PromoTheRobot Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 It's football, sort of. But any puddle in a dessert. Hey, Andre Reed is at the EDM/MTL game on ESPN2! A reason to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_Fixit Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Nice start for my Esks. 608 yards of offense. Too many penalties which is concerning but Trevor Harris had a great debut and looks like they’re gonna compete each week. However. Montreal still had a chance to win and they’re going to be awful.

In the past, most western teams seemed to have shown a consistency regarding uniform design from year to year. In the east, it seems many teams liked blowing everything up every couple of years and throwing something new out there. The Argos come to mind for that.

Here's the right way: Making a Classic Coke Float Fill a glass 3/4 with cola. Set the glass on small plates so you can catch the overflow from the fizz. ... Add the ice cream. Slowly add one scoop of vanilla ice cream into each glass. ... Top off your float. ... Mix it up (optional). ... Serve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vorpma Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Back in 1960's Buffalo, long before cable you received three channels from Canada: 6, 9, and 11 and getting Montreal Expos Baseball and the CFL was a big deal!!!

RevWarRifleman Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I grew up in Niagara cnty. We could pick up channels 6, 9, & 11. One of those was out of Hamilton I remember. So between picking up the 3 main networks in Buffalo, a couple out of Toronto plus one in Hamilton, it was like having cable tv, 1960's style.
