    Junxion got "directors suites" the kind that have heated lazyboy recliners where they serve u food and drinks?

     

    Nope.  They may have in theatre food/drink service one day (it was advertised as a feature when it was announced) but it's not a thing yet.

    Landmark now has "premiere" seating which has the heated seats and stuff.  Checking out Dungeons and Dragons there tomorrow, and will be in those seats so we'll see how they are.

    Some more reading material for the upcoming draft.  Barker gives out a couple backhanded compliments that made me chuckle like saying one guy is "a solid USPORTS LB with no special qualities".  One receiver doesn't run very well but hey he catches everything... well except 50/50 balls anyway. 😂

    this feels like a really big loss to the off-field product. This kid is/was SO GOOD at everything he did. We had the best social media content in the league because of him. Hope they can find someone even half as good to fill the role........

    we'll definitely miss you, @rileymarra!!
     

     

    Huge loss for the team and fans.  Riley always put out great stuff.

    Maybe the team looks at stealing Nik Kowalski back from the Lions?  IIRC he kinda studied under Riley while he worked for the Bisons and he has been putting out some nice stuff on the left coast.

    He uses the bonus cap a lot for late season additions, and in the case of last year moving future cap hits to a previous years bonus cap. 
    The cfl cap isn’t by any means the nba in terms of complexity but Walters plays chess while most of the league plays checkers with the cap. 

    Yeah, looking through that series of articles and comparing what each team is doing (at least as it relates to the highest paid players), Walters has us paying out the least in bonuses (about $125k) but still being middle of the pack when it comes to how much hard money has been paid out ($2.53 million).

    Obviously it's not a complete picture of a teams total payroll but  here are some numbers for those interested:

    Least hard money paid out:  BC - $2.32 million

    Most hard money: Hamilton - $3.11 million

    Average Hard Money: $2.61 million

    Most bonus money: Montreal - $539k

    Least bonus money:  Winnipeg: $125k

    Average bonus money: $295k

    Weirdest salary spending: Montreal has the most number of players listed (20) in that series of articles so they are spending a lot but I'm not sure they're seeing a lot of value.  They have 5 of the top 20 highest paid RB/FB's which seems pretty excessive to me but I guess when you have Faj as your QB, the passing game probably won't be your strong suit!

    I don't know...I mean it could...but it doesn't have to. I have been in many cities with very nice pedestrian overpasses. I can't see why they couldn't build something a little nicer than that.

    You're right they could probably come up with something a little nicer looking but safety would definitely have to be factored into the design (the city learned that the hard way at the Millenium Library a few years ago) so it wouldn't be an open concept like they've provided.

    I've read the article over a few times,  all that I've seen is him saying that he was disappointed with the presentation that was given to them on Friday based on the lack of details on the construction costs and what they plan on doing for the underground portion.  I didn't see anything about the future public engagements and him complaining about it?

    He's conflating two different projects so yeah he's going to be disappointed if he's expecting information that was out of scope for this one.
