Considering the CFL's record on how they handle PED's it's kind of ironic they force the players out of the draft. Yet Quinn Smith & others were suspended by U Sports & it didn't matter. They were suspended from playing Canadian college yet the CFL didn't honour Smith's suspension. I know they have made changes since. Hard to believe also that Farhan Lalji believes a player he knows when he tells him he had no knowledge. That I find hard to believe. My son played at SFU & he knew as well as the physicians & trainers on the team which drugs were banned & which weren't by the NCAA.

It was announced weeks ago that Regina was out due to the Riders not wanting the game. It could go to Edmonton.

Why are you still in this Xenophobic kick? There are NHL fans that are Xenophobic. NFL fans that are. MLB & NBA fans.... People who don't like sports that are Xenophobic. I bet more than a few Xenophobes are going to watch the Avengers: End Game tonight all over the world. So folks in Calgary are Xenophobes but not Winnipeg. Can we just can this conversation now???

Any rumours about the NFL game in August between the Raiders & Packers?

Fair point but I think fans are starting to wonder what is going on & are concerned that training camps won't get started on time. I know that I am. As a fan, I want to see the players get treated fairly. I don't like the fact that Ambrosie doubled down the previous Commissioner's directive not to pay off season bonuses due to players. I think a lot of fans see that as money owed contractually & therefore should have been paid. I think most fans don't want to see the ratio reduced to 5 Canadian starters. I believe fans don't understand this CFL 2.0 initiative nor has it been explained very well. The Players should have come to the table in January instead of delaying it to mid February & the CFL shouldn't have delayed talks 3 weeks this month for reasons no one understands. This has been a very convoluted off season. Hopefully, things get back on track bargaining wise.

Yet, somehow in your response you found xenophobia & racism? Now you're just over the top.

Colin, you're full of ****. Actually bullshit. Left wing progressives will find racism wherever they look whenever they have nothing else to talk about. It must be a gift.

Says the man who ******* because he would rather read than watch a video & rants about it here? Like we care. Must be an Alberta thing. You're fitting in quite nicely as you age.

And you say I'm overly dramatic? Take a look at you take before you criticize me.

If labour piece isn't reached before a strike I think you can consider Randy Ambrosie's term as Commissioner a huge failure & I would hope he is asked to leave when his contract expires. The league withholding bonuses due in the off season as well as the frustrating delay of 3 weeks in bargaining this month has hurt Ambrosie's credibility with fans & players. I really don't know of many who either like him or think he is doing a great job. It's one thing to hate Gary Bettman but the NHL is 50 times bigger than the CFL. Fans will boo Bettman but still attend games. With the CFL, the league is much smaller. If fans are angry at Ambrosie, it's because he isn't doing a good job, they don't feel a connection to him any longer & he's messing with something we feel belongs to us. That is ours. A part of our own. That's a pretty sleep slope to maneuver if the CFL chooses to go down it. The other thing I find frustrating is Ambrosie & the CFL bargaining committee should have said to the Players Association to roll up their sleeves as we're going to keep meeting until we get a deal instead of just Monday & Tuesday. It's like they're not taking any of this seriously.

Holy ….!

Welcome to my world...

Anson Mount is in Calgary this weekend for the Calgary Comic Con.

My son played qb for the Rifles in 2009 & 10 & coached in the BCFC in 2016 & 2017 & he agrees with you that the better players & superior quality of play are in the PFC. The day trips analogy is absolutely true. Vancouver Island has 2 teams & Kelowna has the Sun. Those 3 could compete in the PFC but the rest can't. The community in Kelowna is 110% behind their team. The support is tremendous.

Corbin just sucks the life out of any wrestling show that he's on.

If they can support a team in Chilliwack certainly a team in Brandon should be doable.

Having 2 separate brands doesn't work. Fans want to see the best talent in the ring on both shows. Same as on tv. Have 2 separate shows but have the best wrestlers on the WWE roster appear on both Raw & Smackdown.

We don't upgrade at free agency. We seem to be losing out on players available to help us. I just wonder how much of that is money, players not wanting to come or stay here or Chevy himself. Is there too much faith in our core?

Every player in the BCFC unless they had already been to another CFL training camp belong to the BC Lions. In Winnipeg, it's just the Rifles. Edmonton it's the Huskies & Wildcats. There's definitely unfairness in the system.

Other than Stasny or Hayes the past 2 seasons, we can't or refuse to trade for better players. We can't sign the ones long term that we do. Do players hate Winnipeg that much as a place to play or is this failure the fault of the GM?

Well there ya go. Maybe Daniels is still alive when Discovery arrives. (Temporal Cold War Future Guy).

I think 34th. But I think the Discovery writers forgot about the Temporal Cold War.

I hate Vegas as much as I do Anaheim.

No connection to anything. They are far enough in the future that they aren't bound by Star Trek Canon anymore. They can make their own. Kind of an easy way out for the writers, if you ask me.

Tilly just became annoying this season.
