GAME THREAD Montreal @ Toronto

I think that's a great idea. Whitaker is a good receiver coming out of the back field so why couldn't he be more effective in place of Coombs. Or McDaniel getting some time there with Williams or Ralph in place of Posey or Sanders. I do get a little tired of seeing TD passes going through Posey's hands in the end zone.

I disagree about Posey. He caught a pair of TD passes as recently as Labour Day. Would love to see Williams and Noel split time at wide out with Whittaker playing slot. As stated earlier, the Colonel did not stand out in his first game.

IIRC, Posey dropped 1 possible TD catch this year in game 1 against Hamilton. Even that was not an easy catch. Over the opposite shoulder of which he was running his pattern. Catchable, but would be considered a hi-light reel catch.

WHAT????

Toronto FC hosted the MLS championship game last season.
This season they are likely going to win the Supporters Shield for best record in MLS, and until yesterday's loss, they were on track to record the best record in MLS history.

The Argonauts finished dead last in the CFL last year, and this year currently have a sub-.500 record.

How do you rationalize your statement above?

Maybe you need to watch the Simpson's episode on soccer... that says it all.

same for baseball. Both are slow. Did enjoy the Simpson soccer bit. I am sure you can find one for Baseball also.

Important thing is someone convinced the younger people to go watch the BJ's and MLS. Someone also convinced them to not go to the Argos. Rogers helped this along. We stand there scratching our heads as to why someone would think soccer or baseball are riveting sports? They must also think the athletes are so much better on Jays and TFC, faster, stronger, bigger then the other leagues in the city. What ever they think qualifies an athlete to St. Hood. Right now Argos have the best athletes in TO but keep this part a secret, won't you Bell?

The Simpsons clip is quite funny!

To be clear, I am not a soccer fan, and I absolutely detest baseball.
As stated by Argofan_1000, they are both boring to watch for the most part.

Nonetheless, both Toronto FC and the Blue Jays have had far more success in the past few years than the Argonauts. That is a fact.

We don't talk TFC on this forum.

I would rather watch CFL football any day, over any sport even in the SkyDome. Even when the Argos were as bad as they were last year I still love this game. I really feel perception is reality and that is why the league is where it is in Toronto. I have tried for many years to watch the NFL and follow that game but the game is not as exciting and dynamic. I love how you never know in the CFL if a game is over.
