I remember the days when pre season got everyone excited about new players and the potential that they may have. I wasn't aware that pre season these days is that we whine and complain about declare how our team is destroyed because of two injures and starting an older qb. We used to have more excitement when guys like Robert Marve was going to be our potential starting QB....

Jake Paul sitting in a couch and pretending like he can get into MMA and fight Ngannou was enough for me to realize this event was a complete joke. Watch them trot out Fedor vs Randy Couture for the next event or something equally as lame.

I associate the 90's smell of going to the bar and smelling cigarettes and the smell of the guys loaded up with Axe body spray.

I was under the impression the coaches want him to knock down passes and to contain rather then for him to go for the sack. Also he played next to Jake Thomas who comically was knocked around on nearly every play. From what I've watched Willie still can disrupt even at his older age.

They have a glass cabinet that is maybe 4 feet wide that contains everything. It is also a full size restaurant also, so it's not like a kiosk. Tim is phasing out soups and pastries in certain areas of the country and are moving towards more of the flatbreads and bowls. Baaaaaaaack in my youth, Tim Hortons would actually have a wide variety. I hope Dunkin donuts can come and offer such crazy items such as a "double chocolate, maple dip or vanilla dip donut" for which Tims no longer offers in each location. Maybe even crazy things such as the powdered donuts.

Now is the time for them to come back. Tim Hortons continually kills the brand and keeps eliminating items that made them successful in the first place, if Dunkin can come in and offer a variety with decent coffee then they should do well. The offerings at Tim near my house is embarrassing (i.e. plain, honey dip, chocolate dip, and if lucky a few other donuts that change every month).

He was a game manager when his arm was shot in his last few years with the club. Purely because he was unable to throw a 15+ yard pass. His first two years with us he was a gunslinger and was able to take chances. Truly unfortunate that his injuries derailed him.

I could see playing a guy who is "cold" and who has shown flashes of brilliance and trying to let the guy dig himself out of a rut. What annoys me is playing a guy who at best is a "C" level player and who is doing absolutely zilch on the field and refusing to give the next man up a legit chance to shine. O'Shea likes to give the next man up a "chance" on the last drive of the game when we are taking a knee or losing a game that is completely out of reach where the opposition is just dicking around.

Bobblehead night!

Calvillo also played on some heavily loaded teams with great o-lines. Watching Ray play anywhere... he made magic out of chicken **** at times.

I kind of want a Canadian to line up who gets pushed back , is slow to the QB, and who can eventually join our coaching staff!

If he shows annnnnything in pre season then I hope they keep him over Wilson.

The CBC app?

I think Ryan can recover his image... she is probably going to be regulated to smaller films and roles. Both of them came off as horrible from this ordeal.

Hopefully he doesn't come off as a smug pr**k when interacting with the PBP guys.

These uniforms lasted 1 game :D

Ummm you are forgetting about this guy!

Does the AFL have only 9 teams where 8 make the play offs? This play off format does work... with at least 12 teams minimum. When you have a 89% chance of making the play offs... how does it not cheapen the season?

For Vancouver I'd assume a lack of interest from the mainly Indian and Chinese population in the area.

The Bomber fans will attend meaningless games because the experience at the game is great for all sorts of ages. The problem is that this only benefits Winnipeg and maybe Regina. It may get a better tv deal because of more games... but will the tv audience increases when 3 weeks out of the play offs the Argos sitting in 4th place are resting all of their star players and the B team is trotted out getting pounded by the #1 Blue Bombers? Will people in Toronto want to attend the game in person when they have a bazillion other options for entertainment. I know its apples and oranges.. but the UFC has a mega tv deal which is great for the company right now. However the product is suffering massively and they are having huge issues selling tickets and getting people to watch the product either when it was PPV or now on free tv. The product being diluted eventually will come back to bite the league in the butt. As I said before... this only works if they get more teams and the only way that happens is US expansion.

I highly doubt this. If the Bombers are clinched and have guys like Zach & Brady with minor injuries. I think the club would sit them and gladly have them at 100% and play a road game over trotting them out and possibly having them miss the play offs. I can also see casual fans just ignoring the regular season and tuning in come play offs since the regular season games at this point matter very little unless you are at the very top. Any time a league has done changes for the sake of "more tv" or "more revenue" it usually comes at the expense of the enjoyment of the fan. I understand the need for the league to make money... but this doesn't usually translate in a better end product. With the rule changes and this terrible play off format, they may as well do US expansion and eventually put a bullet in the CFL and try to merge with whatever UFL / XFL / ZFL league from the States.

My worry is that if a team is the drizzling poops (i.e. Ottawa), that teams 3 - 8 will sit guys for long periods of time so that everyone is fresh for this new long play off format. We might have late season games where the B squad is playing 2 - 3 games and the stars will be sitting on the sidelines.
