Terry Jones: Despite the exciting possibility of a Battle of Alberta Grey Cup, CFL can't abandon East-West format

Quote:

Would an Edmonton-Calgary Grey Cup game inspire the end of the traditional East-West format for the future and the arrival of the one-league concept?

Comeback? There's still time.

Twas not to be.
Go Redblacks because ABC

Anyone But Calgary indeed!

Coldrsx · #**205** Posted **Nov 20, 2016, 11:04 PM**

Calgary is by far the best team this year, they deserve it.

McBoo · #**206** Posted **Nov 21, 2016, 5:56 PM**

Frustrating; a combination of everything wrong with the Esks this year with an added dose of terrible coaching decisions.

Alas, as Terry Jones pointed out, nothing that Ed Hervey, if he wants, can't fix with some off-season signings.

Next year, and hopefully next year too, Chris Jones and the Saskatchewan Eskiriders will finish dead last again.

Go Red Blacks......

U of A men's soccer team are national champions. Well done, and another notch on the belt for the City of Champions.

Indeed they are and are a young team... so expect some more finals/championships to come!

The Russell Effect continues for the Oil!

Coldrsx · #**212** Posted **Nov 22, 2016, 4:48 AM**

What a hit!

Black Star · #**213** Posted **Nov 22, 2016, 7:33 AM**

Best hit from the Oil this season. And oh yeah....pretty good win also

Russel is by far the best pick up Oilers have done this year. Watching him play D really shows how amateur the rest of our D really has been.

I may be saying this too soon, but funny have the Oil's five game losing streak ended at the same time Russel was back in the line up....

Really hope he stays healthy, he is a our number one defenseman we needed.

Coldrsx · #**216** Posted **Nov 22, 2016, 5:01 PM**

^100% agreed... he is so damn solid in every single way.

Rocket252 · #**217** Posted **Nov 22, 2016, 5:34 PM**

^ And I think the other D-men play better when he is in the lineup.

a solid win for picking him up

Newest NHL team? The Vegas Golden Knights.

So it's not as bad as "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim" and thankfully they avoid going with something that appeals to redneck children as per the trend with most new sports teams, but it's such a laughably bland name. And the logo wants to make me yell "THIS IS SPARTA!!"

Xelebes · #**219** Posted **Nov 23, 2016, 5:54 AM**

They couldn't use Black Knights. That's the US Army team name.

hilman · #**220** Posted **Nov 23, 2016, 6:12 AM**

Love the logo, loathe the name.
