Afford Tortorella? Why the .... would we even want him? Have you not been following the NHL the past decade???

The NFL wouldn't be the juggernaut it is now without the vision of Ed & Steve Sabol who founded NFL Films. They did unique storytelling about the NFL & it's players. Now there is an historical library of the greats on film & video in their library going back to the early 60's. One of the most famous was Football Follies & "Hey Mom". They credit those videos with really launcing the popularity of NFL Films. So, in honour of Mothers Day today. For all our Moms out there.... https://youtu.be/CP1ZtcH5RQM

Yeah, love that idea. I don't think Jpan said that.

Wow, sign a player from Germany & surely the Deutchmarks will come... "Papa. wollen Fang spielin???"

No, even though it may seem that way, I just think the CFL has to look at the way they do business in everything they do. It shouldn't just be all about cutting personnel, players & team expenses. Everything they do needs to be examined financially for new opportunities as well as the way to do things better &/or more profitably. Their business model is broke. Nothing they do should be a sacred cow, so to speak. If they can't look at other ways to make money then they have to seriously look at an infusion of money from outside investors like Redbird Capital & the XFL to stay alive.

Nothing has been announced in Alberta.

But not an ad as soon as the game is over to get your team championship merch like RIGHT NOW when it's hot!!! The stuff the players are wearing on tv in the locker room.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing the CFL does not do so it misses out on revenue. What do we see the minute a Super Bowl champ is crowned? The NFL selling tee shirts & caps with the name of the Super Bowl champs on them. We don't do any of that. I can't believe just how cheap the CFL is or just short sighted. I hate to say this as I'm 60 plus but it doesn't help having a 55-60 year old insurance salesman in Ambrosie running the league instead of someone like a sharp Mark Cohon who knows how to promote, market & advertise. Letting him get away was a huge mistake but not really a surprise.

Just like single game betting. How much revenue will that bring in for the CFL?

We just don't know when the second shot is coming.

Like Alberta who never closed K-6 schools until today, Kenney knows his base wouldn't be happy as school is only convenient babysitting for a lot of parents. So, elementary schools were the last to be closed. Palliser is afraid of a revolt if schools close.

I remember being all over that pick as I just hated it. We might as well have slept thru our second pick that first round & missed it for all the good his selection did us.

I jst shake my head when the anti maskers & anti vaxxers say they are doing it for our freedoms. No, they're not. They don't speak for me. Selfish pricks. Since you & I can't buy a Covid vaccine then just how is it up to us to keep ourselves safe? Your analogy is all well & good but it's impossible to achieve.

My worry is the study showed that the first Covid shot by Pfizer is 0% effective against one of the variant & 17% against another. It seems the second shot gives us maximum protection. We hjave no idea when we'll get that second shot. The US is the worst for hoarding. I read they're sitting on up to 300 million doses.

Vaccine rollout falls on him. I know we've had manufacturing delays so it's not all his fault but procurement sure does.

Trudeau has no global influence. I don't even have a clue how you can come up with a premise like that. The rollout in CANADA has been so slow that we have stretched out our second shot even further than other countries. Most are going 12 weeks. We're the only developed country in the world going 16 weeks. This is some kind of scary... The first time I've actually been worried.

I don't agree with that. They lost the Western Conference Finals to Vegas. I would hope that we could make the Stanley Cup Finals once every 30 years if that is indeed a goal. Surely after 30 years we'd have a higher bar to raise than that. Losing the Conference championship can't be the ultimate result of 30 years of trying. The top of the mountain. If we had that same defense from 2018 in front of Hellebuyck now with the firepower we have on this team we'd be challenging for the Cup as legit contenders. Not just hoping to just win a single round to save the season. Our back end is the problem along with Paul Maurice.

There is no other way to put this but it's ******* scary. We're all in danger. So much for getting that first shot into people arms giving us more protection & waiting safely up to 4 months for the second Pfizer shot. I knew all along that it was just lying federal & provincial politicians trying to cover their asses because of the slow vaccine rollouts & their well paid lackey public health officials such as scientists, federal & provincial chief medical officers & doctors just going along with said lie.

Is it on TSN?

I just think that for the mental health of the players it shouldn't be allowed. I just wonder if it's worth it. It's not like they're making millions like NHL players do.

Have they been in a bubble since February? If so, why treat athletes like they're prisoners?

He woud gain a lot of lost respect back if he kicked those 17 MLA's out of caucus. Getting tired of their bitching & complaining in the midst of a pandemic. What a bunch of assholes.

I never thought I'd say this but our province is totally ****** up. From wanna be cowboys holding illegal rodeos & 2000 people not wearing masks sitting together like sardines to nutbar pastors threatening neighbourhood residents with physical violence & vandalism calling them "evil people". When my wife retires in 5 or 6 years we're outta this place.

So, do these broadcaster ever eave the bubble? Having all the curling in the second biggest Covid hot mess province in Canada... well this is what happens.

I don't disagree but we've had Maurice in place for nearly a decade. Chevy has been here since Day 1. We do things a certain way all the time to the point that we know it's "The Jets Way". We have had the same philosophy in place yet nothing changes. There's stability & then there's going stale doing the same thing that doesn't work. We came close in 2018 & blew it up on defense within a year of almost going to the Western Conference finals. What is happening now is just about spinning our wheels as an organization. We need new ideas, Maybe a new way of doing things. It's time for a change if we don't make it out of the first round.
