I get an ad at the top right now that says "Alberta seniors born between 1945-1983 get this benefit!" (Seniors!!!!???)

Sex Pest and The Rest roll into town as the Blue and Gold attempt to officially lock down hosting the West Final. Going to be one of the biggest parties of the year at Fort Hew tonight....

This. They think they're a world class city that deserves all the "major" sports and events. As with Toronto, they believe CFL is below them. Honestly there's probably more UFC fans than CFL fans in that city.

For what he had to work with (almost nothing... The organization was a mess) Taman did so much good work. Ya it seems wildly unprofessional by today's standards but that was where we were as a team at the time. I'll always go to bat for the work he did.

Maier McCheese doesn't really work as well since he dropped like 40lbs...

Sussman was always my favourite in the show. Really funny actor. He initially auditioned for one of the main characters, didn't get it, but they brought him back. Stole every scene he was in. I'd definitely watch this. Poseihn as the geologist was pretty good too.

That K Conn stat is truly remarkable...

I drafted the entire top line last night in my pool (against my better judgement) so the lack of scoring is my fault....

Not a single person called him an all time great... Just that he was underrated, which he definitely was outside of Winnipeg. He was a great route runner, pass catcher and exceptional blocker.

After that game I knew we were going to get to the cup but wasn't sure how the game would go. I told anyone who would listen that it was going to be Winnipeg vs Hamilton in the GC...

This is so insane I don't even know where to begin.... No respect on Deatrick Nichols who is maybe the best DB in the CFL???

Brady will at least get West MOP. Depending on how Montreal fares the last few weeks it's possible that Faj loses to Brady, but I still think he'll get the East MOP.

It's without question the Executive Producer that makes the call. All of the talent will have regular "one on one's" with the producer to talk about their performance and make adjustments as needed. So I'm sure Milt is being given instruction on not interrupting people and talking over the host especially.

Milligan doesn't deserve MODP and all of this MOP nonsense is going to 100% lead to him getting MODP as a "consolation" because Brady is going to win MOP.

Or Amazon...

Current forecast calls for Sunny and 17 during the day. Obviously a fair bit chillier by kickoff but still decent football weather for this time of year. Would be a great start to the turkey weekend to lock up that West Final...

Not sure if this belongs here, the TV thread or Movies thread, but .... Go watch the new Tragically Hip doc on Prime when you get a chance. Really well done.

From our guy @holoman...

You know who would be the perfect host but was canned a little while back? Cory Woron. I loved Randorf (my favourite CFL Panel Host ever) and Duthie was okay, except he ALWAYS wanted to turn everything into a "bit"... He was always looking for the next great comedy piece. They finally let him run wild with that in their hockey coverage, and it was..... A lot.

I'm hoping he means Milligan...

Can't seem to edit this on my phone... But that's the wrong tweet. That's the right one...

I respect the opinions expressed here... especially Voodoo... Which has some knowledge behind it. I'll say this, with my limited media production background, I believe in having the host be the straight man (or woman) always. Let the "characters" get the laughs... The host should just set them up for success. The other thing, and I believe this above all else, you have to just be yourself. If you try being something you're not (funny when you're not a funny person...) it shows and it is painful to watch. I feel this with Milt and Barker a lot when they're going way over the top... It's cringey at times. As for Laura vs Kate.... It's a matter of taste. They're both pros and good broadcasters. I personally find Kate to be a little over the top and too big of a personality for the host role, but that's just my personal taste.

I feel like the "Milligan Is MOP!" **** is a smokescreen to ensure he gets MODP, which again is a stretch to defend, when all of the Bombers D secondary has been so much better. But because of this buzz, they'll say "well we have to give him SOMETHING..."
