:als_red: Non-Alouettes CFL Talk

Forde has gotten better thanks to Marshall Ferguson, who is easily the best TSN commentator, raising the overall level across the board. There is more crunch to Forde’s commentary now, and to Suitor’s as well. I think Ferguson’s stellar work has forced the bar higher and shamed some of the old-timers into doing more than stating the blindingly obvious.

My two main complaints about TSN:

  • The stupid unnecessary human interest features they run in the middle of the damn game, sometimes even while a play is in progress. I hate it. Keep the features to halftime or pregame and concentrate on the football game in progress.
  • The fact that half their play-by-play people call the game perpetually as if viewers have just tuned in. All the way through. Not only does it show no respect for your own product, but it is annoying as hell for those of us who have been watching the whole game. I get doing some explanatory work at certain intervals, but constantly recapping stuff viewers already know if they’ve been watching for more than 15 minutes is terrible TV.

Le message n’est pas fort, la CFL dit vouloir protéger les qa.
Bonne partie ce soir, Go Als
La température va être ok, mais le vent peut déranger avec des rafales prévues de 30 km.

Curious how that went?

Merci de l’information, une situation à suivre…

Vous avez raison et oui la ligue doit faire mieux.

Un article du 10/08 dans 3DownNation, place à la jeunesse, un changement de qa qui s’imposait…pour Hamilton.

Ce soir, BC vs Edmonton.
Tre Ford vs Jake Dolegala qui débute la partie à la place de V. Adams jr qui est sur l’alignement mais qui s’est au genoux droit lors de la dernière partie contre Winnipeg.

Les Falcons ont libéré Nathan Rourke, un retour dans la CFL?
Un texte dans Caucusfootball du 11/08.

Wow, signed and released within a couple of weeks. I guess Atlanta’s coaches did not like his preseason performance…

Did anyone see Austin Mack in that game?

I feel badly for Rourke. They gave him a whole quarter of play, which is significant playing time. We’ll see if anyone else picks him up, but it feels like his NFL window is closing. Atlanta had seemed promising.

Not surprised. But I don’t know how they keep Adams and Rourke. Maybe for the rest of this season, but Adams will want out.

Adams will have no trouble finding a home in 2025. Calgary, Hamilton, Saskatchewan, and maybe even Toronto would be very viable destinations.

J’estime qu’Adams jr ne finira pas la saison avec BC. Hamilton voir Toronto sont des destinations plausibles à mes yeux. Edmonton, oui, mais la masse salariale semble déjà élevé quoiqu’on ne sait jamais. Mais là bas Adams jr serait un bon mentor pour Tre Ford, beaucoup plus que MBT.

I think they’ll stash Vernon on the 6-game for the rest of the season and come to an amicable release in the offseason. Then he can see which teams are interested.
