Speaker 1: Well, let's see if we remember how to do this.
Speaker 2: I did not realize five weeks off here, Hussey and
Speaker 2: I were going to kind of stack our bye weeks.
Speaker 1: A couple busy weeks.
Speaker 2: Here ended up a little bit extended, and spoiler alert,
Speaker 2: we might have a couple more. But I think once
Speaker 2: we get really past Labor Day, and they always say,
Speaker 2: you know, the CFL season doesn't really count to Labor Day,
Speaker 2: which is always phenomenal marketing in my opinion for a
Speaker 2: football league. But we are back here at least for
Speaker 2: one week. Tons to get to I mean literally, like Hussey,
Speaker 2: first off, how are you doing doing good?
Speaker 3: Read? Thanks for having me as always really glad to
Speaker 3: be back. I mean it was a big break, big hiatus,
Speaker 3: but again, a lot of news to talk about and
Speaker 3: catch up on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if you're back here, like I said, like
Speaker 2: and subscribe, we're back for a week, and it's probably
Speaker 2: two weeks off and then once we get into September,
Speaker 2: I gotta go back now to Boston for work. I
Speaker 2: was there for pleasure.
Speaker 1: Back again.
Speaker 2: But if you like all this CFL Week eleven recap
Speaker 2: kind of mid season review here, however we want to
Speaker 2: brand that, please like and subscribe. When we get to
Speaker 2: four thousand subscribers, I think what I'm gonna do. UFL
Speaker 2: doesn't want to do in ticket giveaways, so I think
Speaker 2: we're gonna do custom Royal retros jerseys. We'll do a
Speaker 2: CFL one and then we'll do a UFL one, so
Speaker 2: we'll probably be two different winners there. I'll deal with
Speaker 2: Dustin about that, but the nice thing is I can
Speaker 2: just pay him and then he'll send it out directly.
Speaker 1: So like it, subscribe if you like any of this.
Speaker 2: But we've done my Doug flute, and we've done the
Speaker 2: UFL custom and we can do xfls have anything. But
Speaker 2: we'll get two different things like that, and we'll get
Speaker 2: all that situate. So I get subscribed. Jason and I
Speaker 2: have a lot of rants we're gonna get to here.
Speaker 2: I watched the Great Games, I watch all the games here.
Speaker 2: I'm all caught up. But I mean even just news
Speaker 2: of the week, I think we would have enough to
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, fill this whole thing. We won't
Speaker 2: do play by Pelly breakdowns of all this, but time
Speaker 2: to get to this has to be the craziest week
Speaker 2: ten to eleven ever of a season. I mean normally
Speaker 2: this is like the summer doldrums, right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well yeah, I feel like a lot of
Speaker 3: people in the summer. It's it's a slow news month.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of like the dead of the season.
Speaker 3: And like you said, it easily gets going after Labor
Speaker 3: Day when NFL cuts go and you start to see
Speaker 3: a lot more movement there. But yeah, it's been a
Speaker 3: very very hectic week in the CFL.
Speaker 2: So we have Larry Thompson, right, new Elks ownership, they
Speaker 2: get their first big win.
Speaker 1: I watched.
Speaker 2: I did not realize that with such an ass whoopy
Speaker 2: and I saw it kind of the score and I
Speaker 2: was track and we were out of town. And then
Speaker 2: you said you were at the game for that, right
Speaker 2: the McLeod Bethel Thompson. Uh, I get We'll get to that,
Speaker 2: because you know, it's always great to benure starting quarterback
Speaker 2: and then have that have your backup get hurt and
Speaker 2: then have to bring back inbou LEVI that was interesting.
Speaker 2: We have Chris Jones now Chris Jones as the defensive assistant.
Speaker 2: I guess for the tie Cats. I guess the Edmonton
Speaker 2: Elks beat them so bad. They said we got to
Speaker 2: bring Chris Jones in here, We've got Chuck Kelly Returney,
Speaker 2: we have the Nathan Wurke. I have a lot to
Speaker 2: say about that. Anything else major news I'm missing here.
Speaker 2: It feels like there's a ton of stuff.
Speaker 3: I think you covered it everything except for the games themselves.
Speaker 2: So do we want to talk through the Snathan work
Speaker 2: thing first up? Because I really thought, like, Okay, you know,
Speaker 2: I was out of town. The Lions got killed by
Speaker 2: the bombers, you know, shut out, I go on Rods Show,
Speaker 2: We're you know, we're on vacation. I kind of pooh
Speaker 2: pooh Rick Campbell, and I don't know if he's going
Speaker 2: to be the one to get us over the hump,
Speaker 2: you know us as in the BC line. I got
Speaker 2: a lot of feedback from that internally, externally, a lot
Speaker 2: of comments everything. I felt so bamboozled by this Nathan
Speaker 2: work of it all, and like because I it made
Speaker 2: me forget how terrible this team is in and of itself, right.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I boughted into the hype.
Speaker 2: I have a story for all this, But what was
Speaker 2: your initial reaction to this Nathan work. I know we're
Speaker 2: a couple days late with the initia, whatever, But I
Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts because this really was a whirlwind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just wow.
Speaker 3: Like when I saw the notification when I was on
Speaker 3: my lunch at work, I was just like, wow. I
Speaker 3: didn't expect things to, you know, for him to come
Speaker 3: back to the CFL this quickly. I did expect him
Speaker 3: to come back, just given the fact he was really
Speaker 3: bouncing around the NFL the last couple of years. To
Speaker 3: come back in twenty twenty five, but not for this season,
Speaker 3: and to see him start the first week while he's
Speaker 3: back is a whole nother thing altogether. But I think
Speaker 3: it's in general, it was a great news obviously for
Speaker 3: the CFL. I think this is the single most marketable
Speaker 3: player that this league will probably ever have, just given
Speaker 3: the fact that he's a Canadian. He's an absolute stud
Speaker 3: at the position. Besides this game yesterday, but I think,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just was really pleasantly surprised by that news.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I was even more shocked than
Speaker 3: he was starting the very first week.
Speaker 1: So we so we get out, we're seeing our family.
Speaker 2: We're out at the cabin by the lake, and you know,
Speaker 2: we got in the night before and I always go
Speaker 2: a little too heavy, kind of the first night of vacation,
Speaker 2: right might have a couple of extra glasses of wine
Speaker 2: or whatever. We're sitting by the campfire and I wake up.
Speaker 2: The next day, Dorothy wakes me up. She goes, we
Speaker 2: need to go to the store. We had forgot some
Speaker 2: stuff we're trying to get, you know, breakfastes. We need
Speaker 2: to go to the store right now. I pull up
Speaker 2: my phone. I see so I'm like, I'm a little delirious.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get up. I see the Nathan work news.
Speaker 2: I see JJ McCarthy likely out for the season, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, what in God's earth is going on?
Speaker 1: I can't process this. I go get upstairs.
Speaker 2: I'm stuck in the house with nine people. Nobody cares
Speaker 2: about this at all. I'm like walking down the stairs. Ago,
Speaker 2: you guys don't understand probably the biggest story in a
Speaker 2: decade just happened here in the CFL, in terms of
Speaker 2: Nathan weren't coming back.
Speaker 1: Like that's cool.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, you guys, and it really took
Speaker 2: me forever, and there's been a lot of you know,
Speaker 2: we watched the games last night.
Speaker 1: Was really excited about that.
Speaker 2: You know, there's been a lot of criticism over Okay,
Speaker 2: was was Nathan started too soon? Like you said, he
Speaker 2: came in on Wednesday and three practices and what do
Speaker 2: we expect and what do we expected with Chad Kelly
Speaker 2: and all of that. But like I said to me,
Speaker 2: I viewed this as, oh wow, the team realizes this
Speaker 2: is make or break, right, this is the Gray Cup.
Speaker 1: We need to go do this. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to bring in Nathan.
Speaker 2: We're going to pay him eight hundred thousand dollars next year.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just crazy.
Speaker 2: And the marketing budgets, you know, we're not going to
Speaker 2: pay all that, but everything, and I thought, Okay, this
Speaker 2: team is really serious about winning, right. They realized we're
Speaker 2: hosting the Gray Cup. We have all these people and
Speaker 2: work aside, and I want to get your thoughts on
Speaker 2: his performance. But I posted my thoughts on Twitter last
Speaker 2: night because I got home. We watched half the game
Speaker 2: here and then I hadn't seen my mom in two weeks.
Speaker 2: We go over there, I'm like, do you have CBS
Speaker 2: Sports Network? And we pull it up. I'm watching the game.
Speaker 2: This is the same team, this is the same team,
Speaker 2: and it kills me to think that you would go
Speaker 2: out and make this work, right, you spend the money
Speaker 2: and the time and all this kind of stuff to
Speaker 2: bring him in. I wish Nathan Work could play defense.
Speaker 2: Can we get him on that side of the ball? Like,
Speaker 2: I don't understand how many times? Again, I don't know
Speaker 2: if this is there a Rick issue or a Ryan
Speaker 2: Phillips issue or whoever's issue. How many times do I
Speaker 2: need to see four guys hanging out with Brady Olavera
Speaker 2: unable to tackle him? How many times do I need
Speaker 2: to see BC defense leaving someone completely wide open? Like
Speaker 2: this is still the same team. You can put Nathan
Speaker 2: Work in there. I don't care if he would have
Speaker 2: three weeks to practice. That was only half the issue
Speaker 2: with this team. And it was just so frustrating to
Speaker 2: me because this is it's the same team, and I
Speaker 2: bought into this, like, oh, they're really serious about this.
Speaker 1: The same with the Mariners.
Speaker 2: Oh man, we signed for Randy rose Rain, like we're
Speaker 2: really serious about winning. Doesn't seem that way to me.
Speaker 2: Seems like they came out just as fat as they
Speaker 2: always do. First off, what was your thoughts on Nathan's performance?
Speaker 2: Because I think it left them to be desired.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked like a guy that just got there
Speaker 3: this week. It doesn't matter what name it is. I
Speaker 3: think that, you know, in time, you'll obviously become the
Speaker 3: player that he was before leaving for the NFL. But
Speaker 3: you know, it just shows you that, like you do
Speaker 3: need time to practice with your receivers. You know, Winnipeg
Speaker 3: is a bad matchup for b C, regardless of when
Speaker 3: they played the last several years. And it's quite obvious
Speaker 3: that Winnipeg, despite the records going into this game. And
Speaker 3: we'll get into it later, but Winnipeg's kind of creeping
Speaker 3: up on them in the standings now all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: and you know, just Winnipeg just owns b C the
Speaker 3: last few years. So I don't know what BC needs
Speaker 3: to do to get around that. I think that I
Speaker 3: was talking to you last night. I think their defense
Speaker 3: has declined lined from the last couple of years. I
Speaker 3: think that they made a couple of interesting decisions in
Speaker 3: the off season, obviously some of them under their control.
Speaker 3: With Matthew Betts going to the NFL, and that looks
Speaker 3: like he may stay there with his performance this weekend.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know what BC needs to do
Speaker 3: going forward. But uh yeah, I think that you know,
Speaker 3: it was a struggling performance from Nathan worked on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it was far hunted put out.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're selling all these tickets, we're opening up, we're
Speaker 2: going to add all this. It's going to be thirty
Speaker 2: thousand plus. And I had tweeted out, you know when
Speaker 2: people say that BC only cares about concerts, and I
Speaker 2: know they had that Fred. I don't even know who
Speaker 2: that guy was to play that, Like my brother could
Speaker 2: have done a juggling act at halftime for like I
Speaker 2: have no context for any of that or what that was.
Speaker 2: But you think that you get all these people back
Speaker 2: in like this is the time, we're getting all these
Speaker 2: like you know, we're undefeated at home, we got Nathan
Speaker 2: coming in, all this stuff and just to poop on
Speaker 2: all that goodwill is just in saying to me, and
Speaker 2: I cannot figure out, Yeah, the inability with this team
Speaker 2: to show up. You you know, you had the Winnipeg
Speaker 2: on the ropes. Now they've won the season series, right,
Speaker 2: isn't that the same with the Elks now where these
Speaker 2: pivotal West Division matchups. I just I don't if you
Speaker 2: can't show up at home with Nathan for BC. And
Speaker 2: you know, God blessed Nathan for taking the blend of
Speaker 2: everything and saying, Wow, this is my fall. Nathan doesn't
Speaker 2: play defense. This wasn't all Nathan's fault. I mean, BC
Speaker 2: couldn't stop a nose. But how many times does Winnipeg
Speaker 2: need to walk the ball down the field? Like I said,
Speaker 2: olivera unable to be tackled. I saw this last year
Speaker 2: in the West Division Final. I saw this when they lost.
Speaker 2: It was that in October last year, Like I've seen
Speaker 2: this every time. It's just I just can't figure out
Speaker 2: why this team is unable to show up at big moments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think another thing is their offensive line
Speaker 3: just cannot compete in these moments. And I think that
Speaker 3: Winnipeg is one thing with them. They've shown the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks they're starting to look like that old
Speaker 3: Winnipeg Blue Baumber's defense with the you know what, Jefferson
Speaker 3: really starting to pick things up as we get towards
Speaker 3: the second half of the season. So I think that's
Speaker 3: such a huge thing for the Blue Bombers and a
Speaker 3: scary thing for the rest of the CFL. But yeah,
Speaker 3: BC's offensive line a major weakness for years now. I
Speaker 3: think the last couple of years they were a little
Speaker 3: bit better. But you know, when it comes to these
Speaker 3: matchups against Winnipeg, they just can't run the ball and
Speaker 3: they cannot protect the passer and it doesn't matter who's
Speaker 3: in there. Vernon Adams obviously got shadowed a few weeks
Speaker 3: ago against the Blue Bombers as well. So, like I said,
Speaker 3: I don't know what the Bombers are, so the Lions
Speaker 3: should do to get over this hump.
Speaker 2: And I mean and it was staying near a shut
Speaker 2: out anyway. I mean, I know they had that garbage
Speaker 2: time touchdown at the end eighth. It wasn't even in
Speaker 2: the game ride. It was that Chase Brice whatever. Like
Speaker 2: I don't even the guys in the group, oh this
Speaker 2: guy on the subb I don't. That's outside of my
Speaker 2: purview of me. You know the long history of that.
Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, you were held to a
Speaker 2: field goal for three and a half quarters here. I
Speaker 2: just can't figure out as similar that lived through the
Speaker 2: Mariners here having a ten game lead, blowing that ten
Speaker 2: game lead and now being four games behind the Astros
Speaker 2: going into tonight.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was your chance.
Speaker 2: BC's back to five hundred, right, Winnipeg's one game behind
Speaker 2: four and six.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: You don't have that many opportunities here, and I just
Speaker 2: can't figure out Nathan Wurk or anything aside that it
Speaker 2: just seemed like this team had no energy showing into it.
Speaker 2: And they, like they always say the meme now like
Speaker 2: you know, somehow Palpa team returned like Winnipeg's back like
Speaker 2: they never lost, and it's it's frustrating as someone that
Speaker 2: was hoping, you know, God blessed Saskatchewan here for kind
Speaker 2: of holding that out, but as someone that was hoping
Speaker 2: to see, you know, kind of a difference in the
Speaker 2: West Division. So disappointed with this and just really disappointed
Speaker 2: that they let them get back in because they really
Speaker 2: could have shut the door and moved on.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's gonna get wild. As you see the
Speaker 3: standings here, It's it's getting really close from top to bottom.
Speaker 3: I think it's really becoming anybody's ballgame the second half
Speaker 3: of the season. So I'm really excited for that. I
Speaker 3: think that uh, you know, BC still has a chance
Speaker 3: to write the ship and we'll see how they respond
Speaker 3: next week. I think who do they play next week? Outawa?
Speaker 3: I think I think play Autawa back to back because
Speaker 3: I think they play them in Victoria the week after that.
Speaker 3: So really pivotal matchups coming up against Outawa and Ottawa
Speaker 3: all of a sudden has the second best record in
Speaker 3: the CFL, So that's no easy games either. So I
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be very interesting to see how BC
Speaker 3: responds from this. Like I said, I think Nathan will
Speaker 3: be better. You know, we will expecting to see him.
Speaker 3: I will expect him to be better going forward. But
Speaker 3: I think that these performances against Whipeg, the physicalities, just
Speaker 3: not being able to match them from a physical standpoint
Speaker 3: despite their offseason changes is very disappointing. And it's just
Speaker 3: interesting how it mirrors last year because I think BC
Speaker 3: goes into Winnipeg early in the season last year, beats
Speaker 3: them and everybody thinks, oh, it's Beast's year to kind
Speaker 3: of take the West, and then they lose the rest
Speaker 3: of the season series. So I mean, it's it's worth
Speaker 3: noting that happened last year as well.
Speaker 2: And the real quick yeah on the the touchdown Victoria, right,
Speaker 2: because you had brought that up here, you know, coming
Speaker 2: up the week after. I remember back when uh, you
Speaker 2: know that was announced and we have a we have
Speaker 2: a big wedding that next day on the first labor
Speaker 2: Labor day weekends. That was really tough for me, and that,
Speaker 2: like I think I got to fly out of town
Speaker 2: the day after.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: I for a long time had lamented, oh man, this
Speaker 2: would be really nice to go see this, you know,
Speaker 2: go there and say, I don't want to pay to
Speaker 2: go see this team.
Speaker 1: Right now at all.
Speaker 3: I tweeted last night.
Speaker 2: I said, imagine you're one of the people that paid
Speaker 2: to see this and like you said, a total mirror example,
Speaker 2: same thing as last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking strong. They come back.
Speaker 2: And the scary thing about it is, so they're paying
Speaker 2: Nathan what to fifty I think this year, you know
Speaker 2: the marketing budget. However, we want to stretch all that.
Speaker 2: They got six hundred grand in this kid. The next
Speaker 2: two years. I know he is going to be better.
Speaker 2: I'm not like, I really don't even and care that
Speaker 2: he came in and played sloppy and some of his
Speaker 2: reads everything like that doesn't bother me. It's everything else
Speaker 2: around it. It's receivers being unable to catch the ball.
Speaker 2: It's people being able to tackle, it's being able to
Speaker 2: able to stop the run. And when you can't do
Speaker 2: that now, I don't know how you're gonna do that
Speaker 2: next year when you're paying Nathan work eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you're gonna do that the next year.
Speaker 2: I already saw tweets out, you know, when they announced
Speaker 2: all the Nathan stuff and like what did they deal
Speaker 2: with Vernon? And you know, Rick Campbell, Wow, that's a
Speaker 2: good problem to have, and we'll figure that out whatever.
Speaker 1: But if you're if you.
Speaker 2: Can't win, like I just, I don't know how we're
Speaker 2: spected to fix this. And we can't do it this year,
Speaker 2: how we're gonna do it the next two years when
Speaker 2: we're paying this kid even more money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I think that when you look at it,
Speaker 3: I think they'll never have as deep of a team
Speaker 3: as they had a couple of years ago when Nathan
Speaker 3: was here. I think, you know, when he was making like,
Speaker 3: what was it, seventy five K and they were able
Speaker 3: to really build the rest of the roster around him
Speaker 3: and have all those playmakers. They still have a really
Speaker 3: good receiving corps, but they do, uh don't have some
Speaker 3: of the guys that they used to have, like dominic
Speaker 3: rhymes for example. So I mean, I think it's not
Speaker 3: just that, Like I said, the defense has taken a
Speaker 3: step back the last couple of years, got a little
Speaker 3: older in a few spots, a little bit different in
Speaker 3: a few spots. So I mean, this is not the
Speaker 3: same team. And like I said, they're a five team
Speaker 3: right now. They had a really good start to the season,
Speaker 3: it looked like, but the last few weeks I think
Speaker 3: they've lost three in a row now, so it's it's
Speaker 3: been tough sletting for the BC Lions. And with Ottawa
Speaker 3: playing how they are right now, I mean it could
Speaker 3: be a five game losing streak for BC, who knows.
Speaker 2: And they've lost four in the row because they lost
Speaker 2: to Calgary before the bye week, so they haven't won
Speaker 2: a game since Week six. I mean, they haven't won
Speaker 2: the game since. Yeah, last question, because I get I
Speaker 2: don't I don't want this to be a totally rag
Speaker 2: on the Lions the whole time, but you know, I
Speaker 2: posted some of my stuff last night and everything else,
Speaker 2: but the I'm curious your thoughts on the contract here
Speaker 2: for Nathan because like I said, you know, you couldn't
Speaker 2: win with him on the chief and now you want
Speaker 2: to win with him on the defensive.
Speaker 1: It's like we see in the NFL all the time.
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, the Bengals get to the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and then we're gonna pay Roe Burrow like
Speaker 2: a super Bowl winning quarterback when we didn't even win
Speaker 2: in the first place.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It's the same with the Eagles. We see that as
Speaker 2: the same. I mean, geez, you know, Trevor Lawrence. I mean,
Speaker 2: look at all the guys that are getting paid to
Speaker 2: all these guys that you know you're paying these guys.
Speaker 2: You pay Nathan like he's won three, you know, three
Speaker 2: great cups coming in here, were paying eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on that because it's six hundred on the books, right,
Speaker 2: and then another two hundred whatever in the marketing. Thoughts
Speaker 2: on that just in terms of that's a major contract.
Speaker 3: I think that's just the unfortunate reality of having a
Speaker 3: star quarterback. And like I said, I think that because
Speaker 3: of who he is and being perhaps the most marketable
Speaker 3: player the team and the league have ever had, I
Speaker 3: think that they had to give him this contract. They
Speaker 3: were not going to let him go to another team,
Speaker 3: even though he definitely could up. He wanted to be
Speaker 3: in BC and so they were gonna give him that
Speaker 3: contract and figure out the rest later. So and I
Speaker 3: think another part of leverage he has an this is
Speaker 3: that he counts as one of your Canadian starters as well.
Speaker 3: And we always know from watching the contracts given out
Speaker 3: every year during free agency, that Canadian starter always gets
Speaker 3: paid a little bit extra of a premium because you know,
Speaker 3: it really helps your flexibility on the rest of the roster.
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, I was kind of expecting
Speaker 3: Nathan to really break the bank. Honestly, I thought maybe
Speaker 3: they would even give him a little bit more than this.
Speaker 3: I thought that he was going to be able to
Speaker 3: really leverage CFL teams into giving him a massive contract
Speaker 3: when he came back to the CFL, and rightfully so,
Speaker 3: with the performance he had before going to the NFL.
Speaker 3: So those are just my thoughts on Rourke.
Speaker 2: And with his marketing stuff, because I know that I've
Speaker 2: seen a lot of you know, criticisms, positive and negative
Speaker 2: kind of whatever, and like it's something they added in
Speaker 2: right with the CBA where they can roll.
Speaker 1: You gotta do so.
Speaker 2: Many media appearances will pay you. Is that just Amar Doman?
Speaker 1: Is he just writing?
Speaker 2: I mean, is that just coming out of him and
Speaker 2: kind of circumventing all of that. Is that you're understanding
Speaker 2: of how that works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. It's just up to the ownership
Speaker 3: of every given team to spend as much as they
Speaker 3: want on that. I think they were saying the Three
Speaker 3: Diction podcast that they are planning to uh are working
Speaker 3: on closing the loophole of that, maybe putting a cap
Speaker 3: on how much they can spend for marketing money. But
Speaker 3: right now, that's kind of how it is.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2: I think it's better for the league, right and I think, uh,
Speaker 2: I remember when we you know, we had them aar
Speaker 2: on years ago, and then after we got done, I
Speaker 2: looked up like what is some Mar Domans network and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, like this is you know,
Speaker 2: so you know, Amar, some of these guys, Larry Thompson
Speaker 2: kind of all that. You know, we got you know,
Speaker 2: we got money to go around here. But again, to
Speaker 2: concise it around, you could have the greatest quarterback in
Speaker 2: the role, but if you can't tackle anybody, it doesn't
Speaker 2: make a difference and you're going to give up you know.
Speaker 1: All these points.
Speaker 2: Anyway, any other thoughts, first off on the Lion's performance,
Speaker 2: and then we can talk winnip big anything else specifically
Speaker 2: from that game, because then we'll probably do Chad Kelly
Speaker 2: because the argoes were off, and then we'll kind of
Speaker 2: get into everything else because we'll talk Elks and all that.
Speaker 3: No, not too many extra thoughts, just that it was
Speaker 3: really ugly from a BC standpoint, Winnipeg.
Speaker 2: You know, like I said, regaining power here, Kolara is
Speaker 2: still not great. I thought it was interesting Winnipeg tweeted
Speaker 2: that after the game. And you know, in context of
Speaker 2: like their great defense, like zero touchdowns, you know, two
Speaker 2: interceptions forever. I'm like, Kolearo's has five passing touchdowns during
Speaker 2: the season. I don't know if I would Let's you know,
Speaker 2: let's let's be fair here. I don't know if Koleos
Speaker 2: is having quite the MP caliber season as well. But uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know, like you said, Winnipeg defense good enough
Speaker 2: to carry them?
Speaker 1: Are they back fully? Do you need to see more
Speaker 1: from them?
Speaker 2: I guess how do you kind of gauge them here
Speaker 2: in terms of the West Division?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm with you. I think Klara's definitely is still
Speaker 3: not all the way back to what we've seen the
Speaker 3: past couple of years from him. So I think if
Speaker 3: they are going to make a run or in terms
Speaker 3: of winning the West Division this year, whether that's finishing
Speaker 3: first in the regular season or ultimately going on and
Speaker 3: running the playoffs, I think it's gonna have to be,
Speaker 3: you know, a defensive led team with Bray Alavera like
Speaker 3: really turning into that twenty twenty three MP level Brady Allavera.
Speaker 3: I think that is really the key, and I think
Speaker 3: you're starting to see elements of that. You got Kenny
Speaker 3: Lawler back in this game, so that definitely helps clear
Speaker 3: us get better. I think he definitely has upticked his
Speaker 3: production the last couple of weeks, so that's definitely good
Speaker 3: to see. But like I said, it's not really that
Speaker 3: MP caliber Zach clearis that we've been used to seeing
Speaker 3: ever since he arrived in Winnipeg. So like I said,
Speaker 3: I think it's going to have to be more of
Speaker 3: a defensive story in Winnipeg. And they're really really playing
Speaker 3: well right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kenny Lawler looks great coming back.
Speaker 2: It just kills me, like I said, every time a
Speaker 2: Winnipeg receiver coutchses this wall wide open and running down,
Speaker 2: I'm like that was supposed to be, you know, and
Speaker 2: I think it was when BC got blown.
Speaker 1: Now you know when it be like, oh the Donut
Speaker 1: Boys you're back.
Speaker 3: Ha ha.
Speaker 2: You know what happens that they got high in their
Speaker 2: supply last year and you know they had to buy
Speaker 2: and coming out.
Speaker 1: I don't know when.
Speaker 2: VC's off again here to kind of figure out the regroup.
Speaker 2: Like you said, they're going to the Ottawa and then
Speaker 2: hold it hosting that back to back, and then they're
Speaker 2: going to Montreal. We'll talk through Montreal as well. I
Speaker 2: mean there's they don't get a week off to week
Speaker 2: sixteen here, then they got a host Toronto. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is this is really put up a shut up.
Speaker 2: Let's talk to let's talk about the Chad Kelly of
Speaker 2: it all. If we don't need to go super deep die,
Speaker 2: but just he's back and they're going to be playing
Speaker 2: here coming up hosting Saskatchewan. That should be a really
Speaker 2: exciting game here. Thoughts on that. I know he had
Speaker 2: to meet with Randy and.
Speaker 1: Then they had to Okay, he's.
Speaker 2: Kind of like a one, one strike and you're out
Speaker 2: kind of deal here? What do you make here him
Speaker 2: rejoining Toronto and how are they in the standings here?
Speaker 1: You know, five and four.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can go on the feet
Speaker 2: of the rest of the way here, But what do
Speaker 2: you make of this whole check Kelly coming back.
Speaker 3: Well, ignoring all the obviously personal questions around Kelly and
Speaker 3: what he did or didn't do, you know, this definitely
Speaker 3: makes the Argos a scary football team down the stretch.
Speaker 3: And I think that considering their quarterback play thus far,
Speaker 3: like Camraon, Duke's had a couple of really good games
Speaker 3: to start the season and then really fell off a
Speaker 3: cliff and then Nick arbackle got into a couple of games.
Speaker 3: For them to be still sitting at five and four,
Speaker 3: that is pretty damn remarkable and it really shows you,
Speaker 3: especially given all the players that they lost in the offseason,
Speaker 3: because this team got gutted in free agency, this is
Speaker 3: a really talented football team. And if they can you know,
Speaker 3: hit the ground running with Chad Kelly at quarterback again,
Speaker 3: this could be, you know, a team that goes on
Speaker 3: a great Cup run this year. I really believe that
Speaker 3: and you know, hoping not to see that as a
Speaker 3: TI Cats fan, but I think that the reality is
Speaker 3: this team was sixteen and three including playoffs last year
Speaker 3: with Chad Kelly as starter. That's fair very hard to ignore.
Speaker 2: Well, like you said, with the whole Nathan workover all,
Speaker 2: two excuse me, It'll be curious, you know, doesn't need
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks to kind of get back into
Speaker 2: it because Nathan was in I don't know how much
Speaker 2: that effects, you know, he was going through his mentality
Speaker 2: right and getting cut and getting signed and doing the
Speaker 2: preseason and doing the.
Speaker 1: Kind of that.
Speaker 2: He didn't look great for the Falcons in the preseason.
Speaker 2: I know Chad's been kind of sitting right. I know
Speaker 2: he's been doing some light team drills here lately, but
Speaker 2: he's been pretty disconnected right as far as my understanding this,
Speaker 2: I'll be curious, you know, Nathan kind of playing American
Speaker 2: preseason football doing whatever that looks like versus Chad here,
Speaker 2: that's maybe just kind of been not on the couch,
Speaker 2: but you know, not certainly not playing in the preseason
Speaker 2: game with the Falcons a week before this would be
Speaker 2: interesting to see you does he have a harder time
Speaker 2: coming back up here than Nathan did, because you would
Speaker 2: think if if Nathan struggling here week one, coming into
Speaker 2: kind of adapting, I think Chad's gonna take a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny you say that because I just read
Speaker 3: a quote this afternoon from Ryan did. What he's saying
Speaker 3: that the way that Nathan Urke played last night, just
Speaker 3: given the fact he played, you know, five days after
Speaker 3: or so after he signed with BC, really it affects
Speaker 3: his thinking going into Thursday against Saskatchewan with Chad Kelly.
Speaker 3: I think that he had something about maybe using a
Speaker 3: two quarterback system on Thursday just kind of eased Chad
Speaker 3: Kelly back into it. But like you said, he hasn't
Speaker 3: seen live bullets in a long time, all the way
Speaker 3: back to that horrible East Final that he you know,
Speaker 3: threw several interceptions in. So I think it should be
Speaker 3: interesting to see how he plays out of the gate.
Speaker 3: I think that, like I said, I think the plan
Speaker 3: might be to ease him back into it, but we'll
Speaker 3: have to see what the argos do and how child
Speaker 3: Chad Kelly looks in his return.
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm just pulling up the game tracker here
Speaker 2: so we can get to it after, but the yeah,
Speaker 2: Saskatchewan defense is pretty scary right now with coin Mace.
Speaker 1: I mean I think that this is kind of you know, right,
Speaker 1: I think that this yeah, to.
Speaker 2: Come in and you're not playing against the BC lines defense,
Speaker 2: I mean, you're playing against a team that actually knows
Speaker 2: how to get after the quarterback and tackle and.
Speaker 1: Do everything else. So uh, yeah, I'm really curious.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Dinwitty, I trust Dinwitty right getting
Speaker 2: kind of chat up to speed a little bit more
Speaker 2: than maybe I do Rick with all of that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm so out umri campbo.
Speaker 2: Right now, I can't even stand up, Like I don't
Speaker 2: want to get anymore in about everything.
Speaker 1: But I'm really having a hard time with it.
Speaker 2: Like I think Dinwitty, yeah, can maybe read that a
Speaker 2: little bit better going in than Nathan.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is incredible.
Speaker 2: You know, he said ten completions and whatever practice and
Speaker 2: he looks great and he comes into the game and
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even where I'd have to even
Speaker 2: pull up with the stats were, but he did not.
Speaker 2: Nathan did not have a tremendous stat line here coming
Speaker 2: out of the game.
Speaker 1: What was just cur What was.
Speaker 2: His uh yeah, eight of twenty five six to two interceptions.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I you know.
Speaker 2: Certainly not you know, let me chase here six to six.
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to see maybe we need to see
Speaker 2: chasing action here. Okay, we've done all right, So we've
Speaker 2: done all that. Let's talk Larry Thompson, the Elex and
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about this homicide. I saw here
Speaker 2: on YouTube this morning when I was watching the Edminton
Speaker 2: Elks ty Cats game.
Speaker 1: But Larry Thompson, owner seems excited, right? Is this good?
Speaker 1: It doesn't you certainly no.
Speaker 2: Victor and I know Victor wasn't the owner, but certainly
Speaker 2: no Victor queed kind of taking over the world here.
Speaker 2: It seems like a good old boy Edmonton Elk's season
Speaker 2: ticket holder. It's got money at my what's your read
Speaker 2: of the situation is that kind of Do I have
Speaker 2: a good handle?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: My impressions of watching that the opening press conference is
Speaker 3: that he's not the best like public speaker or anything
Speaker 3: like that. But ultimately, at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: who cares, right if if he's going to financially support
Speaker 3: the team and you know, be a stable owner that
Speaker 3: you know, uh, doesn't do the whole h. David Stern
Speaker 3: David Stern with uh, Gary scary?
Speaker 1: Oh, Gary with it? Oh you're talking to I.
Speaker 3: Started thinking of the NBA commissioner. But uh, but yeah,
Speaker 3: as long as he's not, you know, an unstable owner
Speaker 3: that you know, uh, provides a distraction of the team
Speaker 3: and can financially support this team and give it the
Speaker 3: reinvestment that it needs. I think that's the important part.
Speaker 3: And I think another part of the conversation I saw
Speaker 3: some people bringing up was his his age. But I
Speaker 3: think that he's only like sixty five or something like that.
Speaker 3: A lot of people thought he older than that. I
Speaker 3: think the worry there is that it might most thing
Speaker 3: like Sid Spiegel and Gary Stern situation, where there's not
Speaker 3: really a succession if something happens there. So I've heard
Speaker 3: that the family is very like committed to uh, you know,
Speaker 3: potentially you know, taking the team over after I mean
Speaker 3: assuming if something that did something terrible did happen with
Speaker 3: Larry Thompson. So I think that I'm not too concerned
Speaker 3: about it. I think that I'm glad the Elks have
Speaker 3: the financial looking now and hopefully things will get better
Speaker 3: and in the short term in Edmonton's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, he's six.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Benjamin Button, Like people say I'm twelve.
Speaker 2: But I look at the like you no, he does.
Speaker 1: He looks.
Speaker 2: I mean like, oh my god, I didn't know how
Speaker 2: I hadn't. We've been a time I didn't have time
Speaker 2: to look up it. I'm trying to figure out, like
Speaker 2: what's his net worth and everything, just to kind of
Speaker 2: get a handle on it. But uh, yeah, he looks old,
Speaker 2: that's a rough sixty five. The whole Like they're using
Speaker 2: the double E logo, the rebranding to the ESX.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is I you got it right.
Speaker 2: I mean it's like I live through this with the
Speaker 2: Commanders all the time, and I mean they got they
Speaker 2: ask our people all the time. When you rebranded, we
Speaker 2: bring in Josh Harris, we get to do ownership. They're like,
Speaker 2: we're just trying to win football games. We don't care
Speaker 2: about that. I mean, I'm so over this. It could
Speaker 2: you could call him the you know, the circus clowns
Speaker 2: for all I care at this point. But thoughts on
Speaker 2: that is I just feel like it's you can't revert
Speaker 2: back at this point.
Speaker 1: I just curious your thoughts.
Speaker 3: I think it would be a massive mistake. Frankly, I
Speaker 3: think it would be a disaster if they were just
Speaker 3: go back to the old name or even change the
Speaker 3: name again. I think that Elks is fine. I think
Speaker 3: that yes, it might not be the most intimidating or
Speaker 3: deal name for a pro sports team in the world,
Speaker 3: but ultimately, this is the Edmonton football franchise. Call it
Speaker 3: whatever you want. The people that want to call it Eskimos,
Speaker 3: they can call it whatever they want. That's still a
Speaker 3: football franchise, ce up guys that plays in Edmonton. And ultimately,
Speaker 3: people blaming the name change for the poor results and
Speaker 3: the decline and attendance, I think it's just frankly ridiculous
Speaker 3: because the attendance was declining before, even when they were
Speaker 3: the Eskimos, and you know, the poor performance of the
Speaker 3: team was already starting to show, not to the degree
Speaker 3: it has since COVID. But I think at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, you know, going back to the old
Speaker 3: name would be a big mistake in my opinion, because
Speaker 3: it would really just be kind of a step backwards
Speaker 3: I think for the league.
Speaker 2: I will say, and because I watch a lot of
Speaker 2: this to know on YouTube having watched the BC Lions
Speaker 2: game yesterday. Here before I go, we need a new
Speaker 2: animation like the whole with like the Blue Bombers and
Speaker 2: like the Tiger and the like.
Speaker 1: We need to revamp all that.
Speaker 2: If we can get Larry can donate some money to
Speaker 2: the cause or a mar whatever, like I don't care
Speaker 2: what you call the ELX, but you got it. That
Speaker 2: whole opening animation just needs to be that looks like
Speaker 2: it came out from nine to ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Like we gotta we gotta figure that out.
Speaker 2: Let's get to So you were at this game, so
Speaker 2: speaking of Edmonton, and we'll talk to Chris Jones and
Speaker 2: kind of all that. This was a bizarre game, right
Speaker 2: because I well, first off, you were there, How was
Speaker 2: the game from your perspective? Because this this I didn't
Speaker 2: realize this was such an assweeping until I really sat
Speaker 2: down this morning.
Speaker 3: Oh, this was an awful football game from a tie
Speaker 3: Cats perspective. This game, you know, first of all, I
Speaker 3: mean just even beyond the football game itself, just the
Speaker 3: first play from scrimmage, Luther takes a very I would
Speaker 3: say even a dirty hit from I forget who the
Speaker 3: Elks defender was but needed medical attention. It was really
Speaker 3: serious situation. You saw that. You know, both teams were
Speaker 3: kind of huddled around, uh you know, uh Hakunabanu in
Speaker 3: that situation, and uh, you know, everybody was very concerned.
Speaker 3: Luckily he's all right, but we didn't know that at
Speaker 3: the time. And then there was a bit of a
Speaker 3: delay because I didn't know this, but the ambulance cannot
Speaker 3: leave the stadium until another ambulance comes, and so there
Speaker 3: was a bit of delay in that. I think it
Speaker 3: took about twenty minutes for another ambulance to come and
Speaker 3: and and show up and be ready to be at
Speaker 3: the game. So you know, that was a bizarre start
Speaker 3: to the game. Glad kunavon who's all right? And then
Speaker 3: once the game gets restarted, Taylor Powell immediately gets hurt concustan.
Speaker 3: I think he had to go to the hospital as well,
Speaker 3: but he's all right as well. So strangely enough, we
Speaker 3: got to see bo Levi Mitchell and it didn't go
Speaker 3: so well for the tie Cats in this game. It
Speaker 3: really was over by the end of the first quarter,
Speaker 3: and that's been the case far too often this year
Speaker 3: for the Tai Cats. Think back to the game against
Speaker 3: BC where it was I think it was fourteen to
Speaker 3: nothing before the ten minute mark of the first quarter.
Speaker 3: So you know, the tai Cats defense just been a
Speaker 3: struggle all season long for them, Probably the worst defense
Speaker 3: I've seen the CFL in a long time, at least
Speaker 3: in the last five years. I can't remember a team
Speaker 3: that's looked this poor defensively this bat and being out
Speaker 3: of position in so many different spots. The defensive lion
Speaker 3: can't get any pressure, the secondary is just so out
Speaker 3: of position, like I said, can't stop the run either.
Speaker 3: James Rankin had a field day against the Tai Cats
Speaker 3: defense in this one, so I believe it was thirty
Speaker 3: two to three at halftime. So yes, like I said,
Speaker 3: it was basically over very early in this game, and
Speaker 3: very frustrating as a Tai Cats fan just to see
Speaker 3: them show up like this at home against like what
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought was the worst team in
Speaker 3: the CFL, but quite clearly that is the Ti Cats
Speaker 3: right now. I think the ty Cats have earned that crown,
Speaker 3: that that much desired crown as the worst team in
Speaker 3: the CFL right now, and I don't think it's by
Speaker 3: evidence of this game is very close, right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they say, you know, if you if you're if
Speaker 2: you're at the poker table and you're looking around for
Speaker 2: the mark and you can't identify who the mark is,
Speaker 2: chances are to Yeah, if you're trying to figure out
Speaker 2: the worst team in the CFL spoiler ty Cans, it's
Speaker 2: probably you here.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I will say I'll take Rod Smith and his dad
Speaker 2: jokes over like Dustin Nielsen any day watching this games.
Speaker 2: He's like Dustin rank and really ranking up in the
Speaker 2: standings for the running back, Like I'll appreciate that.
Speaker 1: More than Oh my god, that's kind of all.
Speaker 2: But this was, Yeah, it was just so weird because,
Speaker 2: like we say, you know, you, I kind of had
Speaker 2: the processes turned the game on and like, oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: trade forward's hurt, right, it's Ribs, Okay, we're bring him
Speaker 2: a cloud back that makes sense.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, okay we benched bo Levi. No one
Speaker 1: really knows why we've done that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Taylor Palace playing and then yeah, like you said,
Speaker 2: the best thing in the world, like, let's bench a
Speaker 2: starting quarterback and then have the backup immediately hurt that
Speaker 2: we got to go back to him. That's not going
Speaker 2: to be awkward at all. And then you even saw
Speaker 2: Harrison Frost here, who he rode the bench for the
Speaker 2: Sea Dragons in the XFL two years. I mean, he
Speaker 2: was with the Sea Dragons.
Speaker 1: I don't think he.
Speaker 2: Saw I don't believe he took a snap behind Dianiucci,
Speaker 2: but he was like our second third string quarterback there,
Speaker 2: so he even was playing the garbage time. Did they
Speaker 2: just give up on bow at that point? Did they
Speaker 2: just say, bo, you need to protect yourself.
Speaker 3: Well, To be honest, I think I actually had left
Speaker 3: by that point in the fourth quarter. I had my buddy.
Speaker 3: My buddy came out all the way up from Ottawa,
Speaker 3: and I was joking with him all week. I'm like,
Speaker 3: brought you all this way to see the two worst
Speaker 3: teams in the CFL go at it. But you know,
Speaker 3: so we ended up being out of there a little early.
Speaker 3: It was just really a disgusting performance. That's just really
Speaker 3: hard to see. And I usually never leave games early,
Speaker 3: but it was just too tough to watch at this point.
Speaker 3: It was just the fumbles were one thing that really
Speaker 3: stood out in this game. It seemed like the Tiger
Speaker 3: has had at least five fumbles in this game, that
Speaker 3: we're really just unferors. And I think, uh yeah, Like
Speaker 3: I said, I think the turnovers and the penalties. And
Speaker 3: I think that's what Scott Milanovitch said as well this
Speaker 3: week when or last week when he was talking heading
Speaker 3: into this game about what's defined their season to this point.
Speaker 3: It's turnovers and penalties. It's been a very sloppy and
Speaker 3: undisciplined team. And I think a lot of that obviously
Speaker 3: falls back on the coach, but at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, I think the players have a huge role
Speaker 3: to play in that as well.
Speaker 2: There was a game last year where Edmonton it was
Speaker 2: early in the season and Edmonton Oilers came into the
Speaker 2: crack and I think they were up three zero before
Speaker 2: Dorothy had even like gone to the restroom and gotten
Speaker 2: the wine then sat down and I, you know, I
Speaker 2: always want to leave and and you know, Dorothy or whoever,
Speaker 2: I know we paid a lot of money, but I
Speaker 2: won't spend any more money there.
Speaker 1: I won't buy any beer, I won't buy any food.
Speaker 1: I do it.
Speaker 2: I do a sity in hunger protest, so I don't
Speaker 2: I don't leave the game, but get any more of
Speaker 2: my money that night. You haven't earned any of that.
Speaker 2: The big news Chris Jones coming in. It's a defensive
Speaker 2: assistant Edmonton bottom out, so the tie Cats don't have.
Speaker 1: To pay him.
Speaker 3: That seems weird, right, it is it is, And on
Speaker 3: one hand, part of me just says it just adds
Speaker 3: to the circus and that this isn't gonna make anything better.
Speaker 3: But the other part of me says that it literally
Speaker 3: can't get any worse with how this defense been playing,
Speaker 3: and that Chris Jones, we know he can't be a
Speaker 3: head coach anymore. It's quite clear that he's been an
Speaker 3: awful head coach the last couple of stops in the CFL,
Speaker 3: going back to Saskatchewan and this obviously this previous stint
Speaker 3: in Edmonton, but he has been a successful defensive coordinator
Speaker 3: in this league, defensive play caller. But funny enough, last
Speaker 3: time he was a defensive coordinator defensive play caller before
Speaker 3: he was a head coach was in twenty twenty one
Speaker 3: with the Argos, and the last time he was on
Speaker 3: the field, Dane Evans went sixteen for sixteen in the
Speaker 3: second half and led the tie Cats to a great Cup.
Speaker 3: So not exactly a good lasting memory of Chris Jones
Speaker 3: being a defensive coordinator in recent years. But he does
Speaker 3: have a lot of experience. Milanovitch is very familiar with
Speaker 3: him from I believe his time in Toronto. So it
Speaker 3: should be interesting to see how it works out. But
Speaker 3: like I said, I think a lot of it in
Speaker 3: my mind just goes to adding to the circus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love Chris Jones as a person, right,
Speaker 2: and and I think that that's always misconstrued.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing with like Ray campbl or anything else.
Speaker 2: Like you know, you need to be able to separate
Speaker 2: kind of what they're doing on the field versus like
Speaker 2: the person.
Speaker 1: You know, Chris Jones was on what was that two
Speaker 1: years ago.
Speaker 2: And he was scouting talent down in the US and
Speaker 2: just the nicest, most giving guy with his time and
Speaker 2: walking around LA on the phone, went like, it's nothing
Speaker 2: against all that, but yeah, you come in here, like
Speaker 2: you said, I don't know if he if it could
Speaker 2: make it any worse. I was proud of my tweet
Speaker 2: when far Han said that because Edmonton had bought him out,
Speaker 2: he didn't need to seek permission to kind of apply
Speaker 2: for the position. And I said, well, as someone that's
Speaker 2: watched him coach a professional football team for the last
Speaker 2: three years, Like he doesn't have my permission here to
Speaker 2: be involved in this.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him anymore.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I need to have him off.
Speaker 2: I think, well, you said it can't be any worse,
Speaker 2: but it does feel like it adds to the adding.
Speaker 1: To the circus here.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, man, the Ti Cats are just
Speaker 2: really atrocious, Like you're really bad and Bo isn't playing bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you write, you know, the bench
Speaker 2: him for Taylor?
Speaker 1: Right, Taylor got hurt.
Speaker 2: We talked through all that, But like, because we haven't talked,
Speaker 2: were you surprised that Bo got the bench and then
Speaker 2: he comes back here? And I mean he plays fine.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know he had the two innion perception.
Speaker 2: You know, Bo has never been the problem like he
Speaker 2: was last year, at least the injuries surrounding the quarterback
Speaker 2: situation were last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was shocked when they pulled the twiggers so
Speaker 3: quickly in that game against Montreal a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: ago to put Awl in. But I do kind of
Speaker 3: see Scott Milanovitch's point. I think that what he pointed
Speaker 3: to was obviously the turnovers and bow even though he
Speaker 3: has thrown a lot of touchdowns this year, though a
Speaker 3: lot of them came again that one game against Edmonton. Like,
Speaker 3: I feel like Bo has thrown a lot of bad
Speaker 3: interceptions this year. He has been prone, and especially the
Speaker 3: last few weeks, I think it's really just reached a
Speaker 3: boiling point. And when it's not leading to victories despite
Speaker 3: how bad the defense is, I think a lot of
Speaker 3: that obviously falls back on the quarterback, and uh, you
Speaker 3: know the fact that he's an older quarterback and this
Speaker 3: team doesn't look like it's going anywhere this year. I
Speaker 3: don't know how many more games he's gonna start for
Speaker 3: the tie Cats this year. I mean, you know, we'll
Speaker 3: have to see what the hell status of Taylor Powell
Speaker 3: is and how much he plays down the stretch. But
Speaker 3: I don't, like I said, I don't think Bo has
Speaker 3: many starts left to tie Cats. Maybe starts the next
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. But once you start get to that
Speaker 3: you know, two and ten, two and eleven or three
Speaker 3: and eleven even or whatever the record is by you know,
Speaker 3: mid September, I think that's when you start trying to
Speaker 3: get into that evaluating player stage of your season. If
Speaker 3: you're a team like the ty Cats, and I think
Speaker 3: maybe you start to see guys like Harrison Frost and
Speaker 3: maybe even Talliatagavaloa come in and get their chance.
Speaker 2: That would be cool, See, that would be something to
Speaker 2: get excited about. Yeah, this, you know, And I think
Speaker 2: Bo just the team's ass and he's like, I gotta
Speaker 2: I gotta try, you know, I gotta make do whatever
Speaker 2: I can here and run and throw and get it
Speaker 2: in the tight windows and force the ball because you're like,
Speaker 2: I can't trust my defense, right, I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: know when the heck bringing you back on the field
Speaker 2: to get in here, like I just need to push
Speaker 2: down the field. The the other question, I guess, well,
Speaker 2: I guess I will say too with the whole because
Speaker 2: I was watching and of course now I'm we're back
Speaker 2: in the preseason here with the NFL and they're talking
Speaker 2: about the Jets. You know how Aaron Rodgers isn't playing
Speaker 2: in the preseason. He's going to be there at the game,
Speaker 2: you know, week one and last year and all that,
Speaker 2: and I just said, what did disaster about these quarterbacks?
Speaker 2: You know, because I don't expect anythink from Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: this year. He hasn't played football in the year. He is,
Speaker 2: you know, older than I am. And then with the
Speaker 2: same with Bo we talked all about this. I showed,
Speaker 2: I mean, good for him, he got paid and he's
Speaker 2: been a team player and he's been involved in all
Speaker 2: of that. But like, what a disaster by the tay
Speaker 2: Cats to spend the money on him. I mean, looking
Speaker 2: back now, I mean I think we were both pretty
Speaker 2: down on it when it happened, but you know, hindsight
Speaker 2: now it looks even worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you could safely add bow to even
Speaker 3: though he's played better statistically this year. I think you
Speaker 3: can add him to that list of you know, tay
Speaker 3: Cats quarterbacks that they brought in, like high profile quarterbacks
Speaker 3: that they brought in the last twenty years that just
Speaker 3: have not worked out. You go back to Casey Printers.
Speaker 3: He was kind of like, you know, an American Nathan
Speaker 3: rourkean away because he was a CFL mop He was
Speaker 3: an electric player and then went down played with Kansas City,
Speaker 3: I believe in the NFL, then came back and the
Speaker 3: tay Cats gave him a massive contract that I think
Speaker 3: he played two years with the tai Cats. They were miserable,
Speaker 3: didn't live up to it at all. Jason Moss also
Speaker 3: flopped as a member of the tai Cats because he
Speaker 3: was a guy that saw a lot of action with
Speaker 3: Ricky Ray there getting injured sometimes in Edmonton, and I
Speaker 3: believe Ricky Ray also had some time in the NFL,
Speaker 3: so Moss got a lot of playing time there. But
Speaker 3: after his time in Edmonton, he ends up in Hamilton
Speaker 3: for a year and that was an abject disaster. So,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the Tai Kits just have a
Speaker 3: history of this. They just fortunately with some franchises. I
Speaker 3: would compare them to the Chicago Bears because the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 3: hopefully with Caleb Williams it will work out for them,
Speaker 3: but historically they don't have a very good history with quarterbacks. Right.
Speaker 3: You look at the or you think of the greatest
Speaker 3: players in the history of the Chicago Bears, and much
Speaker 3: like the tay Cats, most of those players are defensive players.
Speaker 3: I think most of those legendary players you think of,
Speaker 3: Angelo Mosca, Rover Covington, I think those are the some
Speaker 3: of the biggest names you think of you think of
Speaker 3: the ty Cats all time, but you don't really think
Speaker 3: of those quarterbacks. It just hasn't come easy for this
Speaker 3: franchise and they just haven't been able to really develop
Speaker 3: many from within, and I think that kind of made
Speaker 3: a problem for them.
Speaker 2: The other thing here just talking and we'll touch on
Speaker 2: the other two games before we get out of here.
Speaker 2: But you know, McLeod, the McLeod stuff. Are we back
Speaker 2: to quarterback controversy here? Does trey Ford come back, you know,
Speaker 2: when he's the ribs and all that, because you know,
Speaker 2: you almost want McLeod to come in and just kind
Speaker 2: of not.
Speaker 1: Do great either.
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, we're always trying to kind
Speaker 2: of defend the trey Ford thing here.
Speaker 1: What do you maybe that? And the Alex what do
Speaker 1: they do?
Speaker 3: I think tray Ford proved that he is the starting
Speaker 3: quarterback of this team. I think he really did really
Speaker 3: save their season. If you look at it, they're now
Speaker 3: a three and seven football team. They're right in the
Speaker 3: thick of things. If they can, you know, win these
Speaker 3: games against Calgary and the Labor Day game. When the
Speaker 3: Labor Day rematch, it's a whole new season for the Elks.
Speaker 3: And I think, uh, you know, when pray Ford gets back,
Speaker 3: he will be given the reins to do so. But
Speaker 3: it was good to see the Cloud play well in
Speaker 3: this game, even though it was against my team. I
Speaker 3: think he has shown played well in the fourth quarter
Speaker 3: of games a lot of the time. This year. You
Speaker 3: look at their first four weeks, I think it was
Speaker 3: all very close losses and they just did not play
Speaker 3: well down the stretch. He had, you know, a bad
Speaker 3: sack or a bad turnover at inopportune time. So, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't think McCloud has played terrible this year on
Speaker 3: the whole, but it was really good to see him
Speaker 3: play a very complete ball game in this game.
Speaker 2: All right, anything else from that one or do you
Speaker 2: want to come put that in the back of the
Speaker 2: arview mirror.
Speaker 3: Uh no, I think I think that's pretty much it
Speaker 3: from that one.
Speaker 1: All right. So we saw this this.
Speaker 2: You know, even last year, maybe you wouldn't think early
Speaker 2: in the season that this would have been but you know,
Speaker 2: this is two heavy hitters here, right, Saskatchewan host in Montreal.
Speaker 2: All here Davis Alexander playing for Cody. We had the
Speaker 2: whole command center thing here, the stepping out of the bounds.
Speaker 2: I missed the whole right in the fumble, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't the fumble and kind of all I missed, you know,
Speaker 2: it was that two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: I kind of missed that whole thing and all that.
Speaker 2: But now this, uh, first off thoughts on the command center,
Speaker 2: because that has really kind of been you know, what
Speaker 2: was it last year was the stats on the CFO
Speaker 2: page and kind of all that.
Speaker 1: This year, it seems like that's one of the prevailing storylines.
Speaker 2: H Davis Alexander was out of bounds, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And for.
Speaker 3: Some reason they weren't showing that that second frame or
Speaker 3: that next frame of that play on the replay, but
Speaker 3: the command center definitely should have had access to that.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how that was ruled, you know, a
Speaker 3: touchdown still, but at the end of the day, I
Speaker 3: don't feel too bad for Saskatchwan, just given the fact
Speaker 3: that they had many opportunities to win this game and
Speaker 3: the fact that they left many points on the board
Speaker 3: just settling for field goals and then their kicker miss
Speaker 3: several I think it was Brett Law. There was three
Speaker 3: of seven and that's really the game right there. So
Speaker 3: don't feel too bad about them, But in terms of
Speaker 3: the command center. I think that, you know, a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, I think they got the calls right
Speaker 3: in that Saskatchewan and Ottawa game that ended up in
Speaker 3: a tie. It was very close, and it was by
Speaker 3: the letter of the law. I don't think that should
Speaker 3: be a penalty. If you cut a defender and they
Speaker 3: roll into the quarterback's legs, I do not think that
Speaker 3: should be dropping the passer because obviously the defender can't
Speaker 3: really control where they're going when they get cut like that.
Speaker 3: But unfortunately that is the rule. So I think they
Speaker 3: got the call right there, and they think they got
Speaker 3: the past interference call right, the one that would have
Speaker 3: won Ottawa the game. It was it was very close,
Speaker 3: like I said, you know, but he was there had
Speaker 3: second early, so I think they got that right. But
Speaker 3: my problem with the command center is that, as someone
Speaker 3: that watches the CFL all the time, I still can't
Speaker 3: tell you exactly when the center can step into, you know,
Speaker 3: change plays, Like what authority do they have, Like Like
Speaker 3: I'm always like shocked when they when they step into
Speaker 3: make a ruling on a play. I'm like, I didn't
Speaker 3: know they could change that. So, as someone that watched
Speaker 3: the league so much. I don't even understand that, so
Speaker 3: I can imagine it'd be very confusing to fans that
Speaker 3: are watching the games, you know, on a relatively less
Speaker 3: less basis.
Speaker 2: Well, And it's kind of the thing I can Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball, where like some plays can be like some
Speaker 2: things can be reviewed and some things can. You never
Speaker 2: why why why can't we you know, why can't we
Speaker 2: review that?
Speaker 1: Whatever?
Speaker 2: You'll you'll know Tim kaeper a famous Outlets fan, but
Speaker 2: I was he wasn't out of bounce, so don't worry
Speaker 2: of course him the Outlets fan. He wasn't at the bounce,
Speaker 2: but uh, shout out here, I see this effort in
Speaker 2: the show James Letcher with the missfield goal TD return
Speaker 2: that was great and that was an epic shot. And
Speaker 2: then following that really and you just felt like you
Speaker 2: were living in the moment with all that, right, really
Speaker 2: feel like, okay, I'm you know, I got my Apple
Speaker 2: Vision pro like that's the kind of stuff like you
Speaker 2: want to watch on that, Like I literally feel like
Speaker 2: I'm on the field kind of flying over that. The Yeah,
Speaker 2: I forgot about the command center with the couple of
Speaker 2: the overtime game of kind of all of that stuff.
Speaker 2: In terms of the game itself, I had something else,
Speaker 2: but I'm kind of forgetting I was going to say here.
Speaker 1: This was a close one.
Speaker 2: Uh, Trevor Harris, everything else, Davis holding the four enough
Speaker 2: for Cody Bean out. Alolette's really just seemed like untouchable
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are a very very very well rounded team,
Speaker 3: and it feels like it feels like they don't have
Speaker 3: a weakness. They got good coaching and they have good
Speaker 3: quarterback depth. As it's been proven here. You know, they
Speaker 3: can run the ball. They can even though they didn't
Speaker 3: run the ball quite well in this game, they could
Speaker 3: still win even when they can't run the ball by
Speaker 3: you know, throwing to their various receivers. And they just
Speaker 3: added Austin mack back today. That's another big piece of
Speaker 3: news as well that we forgot to mention. So they've
Speaker 3: just been tremendously impressive this year. It's really been, you know,
Speaker 3: really impressive to see. I think that defensively, they're also
Speaker 3: just extremely talented. We really saw that down the stretch
Speaker 3: this year. I didn't know if that was going to
Speaker 3: be a sustainable aspect of this team this year, just
Speaker 3: given the fact that you know, usually teams that go
Speaker 3: on a defensive heat or they you know, they don't
Speaker 3: tend to carry that over as much into the next
Speaker 3: seasons as much as like a great offense would. But
Speaker 3: they have definitely proven me wrong in that regard, and
Speaker 3: the offense has looked even better than they have but
Speaker 3: honestly much better than they did last year. So just
Speaker 3: tremendously impressive. And I really like Davis Alexander. I mean,
Speaker 3: he hasn't been perfect in these starts that he's had,
Speaker 3: but you could tell when the games have gotten in doubt,
Speaker 3: he has made the place necessary when he has all
Speaker 3: the tools. Really like his mobility. He has good size,
Speaker 3: and he just has that you know kind of it
Speaker 3: factory's willing to put his body on the line and
Speaker 3: make play. And you know, I've just been really impressed
Speaker 3: with him. And I think in a couple of years
Speaker 3: or as soon as next year, who knows, he could
Speaker 3: be a real player in this league and could pete
Speaker 3: for a starting job somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a couple of hits. He was running, like, man,
Speaker 2: you really need to like learn how to get down here.
Speaker 2: I mean it's good, but you do get that you
Speaker 2: get these young quarterbacks coming like I'm gonna run. You
Speaker 2: know again, you saw that, you know, Nathan holding the ball.
Speaker 2: We don't need to get on the Nathan thing again,
Speaker 2: but you know, like I don't know, you need to
Speaker 2: do a little bit more with that Saskatchewan here, you said,
Speaker 2: they drop what's Saskatchewan now?
Speaker 1: Five and four? Not quite as unstoppable as we thought.
Speaker 3: They got the and one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how do you feel about that? Yeah? The
Speaker 1: command center tie everything. How do you feel about this?
Speaker 1: Top in the West by what one point?
Speaker 3: Yep? You know, it's like I said, it's anybody's ball
Speaker 3: game now in the West. Just given the fact that
Speaker 3: what's transpired over the last couple of weeks, b C
Speaker 3: and Saskatchewan wrote really falling back to the pack. Saskatchewan,
Speaker 3: I think it was kind of expected, just giving the
Speaker 3: Trevor Harry injury. They did get a couple of wins
Speaker 3: in there, but you know, enough to stay on top
Speaker 3: of the West. But you know, really they needed him
Speaker 3: back and I think that's really important. And I thought
Speaker 3: he looked really good in this game. They just didn't
Speaker 3: really put the ball at the end zone as much
Speaker 3: as they needed to. And like I said, I think
Speaker 3: that really cost him the game because their kicker, just honestly,
Speaker 3: and Brett Lauler has usually been a reliable kicker, but
Speaker 3: he just he couldn't hit a broad side of a
Speaker 3: barn in this game. Really, So I think, you know,
Speaker 3: going forward, Saskatchwan should be a pretty good team. They've
Speaker 3: got a big test coming up on Thursday. I believe
Speaker 3: it's on the road in Toronto against Chad Kelly and
Speaker 3: the Argos, So it should be very interesting to see
Speaker 3: how they respond to that and if they can, you know,
Speaker 3: get enough wins here to stay on top and be
Speaker 3: in possession for home playoff game down the stretch. But
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I really like what I've seen
Speaker 3: from them in general. I think they've been competitive almost
Speaker 3: every week. Yes, they should have probably won that game
Speaker 3: against Saskatchwe but against the Outawa a few weeks ago,
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I think they
Speaker 3: just didn't do enough to really deserve to win that game.
Speaker 3: Because one thing that's really overshadowed by the tie in
Speaker 3: that one, going back to a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: is the fact that it was like a three nothing
Speaker 3: game at the half, and it was a really really
Speaker 3: ugly game up until the last I don't know, seven
Speaker 3: of the fourth quarter, then both offenses kind of woke up.
Speaker 3: So I think being Trevor rs being back is just
Speaker 3: so important for this team, and it's just a whole
Speaker 3: different the way I view that team is just completely
Speaker 3: different with him at the helm.
Speaker 1: And then, yeah, like you said, I think that was
Speaker 1: the other thing I was going to say.
Speaker 2: You know, you can talk about the review and the
Speaker 2: command staring all you want, but you know, Brett Louthor
Speaker 2: makes his field goals.
Speaker 1: This is you know, it's a totally different thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any reasoning for that, I mean, what were they
Speaker 2: They were in Saskatchewan, right, Like, certainly he kind of
Speaker 2: knows the stadium and wing conditions all that, So I
Speaker 2: just seemed really kind of, like you said, uncharacteristic performance
Speaker 2: from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: I don't really know how to explain it. I think that,
Speaker 3: like I said, he's been a very reliable kicker throughout
Speaker 3: his CFL career, but this will certainly kill his season average.
Speaker 3: I think he's right now at the bottom after the
Speaker 3: last week's games in terms of field goal percentage among
Speaker 3: the active kickers in the league. So We'll see how
Speaker 3: he responds to this. But just because it's one game,
Speaker 3: I'm not overly concerned as yet.
Speaker 2: All right, last thing here, Mozzoli comes back. Hasn't played
Speaker 2: football in the in the year, right, we lived through
Speaker 2: all that with the you.
Speaker 1: Know, the Garrett Marino kind of everything.
Speaker 2: Right last year, they you know, they win again, right
Speaker 2: with the Lewis Ward kickoff a right you know, walk
Speaker 2: off field goal and all of that. Mazzoli I saw
Speaker 2: his interview afterwards and crying and all that. Great to
Speaker 2: see him come back. Great to see him, you know, huge.
Speaker 2: I mean, he hadn't come back from injury twice. All
Speaker 2: this thoughts on that because I mean this was buried
Speaker 2: here so many days ago here earlier last week.
Speaker 1: But pretty cool story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's surprising he ended up being the game
Speaker 3: of the week. It ended up being a very entertaining
Speaker 3: game that went right down to the wire. I think
Speaker 3: Mizzoli looked very healthy. He looked like a guy that
Speaker 3: was just having fun out there. I think he was
Speaker 3: you know, had a couple of plays where he scrambled around.
Speaker 3: He had that one touchdown where they're inside the ten
Speaker 3: yard line where he really had to improvise and do
Speaker 3: a little shovel pass that ended up going to Deadman
Speaker 3: for the touchdowns. So it was really good to see
Speaker 3: him out there having fun again and doing alongside Braialen Addison,
Speaker 3: who's had his own injury troubles as well. I'm had
Speaker 3: a big role in this game. So for this game
Speaker 3: to end the way it did, I think it was
Speaker 3: just a really exciting game. I think that, you know,
Speaker 3: Calgary once again ends up on the wrong side of
Speaker 3: a very close game. They've been in almost every game
Speaker 3: this year, but Outawas has kind of been the opposite
Speaker 3: of that, where they've been able to you know, win
Speaker 3: out the squeak out these close games. So I think that,
Speaker 3: you know, it's been really impressive to see the Red
Speaker 3: Blacks have a resurgence this year, all of a sudden
Speaker 3: up the six wins, only two losses on the season,
Speaker 3: and one of those against Montfreal. So I think, you know,
Speaker 3: there's a team that can make some noise down the
Speaker 3: stretch here now that they you know, they have the
Speaker 3: confidence and they know that they they only need a
Speaker 3: few more wins really to guarantee themselves a playoff spot.
Speaker 2: It's interesting you say you thought it was the game
Speaker 2: of the week. I thought all the games were really exciting.
Speaker 2: I mean even the game last night with the Winnipeg
Speaker 2: and BC play like, I mean that at least was
Speaker 2: much watched television just because like, oh my god, like
Speaker 2: this is just you know it as your train Rik here, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I saw Morley Scott tweet out today.
Speaker 1: You know it is the West Division, the new East Division, you.
Speaker 2: Know where it's kind of a bunch of mid teams
Speaker 2: and not a lot of separation. But yeah, what a
Speaker 2: world with with Ottawa here sitting at second in the East.
Speaker 2: They gotta feel great about that. Do we ride Mazzoli? Now,
Speaker 2: what's Drew Brown situation? Because you know Mizzola's I think
Speaker 2: he's transitioning to be more of a mentor, right. I
Speaker 2: think they were talking during the broadcast, and he wants
Speaker 2: to get into coaching after this. He wants to be
Speaker 2: involved and obviously he knows his time is limit just
Speaker 2: because of age, of injuries and all that. But what
Speaker 2: do you think they make there? And if nothing else,
Speaker 2: him being around the team has to be great in
Speaker 2: terms of leadership and chemistry and kind of all of
Speaker 2: that stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, I think what you know, Mizzoli's experience allows them
Speaker 3: to do is not rush Drew Brown back. But I
Speaker 3: think when Drew Brown is ready to return, they have
Speaker 3: to give him the job because I think, you know,
Speaker 3: he did get this team too, what was it like
Speaker 3: five and two or something like that by the time
Speaker 3: he got hurt. So I think he's a guy that
Speaker 3: you can build around. I think he's shown enough to
Speaker 3: for them to really turn to him going forward. And
Speaker 3: I think Mazzoli just given the fact of his health history,
Speaker 3: I think they would be wise to really ride him
Speaker 3: much farther. I think, you know, in the short term,
Speaker 3: I think he's a great option. He's a guy that's
Speaker 3: really had experience, especially within that offense because one thing
Speaker 3: that hasn't only been talked about as much is that
Speaker 3: Tommy Condell is the offensive coordinator in Ottawa and obviously
Speaker 3: Mizzoli had a lot of success in that scheme going
Speaker 3: back to his time with him, and so I think,
Speaker 3: you know, it was a really good performance and was
Speaker 3: only really happy to see him back out there. But
Speaker 3: I think Drew Brown is it's still his team going
Speaker 3: forward because he's gotten them to where they are at
Speaker 3: this point of the season.
Speaker 2: But think about all the way even last year with
Speaker 2: the crumb sanity of it all and like no, no
Speaker 2: quarterback really and now they've got you was only kind
Speaker 2: of like you said, can ride kind of be be
Speaker 2: that calming presence here we get jew Brown back, he's great.
Speaker 2: You know, we're kind of seeing this influx now with
Speaker 2: the trey Ford nave been coming back.
Speaker 1: I think jam Olin was tweeting out.
Speaker 2: You know what if you get Curtis in the CFL
Speaker 2: here in a couple of years, Curtis work like you
Speaker 2: really could kind of see this this influx that we
Speaker 2: need as Bo kind of transitions out and I think
Speaker 2: Trevor Harris will kind of fine, you know, find this
Speaker 2: way out here.
Speaker 1: Uh. I think we did good today. A lot of news.
Speaker 1: I think we went through. It wasn't too negative.
Speaker 2: Like I said, we'll probably be off for the other
Speaker 2: two weeks and I think we'll probably.
Speaker 1: Be riding ryding good there.
Speaker 2: So I think the September ninth, I think we'll go
Speaker 2: off through all that and we'll figure it out. But
Speaker 2: in the meantime, I'm always around Jason anything else. I
Speaker 2: appreciate you the flexibilities back and forth, but this was
Speaker 2: gonna kind of stop down today and do.
Speaker 1: A kind of a big recap of everything.
Speaker 3: No, really big time. As always, I always enjoy talking
Speaker 3: CFL football. I mean, I'm not uploading on the channel recently,
Speaker 3: but it's always good to get together and do these
Speaker 3: shows on a weekly basis and talk some CFL football
Speaker 3: because I think it's been a really exciting season.
Speaker 1: It has been. I really enjoyed, like I said, being
Speaker 1: able to watch everything.
Speaker 2: We'll get back in and then once the UFL stuff
Speaker 2: kicks up here in the fall, we'll call it. We'll
Speaker 2: start doing the Friday episodes again. But right now, this
Speaker 2: is perfect. This is kind of all all the schedule
Speaker 2: allows for about Jason and I, so we appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Like I said, leg and subscribe. I will see you
Speaker 2: guys here in a couple of weeks, and Abdul here
Speaker 2: send me a DM.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to job postings.
Speaker 2: But send me that that. We don't have time for
Speaker 2: that today, but send me DM. We'll get to all that.
Speaker 2: We'll see you guys next time. Next thus times
