If Shreveport doesn't get a team again then no US cities should get one.

Why would you put a team in Detroit instead of Windsor.

I can see a team in Kitchener-Waterloo before either of St John's or Moncton. Halifax and Quebec City maybe. This is the Bomber's year... to go to the final and lose.

In 2001, the Bombers went to the Grey Cup and lost despite the fact they were odd-on favourites. In 2002, the Bombers used the marketing slogan "Unfinished Business" to acknowledge that they really should have beaten Marcus Crandell in 2001. I nominate the 2014 season be called "Unfinished Business pt. XIII"

Chicken posted:Could someone who follows the NFL tell me what are the chances that Sheets or Dressler actually make it? I'm pretty sure Dressler is back in green and white before the NFL season starts because he's sooooo tiny, but maybe Sheets becomes a backup RB for a really bad Oakland team. Update on Dressler if you're curious, things aren't looking good. He's in a group of five guys fighting for one or two roster spots and got a little more than half the snaps everyone else on that list did and never got a target, also only got one chance to return a kick and it wasn't a very good one (while a couple of the other guys did have nice returns).

Meanwhile Dontrelle Inman had a 70 yard catch and run(against 2nd and 3rd stringers) that should really give him a chance at making the 53 man roster for San Diego if not at least the practice squad.

Yes. And regardless of points, they will be seeded third. Assuming the season goes at the same rate it's going now, you'd see the 12-6 Roughriders play the 3-15 Tigercats in Hamilton for the honour of playing the 6-12 Argos in the East final.

I looked at the seasons wince the American expansion, and the best team not to make the playoffs was the Argos in 2000 with a 7-10-1 record. If the crossover rule wasn't around there would have been a few .500+ teams to not make the playoffs. The Lions were 11-7 in 2003.

I would love to see two teams tied for third play each other on the last day of the season. "Durant takes the snap and what's this? He's running full speed to his own end-zone! Oh my god he's taking a knee. The score is Saskatchewan 98, Edmonton 100. Every single point scored on safeties." Matt Dunigan would be going wild.

My favourite crossover possibility was closest to happening in 2001. Because the Ottawa Renegades were still a year off, Winnipeg was still in the East and thanks to a dominant 12 game win streak they were heavily favoured to make it to the Cup. The West was a bit of a poo poo show that year, and had a couple games towards the last two or three weeks of the season gone in a different direction, Toronto could have made a bit of history by being the first East team to cross over into the West. The Grey Cup that year was in Montreal. So there was a pretty decent chance that Toronto could have been the Western team in the final, matched up against Eastern finalist Winnipeg in a game to decide the championship of the Canadian Football League which was to be played in a province that has several times tried to leave the country.

Look for Ricky Ray bombs and a spread offence, with a slightly struggling defence because the Cup winning DC Chris Jones became the Eskimos head coach this offseason. Pinball is still technically an ambassador while being Vice Chair Executive so he shows up a lot. Anyway this weeks GDT is live! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3657382

Pinball is still technically an ambassador while being Vice Chair Executive so he shows up a lot. Ray seemed to be able to constantly find people wide open tonight. Is that a function of the spread offence, or a horrible defensive meltdown from Winnipeg? I'm guessing a bit of both. Also Toronto now has as many wins as the rest of the East combined, which is funny, I think.

A combination of Ray's talents in reading the defence and the complex versatility of Milanovich's spread. I really want to say that Winnipeg was playing quite well enough until the later parts of the halves, considering that Toronto's entire starting receiver core is out with injuries, but weren't reacting enough to Ray's adjustments. It's a kick in the gut for Bombers DC Gary Etcheverry in that a lot of yardage was able to be picked up on broken plays which his defence should be reacting well to for how aggressive it is. Gotta hand it to Tim Burke really shutting down Willy hard (23 for 31, 193 yards), and not allowing Winnipeg many scoring chances outside of the three drives that ended in touchdowns (Though one off a silly fumble). This was a game where Toronto was just fully prepared and caught out the Bombers in key moments.

Looks like Mark Cohon won't be returning as commissioner. I have no idea who would be in place to replace him, but I think we can all hope that it ends up being Matt Dunnigan on an interim basis for 3 weeks.
