IceCap Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Go Ti-Cats!Heck, as long as the team isn't called the RedBlacks, I'll be happySadly all signs point to them using that name.

NorthStar74 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not sure if I will like the name Ottawa Redblacks but as long as the team has a good logo (that Big R with the small B inside would be perfect enough but ehh)... as for the Bombers I do hope they have learnt their lessons and will be watching for sure... As for the Argos showing that old jersey I would love to see the old Argos boat logo be the main one, I like that logo so bring it back and replace that A shield logo...

walby2 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Judging by the lack of buzz, it's looking unlikely that Tim Tebow is going to Montreal to challenge Adrian McPherson for the backup job there.The general consensus seems to be that Tebow is not cut out for the CFL which is well known as a passing league, but I have to admit I'd be intrigued to see him suit up here. I mean, he couldn't be any worse than some of the stiffs that the Bombers (for example) have brought in as backups over the past few years. And the bigger field with more movement might give him a little more margin for error. It would certainly add a little spice to the 2013 season.

I can not imagine it to be nearly as much as in the States (lucky you) with his fundie fanboys but I am still curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal's GM Jim Popp said the Als would welcome Tebow to compete for a backup job which was obviously a huge buzzkill, and the story just kind of fizzled from there.I think there is probably more interest in having Tebow on a CFL roster than the league GMs let on... maybe Montreal isn't that keen on him given that they already have a living legend as a starter and a proven backup, but you can't tell me that there wouldn't be interest in having Tebow compete for a job in the cities that lack a bona fide undisputed starter. Edmonton and Winnipeg are the most obvious places in that category, but even Calgary and Saskatchewan could have room for him. Tebow has a big upside and his name could help sell some tickets.Montreal is likely asking a huge price for Tebow's CFL rights so not surprisingly the GMs who you'd think would be interested in making a deal are keeping their poker faces on for now.

NEW.ERA Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Tebow would only sell jerseys up here. Don't need that pity attention for this league, plus there's probably no chance of him doing well for maybe more than a season before the CFL lustre wears off, seen it many times before in this league.I like it the way everything is now.

Seadragon76 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hmm... Nice to see that they're doing another game in Moncton. Maybe it'll give the CFL a reason to give the Atlantic region another crack at a franchise there.I'm wondering though: Is there a chance to have a US network (say, NBC Sports Network) pick up some games again?

BigBubba Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The logo, save for the dumb "slicing" effect on the "R", isn't bad. The name, however, still blows. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGM13 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I guess that means three more titles for Toronto. Meanwhile the Eskies already released Jyles, the suckiest QB I've seen in the CFL in a while, and are now relying on Mike Rielly(who?) and Matt Nichols(backup anywhere else).

NEW.ERA Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I really like Mike Reilly. Hope he can get that job in Edmonton. Finally, a team with a worse QB situation than us Bombers. Look out if Buck can stay healthy for a full season, good things will happen! JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
