Especially since Getzlaf will be in the crosshairs of Prider fanboy wrath. They always need a punching bag . Cortez is gone. Chamblin has a double coating of teflon and since Durant getting hurt was the sole reason, of course, riders went nowhere last year they certainly cant blame him...for now.

If you like a Corner who gets burned 3 times for every one flashy intereception Tisdale is your man.

"He gives a great interview !" Almost a year later and still makes me laugh

Sunseri : Prider nation hype machine chews up and spits out another victim.

Another NFLer who finds out you have to actually work hard to make it up here and its not a third world outpost for football where you can become the star overnight by just showing up ?

HAM QB Matthews looked eerily similar to Quinton Porter in looks and style but hopefully not the same future. Grigsby stunk.

Dear Players Union, We are still broke so dont get any ideas. Love, the Owners.

How silly to give an exact number. Why not just say "we're expecting a home playoff game" and leave it at that. Even the circle jerkers are wishing he dialed it back.

The whole thing is rubbish of course as the stadium from the very begininning was supposed to be dual purpose. But I can understand the anger of some soccer fans because a CFL fan would feel the same way if the roles were reversed and a perfect football stadium was altered and possibly made worse to accomodate something you disliked or didnt care about.

Cynic in me suggests this was a PR move to take stink away from Khalif Mitchell's brainwave .

**** you Rogers. PS . Your baseball team sucks too.

Why the falling out with the current regime ?

Can recall as a kid thinking how cheezy and bush it was that some of the american NHL teams had ads on the boards and pop music over the PA during play breaks and how it wouldnt fly in clean and pure Canada. Sorry but ads on shirts is the future for every pro sport.

A prominent TOR magazine had a story on Rogers "Canada's most hated company". There's a theory out there Rogers just might cave on the Argo sale just for image sake - they have been taking a beating on all fronts.

Let’s just stop pretending that 50% of the CFL’s players were born exclusively in Weyburn, Estevan, and Moose Jaw. Please." And a resounding amen that's not true.

Nary a day has gone by and its started.

Prediction : Prider fans will crap on it because the right players and/or coaches wont be praised or villified enough.

3DownNation.com launches May 4.

" 3 DownNation." Ham. Spectator's beat reporter explains it all. CFL reporters' stories and bloggers on one site. Sounds convenient if anything.

East : Its Hamilton's to lose. MTL - In HAMs rear view mirror but Al's defense will keep division honest. Loss of Carter is huge as he and Green made QB look good. Now rest of league's defenses will have less to worry about - and it will show. OTT- Feel good story this year. Lots of scoring but defense will be achilles heel and let them down at crunch time. TOR- If Ray cant go... West- CAL is cream of the crop until further notice. SSK - Dubious O-line but defense will keep them in the top three. Will love to hear the excuses now that Cortez was greyhound-ed WPG/EDM -Will duke it out all year with SSK too - horserace.. BC - Lulay health means everything. CAL/WPG emerge from west. HAM/ MTL - again. HAM / WPG - Grey Cup.

Sarcasm detector must be on low battery. One of my hobby horses is RogersBlujaysSportsnet's instituional bias towards the CFL

Reports of sale is imminent. Owners will also cough up the !0 mill. to renovate BMO field to accomodate CFL. Which is pretty bizarre considering Rogers Inc. has been telling me for a year Argos will never play at BMO, are "worthless" and no one would buy them. Please dont suggest Rogers has a corporate bias against the CFL because that is just silly.

Pre-debut hype around Sunseri was fun. After Willy's payoff was almost immediate, then coach killer Durants injury, they had to scramble and spin in the absence of any real evidence Sunseri was actually any good. So much so one the site's operators had to resort to "he's smart - gives a great interview !"

But he is more than a returner. Which is the point. He is an excellent multi dimensional player with the stats to back it up. I dont like the silliness either to to fluff him off as an average player who's being overrated is assinine.

Great player . OTT needs stars. Where will Desjardins sacrifice to make room for salary. Lots of expensive eggs in one basket.
