Question for Toppy Vann on if he is on speaking terms with Lui Passaglia would he ask about the kickoff return of 42 yds credited to him as per his CFL career stats. May have been in his first year when I am sure he was quite an athlete. With such a good return it surprises me he only got one to hi...

I don't quite get peoples' faith in/loyalty to Campbell here. * Team has come out flat on numerous occasions this season, even during the 5-1 stretch. * We are the worst 3rd quarter team (point differential) in the CFL. That means poor halftime adjustments. * How many missed challenges have we seen...

Pretty amazing Monday Nighter. How many finishes have you seen like this one? Eagles have the game wrapped up with very little time left, and then they blow it. Bad play call and awful drop by Saquon Barkley. And then just a great finish by Kirk Cousins for a 22-21 Falcons win. I thought I was watc...

My concern if we lose to Hamilton is this. We will have gone 2-7 since July featuring losses going into and out of two bye weeks. The 6 losses (thus far) during this stretch have featured all manner of blowouts and lackluster efforts. In other words, I thought "rock bottom" was in Winnipe...

Some fans of the CFL (alleged fans) are out in full rage against the CFL in response to this. It's this kind of stuff that gains traction to make a bigger issue of things like the Command Centre and refereeing that really is not a big deal. But if it takes off and gains traction which it has a bit l...

Quite simply, an offence cannot run the football inside the tackles successfully on a consistent basis unless they are able to stretch out the defensive line. How to do that? Its quite simple. The running attack has to attack the edges with outside zone read plays, reverses, fly sweeps etc. if in t...

Sure, but who are you going to replace him with? To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a CFL football guru-slash-savior waiting in the wings with a ready-made staff. This is what we have for this year. My concern is the club's alarming lack of preparedness and wildly uneven motivation (Victoria ...

From the end zone I could see the Lions challenge on the second play of the game was poor. But so was the Argo's challenge poor. The Lions coaching staff had a good view of that play and it didn't look like it would get overturned. While I didn't know Mackie was injured until home after the game I s...

There is zero chance of that. It takes a suicidal tendency for a GM to trade away the most precious CFL commodity, QB depth, in a Grey Cup hosting year. Only exception would be if the host team was hopelessly out of playoff contention. They will deal with the VA question in the offseason. He still ...

From a players perspective, it's hardly a hardship. From TSN's perspective it's to keep fans tuned in. It helps fans to get to know players and coaches and interviews like that help. Not all easterners are going to stay up post game to see the Sport Centre interviews. If there was a distraction in a...

I can't see that BC would want Jake Maier given his trajectory since taking over as starter from BLM. At least, I hope not lol Yah, the only way I could see letting VA go mid season is giving him a new shot given what he's given to BC and if the brain trust in BC think he'd end up there next year an...

The only thing sure in technology rulings are line calls in tennis tourneys that employ this. We can't expect TSN to do more than offer up what they can as there are numerous camera angles to contend with. There have been some technical glitches where u can't always hear the explanation and some scr...

This recent photo of Pierre Polievre tells me all I need to know. Screen Shot 2024-07-11 at 12.21.40 PM This article is more than 4 months old News Pierre Poilievre Meets with Far-Right Extremist Group at Nova Scotia-New Brunswick Border “Everyone’s happy with what you’re doing,” Poilievre tells con...

Vernon Adams discussion is a tough topic given what he's done for this team including taken many beatings physically before Maksymic would consider any variations on the run/blocking and play calling schemes. Also, he's the most natural starter if Rourke gets a bad hit or two. I'm not sure which of ...

I kind of thought given the TSN original coverage (and replays) that Stanback had fumbled. But I had an opposite feeling on the onside kick overturn. In those views TSN showed it didn't make sense to give Montreal the ball. The new guidelines of not slowing it down to see an infraction has an upside...
