Brandon, Ritchie Hall is a Deadwood Ol' Boys Coach who will always find work. Put him in the same group as a lot of guys who just rotate thru CFL teams as coaches. It's all about who they are buddies with. Not how good they are. How can anyone say our defense didn't have talent?That's just an excuse for failure.

Hurl is O'Shea Jr? He's not even a 5th cousin twice removed when it comes to comparing the talent of O'Shea as a player to Hurl.

Well, that was Hall so he wanted to.

The Atlantic time zone Halifax is in is brutal. No matter what time or where a team from Halifax plays it'll be late back home for fans to watch.

Wrestling promotions over the years have always made Asian wrestlers out to be a bit wacked. A lot of racial stereotyping has always gone on.

I have no idea why this team just hangs onto deadwood coaches like Hall expecting them to pull off a miracle when they can't. He has a track record of bad defenses. There won't be any difference next season.

It's brutal. maybe they can invent a storyline where Jason Jordan dies & then comes back to life as the New Red Rooster or something.

Until the politicians get on board with this, it'll never go forward.

You said it. The word "desire". I don't think there is any.

Halifax is a famous city because of 2 World Wars but is it a world class city? Are pro leagues lining up to put a team in there? Nope for both. Lack of facilities. Lack of money. Lack of population. They could have had a CFL team in 1978 but people don't seem to care. Same issue 40 years ago as today. That is, no stadium & no real desire to build one. All Halifax & the Maritimes are known for when it comes to pro sports is a slew of failed AHL teams.

And... ratings will continue to fall. Treat fans like they're stupid & they'll go away.

He's being pushed too soon on fans tired of Vince or Hunter doing the same with Reigns. Reigns I can understand just because of his size but he's limited in the ring & fans know that so they boo. Jordan is talented no doubt but again, the push nobody wants to see. Let it happen on its own not because of Vince &/or Hunter.

Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan tag champs. Why is Jordan being pushed so much? It didn't work for Roman Reigns & it won't work for Jordan. So much for giving the fans what they want. Jordan could break a leg in the ring & it would be cheered.

That's the problem with the Maritimes. A lack of population as well as a lack of wealthy people to really make sure a CFL team is well financed from the start. Not enough of these individuals or families want to do this. A city the size of Halifax should have a 25,000 seat stadium already but the politicians & business community don't seem interested in getting it done. It'll be decades before anything is built (if ever) in Halifax. We'd all like to see a team there but it won't be happening soon. They'd have a better chance in SW Ontario like London or Kitchener. Or in Quebec City. At least the population is already there.

With Russia out of the Olympics as well as the KHL I guess we really do have a chance to win. I don't know how good of a change but does anyone care to prognosticate?

Gonna be a shitty tournament to watch. That & the games being played at 3 in the morning.

Sadly, he probably would have been a better GM in real life than Sasha Brown.

He wanted 6 Browns players to be pallbearers so "they could let him down one last time". The Browns never sent anyone which they probably should have as Scott Entsminger was a lifelong Browns fan who loved his team. It would have been a classy thing to do.

As bad as Jed York has been as an owner, I think he's trying honestly to be better although I'm sure most Niner fans still don't trust him as he pissed on the 49er tradition that his uncle built. . At least he's now making an effort to make his team better. The hiring of GM John Lynch & Kyle Shanahan looks to have been a good one especially with Lynch being able to trade for & acquire qb Jimmy Garappolo from the Patriots a month & a half earlier. Jimmy Haslam has been just a terrible owner of the Browns. Saying he's committed to building a winner yet he hires people in management like former GM Sashi Brown that have shown to be clueless using baseball style analytics to pass on qbs Carson Wentz in the 2016 NFL Draft & Deshaun Watson in last year's draft as he & his scouting staff felt their college stats showed both would not be successful as NFL qbs. They did draft qb Deshone Kizer out of Notre Dame in the second round of last years draft & his play especially yesterday where he threw for 314 yards vs the Steelers gives Browns fans some hope for the future. Signing an injury prone RG3 instead of drafting Wentz. The Browns drafting Johnny Manziel who became an embarrassment, team & PR nightmare in 2014. There were other bad personnel decisions & draft blunders over the years such as passing over college players like LeVeon Bell, Travis Kelce, Derek Carr, Kyle Long, Ryan Shazier, Jimmy Graham, Odell Beckham & Rob Gronkowski. Sashi Brown screwed up & had a trade nullified with the Bengals for their backup qb A.J. McCarron earlier this season because he failed to submit the proper paperwork to the NFL Head Office. The Browns are 10 times worse than the 49ers have been yet the fans in Cleveland still passionately support their team. All I can say to them is Bravo & well done. I can't help but respect the Browns fanbase immensely for what the continue to go through. That organization doesn't deserve loyalty like that. They deserve an empty stadium to play in 10 times a year. In a city where no one cares.

Survey says.... it will. Based on past performance. Why should next season be any different? Hall coaches a certain way with his own defensive philosophy. IF MOS & Walters want him to change than they might as well have fired him as he won't.

I can only imagine how ugly it's going to get in 2018 with fans & media if Hall stays & our defense sucks again.

Black Monday is expected down there. The NFL media just circles the carcasses after the season is done. Canadians are just so damned nice.

I think the Bomber fanbase is just as good. We have hung in there with decent crowds during some hideous years the past decade. We supported the Bombers better than the spoiled & entitled fans in Edmonton & Calgary as well as the disinterested fanbases in Vancouver & Toronto. Ottawa lost their teams twice during that time & Hamilton couldn't draw more than 15,000 for average attendance until they moved to THF.

Well, Xmas & New Year's is over. Back to reality of work tomorrow along with the rest of winter with the snow & cold till the end of March. To all of you who wanted a White Xmas. Oh, screw you.

I don't think the Browns could beat the Als. Just a terribly run organization.
