Ah! Be still my heart! Red and White = Hemmingway. Great post! Can't wait until the Gades play Montreal on the 16th at good ol' Frank Clair. Don't have my seasons tix yet but apparently, they're in the mail!
And how were the new uniforms? I saw a pic of Burris in new uniform. There looks to be a bib around the neck to catch the drool/ blood.
I don't like that white line that makes it look like a bib....Take the line out and they look okay.
RedandWhite you've said it all.....ahhhhhhhhhhh CFL Football. 
oh , ya..........are you really for some.... REAL FOOTBALL?!
Are you really to say "ready" without touching your two front theeth with your tongue? :lol:

Copeland originally was a QB. But when a new guy named Peyton Manning arrived on his team in college, Copeland became the back-up. And he didn’t like being a back-up, so he reconverted into a WR right away to start every game. And he did. (Can you imagine Manning throwing TD passes to Copeland… must have been a great show!)
they must have shredded defences
i wouldnt feel to bad being booted by Manning... i mean hes only what.. one of the best QBs in NFL history... not bad
Manning sucks, he;s a great offensive co-ordinator and a terrible QB
how can the all-time single season TD leader be a terrible QB?.. especially in the NFL?... agreed that he is a great offensive co-ordinator.. you want to tell us what reasoning you have for saying he is a terrible QB?
I never liked P. Manning; ever since he created the Reform Party, essentially killing the Progressive Conservatives.
THAT P. Manning was a truly bad QB...
