Forde for CFL commish please and thank you.

Motivational speaker you are not dear sir.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I know its not how you start but how you finish but securing a Jet W tonight would be a nice Thursday morning present for me to share blissfully with my Oiler fan colleagues here in Edmonton. 🙂

Yea like what market are they pandering to? If its the 9-12 year olds, they are greatly succeeding. Now that I think about it maybe this is their master plan, they're trying to attract Gen Z and Gen Alpha's in becoming CFL fans. Brilliant.

Just to be completely cynical, not give him the benefit of the doubt and he did it for the clicks and likes, he thought of the this meaning after the tremendous pushback he received.

I also remember Milt saying a few things on the broadcast, like showing up at someone's house he remarked, and Kate telling Milt he can't say that and him saying he can and the deathstare that Kate gave him afterwards. Anyways, they all, and I mean all involved in its production, share varying levels of blame of why this broadcast scores high on cringy crap.

Exactly in the same boat as you.

Here's hoping the Golden Knights and Maple Leafs miss making the playoffs this coming season by one point (clinking of glasses). 🙂

His 'fancy' stats are highlighted during gametape review.

At times, its like the actual game is getting in their way, being a nuisance of what they're wanting to focus on.

That’s one word I’ve had conflicting feelings with.

And this trend over the last while of showing less replays is bizarre to me. It's a staple to keep the viewer engaged unless of course I'm missing some sort of complexity.

Fair but does that mean they are throwing in Rutger cuz they determined he's ready regardless of their existing talent or cuz they have no other choice knowing in an ideal situation he's one or two years away?

Actually I believe he sent in his vote for Rourke (or replacement) for the next five consecutive years.

From Global, Ross Hobson “We don’t want these guys to force them into a situation where they crash and burn and we got to start all over again,” said Jets head coach Scott Arniel. “We’re doing this obviously because we need these guys. They are apart of our future. Crash and Burn versus Giving the kids an opportunity Winnipeg has a different threshold than Pittsburgh it seems.

Apparently Rutger will now that he changed sweaters.

Here hold my beer . . .

I greatly deteste the Riders but Milligan seems to be the real stuff. Also appreciated learning he’s actually pretty quiet and lets his playing talk for him. Thinking the Riders could benefit in having that a bit more.

Fair. That’s the beauty of life, most everything in life is subjective. For me I’m not caring about her looks and I’m not looking for nor expecting detailed football analysis from her. I’m looking for authentic non contrived genuine humorous hosting that she, in my opinion, is achieving the opposite that the other panel members feed off which is a whole other debate in what football people we need on these broadcasts. As for your bewilderment about people liking Laura, it’s quite simple, as Kate is the main host she is the bar we compare other hosts to. Laura can get better like anyone in any profession can but you say stale I say calm focussed authentic with minimal over the top nine year old humour.

Jones has been destroyed on every one of his catches tonight.

Be nice if TSN showed a few more replays but the one I saw looked like the ball hit the turf but you know TSN doesn’t believe in showing replays on important calls.

Questionable decisions by both inexperienced HC’s showing their nerves a bit I think.

I’ve always said at least temper it with a broadcasting partner who blatantly cheers for the other team. That at least would be entertaining than listening to a broadcasting homer cheer with no pushback. Straight fire needs to be doused or at least recalibrated with less cringy yelling.

My regularly week reminder that Jim Barker is insane. Jeebus.
