Figured maybe we could use a thread specific to the warmup game

Seen on Reddit:

“Just like last season, the Toronto Argonauts and visiting Montreal Alouettes will meet at BMO Field with a trip to the Grey Cup on the line in Saturday’s East Division final. This will be the third year in a row that the road to the championship game will go through Toronto.

For the Argonauts, their focus is on getting back to the big game. The Alouettes are looking to break a 13-year drought since their last Grey Cup appearance back in 2010, which was also when they won their last championship.

The Argonauts are back in the playoffs for a third-straight season with head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. Toronto is also hosting its third-straight East final and is looking to reach the Grey Cup for the third time in six seasons (the 2020 season was cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic).

The Alouettes, are making their third-straight appearance in the playoffs and first under new head coach Jason Maas. Montreal hasn’t won a divisional final since 2010, going 0-3 in that span — including two losses to the Argonauts.”

why does calvillo think faj can throw more than fifteen yard?

Even more inexcusable for Maas since he's had a front row seat for Faj over the past few seasons. He, like everyone else, knows the limitations.

Hearing French canadian football players speak is funny. I expect a hockey game to break out.

Does every Oline that Fajardo plays for stink, or does he make them look worse?

Every time they say Cote I think Sylvain 

KB with the no disrespect to Montreal but none of us would be surprised if the Argos flip the script in the 2nd half.

FU. I take it back. I do care who wins this game.

Both Ds are very good.

Everytime they say Ducoix, I think of Andre Lacroix. Hey, WHA blast from the past.

I keep thinking Oullette is Canadian. Mind you, he might be an Acadian descendant.

It's weird how I dislike BLM so much as a player, but really like him as an analyst.

His voice. Monotone & talks fast. I think listening to him over a complete season would be hard to do. 

I think Bo is putting together an audition video for  a job in media in Murica.

he's got everything they like. 

far more money than tsn.

Colour commentary would not be a good fit for that reason.  Panel position would be closer.

OR old school play by play guy.  Those monotone fast talkers were awesome.

I doubt it honestly.  He's gonna join the panel. I think he's been groomed for it a bit

I just hope LaPo stays in the studio. Gets out of coaching.

Yeah, I know. I just don't see his future being in the booth but in the studio.

Do you like him like him as an analyst, or do you like him how I like lapo as an analyst, which is mainly because it means he's not on the bombers sidelines

These guys stink.

yeah, the OL is letting Fajardo down.  that replay of all the sacks that TSN led the quarter with, the Als OL just could not establish and hold a pocket, it was getting crushed.

Als with a pick in FG range.

Everyone stroking Kelly made him feel like he was just that great.............................he is not

Kelly had all kinds of time in a clean pocket ... and threw it directly to the Als.   #mop

nice play by the Als to start the drive ... fake sweep and a quick pass to the flat.   widen that field, make some gaps.

Fajardo is awful.

Roll him the F out with Stanback leading the way. Jeebus.
