New TV Contract
The agreement with CBS expires after this year. It's a piddling amount anyway. Each teams get just over a hundred grand a season.

The Cats let the best Center leave for Edmonton to sign Kolankowski.

2026 CFL Around The League (Not Bombers Specific)
It's one game a week. Not anentire season. If people are willing to stop watching the CFL over this then the league might as well just fold up its tent. Canadians sure like to ***** & complain about everything. Nothing is ever good enough. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll get DAZN but if I don't I won't stop watching.

It still makes more sense to do this than what Ambrosie tried. If the CFL can make some money internationally then why not? Do you think some casual fan in Europe who doesn't know a first down from a hash mark is going to pay attention to whether it's 3 or 4 downs? It'll look the same so they probably don't know the diffence anyway. I think despite the sellouts when the NFL plays around the world it's still a niche sport compared to the popularity of soccer & hockey.

How great is it not seeing Chris Kolankowski as the starting Center? My condolences to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, You got suckered.

I'm going by memory. This was a few years ago & I never was a subscriber. My friend was & he was hot. I know Roger Goodell got involved in this as it was everywhere.

They had the NFL on their platform 4 or 5 years ago. They had real problems streaming games. The stream would freeze or pixilate. Fans everywhere complained on social media & the NFL (I believe) pulled their games. I never had a subscription so I don't know what happened there. I did know someone who did subscribe & was he angry. I believe their service has improved greatly since.

I hope they do an autopsy & check Lemieux's brain for repeated concussions which could have led to him having symptoms of CTE or Parkinson's.

The CFL plays Thurs till the NFL season starts, Friday nights as well as Sat aftn & evening. At worst, if you don't subscribe you'll miss one game a week. I don't think the world will come crashing down for the CFL losing one game a week to fans who don't want to pay for the service. This is the proper way to grow the game internationally. Not the Ambrosie way of bringing in Euros, Australians, Mexican or Japanese & forcing them on rosters thinking that people in those countries will suddenly be interested in our league.- New TV Contract
So, why can't the CFL put financial terms in the announcement? Why the cloak & dagger garbage?- 2026 Bombers Season

Let's hope Oliveira uses that quote as motivation & runs cleat marks up & down Allen's body. These linebackers are always so yappy. They just can't shut up. .- The 2026 Grim Reaper Thread

Tell me more...- Around the NHL 2025-26
Thompson was doing pretty good. INCO was in a boom cycle at the time. So, people were buying boats, snowmobiles, cars & trucks. Kids were coming out of school & working in the mine after they graduated making big money. I knew a few guys who had 25-30 yers in & were retiring with a full pension. They hadn't even reached 50 yet who wanted out. They'd leave & retire somewhere else.- Around the NHL 2025-26
In 1989, I moved from Winnipeg to Thompson, MB & took over the office of an independent adjusting firm making more money I ever thought possible. If I was asked to move to Eureka, NWT for 3 million dollars a year, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. You don't have to liove somewhere forever but you get to bank the paycheques. These players that don't want to play for the Jets for whatever reason are entitled pieces of ****.- The Retirement Thread
Stewart got some kind of a plea deal. It's said that on his deathbed that Sawchguk said everything that happened was his fault & he begged the police not to charge Stewart. We all know the cops & the state legal authorities have the final say on whether to charge someone or not despite what the victim says. So again, rather strange.- PS Game 1 day thread (finally Bomber football is upon us!)
Elgersma has all the tools. With Collaros & Condell tutoring him he'll be fine. Just needs time as you say. - New TV Contract
