Is Frederickson standing out in practice or this a last shot ala Myron Mitchell?

The sad thing is I think the league feels like rule changes will have a positive impact on their fanbase within Canada too.

Not giving TE or BP much help is an odd way for development. I expect the O to struggle week 1. I think I’d have given Zach and the starters a quarter at the least. Fredrickson must really stand out at practice tho cuz dude sucked during the game.

Im ready for the disappointment of us being married to Jones-kyrie starting at mac/wil and DIing Ayers.

How very Farhan of him. Personally, I would put TE on the PR at that point. I think he still has development sitting for a year and watching. Keep brown ready to go and have Bryce do the short yardage stuff. Pretty much. Some teams don't want to sit on a QB controversy, though. It is very distracting unless you have an incredible locker room to manage it. Imo, ott doesn't have that. I could very well be wrong about that. I don't think that Dinwiddie gives a crap, though. I think he's happy to sit on any QB talent he likes. But, I don't think he cares for Brown. Unless mccheese becomes some kind of revelation, I could see him trading for one of his 2 old QBs in toronto. They do need AR assets. Lauther is probably the last K in the league any one would want, and that OL needs work.

Lack of talent and charisma forces the guy into being a "jerk" to get any sort of attention. I read his post which was complete nonsense. I'd like to think the majority of CFL fans who watch on tv are part of the older demographics who do not engage in online trolling. Soooo the league is changing the rules and field because of International fans or because they are moving towards catering to an American fan......

There was a hint from Darren Cameron on the Handled Internally podcast yesterday that Wade is cooking something up for season ticket members. No details available but it was mentioned around the 9 minute mark of the podcast.

Might not happen right away but Ottawa may want to get something for him while they can. It's the last year of his contract and I'm testing FA if I'm Dru. He re-worked his contract so the team could be more aggressive in free agency and his thanks was a demotion to go along with the pay cut. Dinwiddie doesn't seem like his biggest fan so he's probably better off elsewhere.

Ya but why would Ottawa want to get rid of Dru? He doesn't have a monster contract. Between him and Mayor they're basically at Kellys pay aren't they? The chances of the Mayor getting hurt behind that OL are likely pretty high right now and they can't afford another losing season, due to injury or not.

The CFL could easily do this. This is exactly what the NFL does and holds it out as a separate product. In general the inevitability here is the CFL being pressured to be a spring league as a TV property. And that kind of kills the existing business. It’s the typical CFL story of chasing the sugar high unsustainably. Skalbania, McNall, US expansion….

The problem is you're making the CFL less accessible to fans by putting games on an obscure platform... it's a risk and sure they get a big payout now but what if that doesn't last? My opinion the biggest thing the cfl needs is a grass roots effort to get support in all cities. Until they do that the league will always be on the brink of disaster.

Sounds like something they may consider just to get some new people subscribing, much like TSN does with TSN+. You can watch all of TSN CFL games with some enhancements, minus the pregame stuff plus a couple of other sporting events for only $8.00 per month rather than the regular $29.95 to get all of TSN. For me it works perfectly because I'm not really interested in any of the other TSN programing.

Nothing against the UFL MVP, but how about a trip of Zach, Dru and Ermagherdsma, if we could afford it?? LFG.

In a water is wet type of revelation, Farhan posted that Dru has an interest in returning to the Bombers. Well no ****... He didn't want to leave in the first place but needed to for a chance to be a starter.

Smart move yes but O'Shea won't move away from Ayers to open another spot.

So if I’m reading this correctly people who already prob pay for Amazon or Netflix (I do that) are upset cfl games are on another service they don’t currently pay for? Cool story. You can’t want change and for the cfl to be successful long term when you old geezers ;) die out then complain when they do things. Thats crazy talk. Thats not in my backyard stadium talk. This is what is needed and who is to say this will fail, maybe the cfl plus numbers suggest more international fans are watching than people think. Also. Why is it hard to believe right now that we would maybe be trying the international route instead of the USA route right now? Is anyone paying attention to what’s going on there like at all? Canada as a whole is distancing ourselves from the USA. I’ll bet cfl plus numbers showed a large number of international fans were watching.

Nah, normally its conditional middle draft pick for a qb. And once a team demotes a guy, its tough to get any asset for them as the contracts are soo high they are heavily incentivized to cut those guys and teams can wait and pick them up, on a better deal, for free.

You know what i would love to see? And option to buy just cfl games ans then I could watch cfl and only cfl on whatever streaming service had that particular game.

Actually one of the interesting things I read yesterday is the subscription fee for CFL on DAZN hasn't been set yet. It's not a given that you have to purchase their whole package, containing NFL, Soccer, etc... it's a very real possibility that there will be a cheaper "CFL Only" option. So we shall see... If it was like 5-10 bucks/month for just the CFL, then I might... Just to support the league and see what their product looks like.

Thats being nice

Jenkins looked a lot more explosive than Dixon IMO. Dixon kind of plays like a heavier WJ. He's not firing off he's reading the play. Jenkins is in the backfield 1/4 pass plays before the OT even gets his hands up.

Pretty ironic that a guy who throws a tantrum like a 5 year old if anybody says anything remotely negative about Alberta or makes an age related joke talks about Canadians complaining about everything.

I think he's just expressing frustration (in his annoying way) over fans wanting to see some changes and then constantly complaining about the changes. How long have we said on here the CFL should absolutely be exploring streaming services? They not only get one, but they get one that is going to significantly increase league revenue while only using 1/4 of the games. Even if I was unable to get a free DZN stream, I would still consider this a win for the league. The sky is falling people will just never be happy until TSN pays 600 million a year to broadcast the game while using John Madden to do PBP. I'm not sure what the "use a streaming service" crowd thought would happen when the CFL got on with a company, but it would always cost money to see it.

Luke Wilson is a jerk.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!!
