Don’t care how they do it as long as they win.

Good guy. I'll always remember the Cup run in '91 and what a (literally) big part of the team he was. Charitable too, his work for Purolator Tackle Hunger has helped tens of thousands in need. RIP Schultzie.

so the NDP are communists? they want the state to own everything? boy is that silly.

I will lean to the left, so my bias could show. I have no doubt there is some corruption with the Libs but I would like an itemized list to make a comparison to the former PC or other Liberal governments before declaring them the all-time champs. But I will surmise that when one talks about the disrespect of the public trust, how much is really corruption and how much is a simple expansion of the public distrust of government? Given how much our lives have been flooded with tales (true and false) of government corruption on both sides by the media machine, especially with our downstairs meth lab neighbours in the Obama/Trump/Biden era, it seems John Q(anon) Public is more predisposed to distrust politicians than ever before, so that may skew our perception of just how deep the corruption really is.

LMFAO those have got to be the worst odds i have ever seen. Edmonton whos offense looks like theyre going to put up 50 points a game dead last? Sask ahead of us after loosing like half their D?? Whoever came up with these was hitting the pipe big time.

Here's the highlights of that "game" if one could call it that.

A reminder these are betting odds and not the probability of winning the Grey Cup. Betting odds are impacted and changed based on popularity many times and how they predict money will be placed down for future bets. It's much more prelevent in Boxing/MMA fights with people betting on names they recognize (Connor McGregor) rather then actual who is the better talent. They have Saskatchewan high because it's more likely that Rider fans are willing to throw money down on a bet.

The nature of betting institutions. Just means put some money on the blue n gold.

Per Bauming, Rocquemore is projected more at SAM while Willams as a KR. They've been on the roster pre-pandemic I believe.

I mean the SNC lavalin stuff was corrupt AF, but I think Harper did a lot more and didn't get caught due to his iron grip on his party... the F35 fiasco that ended in a proroguing of parliament.

https://leaderpost.com/sports/football/cfl/saskatchewan-roughriders/rob-vanstone-saskatchewan-roughriders-tied-for-league-lead-in-quarterbacks you mean you haven't heard? "the riders are tied for the league lead in quarterbacks"!!

The best option RIGHT NOW...sure. But if you don't think there's more corruption than previous governments had, then I don't know what to tell you. They just don't have an opposition leader who is able to do anything about it.

I haven't been really plugged into Canadian politics the last little while. Can someone point me to where this current government is corrupt AF?

Not forgetting anything, I just don't feel the need to dredge up political decisions from 30 years ago by a party that no longer exists as it holds pretty much no value to do so. However, since I stated that the Liberals are the most corrupt government of the last 100 years I suppose some comparisons are apt. The current Liberals are by far more corrupt than any government of the past 100 years and it isn't even close. I stand by my original statement. Were there other governments that had corruption....absolutely...I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that didn't. Nothing like this though....this is a new level of disrespect of the public trust.

You must be forgetting Airbus and the bags full of money In the Mulroney years.

Canada and Manitoba are just a plug your nose scenario for government right now. There isn't a single good choice to be had. The Manitoba NDP are just atrocious and no sane person would vote for them, the Cons are being led by a megalomaniac, not even going to mention the Libs as a viable alternative. Federally, the Liberals might be the most corrupt government in the past 100 years with a leader that is just a puppet, the NDP are leaning so far to the left that they might instill communism, and the Cons have no concept of anything East or West of the Alberta border. Just a hold your nose and vote scenario all the way around. As bad as US political choice was in their last election ours is just as bad....maybe worse.

Honestly thought Toronto would be higher, and don't understand why Sask is that high.... but I don't really understand betting/odds either, so.....ya.

Passed away at the age of 61 from a heart attack. Loved his analysis and heart for the game, he'll be missed.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Head Coach Mike O’Shea has issued the following statement regarding this morning’s tragic news of the passing of Chris Schultz: On behalf of our organization, I would like to express the sadness we share with the Toronto Argonauts organization, everyone at TSN and all members of the media, and everyone else around the CFL who knew Chris. On a personal level, I really liked Schultzy and thought he always did a tremendous job, was well prepared and most importantly, cared deeply about the CFL. Whether he was an opponent, seeing him around stadiums across Canada, or having the opportunity to spend time with him away from the game, these are all memories I will forever cherish. The CFL is filled with countless men and women who make it spectacular, and we lost one of them yesterday.

These people are teaching a whole new generation of stupid.

SO... this is a thing. Dafuq is wrong with these parents?

There was some (very subtle) hinting at Dr. Strange in the 2nd credit scene.

that's because they think they're the centre of the universe....that's why I love it when we kick their arse...GO JETS ...show me that the Mont. game was just an anomaly

They traveled to one city 😆

I'm not a Maurice fan, but it's impossible to argue with the results. .646 win %, 7th in the league, 2nd in the division. Performances like that do not get coaches fired.

Spring 2021:

It's one game... This is still a very good team. Flush it and beat the Leafs.

Found this on TSN website... this has to be nearly 20 years ago. The Good, The Bad and The Duthie - Featuring Chris Schultz - Video - TSN

I have looked into various web sources (Forbes, statista.com, packers.com, Blue Bomber financial statement) and here are some numbers to chew on for those who want to compare the NFL and CFL’s financial situations: In the NFL, the only public team is Green Bay, so all other financial projections are speculation unless the team reports it. The Bombers likewise out out a financial statement. So the numbers I found for the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers and the Bombers are as follows - Expenses in 2019: $32.8 million (Bombers), $439 million (Packers), $425 million (Cowboys) 2019 revenues: $36.3 million (Bombers), $508 million (Packers), $960 million (Cowboys) Of note, the Bombers biggest single revenue increase was $2.2 million more in game day merchandise and concessions, the Packers was $70 million more in league TV revenue Salary cap: $5.4 million in CFL (16.5% of Bombers’ total expenses) $198.2 million in NFL (45.1% of Packers’ and 46.6% of Cowboys’ total expenses) 2019 revenue from ticket sales alone: $11.5 million (Bombers - 31.7% of total revenue), $77 million (Packers - 15.2% of total revenue, $98 million (Cowboys - 10.2% of total revenue) TV contract: $50 million league-wide in the CFL ( and a portion of that goes to the league itself and not each club, so the TV revenue is not $50 million split 9 ways and it does NOT cover the players salaries in entirety - the Bombers received $3.9 million in league payments in 2019, or 72.2% of the salary cap and 10.7% of their total revenue, it covers 11.8% of their operating costs), $255 million PER TEAM NFL (Packers and Cowboys 128.7% of the salary cap, Packers 50.2% of total revenue and covers 58.1% of their operating costs, Cowboys 26.6% of total revenue and 60% of their operating costs) Bombers also generated another 24% of their revenue from game day related money such as concessions sales and merchandise, so 56% of their revenue stream is gone without fans. The Packers estimated that of their $508 million profit, $211 million or 41.5% was internally generated from ticket sales and game day and merchandise sales, and local sponsorships, the rest was league money. The Cowboys projected that without fans it could cost them up to $500 million this past season. The Cowboys other big revenue gain comes from sponsorship dollars, which is why they are the most popular brand and most valuable franchise in the NFL. So the simple takeaway from this date is: no fans for the Bombers (arguably the healthiest franchise in the CFL - Sask and Edm are the only other 2 whose books are public and they both lost money in 2019 - the Riders basically because they had expenses for marketing a Grey Cup they never hosted, but were close to break even otherwise) means they lose about $19.7 million on game day revenue alone and go from a $3.4 million profit to a $16.3 million loss, likely more, the Cowboys lose $500 million from ALL sources yet still turn a profit of $35 million, and the Packers without fans wipe out any profit on ticket sales alone and likely more with no game day associated revenue, but again their ticket revenue is only 15% of their revenue stream vs 32% for the Bombers. So let’s stop pretending that we can compare the CFL and NFL equitably based on not having fans in the stands and TV revenues and assume that because other leagues can do it, we should “just find a way”. Unless fans want to agree that if the league plays with zero fans and we fans will cover any losses next year by paying NFL-style ticket prices for every game (and I think we all saw from the Packers-Raiders pre-season game in Winnipeg, not to mention the last few Grey Cups we’ve hosted, how little appetite there is to pay that much from the fans’s point of view), it seems clear that this is more a gate driven league than other sports and no fans means no football And the Government has no appetite to bail out a sports league because there is no political gain in it for them, and it is more public than a media company bailout supposedly to save thousands of jobs (even if said company *cough* BELL *cough* uses said buyout to pay their stockholders and fires their staff anyway), plus looks better in saving the national economy. Just my two cents

61 is far too young. Man this sucks.

Can always blame Trudeau if it does not. Gotta have that backup blame plan.

Work first, play later. Good plan. One that I will not follow.

The salary cap is $198.2 million in 2020 and each team gets $255 Million from TV revenue. $56 Million buys you a lot of testing before you make anything else on licensing and whatnot.
