Thought for the Day

[pbmax]

Light Up Canada is just the marketing campaign Manziel being higher than the Northern Lights.

Montreal is a beautiful city, especially if you like architecture, hockey, or are a francophone.

I like the marketing campaign idea -- trying to recall if Manziel was ever busted for pot. Anyway, I think the wide openness of the offenses will be well suited to Johnny, assuming he keeps his head in the game.

Rand -- I'm loving that Cutler bit. I seriously went down a rabbit hole of links with that. That show sounds like a car crash you can't help but watch. Also, it amuses me to no end that Cutler is all about doing nothing except watching deer trail cams and yelling at women for parking in the grass.

The only francophone I've ever had was a rotary.

What the fuck do the French know about telephones?

[pbmax]

I miss waiting for the zero to dial.

Come here Étienne, I need you.

[KYPack]

S'up Woody. Hope you're enjoying Montreal. Is the city awesome?

Sherman recruited Johnny Footballl to Texas AM, but Johnny Football redshirted, and then Sherman was soon thereafter exiled. Sherman and Johnny Football are gonna light up Canada, methinks.

More examples of Tanks extensive football knowledge. He doesn't know anything about Canadian football either!

Quote on

The quarterback known as Johnny Football fizzled in a hurry in the Montreal Alouettes' 50-11 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.

"This is a humbling experience," Manziel said. "I've had this experience in the past and there are two ways you go about this moving forward. One, you can let it get you down and sulk and harm you moving forward. The other way is to take this on the chin like a man and never let this taste creep back in your mouth again and never let it happen again. This will motivate me."

After completing a pass for a 5-yard loss on his first play, Manziel threw an interception on the second — with the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner bringing down linebacker Larry Dean.

"I didn't feel uncomfortable," Manziel said. "I just feel I might have been a bit too amped up. As the game started, I made a really uncharacteristic throw on the first drive and it really set us back. I did a bad job of setting the tone on that first drive.

On Manziel's second series, with Montreal down 14-0 to his former Hamilton teammates, he handed off twice before the Tiger-Cats blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown.

The former Texas A&M star had another pass intercepted on his third series, with the blame going to running back Tyrell Sutton for mishandling and deflecting the ball to defender Jumal Rolle.

Manziel led Montreal to a field goal on his fourth drive, then threw his third interception early in the second quarter — Rolle's second of the night.

The fourth interception came with 2:22 left in the half that ended with the Tiger-Cats up 38-3.

Manziel finished 11 of 20 for 104 yards. He played three series in the third quarter — all ending in punts — before giving way to back up Vernon Adams in the fourth.

"It didn't look like anybody was ready today," Montreal coach Mike Sherman said. "The defense, the offense, the special teams. I don't have any regrets. He's going to have to get his first game out of his system."

Feel sorry for the Sherm, a decent guy and coach. Hope the punk Johnny Football gets run out of town on a rail.

Sherman was past his sell-by date years ago

Manzier never was

One game is not anything to brag about.

4 scores and 7 yards ago, I watched a Falconerds-Redcoats game on the tube with my good friend D'Tyrant Michaels, the white guy with a black name who digs Asian chicks. At one point in the game, the Falconerds inserted some hick-hop QB into the game for his maiden appearance. Said hick-hop QB managed to throw a pick on his very first NFL throw.

My good friend, D'Tyrant, was like, "Who the fuck is that hillbilly? He sucks!"

I was like, "That hick is gonna light up Green Bay. In a QB-plagued league, he's gonna single-handily turn around a moribund Packer franchise.

That hick we saw that day was named Brett Favre.

Never, ever question my football intelligence again.

I question your intelligence.

[KYPack]

Me too.

Sure the QB wasn't Joey Harrington, Baby Tanky?

I think one game in the CFL is something to "brag" about.

[run pMc]

I agree.

(Unless it's a day for the record books, then brag away -- but don't overdo it.)

I'm no fan of Manziel, but I think he'll be given more chances to improve.
3 picks in a game shouldn't be too hard to improve from, either.

[Cheesehead Craig]

If one game is not anything to brag about, what about Darren Charles?

Give the dwarf credit, Run.

It was four picks.
