The Stamps will be lucky if 15,000 are at the game. The 13thman won't be a factor for the Stamps.

Early winter this year. Climate catastrophe.

The reaction you talk about above in the links were all 9 years ago. Where's the protests today? Drilling is still going on in the Gulf. Why haven't left wing politicians & environmental groups not shut down these rigs after such an horrendous spill? Tankers still ply the waters with no sign of ever stopping. Texas, Alabama & Louisiana still take in billions of revenue from offshore drilling. Thousands of jobs depend on the oil industry in the Gulf. Why haven't the politicians & environmental groups shut down this industry like they have up here? Cognitive dissonance? Is that the arrogant new catch phrase of the left for anyone who has a different POV?

The League led by Randy Ambrosie, our inimitable Commissioner, so hell bent on taking the game to such football hotbeds like Japan & Timbuktu that he can't see the answer right in front of his face. Fans are absolutely screaming what is wrong but he & the Board of Governors just seem to be completely deaf to their complaints. Ticket, concession & parking prices are too high. When the entertainment dollar for each fan is stretched to the limit, what is the CFL's marketing response? To price tickets, food & drinks out of reach of the average fan. Most of the diehards in every CFL city will still go to the games no matter what but families & casual fans won't. And therein lies the problem. Not only do CFL teams compete with other forms of entertainment, they also compete against their own tv contract. No blackouts with every game televised. So, seats sit empty. Why spend a couple of hundred dollars on tickets, food & parking for a family of 4 when Mom, Dad & the kids can watch the games in their own home. The answer? Lower ticket & concession prices to the point of being affordable once more & attendance will rebound. I think the CFL knows the problem but refuses to do anything about it.

So does a journey to Value Village.

I just have the feeling that the Als caught all the other teams off guard & that success next year may be hard to duplicate. Especially the play of Adams. I like Khari & wish him well, though.

Oh I'm sure there were protests. The pictures showed it but it looked pretty muted. Like I said, the Big Environmental movement is funded by American interests & there's no way they'd protest to keep American oil in the ground like they want to do to Canadian oil & gas. So, pardon me if I'm skeptical about their motives. American oil & gas companies want Canada out of the picture so they can sell more of their products worldwide.

What do you think I was talking about? I see pipeline demonstrations all the time especially when it comes to Alberta oil but nothing from Greenpeace, The Rockefeller Foundation or any other environmental groups about spills in the Gulf. Millions of litres of oil that spilled from the Event Horizon & once it was capped, nine years ago... never saw one demonstration in the Gulf by boat. Or in the media. Or in Texas. Nothing.

Exactly. Where's the outrage from the American & world environmentalists? Is it because they're financed by American oil interests & keeping oil in the ground in Canada eliminates a major global competitor? Where's your outrage? But a pipeline spill? The anger... But I'm sure you'll fill your car or truck in the next week. Or be happy your home is warm when it's minus 30 in Winnipeg in the next month. All snug & cozy for Xmas.

The Gulf Coast says hi.

Job for life. You never have to win.

They have Dickenson calling their plays. We have LaPo & that scares the **** out of me.

Randy Ambrosie telling BNN that he is trying to open up different markets for the CFL & to take it global. Although, I still don't see how a few Euros or Mexicans on CFL teams can transform the Mom & Pop CFL into a huge global concern. Can somebody enlighten me?? https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/video/how-the-cfl-plans-to-transform-from-a-small-folksy-league~1820538

The Western Final 1972. The Bombers had a 21-7 halftime lead & we all thought we was Grey Cup bound. And then.... Oh, the pain.

Depends what LaPo shows up calling this game. Do we get innovative running the ball with misdirection? Do we mix it up on first down? With Collaros do we challenge the Stamps DB's throwing the ball downfield & stretching the field? Or does LaPo cling to a 5 point lead in the second half running off tackle on first down & throwing safe outs, curls, flats & checkdowns trying to play it safe on second down? This game wil hinge on LaPo having a set of balls willing to be aggressive & taking chances trying to win instead of shriveled up ones afraid of losing.

Brilliant. He may have been GM in name only as Wally still ran things. Naturally, he got an extension.

Players heads were inflated to the size of hot air balloons & Ritchie did nothing about it. I don't think that will happen with Steinhauer.

Desjardins finally showing his true colours as a GM. Let the organization crumble by not signing key free agents. Campbell wouldn't work with him anymore so he resigns. Players complained about a lack of communication & the way they are being treated. Plus the team cratered. More like the GM he was in Hamilton & not Ottawa. The team burns to the ground & he gets rewarded. Bad times in Ottawa.

To me, Hamilton has to be the favourite.

Besties. There are no consequences on this staff.

No, never said that. I just said we gave our season away. We should have finished first.

Yes, should have included that drive. Good point. Where does the responsibility for that fall on? Just another notch in the tree trunk of mediocrity of Richie Hall.

The collapses in Toronto & Montreal killed our season. Cost us first place. The coaching by LaPo & Hall. The injury to Nichols. We really should have won the West Division comfortably. Instead, we had little or no momentum the second half of the season.
