The club paid him $100,000 in bonus money in 2020 to not play one down. I’d say they did right by him, and he has returned the favour.6 points -
2021 (??) CFL Season
WildPath and 4 others reacted to TrueBlue4ever for a topic
Bombers’ operating costs for 2019 was $32 million, the player salaries were only $5.35 million of that. Ticket sales accounted for 32% of the club’s total revenue of $35 million. Game day, concessions and merch sales accounted for another 24%. And although the privately owned clubs’ books are not public, the publicly owned Bombers, Riders, and Edmonton Whatevers are considered probably the 3 healthiest clubs in the CFL, and only the Bombers turned a profit in 2019. Suggesting that the TSN can cover the bulk of the salary cap and therefore the league is financially solvent because of that one fact is too simplistic and fundamentally incorrect. Edited to remove some of my snark. Was not needed or called for.5 points -

I just hope the team does right by Bighill until the day he retires. That in the future he isn't cut because he's owed a performance bonus. Especially after what he did for the team. That wouldn't have been easy financially for his family. I really hope the team & management appreciates it.4 points -

Not sure if this has been shared on here before or not but it was circulating at work. The concept of the Swiss Cheese model. Masks are one layer of defense. They alone will not protect someone, but the more layers of defense that are followed, the more someone is protected.3 points -

Masks do more than make people feel safe. There is a lot of evidence for their effectiveness. They are not perfect and close contact is an issue with out without masks, but in a public setting masks definitely help.2 points -

Personally... no. Whatever aberration would result from that would not be Canadian football as we know it, there would be a massive cutting of Canadian talent, as the rule requiring Canadian players would be one of the first things to be nixed. On top of all that, you're making the league's current dilemma (COVID-19) even worse, merging with the XFL would require, at a minimum, cross-border travel, which as the NHL Dubois scenario has shown, can be problematic at best. If a higher-profile league like the NHL couldn't get an exemption for one player, why on Earth would they grant similar exemptions to entire teams? Add to that the risks of a startup, uncertainty surrounding fledgling new partners, and... for whatever reason... joining with XFL owners that have run through any goodwill with players based upon how they closed up shop previously (players left to pay their own way home, players left unpaid, and players abandoned by the league in unknown cities) and I don't really see much upside to that scenario.2 points -

Game 11 : Flames
kelownabomberfan and one other reacted to SpeedFlex27 for a topic
I saw a Jet team that out hustled & especially outskated the Flames. They were flying & Calgary looked two steps behind. The Flames really couldn't keep up. I find the Flames wingers, especially Monahan & Gaudreau play soft at times. Lots of talent between those 2 but not willing to get their noses bloody when they have to. Gaudreau is piling up the points though but the Flames are still losing.2 points -

Why do you you do this? You know this isn't true. You know it's going to get called out. Why do you need a football forum to validate your existence? I mean, if you want some meaningful interaction in the covid era- I can invite you to a game of codebreaker online if you want. If you play any co-op videogames over the internet, shoot me a gamer tag and I will totally invite you. You don't need to troll so hard for validation.2 points -

yup...They brought back him the one year wonder and half of his production came in 2 games....Useless Edem..Selfish and very overrated Marshall, and it was applauded all around over there..with no, or limited pressure up front those DB's are gonna get roasted. Yeah, thats gonna be an awful line...they had to bring back St John..who wasn't good enough to stick on that crap line before, or anywhere else for that matter, and Dan Clarke..sure he got picked as an all-star...head scratcher there, but he is not a top tier center. And yup...waiting for plays to develop and rely of the floaters Fajardo lays up up there, thats gonna be a recipe for disaster, and then watching his head implode on the sidelines, and alienate half his offence it will be quite the **** show for sure...can't wait1 point -
