Anything fun come of out this?

Need is a key word. I've had to explain wants and needs (not to anyone on this board) FAR too many times to grown adults during this pandemic. No, you're yoga class is not something you NEED to attend, No you don't NEED to have a band practice. No you don't NEED a board game night.

It's not. I've said it mutiple times. In times of desperation (war, famine, illness etc.) Sports is always...ALWAYS. The first to go. As seen by the NBA/NHL etc. Making it essential would be a very bad mistake by any political party.

there won't ever be CFL football with no fans. It's not financially possible for any CFL team. The CFL is a ticket driven league. Also no open borders. No american players. No CFL ball. The CFL is talking the good talk right now. As they should be, because anything is possible. Don't cancel until there is absolutely no other choice/time left. But unless some kind of miracle occurs, I just don't see how any sport is played this year, outside of the NFL which doesn't need fans in the stands.

I forgot how much I hated Sanchez as a player. Just a total ass, who played dirty. Thankfully he never played for the bombers. That kickoff from the oppositions 40 or whatever was pretty awesome too. I forgot about that. Should have just tried for an onside kick rather then going for the TD...

hands down the absolute worse take on this topic.

Yeah I've never been able to find the home game against BC....but I do have a copy of the West semi on my computer that I downloaded off youtube. I might be able to send you a copy if you want to forward me your email? Fyi you can easily download videos off youtube, so that you have a copy if they are taken down...I think I have 7 or 8 games (all W's) from last year on my computer.

Yeah I read somewhere that the way it's written was more in line, if the league folds, as in it's not coming back, then the players would be FA (obviously) and it's not specifically for situations like this where play is being stopped basically via government order. Again, 3rd down is looking for stories (just like other sports media) where there really isn't any. I don't blame them at all either...I just wish people would stop taking everything they say as the word of god.

It's extremely complicated unfortunately. I heard an example from a physician who said he had a patient who technically died of a heart attack. However, it was due to the Covid virus. The extra stress on the body, anxiety from slowly getting worse etc led to a heart attack. So while it's not Covid that killed him directly, it was still very much involved in his death...so where does he land in the stats? Should he be a covid death? I don't know....but it's not just as black and white as some politicians/media etc (on both sides) make it out to be.

This amazing!! So pumped. BUT, they show may 8th is gonna be Wpg vs SSK from July 27th 2007. I thought that was odd, as I don't remember that game....when I looked it up via wikipedia it says it was Wpg vs Ham... Who's right? And the next week is WPG vs BC from 2012... If it's WPG vs Ham from 2007 (38-16 W) and WPG vs BC from 2012 (33-16 L) seems like some odd games to re-show..? I don't remember the games myself, but they seem like real stinkers (aside from the bombers winning the Ham game.) You'd think they'd show only the exciting games.

I mean, he's not completely wrong. Business will still happen and does still happen in places with high taxes.

Yup, wasn't it the Texas Govenor who said church services are an essential service?

Has anyone **** on the way Pallister is handling all of this?

S.J does not deserve that one.

Hardrick was just on.

Saw that. Pretty awesome. Demski was just on too.

fair enough. I was speaking to having TSN feed only....which brings up the TSN contract...wonder how that would fly? Could certainly be done...but wouldn't be easy. Keeping it as is though and with empty seats could not be done without seriously hurting every team in the league. EDIT: Thinking about this a little more. They would really need to charge a lot for the PPV for it to make sense. As like most PPV events, people don't watch alone. So instead of 10-15 individual tickets being sold, it would be 1 PPV that could have 4+ people watching (depending on the COVID thing I guess)...It's still better then nothing though. But I'm not sure it would be enough...

Yeah people talking about CFL games in empty stadiums, is a pipe dream. No way the CFL could survive doing that. I didn't think an outright canceled season would be that harmful though...wonder where the cost piles up if that were to happen.

I don't know if anyone actually read the article. But Dicky was asked about him. I don't even think what he said was that bad. And it seems to be true if you look at his body of work last year, as the season went on he seemed to get less interested. I don't really think he "called him out". Just answered the question that was asked. Just another classic 3rd down "Make an issue where there isn't any" article.

The fact you're calling people comic book nerds is hilarious.

Old man Noeller strikes again! Lol

I'm almost completely sold on there being no CFL this year.

Jesus...some are getting hit hard by this quarantine thing eh. Lol.
