Good reason to watch the game...

Edmonton/Ottawa wouldn't be completely out of the question... Hamilton has a huge question mark at QB and Tor just isn't good enough... BC will lose badly to Cgy and Edm seems to finally have Cgy's number... this huge layoff could hurt them though... 2013 Season: Edmonton is 4-14, Ottawa doesn't exist and Winnipeg is 3-15... 2015 Season: Edmonton is 14-4, Ottawa is potentially 12-6, and Winnipeg is still pathetic....

it's sad that so many of us feel the same way... I fear this may be true... but hoping we're wrong...

After some time to reflect.... I'm not as mad about this choice as I was yesterday... while I am no fan of them, it seems like this is a pretty good get for the CFL... the beer lines will probably be long during half time anyways....

that sounds like a country singer... am I close?... He can't possibly be as bad as the guy who did the kick-off show last year

I don't normally get too bothered by half time performers... I thought Imagine Dragons was ok last year... I was just hoping for something that I would enjoy since I'll actually be there... but alas, such are the breaks... I've calmed down now, probably would've been beneficial if I wasn't near a computer at the time of this announcement

I've just never been a fan of the emo pop-punk genre... just listening to these songs Jpan posted... sounds like they've added some electronic, auto-tune stuff into their music... which IMO downgrades it even more... though Uma Thurman is a funny song title... with a band like this it just seems like theatrics and entertainment are more important than the actual music... How this for a timely reference... wasn't the bass player dating (married??) to Jessica Simpson's sister??... yeah that's right, the kids say I'm hip... and I'm only 29... I can imagine what the 50+ crowd thinks of this announcement...

I guess I should start listening to hot 103 more often... just kidding, I know it's called Virgin Radio now .... I'm not that out of touch...

a pop-punk band that was popular 10 years ago... that's fine if you're ok with that... I'm not... I don't pretend to be a modern pop music expert... but I honestly haven't heard these guys in the news in years...

You gotta be kidding me.... I couldn't have imagined it could possibly be this bad... were they trying to cater to 15 year old girls from 2005... who are now 25 year old girls who no longer give a **** about fallout boy or give a **** about football...

Even two years ago Edm. swept the Bombers, so they were never quite as bad. I think they had a similar record though. Edm 4-14, Wpg 3-15

Same thing (similar) happened at a school in Alberta... I'll post the link if I can find it...

if he's good enough, one thing could be a major advantage in the playoffs... start one game as a righty and then be available the next couple games as a lefty in the bullpen...

I think you're in serious trouble if you're throwing 200 pitches in one game...

actually Buck Cherry wouldn't be a terrible choice... they only play 3ish songs anyways... come out and play "crazy *****" and "lit up" and I'm sure they have another popular song... good party band heard this rumour floating around too... would be underwhelming... speaking of underwhelmed, Sloan would be a cool choice... referring to the song underwhelmed, not the feeling... EDIT: just read that TrueBlue reminded us it's not a Canadian act... so forget the Watchmen and Sloan...

yeah I find it hard to believe he "resigned"... pretty sure he was pushed out the door...

cfl.ca is really quite pathetic... I can't think of another word to describe it...

I wish I could argue... but you're bang on...

I saw the Lawerence hit and I have no problem with it... if Hank hadn't jumped as he was throwing the contact point would have been exactly in the hip/waist area... the timing was fine... the Westerman hit was much worse... though likely unintentional... but he got a 15 yard penalty on the play and a max fine... he "did the time" so to speak...

Brady has always played on a good team with a pretty good offensive line. Plus he gets rid of the ball fast. Brady is a special case... so is Manning... he never gets hit hard cuz he just concedes and goes down when he knows he's about to get sacked... both players depend on good o-lines and quick release timing offenses... Unfortunately we will never see a QB with the talent level of Brady or Manning in the CFL...

What about a list of guys who we all think definitely should be back... here's what I think OL- Bryant, Chungh, Goossen QB - Willy RB - Marshall WR - Kolhert, Denmark (mostly cuz we need some vets back but realistically we could afford to replace every WR on this team) FB - Pointbriand, Normand (b/c he's a rookie) DL - Westerman, Thomas LB - Bass, Leggett, Randle, Waggoner DB - Adams, B. Johnson obviously I know we won't turn over that many players... but if anyone other than the above listed is gone... I'm ok with that... I probably missed a few key guys, feel free to weigh in...

Thanks... if this is accurate then I agree... there's no way he'll be taking a GM job at this point in his career...

I don't know (nor will I pretend to know) anything about Paul Jones... other than what's in his bio.... but I'm just curious what makes you think (know) he would absolutely never come here?

Wouldn't mind seeing Davis play QB... I would also like to see some of the PR guys play... I have zero interest in seeing Brohm play ever again... we know what he is... a bad QB...

My take... Ottawa - I wouldn't be mad if they won... certainly bitter... Toronto - I won't be cheering for them... but don't care if they win Hamilton - they have the only thing remotely close to our non-grey cup streak... their last win was 1999... so I don't want them to win... Edmonton - I'll probably cheer for them all the way... this 3 week layoff they're about to have, I think, will be hazardous... Calgary - I'll cheer for them if they make the finals... BC - they'll get smoked by Calgary in round 1 anyway...
