His speaking french will not necessarily fill the stands. it's a deeper problem. football is simply not entrenched here as hockey is but it certainly wouldn't hurt.

Way to go Travis. Happy for ya.

I don't see Popp hiring anyone in the cfl circles or any re-treads. I expect him to pull out another 'who?' candidate as he did with trestman in 2007. Pierre Vercheval mentions he's not surprised Marc landed the job in Chicago as he was exactly what they were looking for in terms of an offensive min...

I find it odd that he got chosen after missing back to back cup appearances. He's gonna have a lot of pressure leading a Bears team that fired their coach in spite of a 10-6 season.

I'm just tired of all the speculating. Congrats to Marc and Jim if they land jobs in the NFL but i'd rather wait til it's 100 per cent confirmed before thinking about it.

I'm rooting for the Ravens but seeing Peyton face his old team would be fun.

The longer McPherson stays as AC's backup the longer his career may very well last . Why would he want to move else where and possibly be exposed like so many other #2's have been ?

Metro population of 2.5 million. 42,000? Complete fail. Couldn't agree more. As for the 50,112 in Montr...

47,000 tix sold as of now. gonna be LOUD!

call me crazy, but don't you wait til AFTER the 100th is won to write a book with that title? It's like a book titled ' the 20th Century' I have that was printed in 1986.

It's actually pretty crafty, getting the als fans to boo him while their team's offence is on the field.

Kevin Huntley tweeted in reference to the Montreal fans: 'They may have been drinking all morning long so they may not understand their team is on offence'.

so true, except we sober up by one.

He got banned from Riderfans after having posted there for two years. That's aces in my book.
