One of the best hosts around who has some personality but can keep the focus on the product is actually Rod Black. Terrible at Play-by-Play but great host and naturally funny.

Yeah I liked the podcast stuff and eventually when they had sort of the Jay and Dan (now just Jay) version of Sportscentre along with the more typical version. The whole issue for me is that the sports are the star of the show. Yeah you need presenters to read the highlights/intro the panel and they need some personality but it's a pretty fine line before it's just attention seeking nonsense. If someone like Beirness wants to be a star find an open mic night somewhere or get one of the ESPN/Landsberg type shows where the hosts are the focal point.

The comparison to the big league teams is absurd. You're talking best in the world leagues vs the CFL. The CFL are going to be behind the NFL and SEC/Big Ten/Big 12 football in profitability no matter what they do. So if you're looking at the Leafs, the most profitable hockey team in the world versus the CFL you're nuts. If you can't come to terms with that sell the team.

Beirness has major Jay and Dan FOMO. She wants to be it but she doesn't have it so it's all just painfully awkward unfunny garbage. CFL on TSN needs a host.

Will be interesting to see how this hashmark change goes. The rocket armed QB's (like that big goon the Riders have on the sidelines from Central Connecticut) might have more of an advantage over the dual threat types who can't get a throw out to the sideline now. Harder to run the common concepts that have formed the base of the CFL offenses for past couple decades, the Trestman West Coast inspired stuff and the June Jones Run and Shoot 3 man routes to the boundary stuff.

So much effort to get the ball to the boundary for Fajardo. The hashmark change is going to kill some of these QB's with weak arms.

The quarterback.

Davis Alexander was the Montreal QB. Can't imagine they'll keep Dom Davis around.

Liked that 4th Montreal QB. Whoever is scouting QB's for Ottawa needs to find someone who can pass. Overprioritizing mobility.

Lapolice should lose his first regular season challenge for this.

The Ottawa kicker Maltos is better than Mourtada and a Global player. If they cut him we should sign him and if not I'd deal our next pick in the kicker draft for him. Could run Maltos as placekicker, Liegghio as punter. Both are capable of doing both jobs.

Richie Hall has taken how many rookie/castoff DBs and turned them to all-stars? Right back to BA and Fogg with us.

Yeah but Jyles had already proven he wasn’t going to reach his ceiling and had two serious injuries at the end of his time here (throwing shoulder) and with Toronto when Johnny Sears cleaned his clock. Everyone here was shocked we got the 4th overall pick in the trade for him. I mean part of those import for import training camp deals is always that both guys are likely cuts…meaning Toronto was likely to cut Darby.

Punts and convert too. Can't punt for ****. Less distance on all kicks than Liegghio.

I hope Liegghio has won both kicking jobs. Not sure why Mourtada is still here. Even if we're going import/global for either spot we need to find much better than Mourtada.

Once Buck got a feel for Collaros ability to go downfield (like 10 plus yards) and gave up on the West Coast inspired crap we had the best O and D and were unbeatable. Lapo brings a great team to good and a bad team to average.

Lapo wasn’t here last year.

Sort of but the guy has to be a threat to out run the coverage/DBs and make a contested catch. We’re really talking about one route in the “take the top off” guy. The reason why Lapo is always horny to have one guy like that is for spacing and sure it makes sense to open up a dig or out but the field is also wide so unless the guy is an actual threat the D moves to worry about the actual threats.

Yeah I’m not sure Jamarion is the take top off guy either, more of a shifty guy than a top end speed guy.

Prukop would start in the USFL. That league is awful.

Prukop settled down about 5 series in passing-wise but he's not going to have that luxury if Collaros goes down and we need him to play.

Just torched a 12th round pick out of Windsor at corner.

Koczwara...not a centre.

Not sure how 79 avoids a UR there. Prukop downed twice and helmet ripped off.

"Half the distance to the Skoal" Ref is hooked.
