Refoooooooorrrrrrmmmmmmmmm!!!! Ah yes, we've already done this with Preston Manning and Stockwell Day. Well back to the drawing board.

I like Gilles Duceppe, if I was a Quebecer I would be glad he was the guy representing us. I'm thinking of starting a political party called the North West Party. It will be primarily like the BQ but for BC, AB, SK, MB, and the territories. Do you think people will buy in? I will of course be the leader due to my good looks, charm, wit, and overall good judgment.

But what's Boston's endgame here? Does it not seem like they are entering a rebuilding phase?

They used to but they kept bringing all the boys to the yard

It's hard to say. Are they rebuilding or what? They've given away some pretty big pieces lately. But then why would they want Byfuglien? They have some picks but their prospect pool seems weak, IMO. I'd love to get back one of their top 6 forwards like Marchand, Krejci or Eriksson. But would they trade those guys away? Not sure.

My overall impression based on everything that's gone down is that something inappropriate happened between Kane and this girl, whether it was rape or some other sexual assault... who knows. But I also believe that Kane will never be convicted and pretty sure he will never even be charged. Really just an awful situation.

Apparently the girl from that story is the friend of the accuser, not the accuser herself.

Not sure why everyone is assuming the "tour" is Henoc or his agent's idea. I think they've both made it quite clear he's still looking for NFL opportunities. CFL teams really want Henoc so they are inviting him to their cities in order to impress him... it's not like Henoc and his agent are demanding these visits.

Soooo.... it's game day. Anyone have any faith in the Bombers winning tonight? I'm going to say the special teams will be improved tonight and the defence will play lights out. Nichols protects the ball on offence. 22-10 Bombers.

Politicians really shouldn't be saying anything bad about any race or culture. Not sure why some consider Jews fair game.

They've been talking about it on 1290 as well. Some callers are indifferent but some are pretty pissed off. The pictures are out there on social media. It's definitely more obstructed than it used to be for some seats. It affects a pretty small number of fans I think. Unfortunately they weren't warned at all or given any options so I think that's what some people are upset about.

It's like listening to a five year old trying to read. Painful.

I'm watching the live stream of the french debate right now and Harper's translator is such bullshit! I don't know if he's supplied by Harper and the conservatives or by the CBC who is running the stream, but he can barely translate what Harper is saying while the rest have fluid speakers able to convey the passion of the person they are translating. Unbelievable!

They have two kickers named Palardy now... the other being an American named Michael. Get ready to hear that fact about 300 times during the next Argo game.

Yes, that is the difference. The NFL broadcasters will actually talk about the game, and if one player is unexpectedly having a great game, they will latch onto that and talk about that instead of the storyline that they had coming in. In the CFL, players can be having a career day and no one will comment on it because they are talking about the same silly thing they always do. How this coach drinks 3 coffees every gameday or that player keeps a funny picture in their locker. Just stupid fluff stories that no one cares about, certainly no one cares about them enough to hear it for an entire 3 hour broadcast. NFL is also a lot better about letting you know about little things happening in-game. CFL announcers either have no desire to tell us when there is a personnel change on the OL or DL or they just don't notice.

American style sports broadcasting. The game isn't interesting to sell itself they have to find some story to sell, just ridiculous. Not sure it's American style. I don't get the same kind of thing on NFL broadcasts. Are you kidding me? The NFL hypes the crap out of any little thing. It's the single biggest reason that I can't watch the NFL despite being a football fan. Maybe it's not one player throughout the course of the game but Americans are obsessed with playing the game on paper and then seeing if the game will follow their script. Maybe it was like that at one point but I watch a ton of NFL and it's nothing like what they do on CFL broadcasts.

People up early on Sunday mornings. AKA psychopaths.

I like Arthur - he's a good twitter follow too. Speaking of pompous windbags... isn't Steve Simmons a regular on The Reporters? IMO, Simmons and Damien Cox are easily 2 of the least desirable sports media in the country. Arthur is just so pretentious, especially on Twitter. I can't take it. Certainly I agree about Simmons as well. Cox is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

The angle is weird because we're supposed to be buying into Ziggler as a Face but he is doing some very Heel things. It's all so confusing. Also Summer Rae is just dreadful.

Not sure what Postma would draw on the trade market but the Harrison comparison is irrelevant considering the wide gap in age, playing style, experience, and contract status.

The Reporters is awful. Just a terrible show. Anything involving Bruce Arthur is a joke. What a pompous windbag.

American style sports broadcasting. The game isn't interesting to sell itself they have to find some story to sell, just ridiculous. Not sure it's American style. I don't get the same kind of thing on NFL broadcasts.

What do you think of Hotshot Danny Duggan?
