They should just have dogs chasing frisbees for the halftime act. It's more entertaining than most of what shows up onstage.

The world got just a little bit dumber when sports fans started mixing music with the game.

What's next? Billy Joel playing middle linebacker for the Giants?

If he could play as an OL, I hear the Riders might have an opening for him....

CFL is announcing half time act in an hour.

Canadian Football League fans will find out who is performing at the 109th Grey Cup Halftime show on Friday.

CTV News confirmed this year's halftime act will be announced on Etalk airing at 7 p.m. ET on Friday.

Luke Bryan rumour flying around town.

Ok, now the Riderfans get it right.

Jordan Davis, Josh Ross, Tyler Hubbard are the halftime performers.

Anyone know these guys?

Josh Ross apparently NAT.  Other 2 are IMPs.  Never heard of any of them.  Sounds like they are all country or country-pop.  So they should go over ok in SSK.

Not too sure on the "trio" idea vs one big headliner, but ok.  If they arrange it correctly I guess it could be ok.

Kind of an anti-climax after the multi-week fubar of non-announcements!

lol wishful thinking Ridermania.  Looks like 3 stooges for the halftime show that few have heard of.  Hence why they announced in a Friday so the media can forget about it by Monday when other newer stories take precedence.  Pretty embarrassing for Regina!  THis is the worst halftime act since Love Inc in 1998.

Interestingly it appears MuchMusic has some affiliation with this?

Are they footing some of the bill?

Anyhow, I don't mean to poo-poo the choice too much.  This will be way better than some teen-pop autotune nonsense and might actual have some appeal to the actual ticket buyers.  Just because I haven't heard of them doesn't mean they can't put on a great show at Mosaic.  I'll be rootin' for them should WPG get in the GC thus mandating my presence!  ;)

The whole point of a Grey Cup halftime show is to boost ratings.  These nobodies will have the opposite effect.

I'm thinking the original Plan A act cancelled on them. And then their Plan B as well. This is Plan "let's just get somebody, anybody already".

I'm thinking this is plan "We suck and won't be there so why should we do anything more than the bare minimum"? Nicely done, Riders. ::)
Go Bombers!

Will glenn suitor have another over the top fan boy  interview like in 2019 of the half time act?!  :D ;)

Josh Ross has been featured on TSN a number of times. With his single, first taste of gone. The other two guys are from FGL. 
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.
