People are referencing advertising deals. Don’t think many sane people would place bets on leagues taking “gambling revenue.”

How does the CFL get gambling revenue?

And go.... I know you'll have a mountain of names to bring up

Diggin' Man On Fire.

I’d rather listen to the stadium pa announcers than him, or suitor. Honestly not many color or pbp guys at tsn for cfl are worth listening to.

Man, we could have a great discussion about this.

I like it. But it's obvious he works less than any other TSN on air analyst or pbp. One game a week. Wilson should also be in the studio on the panel when he's not in the booth on Fridays

100%. the rest of the conversation is filled with guys who had a fraction of his longevity too.

she'll be lucky if she gets Hallmark Holiday Hash

I think Ryan can recover his image... she is probably going to be regulated to smaller films and roles. Both of them came off as horrible from this ordeal.

Hopefully he doesn't come off as a smug pr**k when interacting with the PBP guys.

I can't stand the way he interacts with people online. It's insanely disrespectful. But I'm willing to give him a chance to with colour commentary. Though, it's a shame they couldn't/wouldn't find a former CFLer for that role.

I'm not sure if this is better or worse....

Doug Brown isn't just the best DT of his generation, he's arguably the best DT of all time, any nationality.

Pretty much. Back in the day, great DTs never got the appreciation they deserved. Doug brown never got a sniff at MODP, little on mop. But is one of the very best players in that generation. He should've been in on it at least 4-5 times. The thing is, QB play is pretty fixed these days. Top tier qbs don't move often, and are found even less frequently up here. The 3rd-4th best QB in the league isn't much better than the 10-12th best guys. Meanwhile, the Lines are much more plentiful for upgrades. And those top linemen have a much bigger impact on winning then optmizing with in the mediocre tier of QBs. Teams and fans value the inside disruptor far more than ever before, but they are still not as high as pass-rushing bookends. A great edge player who has a great game might get pressure on half his snaps. A great DT in a solid game might get pressure on 15% of his snaps, but converts far more of those into more punishment and more sacks, and also could easily disrupt the pocket on 2/3s of his snaps. We saw this with Kola getting roadrunner'd by Ceresna, entire games where Zach had no snaps where he could step up into the pocket. No joke. At DL and QB, we just can't afford injuries this year. Not just Jake, willy or lawson too. Lawson goes down schmek is playing an old jake number of reps. willy goes down mid season and we have a handfull of combined games of experience among all the rest of the ends.

The upgrade from Jake to Jake is almost unbelievable.... ....thoughts and prayers for health across our roster, but for Ceresna in particular. He's had some recent injury trouble but hopefully will be free and clear all year.

For sure. That's what I liked about Jaworski, he was more of a traditional DE not undersized. The pocket will be collapsing for sure. If we can get a guy that can get the LT backpedaling QBs will have to deal with either getting sacked by Willie J or throwing right into his wingspan. JC is a dominant guy and will make a ton of difference. He was my number one choice for the Bombers to target in FA and I'm glad they felt the same.

All of a sudden, not so bad in the 'peg

The old football fan rule is that the most popular guy on the team is the backup quarterback, but it seems like on MBB the most popular guy is the monster DT or NT.

lol the first one in the early 90's. Mike said they were bouncing checks on the coaching staff (amongst other things) so he called up one of his contacts down south and eventually started scouting for the Chiefs.

......yeah ...the bet must have included standing under a pigeons nest and not moving until the bird did his predictable droppings thing...

Hes a brilliant pick up for us. Especially next to lawson. We need another guy inside to rotate, but the interior is gonna be beastly. That will for sure make it much easier for the edge guys to excel.

But what do you mean by "turn a profit"? Are you only referring to what the team makes through ticket sales, food, merch? Or are you including TV deal, gambling and league advertising revenue? No, the new moves will not improve attendance. But they will inject new moey into the league which is distributed to teams regardless of high or low attendance.
