Originally this preview was going to be an ode to Jim Popp’s hair, but apparently Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette already beat us to the punch on that one.

So besides the head coach growing out his hair, the second biggest development in Montreal was the announcement of a charity concert hosted by the Als for the Sainte-Justine Hospital and Garde-Manger Pour Tous featuring a performance by the OSM and conducted by Kent Nagano. (The OSM would be the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal, for the unitiniated and clearly uncultured.) Obviously this a very worthwhile event and we're sure that everyone involved will have a wonderful time. But like every other football-related event, odds are required for recreational purposes:

-Will the Als host the event on a non-game night because they learned from the Argos’ mistake that big name acts like Shaggy and Kent Nagano don’t boost football ticket sales? 5 to 1

- Will the OSM perform Hey Baby (Will you be my girl?), widely recognized as the most popular song in the history of Montreal? 1 to 3

- Will it be a cellist or a percussionist who receives a seductive dance from a cheerleader? Cellist –130

- Over/under on number of people who will mistakenly believe that the conductor has signaled a first down when he raises his baton: 2,500
