Let’s Talk CFL Episode # 77: Combines
We focused on the two already completed CFL regional combines in Edmonton and Montréal. We previewed the Toronto regional combine happening on Thursday and the National combine to take place in Toronto from March 11th to 13th. We talked about the TiCats new, yet familiar, approach to free-agent camps. We also talked about un-retired Bob O’Billivitch and his new/old home in the CFL.

We ponder, who is the best National QB today? Our apologies for jumping all over the place. It happens sometimes when we get excited.
