No idea what you're getting at. I know you can't wrap your mind around the thought of criticizing those involved in CPL for how they've handled announcements. No need to reassert that point again.

Dub Narcotic Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 There's a famous basketball meme about Bruno Cabocolo of the Raptors: This is the all time swing for the fences pick. First of all he is described as the Brazilian Kevin Durant. He really doesn’t know how to play yet. I’m blown away. I’ve been doing this for 10 years. He’s 2 years away from being 2 years away. 60 to 90 days away from an announcement about being 60 to 90 days away from an announcement is definitely the CPL version of the two years away from being two years away.

The tweet does not indicate there's going to be an announcement and relates to both CPL and Ti-Cats.

Given that there were apparently meetings going in all week, it was a "big week" for CPL, and there was TiCats news when they signed June. There was no promise of CPL news, Mitchell just said it was a big week It could have been said better, but I'm sure if your own tweets were run over with a fine tooth comb by a couple dozen discussion board dwellers there would be plenty that got misinterpreted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 This sums up why I feel a tad empty about TFC's title. The management, coach, players, narrative and even one of the journalists (American USMNT jock sniffer Larson) make this feel like an American team that just so happens to play in Toronto.

Bison44 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I dont know Matty, in the 80'2 there were 1-3 Cdn in MLB, now there is consistantly over a dozen. Regardless of the results of the baseball classic etc. we have alot more pros now. There is something to be said for having high quality product in the country. Plenty of blue jays fans out here in MB/SK. Complete Homer and ironcub14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
