He was a good sport about it, I went up to him at the start and gave him the dead eye stare and said "You're going in kid.
I threw him into the Skelly drill and then into the scrimmage.

BMO was quite busy last night. Was there from about 830-1030pm. Lots of teams represented, except Montreal. I don’t remember seeing a single Als fan.
All the team houses seemed busy.
I will say though, it skewed quite a bit older. I’m in my early 30s and was among the younger people there. I’d definitely say the average age was mid40s. Maybe older.

It is becoming a problem for all professional sports. The average age of a baseball viewer is 57!

You realize you’ve just described CP’s demographics too, don’t you?

Just got back from the festival. Went with a buddy and his kids. There were A LOT of kids and families at the festival this afternoon. The kids/family zone was packed which was nice to see. Lots of kids sporting team gear as well. The whole park and BMO Center was packed, more than I anticipated, especially for an afternoon. I expect the team houses will be packed as we get later into the night. I was pleased with the set up overall and it was good to have everything in one area. I can only imagine how great this will be the next time we host a Grey Cup with the entertainment district and convention Center complete by then.

Yikes. I can’t see the logic in this decision.
@TSNDaveNaylor:
There is a good chance that the @TorontoArgos will retain head coach Corey Chamblin for 2020 with significant changes to his coaching staff as part of the plan. #CFL #Argos

It goes towards the management cap I would guess. He signed a multi year contract.

Gameday prediction: Winnipeg's D keeps it close, but Hamilton pulls away in the second half. 33-17, Evans wins the MVP.

Something just seems right when seeing Brian Williams doing an interview at the Grey Cup with the commissioner.

McMahon is still miles ahead of Molson Stadium in Mtl, and probably the big O.
Though Alberta is likely to fund the rerfurbs of both of those Montreal facilities with equalization payments.
