it will likely air on peacock if it does get renewed which by the way is not available in Canada so it could air on CTV Drama or W

I just hope NBC renews Law & Order; Organized Crime. NCIS Hawaii? Go woke & go broke. I can do without the lesbian love affair on a police procedural.

When Big Blue started talking about giving players expansion money, I just shook my head. There is NO expansion money!! Maybe putting a team in Halifax might give the CFL a slightly bigger tv deal but I wouldn't be surprised if a 10th team made no difference. There's a chance that the next deal with TSN may not be worth as much.

so it looks like all the CBS bubble shows have been covered, the next few weeks will cover just about everything else https://tvline.com/news/ncis-hawaii-cancelled-no-season-4-1235200667/

Let’s be real too, they don’t have owners a stadium or a market for expansion. If any thing if the league tries to shoe horn a team on the coast it’ll cost the league and every team. What was it, 3 teams over the cap this last year? Average of 100k with a dollar for dollar penalty? 200k right there. Teams just stopped handing the top fa wr 300k but started giving bananas money to ni ol. They could spend it ni doubt. Some teams didn’t spend the cap and some lost money either way. 250k isn’t making a big change. They could just use that money to bump up pr money and or spots. No team would be against that

Sorry, couldn't resist.

"Where would you expand? Halifax? ... Quebec City or London, Ontario? Remains to be seen. poersonally, I doubt it." I agree Halifax is a dead-end pursuit and a logistical nightmare in terms of travel. Very expensive too. London would be cutting into the fan base, MAYBE, for the Tigercats and Argos. Of course, you never know what that community might be hungry for. I see no appeal. So no. Québec city intrigues me though. It would instantly set up a rivalry with the Alouettes. The fan base there has proven themselves; there is a natural complement between football and hockey – – they have opposite seasons with very little overlap. I also think it would add some legitimacy to the league, filling in a void where the major French population looks a little underserved, at least to me. I also heard Ambroise speak of Québec City in positive terms in terms of marketing the CFL. So it looks like the CFL brass are thinking about it seriously. I hope it happens – – it would make everything better in terms of scheduling, league balance, and keeping travel costs down. Expanding to Québec city makes a lot of sense to me.

What happens after your country runs on 99 percent renewable electricity?

Ahhh one change and it's Schmidt in...what a shocker. The Avs will be shaking now...

If he dies, he dies. I think they clearly tried to bring in some nose tackles since stove left. Just doesn't seem like they have found what they wanted in one. They were really hard stuck on walker last year too. I can imagine being a nose in the cfl isn't easy. Unlike the NFL you will have to run and move a lot more and can be stuck on the field for a lot longer. Might be that they haven't felt comfortable with the ability of the bigs abilities to stay on the field and remain effective.

In the past it seemed like OL blossomed late, and played till the wheels fell off. Now, especially with Canadians, they seem to start and leave much earlier than before. With the change of body/athletic types along the OL we've seen guys prioritize walking away with a great degree of health and quality of living than ever before. I feel like out side of that we see solid to fringe players walk away despite having roles they could fill for a long time a good bit as well. Some times because they seemingly realize they can't be more or because they realize the amount of grind that is required to attain little on maintain a high level of play is much more than they expected.

Not merchandise per se but I just bought 2 tickets for my wife & I to this year's Banjo Bowl this morning. Rarin' to go!!

Fans have been saying that since 2022 but the braintrust says nope.

Looks like Provincial Hwy 396 in the middle of a cold, snowy January night from Ponton to Thompson. Travelled that road many, many times.

Not to mention that if there is a 10th team, there are only so many talented Canadians to go around. The talent pool will already be diluted by that, and then to try and add more positions for rookie Canadians, they'd really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and fill those spots.

Surprised Bandy retired. He only got the stating center gig when the greatest football player in the world retired after the 2022 season.

Sometimes you just overthink. Like here with this. For example, why would teams dress extra Canadians just for home games? They'd never play so why even pay them??? We dress 45 players now so dressing more makes no sense. Expansion money? For what new team, exactly? Where would you expand? Halifax? C'mon, if that city wanted a team there'd have beeen a team there with a proper stadium yeras ago. Quebec City or London, Ontario? Remains to be seen. poersonally, I doubt it. And how much will an expansion team fetch? Five to ten million? What's that divided over 9 teams? That's $555,000 to $1.1 million per team. Hey, nice little one time windfall but it'll just be swallowed up in losses by 8 of the 9 teams now. If we're expanding to create extra money then that's laughable as it'll make little difference financially in the long run. You seem to have this penchant for trying to start these super serious discussions. Like we'll suddenly solve the league's problems at once. The CFL is what it is. Just enjoy it.

So he'll never get into the CFHOF. Lemon will be 65 & crying to get in & it won't help as no one will care. His choice to be stupid & ruin his chances.

I still don't see where the teams are going to get and extra $250,000 to put towards the salary cap. The fact that its gone up by $50,000 for many years and then $75,000 last year doesn't show any indication that all of a sudden there will be more than $250,000 available per year. Add in the fact that the minimum salaries have been going up chews into what you say "goes to the top end of the player pool". I just don't think the numbers that you think are available exist, nor will they in the foreseeable future. For reference, minimum salaries: 2016 - $52K 2017 - $53K 2018 - $54K 2019 - $65K 2020 - $65K (cancelled season) 2021 - $65K (shortened season) 2022 - $65K 2023 - $70K I don't think the narrative that all of the additional cap space goes to top end players is valid (and no, you're not the only person who's said it does). A big chunk of it goes to minimum salary players and what's left is distributed through the team, but at the end of the day it's still only $75K, which is the equivalent of 1 entry level player.

never used it oh Brilliant one

So Canadians projected to go highly in the current NFL draft include: Penn State tight end Theo Johnson, a native of Windsor, Ont., could be the first Canadian selected in the 2024 NFL draft. Isaiah Adams, offensive line, Illinois ... likely to end up as a guard in the pros due to his strength and compact build. Tanner McLachlan, tight end, Arizona ... not the best blocker, but his receiving talent alone could get his name called early Anim Dankwah, offensive tackle, Howard... measuring 6-foot-8 and 353 pounds... much assembly will be required with his footwork and lateral efficiency at the pro level Massive University of British Columbia offensive lineman Giovanni Manu could also be a late-round pick https://www.cbc.ca/sports/the-buzzer-newsletter-2024-nfl-draft-preview-canadians-1.7185282
