Hamilton Tiger Cats play at Tim Hortons Field.  You forgot the small coffee and a free donut daily.

I find it odd they serve Coor's instead of Labatt's. It wasn't like that when the stadium was named Ivor Wynne. Is Tim Hortons Inc in a riff with Labatt Brewing?

The word was that the CFL would not let him sign a one-year contract. I wonder what the end-result contract looks like. 

Maybe he makes himself into a Flutie story and goes and gets a bunch of MVP's and Grey Cups, returning to the NFL as a savvy veteran creating a QB controversy.....with some other team.

hope for his sake that he actually has his life together and can right the ship that was once sailing towards a rather lucrative, if not successful, NFL career.

 

Or he gets cut for being a jagoff. What's more likely?

Depends.

 

I think the average CFL Salary is like 80 grand per year. Minimum is 50.

League minimum will be $54,000 in 2018.

 

Salary cap per team will be a mere $5.2 million in 2018.

 

Going rate for starting CFL QB: $400,000.

 

A few elite QBs make over $500,000.

Probably just a case of Molson Coors outbid Labatt and their parent corporation.  In 2013 it was announced Molson Coors was the 'official beer partner' of the Tiger Cats.

I was hoping he'd say, "I'm taking my talents to Hamilton."

 

This is a smart move for him as it's the only way you're going to prove to the NFL that you've matured by staying clean and focused for an entire season while performing at a high level.

Just a bridge and a short drive up the QEW from Buffalo ... Hmmmmmmmm 

It's worth going. I'm lucky I caught a game at the old Ivor Wynne. It was like a trip back down Best St. to the old War Memorial.

Ivor Wynne's field was laid out east-west, whereas Tim Hortons' field runs north-south.

Is that the team that once was the Binghamton Mets in the mid-1990's  (lived there then).

Column from the Hamilton Spectator. Manziel's success depends on how seriously he embraces the CFL. Frankly, in betting the under.

 

Itll boil down to whether he enjoys the game or just being a star. They will learn quickly if he actually appreciates having a chance to be on the field.

And Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Some of the men's restrooms actually had thick plastic windows in them....three urinals and one toilet.

I know. You do not want an alcohol shortage.  Or are you speaking more for than the CAA when you use "We"?  

 

Personally I hope he ends up sitting on bench for a year.

 

 

 

 

Im saying, we don’t want the NFL’s garbage.......we got enough of our own.

When the Blue Jays TV ratings outperform the CFL, you need something. Manziel could be the best thing to happen to the CFL in a while.

Or... He gets into a heated Timmy Ho's argument w/an employee, pinches one out and flings it @ said employee.

 

This could go either way.

 

Employee:

"This is not a Dunkin Donuts!  We don't call it a "Long John" here!"

 

JM:

 

"Oh you don't do ya!"
