Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but how do you know that they haven't tried. For all we know, they could have approached every streaming service there is and begged them to put the CFL on there, but if the streamers have no interest, the CFL can't force it. It's easy to say that they should try things, but when the decision is out of their control, there's no way for any of us to know what has and hasn't been tried, unless you know someone who works at the league and they told you that everyone there is just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

Not to mention that if there is a 10th team, there are only so many talented Canadians to go around. The talent pool will already be diluted by that, and then to try and add more positions for rookie Canadians, they'd really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and fill those spots.

I still don't see where the teams are going to get and extra $250,000 to put towards the salary cap. The fact that its gone up by $50,000 for many years and then $75,000 last year doesn't show any indication that all of a sudden there will be more than $250,000 available per year. Add in the fact that the minimum salaries have been going up chews into what you say "goes to the top end of the player pool". I just don't think the numbers that you think are available exist, nor will they in the foreseeable future. For reference, minimum salaries: 2016 - $52K 2017 - $53K 2018 - $54K 2019 - $65K 2020 - $65K (cancelled season) 2021 - $65K (shortened season) 2022 - $65K 2023 - $70K I don't think the narrative that all of the additional cap space goes to top end players is valid (and no, you're not the only person who's said it does). A big chunk of it goes to minimum salary players and what's left is distributed through the team, but at the end of the day it's still only $75K, which is the equivalent of 1 entry level player.

How much do you think the salary cap goes up by every year? 2015 - $5.05 M 2016 - $5.1 M 2017 - $5.15 M 2018 - $5.2 M 2019 - $5.25 M 2020 - $5.3 M (cancelled season) 2021 - $5.35 M (shortened season) 2022 - $5.35 M 2023 - $5.45 M 2024 - $5.525 M With the cap only going up by $50K to $75K, asking them to use $250,000 would be asking some players to take a pay cut to make it work, and the PA would never advocate for that.

I would think that those were authorized and licensed drones that were flown by licensed pilots.

The real solution is to just not punt... like that game where we scored on 7(?) straight drives.

Just started watching Shrinking... really enjoying it so far.

I play Ultimate and coach my daughter's softball team as my main hobbies. I enjoy golfing in the summer and skiing in the winter, but don't get out to do either nearly as much as I would like. I used to curl a lot, but stopped when my daughter was born... I really want to get back into it, but don't know anyone who curls and is looking for an additional player. I'm also a gamer, mostly PC but some Console as well. I'm a aspiring maker/tinkerer. I love woodworking projects and want to get into 3D printing and CNC but I just don't have the space for it yet, but hopefully soon.

People were betting on whether on not Travis Kelce was going to propose to Taylor Swift after the game... people bet on some pretty stupid things.

Didn't they do that a while back when they killed TSN radio? Do they own anything else in Winnipeg?

I think people were asking for that as a way to encourage teams to develop Canadian QBs, but nothing came of it. Per the CFL.ca rules: Of the 45 players named to the roster, each team may dress an active roster of 45 players, broken down as follows: Maximum of 3 QBs (no designation) Maximum of 19 American players Minimum of 21 National players Including one nationalized American Minimum of 1 Global player **45th player would be an extra national or global player

Tre Ford being a Canadian doesn't provide any benefit as the QB position is a non-counter when it comes to the ratio.

Been sporting a Vega jersey for years and my wife just bought me a Wolitarsky one towards the end of the season last year. Usually end up with a new hat and or t-shirt every year, but I'm not a huge fan of the t-shirts that they've been selling the last few years (other than the plain blue with the white W on it).

I'm struggling with that list a little bit because I know that number 11 had no business being anywhere close to that list, nevermind being that high on it.

The endzones could still be blue because the soccer pitch fits between the goal lines at 110 yards.
