You'd say whatever the crowd wanted too, if William Shatner was standing three feet away from you with a phaser pointed at your head.

Being that Halifax is on the ocean, and boats are a big part of their heritage and voyages started or ended there, how about the Argonauts.  It's not like 99.99999% of Torontonians would notice or care.

Hey maybe The Fever pulls a Sean Sailsbury cirac 1988.

Forget Salisbury; you could put Sean Connery in, if we had 1988's wrecking crew of a defense on this team.

The Glieberguys set new standards for utterly incompetent ownership. I remember being embarrassed for the Ottawa fans and the whole league.

I once had a nasty case of Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, so I was prescribed tincture of Horn Chen by an Asian Apothecary....I then learned the truth.

Hall's defence did fine against Edmonton in the regular season. Oh sure some yards were given up but the Bombers were in control of the game both times. 

Plus we're already in Maas' head with the prospect of facing our hurry up offense. No opposing team had more problems with it than the Eskies.

If they hurry and  hire Marcel now, they may still get a shot at Timid Tim Burke in a two-fer.

Hypothermia must have set in at the stumps bench....they sure looked like they didn't want to be there....Us on the other hand seemed to relish in it...especially big Okpalaugo  and Jeffcoat.........great game by those two.... Shout out to Nevis as well...best he's played all year...And what can you say about Andrew....he ground out a ground game in that slippery stuff and watched his counterpart on the stamps slip ..slip...slide away and was totally ineffective...Harris deserved that record..especially in those conditions....Have to turn our attention to the Sask./Edm. game now ,to see who wants to face us or go chicken and head east....Like very much how we played that one....now can we string together 3 more....Man that would be nice and a long time coming

The Calgary equipment guy should be slapped upside the head, or worse. Not only does the wrong footwear make you ineffective, it can be freaking dangerous. Messam could have easily torn something.

Funny how a mediocre quarterback can make an OL looks like crap... pat Del Monaco must have had bomber flashbacks

You can say that again.

 

I'm not convinced that we won't see Darvin back.

What a shot in the arm that would be!

Demski would be a nice add as a receiver/running back/returner.

You mean a hybrid like....say....Flanders?

If anything, I see a gentle nudge from management for Hall to retire with a replacement coming from within. He is too respected by management to be canned.

Before anyone says that an internal coach taking the leap to Richie's position is crazy talk, remember how many of us thought that Bob Wylie would be irreplaceable.

Of course, if we can juggle the ratio (see Demski) and replace Hurl with a moderately competent import, then Richie's future looks a lot brighter

 

Would love to see Neuf get a little redemption today.

Cryders keep on trotting out this "rebuild" language, like it is an acceptable and necessary move on their part. Who's to say that they wouldn't have reached the unremarkable level they currently sit at, by making less drastic change than they have over the past few years.

Just because you choose to gut a team of its existing players doesn't mean that management shouldn't be held accountable for wins and losses. Once they have to pay market value for next year's QB, you will see many of the other more costly pieces on their roster not being resigned. Looking forward to seeing who won't be back from the current roster if they have to fork out for Franklin, Collaros, Lulay, etc

Money is going to be a massive issue for Jones next year. Half his team is coming off their rookie contracts.

Not to mention that a pretty penny will have to be paid for a higher priced QB than they currently are spending on that position....or else roll with the Banks’ and Glenns’ of the world.

no...the interview in the link is Carter....he's short some marbles

He's not the brightest button on the blouse.

The hit on Adams looked much worse from the stands than when I got home to watch via PVR.

It was more that Darvin was going full clip into the defender and was stopped very suddenly with a shoulder to shoulder. The defender was not running at him with a full head of steam.....But of course, a fluke injury can happen anytime (see Mo).

Also when he was leaving the field, he was not supporting his left arm. No way anyone with a fracture/dislocation is going to trot off without favouring or supporting the limb with the other arm, or at least holding it close to his body (depending on the type of injury).

Today would be a good time to get some unexpectedly good play from Normand.

According to Tait, Flanders has been 6 gamed.

Maas... what a nutbar. He's gonna give himself a Doug Berry sized ulcer.

Pretty big ulcer...about 5' 10"?

It may be warm out today, but don't fool yourself;  this is October football.

Our two headed rushing attack is about to kick it up for the playoff push.

If it's the Riders, then no, no its not.  It will in fact be one of the greatest events in CFL history  and I pray there will be a commemorative plaque made to honour it because I'll buy two.

I will take your thoughtful plan for twin plaques;....cut a bum-size hole in one....paint them bile green....attach them together with bailing wire ....and use them as a turlet seat for my Uncle Jebediah's outhouse.
