  1. Double dose of 'crotchety pills' today?
  2. Always up for more Canadians...
  3. Don't know why I ever watched this in the first place... but at 1:20, the Toronto marketing guy talks about how they 'scaled back' Reebook's initial suggestions to change the team colours more towards the 'city colours' - whatever that means... http://www.cfl.ca/article/bold-blue-look-argos-unveil-cfl-signature-uniform
  4. Do Bombers and Sask sell that much more merch than other teams...? Maybe this was CFL trying to level the playing field
  5. I call BS... Toronto said they rejected Reebok's first ideas - that designed changed the Argo colours...
  6. Taman deferred $300k to a year where the cap increased by $600k... sounds brilliant actually.
  7. All these new unis seems super tight - everyone looks fat and the shoulder pads have shadows that look like manboobs. It's just you The shoulder pads would explain why it was so hard getting in and out of my car today.

  9. I watched the Toronto Reebok promo and their marketing guy said that Reebok wanted to make jerseys based on the Toronto flag (blue, white with red maple leaf). TO Marketing crew rejected it because it wasn't Argo colours...
  10. Purple onesies? The Winnipeg Rifles just schooled Reebok.
  11. I'll be pretty stoked when we end up over the cap after signing Dressler, Sheets, Bilukidi and Mulumba.
  12. Alexander sure has been a disappointment... 'Muscle strain' has been a problem for two years now. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't ever see him hit the field.
  13. Well, I guess we will see what happens... Geroy, Shologan, Anderson are gone, but who knows what was backloaded. This just reminds me of last year's threads where all through the season everyone barked about Taman mismanaging the cap and not any space left and he just kept signing guys... GC always rags on Taman - pretty sure Taman 2014 has learned something after like 15 years in the league... we'll see.
  14. Sask already re-signed TBrack and he's old enough that his next contract will be lower. They lost guys too. I mean where do you think Sheets and Dressler's cap hits went...? Sam Hurl? Taman has space even if he backloaded stuff last year. Rookie RBs, LBs, REC... As for Toronto, I'm supposed to believe that Barnes, Durie, Owens, Emry don't take up a ton of space? Okey-dokey.
  15. He sold his house in Regina in the offseason and his girlfriend now lives with him. Unless she has a piano tied to her arse she can move with him elsewhere in the CFL. You are probably right that he ends up back in Regina, but it won't be the no-brainer you think it is. There are 2 teams who have already confirmed they will be throwing their hat in the ring on Dressler. (Ottawa and Toronto)...wouldn't surprise me if there are more. It never ceases to amaze me how Rider fans seem to think there team and city is some kind of Shangri-La that players would never consider leaving elsewhere for. Heard the same tripe about Andy Fantuz, Craig Butler, etc etc. Taman will need to break out the cheque book in a big way for Dressler, if he doesn't he will lose him to someone else. Unfortunately for the RIders that probably handcuffs them if Sheets comes back or in renegotiating new contracts for guys like Chick, TBrack etc. before FA. Taman may be considered a hero now over there, but they are about to find out that his long term SMS strategy is not fundamentally sound. So how would Toronto be able to offer any more money than Sask? They have just as many big names to 're-sign'... would think Sask has the advantage in that people actually show up to their games.
  16. Like installing an actual run game?
  17. My top is well secured..... Just not impressed with that look, even on a limited basis.....for the club I've supported for 47 years (ISO's comment above) Not even against "change", in the general concept....if it is done with some style and class. and yes, if people like this, and are willing to pay the freight.....more power to them. These jersies aren't for you, or Iso, or anyone else who's supported the club for years and years. It's an attempt to make the CFL relevant to younger people. How does a bowling ball helmet, or tartan, or Watermellon make the CFL relevant to younger people? Hipsters, TBurg, Hipsters...!
  18. What's that based on? Just curious. He hates the french.
  19. Bowling ball helmet... on the bright side, could be a Big Lebowski themed uni
  20. Milo placekicking and punting, Palardy only kicking field goals would work
  21. Like subsitute Navy Blue on Blue with a bit of gold and a W on the BC jerseys...? No one would ever think of that.
  22. Zombie special forces sounds cool actually. Makes me look at the helmet in a whole new light. But in that light, its still ugly.
  23. Stop exaggerating... that's only like the 900th time you've said that.
  24. If Dressler or Sheets shake loose, I sure hope they are deemed to 'fit' with our system... but if Moore signed for 190, Dressler is probably 250
