    I think we'll  have to face the fact that Speedflex is who he is.  He's not going to get "fixed" ;)

    As far as I know,  when Simonise came back to the Sun in 2017 his attitude was fine. He has a lot of confidence. Now he's eligible for the CFL Draft & he won't be the Big Dog anymore like he was in junior football.  He'll have to work hard to crack a CFL lineup. 

  2. If Henoc Muamba signs in Montreal "for the money" & the Als win 3 games this season then Muamba should be prepared for Kavis to renege on his contractual obligations to him by  dumping his big salary next off season.  Muamba will be treated like Kyries Hebert.  No bonuses paid. Gonzo.  So, he can sign for the money but be prepared to do another tour next off season. Man, this guy does not get it. For a little less, he has the chance to be a Grey Cup champ here. Oh well, he can do what he likes. Good luck with that if he signs in Montreal.

    Wonder if we'd have any interest as our #3? not a world beater but I've seen a lot worse in terms of prospects we've brought in

    Not with Durant. I could see him wind up in Calgary.  Then again, they see something in Buckley nobody else does. I have no idea what it is. The Stamps are one hit away at qb  from having the first pick... errr ... sorry, forgot about Montreal & The Kavis Reed Show ... the SECOND pick in the CFL Draft next spring.

    So, Wilder gets criticized for wanting to better himself with an NFL tryout. Meanwhile, just TODAY the OC in Edmonton resigned to coach in the NFL. Coaches can leave but players can't.  I think anyone who criticizes these players  (like Jacquie) are totally blowing smoke. If coaches can walk out on their contractual responsibilities  in March then players should be able to as well.

    But...but... what about all that NFL interest he said he was getting and wanted out of his contract to pursue. :rolleyes: 

    But.. but... he got a new contract that pays him among the best in the league at his position so who cares? I think he did want to pursue NFL opportunities but couldn't.

    Was the original creator and owner of the site someone who went by the handle "Chaps"? Always wonder where all the old posters from TotalCFL ended up? I never go to the site now but do remember the early years when just about everyone that went on to form other sites was posting there (including Colin Unger - Mookie in those days).

    Yeah, it was Chaps. He was a Rider fan first but also a CFL fan. I'm still friends with him on facebook but I won't say his name.  He is a great guy.  I remember CRF as a poster over there before he owned the place. He seemed like a decent guy but things really changed when he took over.

    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?

  14. 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?
