It’s that time of year, football fans; CFL Free Agency is upon us! For the many football fans who like to play armchair GM, this is their Christmas Eve. They’ve made their lists and checked them twice. But instead of worrying about who’s naughty or nice, they’ve decided who they want their CFL team to … More The ALSternative: 2020 CFL Free Agency
What a difference a fortnight can make. When this year started, the Montreal Alouettes were still under the ownership of the Canadian Football League. The team halted its search to fill the vacant general manager position and they jettisoned incumbent president and CEO Patrick Boivin. After a season where the on-field product was brilliant despite … More Alouettes completely revamp their off-field look for 2020
Happy New Year, football fans! As we put away the decorations and dreadfully await the credit card bills that financed the holidays, we find ourselves in a position that has become all too familiar in La Belle Province; the Montreal Alouettes organization are a mess. When 2019 started, the Alouettes had an owner, president, general … More Are Randy Ambrosie and the CFL keeping the circus alive in Montreal?
It seems almost poetic that there is a good chance that the next owner(s) of the Montreal Alouettes made their bones in Hollywood as film/TV producers. One look at the 2019 season for this team and you almost wonder if it was scripted by one of Tinseltown’s great storytellers. Imagine a script writer penning this … More Clock strikes midnight for the Montreal Alouettes’ Cinderella season
Just once, I’d really like the Montreal Alouettes to just flat-out curb stomp an opponent versus playing a game that is the textbook definition of a nail-biter. But that’s clearly not their style in 2019. Not even versus an opponent that’s had a very miserable season and probably just wanted to go home and prepare … More Alouettes top RedBlacks for their first winning season in seven years
The next time that a football game will be played here at Percival Molson Stadium, the stakes will be a lot higher and hopefully the play will reflect that. The Montreal Alouettes hosted the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in their last regular season home game and made it interesting at first, but then played it safe. A … More Alouettes lose rubber match to Tiger-Cats to end regular season home stand
I wish I knew why the Montreal Alouettes seem to enjoy participating in football games that are a lot closer than they have any right to be. Like we have seen numerous times before this season, the Alouettes managed to pull a win from out of their behinds. In this case, it was a 27-24 … More Alouettes play it safe and survive battle versus the Argonauts
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. My guess is that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers wanted to make sure it stayed cold and summoned a bunch of snow in order to do it. After they blew a 24 point lead a few weeks ago to these Montreal Alouettes, they weren’t about to let … More Alouettes losing in Winnipeg is “snow” fun
“What’s that? (stammers) PLAYOFFS?! Don’t talk to me about….playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?!?” — Jim Mora Sr. Yes Alouettes Nation, DO talk to me about playoffs!!! For the first time in five long years, the Montreal Alouettes will be participating in the Grey Cup playoffs. With a thrilling 21-17 victory over the Calgary Stampeders, the … More Alouettes join Grey Cup playoff party by sweeping Stampeders at home
It was so close, Alouettes Nation. So, so close. All the Montreal Alouettes had to do was hang on for the win and they’d punch their ticket to the Grey Cup playoffs. But fate is a cruel mistress who unfortunately travels well; in this case, all the way to Vancouver, British Columbia The Alouettes’ misfortunes … More Alouettes let victory slip through their fingers at BC Place
