You really think Collaros is making $200,000 less than Burris did last year? Oh, I get it from the player for a respected coach angle, the up and coming team angle, the closer to home angle. I'm just sick on teams in S. Ontario getting bail out $$ and crying poor and then doing this. If those bastards want to do that, then cut teams in the West like Winnipeg a check first for all the $$$ we've sent your way over the years.

Bob Young has claimed to lose $$$ every year that he has owned the team. Bob Young spends like a druken sailor on shore leave every year. I don't like this.

That said, Hamilton's NI talent on D (Butler, Laurent, Bulcke etc) and overall is formidable. On the flipside, outside of reciever, Edmonton's NI talent looks awful.

True, a little annoying that Hamilton cries poor and then does this. Biggest reason why I don't like revenue sharing. Ok, bitching over.

Wow, big signing. How is Hamilton managing their cap with signing Butler, Laurent, Collaros, Lawrence etc and having guys like Fantuz on board?

With Lucas as a starting DT, that's essentially a way of putting the 7th NI spot as a rotation correct. As in Lucas starts but Newman may come in to play lb or safety or Briggs at lb or Bucknor at field corner and Alexander moving to safety.

Taylor Renuad has some nice catches as well. Ford looked good running the ball.

Oh and I miss Marty Gold, he was great.

Disagree on Westwood, he is terrible. Uninformed and arrogent. Disagree on Lawless being a huge breaker of stories. Also don't think Hustler and Lawless is an amazing show but Lawless is getting better. I do like how H&L devote a lot of time to the local teams (Jets and Bombers).

Waitm we cut starting RG Randy Richards?

I believe articles have said Anderson was doing well or even winning his morning slot. CJOB is clearly going downhill. Disagree on 1290, most of it is terrible. If you get a chance, listen to ESPN, that's good sports radio.

I think Suber is the vet who is most likely to get cut in the secondary.

Actually most historians would put Rodmon Roblin in the good category.

I recall Skittlebits, Joey Gregorash came to my school. Also Buckly and Beave to say, have a radical time today on MTN. I be old.

Just heard Florey on 1290, my blunt assessment, Flory is an uneducated idiot. So in the CFLPA's proposal according to him, the floor is 4.8 million, the top amount is 5.8, so they're only asking teams to spend 4.8 million plus the bonuses. Yeah, cause all teams will do that. Plus if they do, you won't cry collusion. The bonus is for all their hard work etc. We deserve more yada, yada, yada. If you think about it, even if you go from 4.4 million to 4.8 million plus the vet bonus that's 1 million more. But more likely 4.4-5.8 million is 1.4 +.6 so spend 2 million more this year or most of your new tv $. Sure Ottawa is new and has folded twice. Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton all lose $ and BC is year to year. Guy couldn't run a lemonaide stand.

Will Marve surprise as #3 but potential to rise?

Anybody else worried about all the Import OL?

1. I'd pay $5 to run the bus, there and back. 2. The city should charge them the regular rate not the charter rate. 3. Sammy is playing politics looking out for his buddy or seemingly trying to do enough to get elected again (see his reversal on rapid transit). 4. The media should hammer Sammy on his crap.

Are the players willing to help cover losses? Stadium debt? Isn't that what a partner does?

Like the positive relationship that seems to be developing. Would love it if Goodrich eventually becomes our version of Andrew Harris.

Exactly how high are the ticket prices in Ottawa and Hamilton going to be. THE CFLPA seems to think that their new barns means they will earn revenues similar to Winnipeg but ours holds 33500 and theirs are around 24000 I believe. That means ours holds 40% more fans, so are they going to have ticket prices 40% higher?

I want the Spider-Man shirt. I'm going to hold my breath until one of you buys me one.

Actually the biggest thing I agree with is increasing the salary for the grunts. I think $50,000 going to $55,000 is a good offer. If it went from $45,000-$55,000 to an eventual $60,000 over the life of the deal that would be fine too. In terms of teams making money, Winnipeg did but we have a huge stadium debt, Riders did and they have stadium debt too or will shortly. Toronto never seems to make $. Hamilton usually loses $ and they'll owe $ too with their stadium. Calgary made money but needs a new barn. It's not the 1990s but I'd say we're not out of danger yet.

I thought the CFL's latest proposol was fair, upping the minimum to $50,000, increases to the overall SMS levels. The thing is how many teams make money: Winnipeg, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, BC, Calgary? Toronto and Hamilton don't and pretty sure the Als don't. Players need to make sure they don't kill the golden goose.

5 million might work but given that Winnipeg and Saskatchewan, two clubs that actually make $ have huge stadium debts, the players need to realize they can't be greedy. What is Bob Young decides he's sick of losing $? Braley?
