Same answer. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We suspect that the Argos always spend over the cap & the league allows it to have a competitive team in Toronto. Not if it's a community team. -
CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Now Harris can turn his attention to his junior football team in Nanaimo instead of his misplaced anger at us. As far as I'm concerned Harris can retire. I don't care if he ever plays us again. -
Winnipeg Jets 2023 Off-Season Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
The season doesn't start until October so no need to lock it so fast. Cheveldayoff would never answer that question, HardCoreBlue. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The salary cap is too ridiculously low. Nest season's hundred thousand dollar increase will be eaten up just resigning veterans & with inflation. It won't begin to cover signing anyone new. That'll mean goodbye to some veterans we love. This off season may not be much fun as to who goes to afford signing Schoen & Demski. As well, can we afford to keep both? Gawd, I hope so. -
I wasn't against the restrictions, vaccine passports & masking. However, with vaccines available now & the fact that Covid 19 is weakening with every new variant I'd be against all that now. We have to get on with life. Canada's Chief Public Officer of Health Theresa Tam saying we need to mask again will never happen. Restrictions are certainly out as well.

Five teams were over in 2022 including us so I think we do spend to the cap & beyond. Now, does that bother me? Not in the least. If we have to spend over the cap to field the best team if it means winning a championship then so be it. Winning means increased attendance which means more parking, concessions & merchandise slaes. It also means that player salaries will increase. In order to retain the FA's we want & to sign new ones if going over the cap then again, so be it. You can't tell me MLSE doesn't overspend past the cap with FA's every year so then why should we be suckers? Nice guys finish last. -
And to make themselves look good, A & W just muddies the issue. Very interesting, thanks.

I just don't get what it means as far as beef is comcerned & safety of those eating A & W burgers. That's what I thought so why is A & W making it out to be a good thing? These corportaions just lie to us making themselves out to be heroes when they're not.

What does it mean when A & W claims its burgers come from cattle that have had no antibiotics?

He had a phenomenal voice.

The sad thing is that when this "new & improved" league does fold there'll be another right behind it ready to go. Thinking their way will be the right way & it will be a success. -

Past history for $200, Alex. -
It's been ugly for years & years.

My wife says that Covid is going thru her office right now. A number of her coworkers have tested positive so are away. My friend also told me that at his son's engagement party last Sunday, two people had Covid, knew it & still showed up. His son's future Mother In Law & her son. He said he's taking the week off in case he has it. My wife is also okay, so far. As my wife said to me yesterday, "People are idiots". We won't be having lockdowns or restrictions anymore. Masking, maybe or maybe not, It's become like th flu or cold. People will give it to one another. It'll make the rounds.

And if the league is losing money it means ratings tank & lost advertising as well as networks who were televising them to say buh bye. I don't think any of the principles here want to sink their money into a bottomless pit. -
Now the stupid disbelievers aren't getting the required shots for diseases like Diptheria, Polio, Mumps & Measles for their kids. Claim they're unsafe. I guess putting on leafy underwear & dancing barefoot around a fire moaning incoherently works now. What a bunch of moronic fools for parents.

I've had 5 but didn't get the 6th in the spring/summer. Gonna get the jab in early November. Going to the US for American Thanksgiving & have to pass through a very overcrowded Seattle airport. It's crazy how small the place is with tens of thousands of people using it as it's the hub for Alaska Airways. Will try to get as much protection as I can.

Thjey obviously feel that merging will increase revenues. Good luck with that. The XFL was losing millions. However, the XFL goes nearly 2 months earlier. That will have to change. It also means that the USFL franchises will now have to be sold individually & organizations set up in each city to sell tickets & market the teams. The USFL was run on the cheap with hub cities not having to spend millions on operations. That'll have to change. There'll be some sticker shock for sure. How do they sell off each franchise privately now is the question? That was always the USFL plan. To only sell off franchises if there was a buyer. Otherwise they'd say as a hub league. I prefer the USFL. I think they have better players & starting later will let them into US cities that have an actual winter as they start 6-8 weeks later. That may have been the stumbling block to an XFL-CFL merger. The start date. It would have been insane to play football in outdoor stadiums in Canada in February & March. The XFL may have been intransigent in moving back their start date to April. -
CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'm concerned that New Era is planning on ditching our regular season home & away jerseys we have now next season since they made the helmet striping change permanent this season. Hoefully, nothing's up. Fans clamoured for years to bring back the old look & colours which they finally did. Message to Wade Miller: Please don't mess with what works. Make it better, if you want. Don't change it. -

That hockey themed jesey with the W we wore at the Banjo Bowl & now other home games as well is not one of my favourites. I like our blue home jerseys a lot. Worst all time. I just remember Jason Vega & Drew Willy looking so unimpressed with them at the unveiling. The team only wore them once & never again. I heard the players refused to wear them again after that single time. No one bought that jersey. -

Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This isn't just on MOS. It's also on Walters & to a lesser extent Wade Miller. Teams don't hire mentors. The GMs have to work with the HC's unless they have both jobs then that presents a whole myriad of problems unto itself. no one is there for advice when it's needed. Look at the issues Dave Dickenson is having in Calgary this season. He doesn't have the steady hand of John Hufnagel around to guide him anymore. He's it. What he says goes. That is what this stupid Admin cap does. Good people are let go who shouldn't be. Or titles are merged or experienced older coaches & managers leave. -

The Coaches & salary cap is not part of the Players cap. They're separate.
