They were very public about how poor of a draft class it was last year. It happens.

This is just a wild thing think never mind actually say out loud....

I will take this a step further, now that I'm working in advertising sales... I would bet that Bombers sponsors have a package that includes ____ number of appearances at their business per year...

It's so frustrating how they play to the lowest common denominator. Always beating you over the head instead of letting you figure it out for yourself. I get that's what network TV is but it's increasingly difficult with the advent of quality prestige streaming.

I live for the annual complaining about lack of coverage....

In Alberta this is always true.

I'm sure she's as sick of all the ******* forced exposition as everyone else.... Every time I see poor Dean Norris in Organized Crime I'm like "this poor bastard was in Breaking Bad and now it's down to this....?"

I know... There's a bit of a chicken and egg situation with this. You can definitely argue that there's not enough demand because TSN hasn't created demand. I'm not sure who's totally right but this just feels like one of those "it's too small of a league in too small of a country" type things. I'm not sure the money will ever be there to justify it no matter what. What you really need is some top level people in both Bell and the major advertiser types like Tim's, Canadian Tire, etc, to be big CFL fans and make it happen...

It's expensive to produce a live broadcast of anything. If they don't have the viewership to command and dollars, they can't justify the cost of production. It sucks for us, but CFL+ doing it with just in house video feeds is the cheapest possible thing they can do. There's just not enough CFL diehards out there.

The Mark Critch impression of Rex is more important than Rex. So unfortunate how he became a true wack job in recent years.

Apparently Oliveira and Demski on the Injured Veterans List to start camp. Osh says they're gonna give them extra time to be ready but that they're not worried about them.

thanks to DT for updates:

In case anyone missed it, Osh was asked about the Argos/Kelly situation yesterday: WEIGHING IN: O’Shea was asked after practice Wednesday about the nine-game suspension levied against Toronto Argonauts QB Chad Kelly. He said he would not comment on the length of suspension because ‘that’s not in my wheelhouse.’ “But I do feel very strongly that the women that work in our league deserve a safe workplace and deserve to be respected — everybody deserves to be respected and have a safe workplace,” he said. “The women in our league, and there’s a lot of them, really deserve to feel safe coming to work every day. That kind of question should be posed to the women in our organization to see if they do feel safe and respected in this workplace — I believe they do, but far be it for me to answer that. They certainly deserve our support and I know organizationally we make good decisions.”

Never underestimate the Oilers ability to completely Oiler it up out there.... classic.

I still have to watch the newest season of Gemstones, but my goodness Goggins is incredible as Baby Billy. When his baby mama tracks him down at that mall he's preaching at and he tries to drive away without them seeing him.... few times I have laughed harder than that scene.

Block, Mute, etc.... it's your best friend.

Every time I see that ad I'm like "and THIS guy somehow pulled chicks from Wise Guys one after another..... Wild...."

Kramdi was a guy who I thought seemed to get better with every rep last year. I don't think it's insane to think he takes another step this year and becomes a really good NI starter...

maybe I'm expecting too much, but I fully expect Tyrell Ford to be a Day 1 starter for this team...

the Nucks goaltending situation combined with the Oilers PP should mean the Oilers tear them apart, but I've been a fan long enough to know the Oilers will always **** their pants when they shouldn't, so 'Nucks in 4??? Wouldn't shock me.
