Acadia won one?

We landed about a dozen monster pike and inconnu up here today.
Love the salmon though.

Are there many angles out there?

I wish I could believe in that 'hopefully'. No matter what we hang on to over the next 5 years I see the league going full NFL before 10 years is up. This makes me very sad as it is
another bit of Canadian culture ground down to an unimaginative replica of something from the USA.

I'm reminded of a maxim of linguists that a language is a dialect with a navy. 4 downs is the way football is spoken and there can be no other way. Now another feature of our culture gets to be defined by the might of American capital.

It won't bring in anyone! It's not my take but I'll repeat it. After this game looks like shit they'll add a fourth down and then it'll be turned in to NFL d league.. Man, this has me bummed out

I just spent an hour explaining to my wife why I'm considering packing it in...it took a lot of explaining and went deep into my frustration with English Canadian culture. I'm just sad. I'll be writing to my lions front office and they'll try to put a shine on it like all the media is doing atm.

I appreciate your optimism and lack of panic. I wish I felt similarly. I can't help but feel this is just half a step toward going full NFL though. And the fact that luke Wilson likes this proves my theory that he was just a plant in there to soften up such a shakeup. Plus it really screws usports.

Post more of your CFL thoughts and opinions.

Things went off for the Argos too! I lost a lot of money on that fact.

Be careful - they can have sharp edges.

Do they have those hard little soaps?

Thought I saw my last Beckers in London 30 years ago.

Probably THE last pass by brown for a while

If cathal had ever been to a grey cup he’d find people who would ask him where he’s from and be interested the way he says they do in the UK.

Kelly will never stand up for anything….Content always to bemoan the absence of culture and spirit in Canada and never willing to put his neck out there and defend something truly unique and spirited like the CFL.

Any stats on Roy Lyster? Where did he play his college ball?

I just wish he saw a bit more daylight and we got to see him run out of steam as the end-zone approached.

I love that high steppin Darta Lee!

Squeeze it Lewis.

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

He’s playing the β€˜I’m too cool for this’ card indeed. It’s in the ironic moustache, the ill-fitting suits and the hair. This is a joke for him until he gets a spot on some douche bag barstool podcast and TSN is only too happy to have a real live former nfl player talk about the CFL until he bolts.
