Presumably he wasn't "juiced" for weeks now after the failed test came out and seemed to do just fine, didn't he?

Presumably?

If you think he did just a small amount and just happened to get caught, you're pretty naive.

While that certainly could be the case, why would he? As you said, he was doing "just fine". It's more believable that he's probably done several cycles but either hasn't been tested (although I read he had been tested before) or he's cycling under the care of a physician to beat the tests. Again, I have nothing to back that up and it's my opinion. My narrative parallels with several documentaries on doping.

Why isn’t Montreal vs Ottawa a Labour Day rivalry? Seems like a no brainer to have a double header Sunday and Monday.

There's no tradition and while I don't have statistical proof I would imagine attendance is generally down on long weekends outside of labour day where there's some tradition in the matchups.

Mitchell will start the game and take the first offensive snap.

Arbuckle will then come in and throw for 500+ yards and six touchdown passes?

I still don't get why the Stamps put in Flutie for the 1 play before handing it off to Garcia.

Was it to please the fans in the stands?

And to give Flutie a handing the torch moment.

Looks like the stamps got 31k at years LDC so it’s a possibility assuming the weather is good. A bit crazy to think that they used to sell out regular season games against Edmonton and Sask up until a few years ago. I wouldnt mind seeing them tarp over some of the bleacher seats and drop ticket prices by 20% to build a bit more of an atmosphere.

I imagine you are right, but you can take those common sense and realistic thoughts of yours and get the heck out of here and allow us Stamps fans to dream about Singleton back in Stamps silks good sir.

I'd imagine Calgary will be his first choice due to familiarity with city/friends/teammates etc.

If Alex doesn’t get any NFL interest, I’m sure Calgary has the cap room to bring him in.

Defend the Cup at home? No brainer imo...
