Who will be the new CFL Commissioner?

Remember the same time they reported across the board THE LAST GREY CUP, in all papers and all stations. Thats what I thought when I saw the name Wayne Parrish, but said to myself...could not be.

From all that Wayne Parrish should be the perfect fit. The CFL got lucky when they hired Cohon, but other than that they have had a string of duds since Larry Smith, and he was questionable.

Larry Smith was a fabulous CFL Com, love the guy, he is at least responsible for setting up Montreal as we now know them, he was the key guy that is responsible for Montreal success, going into smaller stadium, getting corporate sponsors, guiding them for a number of years until they found their footing. US expansion almost worked, but regardless I love the guy

Not criticizing Larry Smith, who I think did a good job in very adverse circumstances, but I don't think he deserves credit for the Alouettes moving to McGill Stadium. That move was essentially forced upon the team by a conflicting booking (U2) at the Big O. They played a game there, discovered it was a charming, intimate venue, and the rest is history.
