Fresh off of learning about the unmitigated clownshow that was the Las Vegas Posse, we ask the question: "Okay but what if you made it really humid, too? What if you added circus animals?? What if the field tried to kill you???" We also ask the question: "How many CFL franchises do you get a crack at running into the ground with your small adult failson?" And additionally: "What do you do with your jingle after the NFL sues you to make you stop using your team name?" Not to mention: "What is the most appropriate way to write about a public figure dying in a nursing home?" We don't get a lot of good answers, but there are definitely a ton of questions.
This brings us to what Francis Fukuyama was talking about when he said "the end of football history": the 1994 Grey Cup. That's it! There's simply no more football to discuss after that. All that's left is to hammer out George Stroumboulopoulos' role in the past nine episodes. Oh, and "Danton Barto" is in there.
