Being a Hamilton Ti-Cats fan is usually something to be ashamed of. This year is no different. It sucks when your team is usually theoretically, if not mathematically, out of playoff contention each year before the calender even hits September. I have watched enough of their garbage efforts this year to know that there was no light at the end of the tunnel in the near future.
Why? The quarterbacks suck. Jason Maas has had 2 years to prove himself worthy of being a starter here. What he has proven is that he may be to quarterbacking as Paris Hilton is to singing or acting or not being a whore-ing. Maybe Timmy Chang, the stud QB out of Hawaii, was going to be the answer if given some time. No. Through two starts he just chucked interceptions time after time, and nearly got Brock Ralph guillotined today against the Argos.
But in the last few days we have a reason to hope. Former CFL MVP Casey Printers has signed on to QB the Ti-Cats after being let go by the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL. I believe he will help. I believe that because I have to. Actually, I think had Printers played today against the Argos...we would have won. Coach Taaffe said he couldn't play Printers yet because he did not know the offense. Ummm...I've been watching this year coach and NOBODY KNOWS THE OFFENSE!! You could toss a cyclops squirrel wearing a skirt in at QB and he/she could do no worse. To give up on the season with half the dang games left is retarded. Play Printers...PERIOD! If I don't see him in there next week, its going to take an army of cyclops squirrels in full armour to protect Coach Taaffe from me. With Printers in the lineup I bet we go 5-2 to end the year. Mark that down.
So far my best Ti-Cat highlight of the year was when I spent July in New Zealand and did not have access to watch their first 3 games. Aaaahh...i miss those days. Play Printers...and maybe next year there is hope in Ti-Cat land.
College football sidenote: Michigan football sucks. I don't know how or why but it does. They might give out 11 Heisman Trophies this year...one for each of the QB's who plays against Michigan. Oh and Michigan QB Chad Henne's Heisman chances are as dead as my emotions after an episode of The View. Flatlined.

You're a Ti-Cats fan? Maybe you told me that before, but I forgot. I pity you. (But I heard a rumour that Jason Maas might be back with the Esks next year, as a backup. That would be alright with me. He's a passionate, unselfish player and he's saved the Eskimos' bacon more than once. As a starter, he hasn't done so well, especially the last two years.)
That stuff about the cyclops squirrel was hilarious. I might have to read this blog more regularly
