see the CFL succeed but is there a groundswell of support for a team?

  8. Not a lot of young fans at the fan fest with Ambrosie.  It was mostly fans in their 40's & up. I'm sure most Millennials are Pats fans.  That Maritime market may be a lot tougher to crack than people think.  Boston  & New York aren't that far away.  NFL loyalties are set after years of following teams south of the border.  I'm sure a lot of potential fans are thinking the CFL ignored them for over half a century so why should they be excited to support a CFL team in Halifax now?

    Man, i just dont get the hate for the fx in voyager or even ds9.

    Janeway is not a likeable character. She claims to follow the Prime Directive & wants to get her crew home. Yet she ordered them to waste time, fuel & resources to  explore when it should only have been about getting them home asap. She used the PD for purposes that suited her. She would pit one side in a dispute against the other for her convenience. Some of the characters like Neelix were just so damned annoying. I liked Enterprise a lot better than Voyager which is my least favourite Trek series.

    The only part I hated about Discovery was the whole Klingon part.  I don't like how they look, how they speak (sounds like they're talking with cotton in their mouths), the fact that they're race is supposed to be based on honor, or that they aren't following canon.

    I do agree that they're not focusing enough on the space exploration part of it, but I still thought it was good.

    Don't like the Klingons either. But the writing & effects are so much better than on previous series. Just check out Voyager for that on Space.
