He acknowledged that some of the changes had been brought up with the rules committee in the past but yeah not a whole lot of consultation was done (if any). I'd like to be a fly on the wall for the next meeting between MOS & Wade since they seem to be very opposed on this issue.

You're a funny guy.

Definitely need Zach back.. and good timing for Sterns.. now let's ******* protect the QB and give him time to cook.

Don’t be ridiculous….. 17 DBs and 13 LBs.

Looks like this is the roster for tonight….. Forwards (13): Gustav Nyquist, Jonathan Toews, Mason Shaw, Parker Ford, Brayden Yager, Colby Barlow, Fabian Wagner, Jacob Julien, Tanner Pearson, Walker Duehr, Nikita Chibrikov, Cole Perfetti and Brad Lambert. Defence (8): Luke Schenn, Colin Miller, Ville Heinola, Dylan Samberg, Kale Clague, Elias Salomonsson, Ashton Sautner and Dylan Anhorn. Goalies (2): Eric Comrie and Domenic DiVincentiis

The vast majority of the calls were people screaming blue murder and Osh told them they should let the team and the league know exactly how they feel. Yes, he is on the rules committee... Which were not consulted at all.... And that's a huge part of why he's pissed, I'd bet.

Dude, A.C. Slater was the QB.

MOS hates these changes? MOS is in my good books again. Mike, if you want to roster 30 DBs, go for it.

Bet he could have gone better than 3 of 8 for 54 yards as QB of Bayside.

Yeah with the special teams aspect the only way to change it would be to do something to force teams to not kick. Like if you only get so many punts per half or something....which would also be stupid. Coaches are going to be conservative and play the long game. Kickers and punters are also crazy accurate these days so would you rather go for it 3rd and 5 from the 40 or pin the other team inside their 5 and take the chance they go 2 and out or turn it over? Any benefit they get from no posts (consider the posts act both ways in terms of offense being able to use them for a pick) is negated by losing the yards in the endzone that D has to defend. Think of how many TD's are scored in the back corner of the endzone. There's no way for them to definitively say these rule changes create scoring.

Yeah I think it’s funny how it’s just taken as a matter of fact scoring will increase significantly, I see it the other way where instead of long field goals you’ll see a lot more corner coffin punts. Do you really think all these teams will be going for it around the 40-45 yard line? I doubt it.

Think its down to 50 after the latest rule changes 😉

Contrary to bovine excrement we are being fed, the narrower and shorter field and the smaller endzones will mean less scoring and the other changes will both dumb the game down and strip away the unpredictability which means less excitement. A pox on all their houses.

Someone on reddit dug up the numbers when the NFL moved the goalposts back and apparently it resulted in more punting, more missed field goals, and no increase in TDs.

Not surprised. Dude still can't comprehend the designated nationalized American rule, and is reviewing Streveler game film from 2019.

Yeah ,made a point of listening yesterday ,first time ever. He isnt too pleased about it. Isnt he on the rules committee?

bob tweeted paraphrasing from mos, I guess coaches show was last night? And apparently mos hates all the rule changes.

I'd like to see their indirect fan engagement on it too.

I bet it was written in crayon on construction paper.

The league estimates that the changes will result in 60 more touchdowns a year. I would like to see their math on that.

I think it was talking North America cuz everyone outside North America plays soccer. Hell Mexico loves soccer and like you said it’s growing rapid here and in the US. It’s funny. I got neighbours and they got kids. They don’t play football but they go to games. They play soccer and baseball. I see lots of kids in the ghetto here with bombers hats or shirts on. But Winnipeg is the flag ship. Not sure I see that in the big smoke or la belle provence or on the left coast.

Finally some news on this https://tvline.com/news/baywatch-reboot-fox-cast-characters-plot-details-1235516699/

Nobody disagrees with the league that the attendance numbers in the larger markets are unsustainable and something needs to change. I think very few of us think these changes will make a dent in that.

It was a very quick Google search (and it is the Internet so you might take these numbers with a grain of salt) but the World Cup (final and overall) appears to beat the Super Bowl. https://the18.com/en/soccer-news/world-cup-vs-super-bowl-by-numbers-viewers-revenue-tv-ratings There is no doubt in my mind that soccer (football to those purist snobs) is more popular world wide and it's gaining traction in Canada. And, it's not just kids of immigrants who are taking up the sport. So, can these kids and their parents be attracted to the CFL? I don't think that what the league office offered up yesterday will do the trick.
