Equally unlikely (moreso becasue no one is trying) is a team in London. Agree. And honestly we have enough hard luck franchises in major cities in need of serious attention. Seems like we are in the last season of the Toronto argos in the cfl. Let’s focus on bc tor and Mtl.

rebusrankin Posted June 10, 2022 Report Posted June 10, 2022 It would be really nice if the CFL could find an owner for the Argos who is like the new owner in BC. Mark F, bigg jay, Noeller and 2 others 3 2

It's too early to know if the changes in BC will turn things around long term but at least their owner seems to give a s**t and is actively trying to make the team successful. The same cannot be said for Tannenbaum. Sard, Mark F, rebusrankin and 2 others 4 1

I think MLSE will move the argos to the XFL next year. The league isnt going to essentially start manage and run an entire franchise in a year. 34 minutes ago, rebusrankin said: It would be really nice if the CFL could find an owner for the Argos who is like the new owner in BC. sure would.

I assume that the CFL would have language in the partnership agreement that would prevent the Argos (brand and organization) to leave the CFL. I wouldn't be surprised to see them start a new XFL team, though. The Toronto Empty Seats. Noeller, wbbfan and bigg jay 3

But this is the same league that fell for the gliebermens, twice, allowed a crook and 2 stars to buy their way to winning, had 6 us franchises fail, 2 more fail to start playing, has seen its franchise in our nations capitol fold more times than an origami crane, and whose biggest modern moves are a global punter draft + terrible pop country crap. I assume nothing of the CFL.

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 Als owner really needs to not talk to media. What a dolt. Quote “This year will tell if we’re just talk or real — and I believe we’re real,” Stern said. “If it doesn’t come together, I have a lot of questions. We owe it to the fans to put a team together that’s entertaining and wins. If the team wins and is entertaining, I don’t see why they won’t come out. If they don’t … you have to look at your own internal organization.” “This season will determine what the CFL and Als are about. If not, by midseason, you’ll see me take action, although I’m not sure what that means.” “I’m a big man and I’m not stupid,” Stern told the Gazette. “I knew what I was getting into. Am I putting in way more work than I thought? Yes. Way more money? Yes. I admit I could have handled some things differently. It’s nobody’s fault. Last year, I don’t know how anybody could have made money; we knew we weren’t. I can’t blame people for not coming out.” “The fans are passionate and love it; there’s just not enough of them. It’s up to ownership and the team to give them what they need. Then if they don’t come, you go as a business person and say I think we have a problem.” wbbfan, Jesse, BBlink and 1 other 1 3

Super Duper Negatron Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 Can someone explain the USFL to me? How are they able to play in front of literally empty stadiums?

They are just playing in a couple cities I believe even though the teams are all belonging to different cities.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 Quebec City Argonautes. It's like the same population as Winnipeg and a future stadium would be good for Winter Oly nomination.

They are playing in a single host city. Like they planned to do for the cancelled season here. The home team draws ok. The others draw less than friends and family. It’s just a loss leader for slot filling like jbr said. I don’t think it’ll last as is.
Mark F Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) During one of the games, probably season opener, Milt said Danny Maccioca wants Khari's job. Then he said "there. I said it" bad situation for Khari. Edited June 12, 2022 by Mark F Tracker 1
