What I'm wondering is if Ottawa will actually make it to the regular season...

 

[De Lorimier]

The Alouettes will be the best team in the league, finishing first in the East and lose in the playoffs. They have become the Atlanta Braves of the CFL. Great teams who won once during a very long period of dominance. It pisses me off.

I'm not a huge fan of CFL football. I love going at the games at McGill stadium. The atmosphere is great and the games are always fun to watch. My interest for this league ends there. I never watch it on tv and I'm not a real fan. More like an occasional friend.

What I'm wondering is if Ottawa will actually make it to the regular season...

I did not keep up with the season all winter long .... started to read on it yesterday.

Do they intend to take 1 team out to balance the divisions? All I know from Ottawa is that Joe Paopao Is not supposed to be the head coach this year!

I'd love to see a team in quebec city and another one for the maritimes!

If pro football survives in Ottawa, it will be a minor miracle. I haven't been able to garner any kind of interest and loyalty for the Rough Riders 2.0, and seeing as I was a pretty hard core fan of the original bumblers, that's saying something....

I think Toronto, Hamilton, while improved clubs, are still a step behind the Als. In the West, I can't say. I'm going with B.C., but I haven't looked into it.

Grey Cup: in a surprise, Saskatchewan wins against Montreal.

The Riders better not win, otherwise I will never hear the end of it from all the Saskatechewaners in Calgary.

Esks make veteran kicker Fleming an offer he can't refuse after tough 2005
Sean Fleming didn't expect a three-year contract offer from the Edmonton Eskimos, especially on the heels of his most trying season in the Canadian Football League.

CALL HIM A QUARTERBACK
The Toronto Argonauts love collecting Heisman Trophy winners almost as much as they do Grey Cups.

The Edmonton Eskimos trade QB Danny McManus to the Calgary Stampeders for 3rd round draft pick.

HAH, thier letting Eric Crouch play QB? I guess you dont need to throw deep or accurately in the CFL

Kidding of course, but this guy really needs to learn that Nebraska QB = very little anywhere else. He could make a good DB or WR if he actually applied himself and stopped being...well, you know.

 

[Raisin Bran]

I wonder what Mc manus is going to be like. last year Danny Wimprine did good with the stamps.

Mc manus has another good year ..... I feel hes loosing the touch.

Did I ever Hate him with the ti-cats, always winning over Montreal few years ago!

Sutherland one of four University of Saskatchewan products at CFL Evaluation Camp
University of Saskatchewan offensive lineman Chris Sutherland didn’t have fond memories of his previous visit to Southern Ontario, and likely won’t reflect warmly on his most recent trip to the area.

Alouettes sign Quincy Carter

What's happening to Calvillo?

 

[Raisin Bran]

What's happening to Calvillo?

Nothing he's staying #1.

The Al's are doing it again, if Carter is real good, Montréal is going to have, again, The best #1 quarter-back AND the best #2 quarter-back in the league.

When Ham was at the #1 montreal had calvillo as a back-up and back then the Al's had the best #1 and #2 quarter-backs.

Last year the stampeders found a good quarter-back in Wimprine, they needed the back-up, think they will use him good this year!
