Literally anything other than practice is closed to the public again.

It's 5 short points and 2 of them are always the same. I don't need an essay, but damn...be more creative.

I like these, but that 5th "point" is getting annoying. YES we know the practices are closed...stop putting that as the 5th main point lol. You're ripping us off!!

I gotta say I find it a bit odd how you just make stuff up about the guy. He signed with edm after not being drafted, was released and signed with sask...then released again and signed with us. That all happened between 2017 and 2018...I guess that's a long time for a FA? And no one said he made the team due to his special teams play. YOU said he didn't play teams....when he did. I dont understand where you're getting the info your opinions are based on. Because all he has done when given the opportunity is produce. Both in the passing game and the run game. Saying all that, I wouldn't be surprised to see him released again this year with the young guys we have in camp.

Got my 2nd jab today!

Suspended list doesn't mean he's done for the year... I'd say MeKale McKay is a notable name as well. Was really hoping he would step up and show something in TC.

.....I don't buy it....This assumes people in TO only watch TO games. I know a lot of CFL fans and we all watch more then just Bomber/whatever team you cheer for games. I don't think there would be a huge drop off in viewership.

Fair enough if the audience is there. I still think getting a team into the GTA would be better for the CFL then the argos, even if they stay. And yeah that argument is always from people like Naylor who just want TO to be something that it isn't and hasn't been for nearly 2 decades.

This has been the argument for a while. And it could be that there is a decent viewership in that city. However considering the on going lack of overall support. I don't buy it. I also think this would open up an opportunity to start a team in the GTA somewhere.

This is what MLSE has always wanted. Good riddance I say. How far ahead would the CFL be if they didn't have to constantly float this franchise?

This is true, he's taken a few hits where I was surprised he got up. He's certainly tough!

I know! it's really annoying. And blanket statements too. ALL Liberals are wrong....about EVERYTHING....come on man..

Nichols sure. But I'm not convinced Arbuckle is anything more then a product of a solid system. He hasn't really impressed me all that much honestly.

Naylor now talking about how the XFL might just put a franchise in Canada. lol He just can't let go.

Sports Net (and some TSN employees) are challenging fans who complained about the XFL talks to "put their money where their mouth is". And honestly that straight up pisses me off. I've spent a damn fortune on this team, but my spending habits are the problem? **** right off. Sure they're mostly talking about the major markets that are lacking....but the logic bending that needs to happen, to assume fans who took the time to care/complain about those issues are also the fans that dont spend enough is ******* insulting. Tim from sports net even talked about how successful other domestic leagues are...well (I'm assuming) completely ignoring the way their media/social media accounts treat those leagues. I'm so sick of TSN/SN and the CFL blaming the fans for the ******* mess they're in. Fans have been complaining for years about lack of innovation from the league and the lack of actual support from the media, but noooo it's all on us? **** you! Ok rant over...

This (Bolded part) applies to how much we know about Roster management as well. As far as any of us know, they've tried to get Jennings/Franklin/Glenn/Allen/Dunigan to come back. They don't tell the fans about players they weren't able to sign. And again at the end of the day, it's up the the Vet player to WANT to come here to fight for a back up job which will likely end up being a PR spot. Good luck! As for the grooming QBs. This regimes score isn't great, but they do have 1 qb who won a back up job in the NFL and is hopefully on his way back before October. I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt with McGuire. Something else that is forgotten, Mcguire by most accounts out played Streveler in the 2019 preseason. Obviously there are a lot of factors in those games. But he has still shown that he can sit in the pocket and not look out of place.

exactly Steve. Bodog knows rider fans are dumb enough to dump money onto that bet. It has very little to do with actual playing ability.

I just can't fathom the amount of stupid it takes to make comments like that. "Like all liberals". Wtf.

A thing that is often forgotten by fans, is the team needs the vet player to WANT to come here. And in the case....come here and sit on the PR. Also I believe the report on Jennings is that he just doesn't put in the work needed to be a successful qb. And the culture of this team doesn't gel with that type of attitude.

It's really going to be interesting to see what happens when they're put back up. Pallister said toppling them was a waste of tax payer money cause now they have to be repaired/put back up. Which to me seems like an extra waste of money considering there is no chance in hell they aren't vandalized even more once that happens...outside of a 24/7 security team watching them...which would also be a waste of money.

"posed"

Basically what I'm trying to say. If you're offended at a statue being brought down or the way it was brought down. You should buckle up. Because I believe it will be getting much worse (unfortunately there will be numerous compounding issues as well) because those who hold the power will not be giving it up willingly (even if they say nice words/pass nice laws etc). Hopefully I'm wrong.

"I have no problem with getting rid of statues or changing the name of schools but do it lawfully. I don't agree with vandalism. Burning down churches solves what, exactly? Besides turning off mainstream society who believe in law & order. If things are to change then anarchy won't propel the change. It'll set back reconciliation. Eventually, I think that people who would support the cause of reconciliation will eventually get turned off." Those are your words right? What do you think reconciliation will entail? I'm saying that I don't believe there will be reconciliation without vandalism/violence/law breaking. I think it is an unfortunate outcome of reconciliation. I'm also saying that those are the things that bring about major societal changes like reconciliation. At least throughout history. I understand people think we can move forward with reconciliation with nice words/policies/laws etc. I just don't think that will happen. Because for true reconciliation to happen, there would need to be a power swing/change. And like I mentioned, those in power don't just turn it over. I saw a meme online that said something like this: "You came for our children, we came for your statues" Quite frankly we are extremely lucky that only statues and buildings have fallen. I'm not sure I'd show the same grace if it were my children being discovered.

Just go look at a map of what the Spaniards conquered and what the brits conquered. I'm not saying the other empires didn't do a lot of bad ****. But the British are in a league of their own.
