Halifax, Football and Thanksgiving - October 28th Is The Next Day for CFL Expansion Team

Momentum continues.  The Down Home - "Atlantic" Kitchen Party will be a co-hosted event this year at Edmonton's Grey Cup, showing a step closer to "Schooner" football out east and the CFL's 10th team (the scheduling gods are smiling).

CFL: With A Crossover Playoff Format Looming, Will This Be The Year a Western Team Actually Goes Threateningly Far In The Eastern Playoffs...To The Final?

With Winnipeg sitting fourth in the West, and likely to finish much stronger than the extrapolated Toronto and Montreal records for the season, could the Bombers advance past the Eastern semi-finals?

Or, what if Edmonton has a couple of unlucky losses while Winnipeg surges the next couple of games and the Eskimos cross over? Oh the drama (and charm) of the CFL...

CFL: Johnny Who? Pipkin Takes the Reigns of the Alouettes

After two back to back wins for the Als, and Johnny Manziel on the sidelines still due to concussion protocol, when will Johnny's big break come from? There are eight other teams in the league that have seen spiked ticket sales on the day Montreal comes to visit.  Those extra bums may not be in seats then.

CFL: Another Twist and Turn In Johnny Football's Canadian Career

It looked like a hard hit right on the goal line during the Montreal versus Ottawa mathc, and not entirely clear as to what happened on the sidelines; however, quarterback John Manziel is now showing symptoms similar to a concussion and has missed practicing with his Alouettes team mates.

TSN also mentioned (uncovered?) that Manziel may also be suffering these symptoms as per his mental health medications. 

Another unexpected event in this quarterback's entry into the CFL.  He has attracted much interest, many headlines and mustered up ticket sales at home in Montreal and away.  The Alouettes and the CFL need him to be well.  Quick recovery Johnny!

CFL: The Rock's Instagram Of His Days in the CFL Is The Biggest Marketing Event Yet...And it was Free!

Let's see if this translates into more clicks for the CFL.ca website and hopefully more interest generated in younger fans.

Amazing how life gives you twists and turns.

CFL: And Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's....Johnny (Manziel)!

A tough game to watch as both teams comprised the two rivalry cities of Toronto.  In Johnny's defense, he only had four practices to put all this together despite learning the CFL game while in Hamilton.  Tickets were sold, lots of media coverage on him - the wins will come for the Montreal Alouettes. 

(Although watching his first throw resulting in an interception, it did appear he forgot there were 12 men on the field!)
