Let the Good Times Roll
It’s cold out there.
In Edmonton where Jason Maas appears to have won a stay of execution, probably in hopes of retaining Mike Reilly, the Eskimos shiver on the outside looking in, ready to abandon their locker room to whatever team shows up in three weeks to contest the Grey Cup.
In Toronto where the Grey Cup winning coach of a year ago was cut loose by an organization that seems to be leaning to the big splash as opposed to incremental growth, the hope is the organization has some kind of blue print of where to go or grow, but the sinking feeling is that the Argos are primed to rebuild yet again in a marketplace that seems to have left them behind.
In Montreal we have the spectacle of Kavis Reed and Mike Sherman saying they plan to be back while the Als president is apparently looking at prospective general manager candidates. After giving up the store to get Johnny Manziel who might have sold 30 extra jerseys, and the prospect of losing Manziel after the 2019 season, Montreal has decided to bid on the 2020 Grey Cup, maybe hoping that a U2 concert might force them to move it to Mosaic Stadium.
