Interesting detail.... 

 

 

So, each team is in charge of their own votes. It's not cumulative of all players.

Interesting tidbit: "Commencing in 2023, the CFL will have the option to move the season up by as much as 30 days". 30 days seems a little too much, but even moving the season up a couple of weeks will help with Grey Cup weather.

30 days ago we had a blizzard lol

We also get blizzards in October and November, what's your point?

Yeah and the NFL plays outside in green bay and Chicago in January.  The point is cold weather = football. A snowstorm in November is different than the one in April

I miss the Canada Day opening weekend. 

That was my favourite.

I still don't know what your point is. How is April snow different from October snow?

"Among the miscellaneous items of interest to fans, Canadian players returning from the NFL with more than three years of experience will no longer be required to sign slotted rookie contracts. Each year of NFL service will count towards one season of their CFL rookie deal. "

This is a good change to a dumb rule. Glad this got fixed

[Noeller]

Also, starting next year, the minimum salary goes up and it's applicable to every nationality. Not sure if that's enough to being back Hansen this year but it's something...

In October the snow is more frosty...😉

Lost in the CBA stuff is this CFC Showcase Game, coached by Dunigan and Sanchez (??) similar to the CHL Top Prospects game that used to be coached by Orr and Cherry...

So TSN and the CFL have two employees/former players involved in this and couldn't even retweet this ****? lol. the NFL is advertising for their Thanksgiving games already. But yeah the ratio is the problem with the CFL. 

There just is no vision for growing this game it seems. I have no faith in the league to actually change what needs changing.

Tsn rarely misses the opportunity to disappoint

But hey, we'll get to listen to some shitty ass country pop tune for the next 6 months! That'll get people pumped!

[Noeller]

Jamie Nye with the details on the new ratio rules (in 2023):

It's just the most CFL thing ever to have completely pooched this.....

[Bigblue204]

I used to like poke fun at how bad the CFL and or TSN was at marketing the game....It's no longer a joke. It's become a serious problem that the league needs to fix asap.

This league is ******* doomed.

I've been saying this for years. The CFL big forehead thinkers are clueless. It's very frustrating. Someone like Victor Cui should be running the CFL marketing. The guy understands & knows how to grow the league.

Let's wait and see what he does with L(k)'s first. I'm not sold.

Snow is snow, yes. But fall snow & football go together. Fans are invested in their teams as the playoff are on. Not during TC. It's just different timing. How are teams supposed to prepare for the season when the weather in the Prairie Provinces is so shittty in April. And rest assured, it always is.
