Cfl 2020

[Tecumsehsbones]

Sadly, I think the CFL is passing up a golden opportunity to expand into the South of the Border market. By delaying the 24 May pre-season start until at least the beginning of July, they are squandering the chance to get lots and lots of American eyes on, in the middle of the sports desert.

Rigid testing and playing in empty stadiums would ultimately redound to the CFL's benefit.

Mistake, in my opinion.

CFL should take a good look at the sky-high TV numbers the Bundesliga got last week, and ask the Bundesliga for its exposure-control protocols.

They opened the league to Bundesliga players last year. There were quite a few keepers out of Europe.

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Roughriders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Roughriders roll
Look what you done started
Asked for it, you got it
Had it, should have shot it
Now you're dearly departed
Get at me, dog; did I rip shit?
With this one here, I flip shit
Niggas know when I kick shit
It's gonna be some slick shitk
What was that look for
When I walked in the door?
Oh, you thought you was raw?
Boom! Not anymore
'Cause now you on the floor
Wishin' you never saw
Me walk through that door
With that four-four
Now it's time for bed
Two more to the head
Got the floor red
Yeah, that nigga's dead
Another unsolved mystery
Is goin' down in history
Niggas ain't never did shit to me
Bitch ass niggas can't get to me
Gots to make the move
Got a point to prove
Gotta make 'em grove
Got 'em all like "ooo"
So the next time
You hear this nigga rhyme
Try to keep your mind
On gettin' pussy and prime
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Talk is cheap motha****a!

Saskatchewan government commits $3 million to Regina's bid as CFL hub city

It would be a pretty good deal for Sask. but IMO Winnipeg is probably a better choice because of it's central location in Canada

 

[Twin_Moose]

Tentative for now

Regina loses bid to host tentative CFL season; Winnipeg named hub city

Their stadium is way the hell out at UofM which has dorms sitting empty to house players away from the city core.

Of course they did some foreign country or Liberal partisan company needs the money more than a couple Million Canadians that enjoy watching the sport

First time in literally a century with no Grey Cup.

I'll go put on my Redblacks jersey in sympathy.

 

[Mowich]

And this was going to be our year, damn it! Riders Rule! Now I'm going to make myself a very stiff drink.

This means that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be defending CFL champions for two years.

Good(ish) for the Bombers, I guess.

I'm angry and sad by turns at this news. You only have to look briefly at the history of the CFL to see that it's everything Canada claims to value: a great tradition going back well over a century, inclusive, popular, unifying, an economic benefit, and jam-packed with great tales of struggle and glory. It's also faster-paced and way more fun than the NFL (not to mention being far and away the oldest NAF organization). What the f*ck is the government thinking?

I would love to see the NFL step up and come across with the loan, but that ain't gonna happen either.

Small thinking. Cowardly, cautious, and just piss-poor business, as well as a betrayal of Canadian culture.

Oh, well, at least the money will go to support transgender non-White spoken-word blank verse poetry about exclusion and climate disaster playing to empty theatres and coffeehouses in TO.

Seeing many of the players on one year deals that would expire in Feb opting out. Sounds like veterans will get $6600 with their outright release. Can't see why anyone on a one year would stay for the CEWB.

CFL never did come up with much. As much as they are all Canada there has been an new emerging management sector that is sucking a lot of money from the fans and away from the players. CFL needs reform big time. It could be much better with a few small changes. None of which have anything to do with going global.

Sad news with the passing of David Braley today.

Can't think of anyone who contributed more to the survival of the league. BC was fortunate that he had their back for time he did.
