Yeah, Pinball used to be a very popular player across canada. Now, he can't even say that Murphy approached the Riders without his knowledge. Which means that could be a lie as well & he knew. As in gave Murphy permission to do so. Just that Mace ratted the Argos out. Pinball's integrity is shot.

MLSE made no effort to market the game in Southern Ontario. It is disgusting how lazy & greedy that ownership group is.

They'll be lucky to draw 10000 fans to their 6 home games. No one will miss them, it seems.

It's GMs like Ed hervey that are irresponsible. You know he'll be throwing money around like it's no tomorrow & have a last place team again.

These guys were so underpaid for years & at some positions still are. I have no problem if the cap goes up significantly.

I just remember Brandon Browner patrolling the secondary with the Stamps. Receivers had a hard time with his size (height), speed & physicality. He dominated.

Bang on!

With his size, physicality & speed, wouldn't he be better suited to play SAM rather than Safety?

Things went off the rails for sure. When ownership doesn't care this is what happens. Pinball is such a company man. He straight out lies to cover MLSE & his ass.

Didposable income is nowhere near what it was in 2014. people just don't have the money to spend on things like tickets to sporting events. canada is like a closed small market. I don't know how much the CFL can grow in this economy. The CFL should be looking at outside the country & Europe for increased revenues.

Amazing how drafts work elsewhere like the NHL, NBA, MLB & the NFL but somehow it can't work for the CFL.. Teams draft the players they want out of college as per the number of rounds a draft has. Then they sign free agents from their teams they want to keep, or that were never drafted or veteran players from other teams that are no longer under contract. They also trade to acquire assets. Of course, with veterans already on a roster teams don't need 100 rounds to refresh a roster. Just because there would be an American draft doesn't mean teams can't sign players undrafted as free agents which is what they would be. Nothing really would change. A draft is designed to create excitement. College football fans in Canada probably know more about kids in college in the US than kids in Canada that nobody ever sees because games are never televised. And drafting someone from an SEC or Big 12 Conference would definitely create that excitement.

Inflation especially groceries are high, foodbanks full & tent cities... Yep, doing okay.

Where are you going to get increased revenues in this country when our economy is so shitty? When even the host broadcaster TSN cheaps out on the CFL & doesn't pay whet the rights are truly worth? They do that because they have a monopoly. They can pay what they want. Who cares about Bundeslegia? Yet they're on TSN or at least used to be. Who gives a **** about German soccer? It's not even an elite pro league. The CFL has to look elsewhere for revenues.

You don't known that until it's at least tried. How hard is it to actually make enquiries? If threy get doors slammed in their face then at least the CFL gave it a shot.

I used to call the CFL Board of Governors, the Board of Dinosaurs because they just seem to rely on a business model that worked in 1967. It was announced the CFL won't do an American draft as it's too much work to get organized even though every scout on every CFL team should be a walking encyclopedia as to who may be Neg Listed on every team. The CFL at its highest level are lazy old men who just get by hiring the same people over & over for scouting, managing & coaching. They seem happy with the status quo even as bad as it is right now. As in Commissioner Johnson stating they haven't put out any feelers to any other broadcast companies or streaming services except TSN. So in reality, nothing is going to change.

Bryant was never a problem last season & I believe that he graded out as our best OL as well. The problem was our Center Koala. He's gone now to Hamilton & they're welcome to him.

Those big contracts to Rourke & extending Keon Hatcher gonna cause some good playerrs not to be renewed.

We should be looking at big streaming services to see if we could make a deal to go on Amazon Prime or Netflix. You just don't know until you try. maybe also trying to get the games televised in Europe. I mean, if TSN televises German soccer (Bundeslegia) why can't the CFL have a tv deal overseas? It's all about reaching out & if there's interest to negotiate a deal. Imagine the CFL being paid in Euros???

They should be discussing getting rid of the coaches/admin cap to improve the game. Not this **** stuff they're talking about at the Winter meetings, What Johnson is doing reminds me of James Kirk trying to teach the Iotians a game of Fizzbin which he made up on the fly. If the CFL fucks around with the playoffs they're crazy. the playoffs work just fine. The only change I'd make is the crossover team. If a crossover team has a better record than the third place team in the other conference then it gets to host a playoff game instead of the third place team in the other conference. That's it. Nothing else.

Jeez, the 3 minute clock, OT, playoffs siuddenly too easy, no ties & now the Replay Centre. No idea the CFL was so messed up that we have to reinvent everything under this guy.

Thomas couldn' play anymore. It was obvious to everyone but Osh. Bryant could still play. Big difference.

It's called a discussion. You know, we come here to talk about the Bombers. Is that okay with you or do you think that's stupid, too?

We never said to move Stan to Center. We said he could play there if needed.
