I saw a story on the Hunt fellow a few years back and how he's done so well with the 67 team. He would probably be the best option. From what I saw, the 67's are sold out every game, although they play in the tiny Civic Centre.

If Bill Palmer's group wins, I guess we at least know who their QB will be.

I also hope the rumor about the name Rough Riders coming back is true. The entire Renegades thing seemed so amateur. There's something uniquely Canadian about our league and having two teams with the same name is part of it. Laugh at that if you will.

Halifax will not support a CFL team. If they are set on expanding, Quebec City would be a much better option. I'm from down east and as much as I'd love to see a team down there and one that was successful on and off the field, they wouldn't get the support necessary over the long haul to make a move like that worth it.
