Demski

Montreal has a rich owner as well.

Most of the league is either in trouble or right in the verge of being in trouble. Ham and bc are ok because their owners can eat it / buy fans and won’t sweat losses. We are rock solid of course. The rest, at best treading water. Even at that, if bc/ham had a sudden ownership turnover they’d be in serious trouble quickly. For us, we obviously have deep coffers now. And a strong fan base. But we did at the turn of the 90s to. If we had an extended competitive collapse, the eventual fan base exodus would be a massive problem for the league. The riders are half way down the toilet already. If the top draws in the league barely got 20k the tsn deal would plummet and total gate average would be serious trouble. The league is at a crossroads. New tsn deal soon, bunch of teams on the fringe, already failed to capitalize on a younger generation the new commish has his work cut out for him, and the board.

My partially qualified opinion… BC is ok because they can host every 3-4 Grey Cups. Calgary and Edmonton are both in real trouble. Like there’s no way they aren’t burning $5 million a year on operations. Need stadiums and play in really tough CFL markets in this era. Montreal loses a lot of money on operations and has no ability to make that back on hosting Grey Cups anymore. Toronto is as usual. Ottawa needs to win soon or they will be in trouble too. I don’t believe the earlier schedule has been positive for league revenue. If anything it’s harming them at the gate.

Put picks below. Results will be delayed till Wednesday when I get back to my office.

Elks are in big trouble.

Peyton Logan is gonna miss the entire season isnt he?

Picks this week need to be in by Thursday @ 8PM Standings are below:

He's on the PR.

Is haggarty due back? If so then person could come in and Kornelson out

If Demski's healthy, then it could be: Out: Cooley (A), Weitz (G) In: Oliveira (C), could be Person (A) or any American If Demski will sit this week, I hope they will put in Mitchell instead of Cobb, add a Canadian somewhere. Means Person can't be activated.

Thought this was interesting.

Ottawa is such gigantic blah of a team. Cheering for them must be a chore.

Did somebody tell Arbuckle this was the Grey Cup or something.

either him or Randolph....the other at RT....My guess is boh those guys will be the starters next yr....and good to see...2 young active Tackles that are being deveoped and could be here for 5..6 yrs at least...Unless Manu falls in our lap soon...then we have a Canadian option at one or the other and Vpool can slide back to guard sadly....most likely....par for the course here but maybe we get a surpise....as I havnt noticed him at all and I sure the coaches havnt either....but in Osh eyes sometimes that means nothing you can dump Cooley for that...Bailey for Weitz....and Person gets added for Korn or Thomas....then we cooking

Finish this sentence... You're an Ottawa RedBlacks fan &....

These head coaches just don't want to give up playcalling & will go down with their teams being completely overworked & overwhelmed. We see it all the time. They have no faith that anyone else can call the plays. Well, then stay an OC or DC otherwise delegate. That's what successful head coaches do. They ned to delegate & then let their assistants coach. Some like Hufnagel, Dinwiddie, Jones & Dickenson had success as HC's calling plays. Most fail epically.

You’re right. I’ve been watching too much Jets and NHL free agency stuff in between Bombers games.
