CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Mark F replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
pff wants input PFF's CFL Content - What do you want to see? Hey r/CFL! I'm PFF's resident Canadian and have been for quite some time (there's a few of us here now). As some of you may have already seen, after years of me begging for us to do CFL, we have officially partnered with the league! Obviously the main part of that partnership is our data, as we will be grading and analyzing the 2023 CFL season and the seasons to come. But another part of it is content, and covering the CFL on the media side of our company. I know personally I want to use our platform at PFF to help spread the word about the CFL to an audience that likely does not know much about it. The CFL has great players and a great style of football that I think a lot of American football fans would love if they gave us a chance. So that's certainly one of my goals. We've already started with some content, I've attached a few links below to show what we've done so far, to give you an idea of the content that we've been trying for. But we want to hear from you as well! You guys have been watching the game for years. You've seen how it's been covered here (and how little its been covered in America). We're very interested in hearing what kind of content you'd like to see from us. Whether it be interviews, data-driven studies, recaps, previews, etc, you name it. If there's anything that you think has been missing from a CFL content standpoint, please let me know. We think there's a huge opportunity for us to help push the CFL to a larger audience, and we want true CFL fans to help us do it. So please feel free to respond to this post, or message me, if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks, and looking forward to hopefully hearing from you all!. reddit -
started "inconvenient Indian" but did not enjoy it enough to read it. not sure why. maybe a bit too much of an autobiographical theme. found a writer by chance.... started one book, like it a lot. ( changed my mind see below) Olga Tokarczuk. Polish, Nobel prize. book "drive your plow over the bones of the dead" "at night I observe Venus, closely following the transitions of this beautiful damsel. I prefer her as the evening star, when sne appears as if out of nowhere, as if by magic, and goes down behind the sun. a spark of eternal light. it is at dusk that the most interesting things occur, for that is when simple differences fade away. I could live in everlasting dusk" some beautiful descriptions of winter, snow, wind, light, cold, that Prairie dwellers all understand. will see. later. upon further review, this is a depressing book. good writer, too grim for me.

I dont mind the roster discussion at all. I try to learn from it. said this a few days ago. I am just joking a bit.

redditor opinion re canadian team champion chamces. "Well, let's take a look at each team and how far out they might be. Canucks -cap crunch and not enough depth. Once they get rid of myers and ekman-larsson then maybe they could afford some better defense. 5-10 years from potentially winning. Calgary -tough to say how good this roster will be with the new coach. Reassment will be made after next season, but if huberdeau doesn't improve and the goaltending stays problematic then i dont see them making it far anytime soon. 5-10 years or longer, pending on when they want to rebuild. Oilers -if they don't get close in the next 3 years they have to rebuild. Draisaitl will need a huge raise and with nurse's horrendeous contract it will be hard to build something competitive. Jets -rebuild within the next 2 seasons. Window has closed, once the rebuild starts it will be reassessed. But im not looking forward to it. Winnipeg is a hard town to attract free agents to and their youth pool is mid range. Leafs Next 3 years. After that, they might need to rebuild. All of the forward core are on expiring contracts with potentially high aav. Canadiens Huge potential with the youth on this team. Not too many terrible contracts right now, and they have a ton of grit. They have a huge window opening in a year or two. Could make a serious run if they get solid goaltending and all the young offensive weapons continue to develop. Ottawa Same boat as the Canadiens. If they can stay healthy and find more consistent goaltending then they could make some serious playoff runs. Their roster is filled with unique, talented and gritty players who are already meshing well. Window opens next year, could last 6-8 years depending on if they keep all of the great young talent they have."

as wallace said in the article..... this started with the "wacko libruls" Markey, alexandria ocasio cortez, the squad, who promoted the Green New Deal, which became Biden's inflation reduction ract. Nancy Pelosi, mocked them on this, and mocked the idea of renewable energy economy. pelosi , . thankful that she left the stage.

wish I could link to this nyt article. David Foster Wallace author. "Last year, according to analysis by Idea Smiths, existing wind and solar power reduced the state’s (Texas) wholesale energy spending by about $11 billion — almost three times the savings of the previous year. According to research by Energy Innovation, the green-energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act are poised to create more than 100,000 jobs in Texas by 2030 — which would add more than $15 billion to the state economy over that time. The gains are estimated to be similar in Florida, where Energy Innovation projects more than 85,000 new jobs and $10 billion in state G.D.P. gains by 2030. But it’s not just a couple of red states: The logic of the energy transition has been transformed across the country. A decade ago, after the collapse of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, it seemed intuitive to most Americans that without expensive political interventions and market manipulations, market forces and consumer preference would keep fossil fuels dominant in America, leaving green energy for the moralists and the saints. It was a caricature, even then, but a common one: that fossil fuels had every competitive advantage, and that green energy couldn’t thrive in the status-quo environment, requiring instead political interventions and market manipulations to clear a path toward viability. Just a couple of years ago, when the progressive Squad in Congress first began touting a Green New Deal, the talking points on the right were the same: a green energy revolution would immiserate Americans, and bringing it about would require considerable and heavy-handed distortions to the energy market. We live in a different world now, just a few years later. It is no longer clean energy that requires political interventions for survival. And increasingly it is fossil fuels flailing about for political lifelines to impede market forces. Partly because of the climate-forward interventions of the infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act, and partly because of market and cultural momentum much larger than American energy legislation, the status quo has been effectively inverted. A few months ago, after the passage of the I.R.A., I wrote that the wave of new investment could accelerate American depolarization over green energy, since so much of the money was flowing to red states and districts. The path was never going to be smooth, and there were some brief digressions in that narrative; the Texas standoff is just one of the recent bumps in the road. There’s also been the transitory Republican threat in debt-ceiling negotiations to scuttle the I.R.A. tax incentives, and scattershot fights by state legislatures and attorneys general against socially conscious investments. But in the big picture it looks like these are just bumps along the same road. The trend predates the impacts of the I.R.A. Solar power is already as much as 33 percent cheaper than gas power in the United States, according to an analysis from last year; onshore wind may be nearly 45 percent cheaper. And when American investors are drawn to opportunities, they find themselves overwhelmingly in red states like Texas. When Bloomberg analyzed green energy investment in the summer of 2022, before the passage of the bill, it found that of the 14 congressional districts with the most wind, solar and battery tech capacity, 13 were represented by Republicans and only one by a Democrat. This was, in its way, as logical as it might have seemed counterintuitive — more than two-thirds of American renewable potential today resides in mostly rural areas, which lean heavily Republican. The I.R.A. turbocharged these dynamics. A bill originally estimated at $370 billion may ultimately yield a trillion dollars or more in federal subsidies, and the result is already an unprecedented manufacturing boom — with some measures of new construction almost doubling year over year and projections suggesting the trend will only grow. Nearly a hundred new clean energy manufacturing facilities or factory expansions have been announced since the bill, marking more than $70 billion in new investment, according to Canary Media. This is the rundown offered by the former director of President Biden’s National Economic Council, Brian Deese, last month: Companies have announced at least 31 new battery manufacturing projects in the United States. That is more than in the prior four years combined. The pipeline of battery plants amounts to 1,000 gigawatt-hours per year by 2030 — 18 times the energy storage capacity in 2021, enough to support the manufacture of 10 million to 13 million electric vehicles per year. In energy production, companies have announced 96 gigawatts of new clean power over the past eight months, which is more than the total investment in clean power plants from 2017 to 2021." I read elsewhere renewable investment is now triple that of fossil.

thanks, really good points. 40000 acre farm seems not good to me. Hard for me to understand the economics of it. I guess most of it is leased would't you think? would make the thirties era farmers ill. different thing.... I have a friend who worked on a cattle ranch (real cowboy, breaking horses, roping, branding, herding cattle) in the early sixties in Saskatchewan... 52 sections. talk about a hard job. part of the oxarart ranch I think. https://consulmuseum.ca/2016/05/04/michel-oxarart/

@Fatty Liver looked this up. "Hypoxia occurs most often, however, as a consequence of human-induced factors, especially nutrient pollution (also known as eutrophication). The causes of nutrient pollution, specifically of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, include agricultural runoff, fossil-fuel burning, and wastewater treatment effluent. Hypoxia and Climate Change Changes in both global and regional climates have the potential to make coastal and marine ecosystems even more vulnerable to hypoxic conditions. NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) carries out interdisciplinary research to advance understanding of the relationship between ecosystem function and climate change. This type of research will ultimately assist decision makers and resource managers as they address the challenges of protecting ecosystems in a changing climate." https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/hazards/hypoxia/ it is tough to share the planet with homo sapiens.

yeah, but how's their roster management.
