  2. He works for the BOG's he is following their direction and trying to get the best deal for them. I dont understand why commissioners in pro sports leagues get so much hate while Owners generally get a pass for the actions that they influence. If you guys are mad get mad at Wade Miller or whoever sits on the BOGs as the bombers representatives

  7. Players practice year-round, so I doubts it's an issue to the PA. They're here and they're getting into game shape. Players seemed concerned with padded practices, not practices in general.

  10. Agree with you Jesse... Ambrosie is the messenger and delivers what he is instructed from the powers of the league. Have limited trust in anything coming out of Toronto, especially those connected to Argos & TSN media based there. I would have hoped that both sides could/would have come to some kind of mutual agreement. Neither side has gained anything with me, other than ticking me off. If the league walked away, silly move and negotiating in public is so very wrong. Adam, getting fans to walk the picket line, is also wrong as well... To all who are concerned with this, just get back and hammer this thing out. That's what matters most to everyone....

  14. It is getting weird/ scary. I was fuelling up a slip tank at a cardlock yesterday. A guy about my age that I didn't know pulled in to fuel his pickup and came over to talk which is normal in a small town. Dude : Getting rready to go to the field Me: If it ever dries up Dude: Boy I wonder what that will cost you when you get the bill ? Me : I don't know but it won't be cheap. And this is where the conversation went right off the wall. Dude : Well, I hate to say it ( looking around ) but someone should shoot that Trudeau Me : ( after a few shocked seconds ) You mean because of the carbon tax , because that's got nothing to do with why the fuel price rocketing up. It's just whats going on in the Ukraine and that being used as an excuse to charge more money here. Dude: Well Trudeau is sending them fuel ! ( Edit : He also said they are trying to make us drive electric cars like it was some horrible thing) At that point I gave him a whatever and got busy strapping my tank down. But I find it unnerving that a random stranger would assume it was OK to say that to me about ANY leader. The world is collectively going off its nut.

  15. The BOG completely screwed themselves over with Ambrosie's letter to the players around the PA. Why would any vets, PA members, suit up for preseason now? As Naylor states there, the revenue from those games is all for the owners not the players.

  18. Not every team has a rep in the negotiation process. It's Wade & Hamilton's Scott Mitchell who are handling the league's side of things. https://3downnation.com/2022/05/05/cfl-wants-to-eradicate-canadian-ratio-in-cba-proposal-to-players-association/

    This is a surprising turn of events... the retaking of Crimea and Donbas are on the table. USA support on these objectives must mean that they see Ukraine as likely victors in this war. And wow, this pic:

  27. 12 padded practices is less than one a week and way less than they used to have. Heck, they had 2 a days in pads back in the day. That's a dumb hill to die on IMO. Revenue sharing? What revenue? The CFL is propping up teams with money from the other clubs. Edmonton lost over a million bucks last year. The players have no business in sharing revenue unless they're willing to share the losses to and we all know they aren't about to do that. I agree with 5 years and setting the expiry date at least 30 days before training camps. I'd like to see it set to the last day in March.

  30. Man if the player's think there is a huge amount of uncounted coin in the CFL then we are in trouble...the only 2 teams that from my count that might of made some money is Wpg, Sask and that is not including what they had to share to prop up TO.

    Totally goes with the authoritarian-follower profile that the book describes. Looking to follow a strong leader, able to compartmentalize incompatible views, no critical thinking regarding their own views, angry and willing to accept attributions by those who cast themselves as a strong leader that will stick up for their interests (PP), willing to use violence to have their interests win out.

    Nothing so far-fetched if you accept the concept of "prisons for profit", adding "orphanages for profit" just improves the vertical integration of business, cuts down costs and helps maximize profit. I believe there are people who would gladly re-introduce "slavery for profit", if they could find a way to do it without using the word "slavery".

    Why does Raskin think that the people whom participated in a plot to overthrow his government... will do " their patriotic duty" ? Why would a person like him say something that preposterous? Nancy Pelosi rules of engagement. she is bad for Democracy. I am having trouble Managing the daily inflow of complete world wide insanity.

    Source unknown: I was thinking of the "free exchange of ideas" last night. You know, it's not like a market, it's like a potluck. Everyone brings their own ideas and you sample others and some are familiar with a twist, some are interesting but not to your taste, some are bad, some are lifechanging. You can get into a discussion about recipes or technique, or what have you as people talk about the food. If someone brings mashed potatoes, you can debate the appropriateness for a potluck: is it too bland? Will it get cold on the table? Do potatoes make up too much of our diet? But if someone puts a steaming platter of dog **** on the table, we're not going to debate it. And when we tell them to take it off the table, it's not because we are afraid of eating their dog **** or we think that it's going to revolutionize lunch and we don't want that to happen. We tell them to get it off the table because there is no debate to be had. It's dog ****. It's not an open question, it's not a matter of palettes or picky eaters. That's why we don't engage with neo-nazis and white supremacists, and it's why we don't (or shouldn't) let them come to the potluck
