I don't think some folks on here realize just how many people work on a game day production.   It isn't just 5 camera guys and two guys in a booth.   

Honestly I get the decision not to televise all CFL preseason games. It's just freaks like us that care to watch it. 

Thank you for this scoop 

not a scoop ... a lament ... sheesh

Argos sign Janarion Grant. 

I for one would love to have that problem at PAF... PAT? PAIGF? OFFS... I don't even recall....

Who wins is a crapshoot. There wasn’t a single human in the world last year who picked Montreal to win the Grey Cup before the season started.
I for one am grateful that Dickenson is gone, and that will hold me over for a while.

Coaching as well. Why was Hall in blitz mode on the goal line on the last play of the game?? 
At Sam???

My week preseason week 1 observations:
The Riders 1st string is better than our 2nd string.
The Stamps 1st string is way better than BC's 2nd string. 
Edmonton can still greatly outplay their opponents only to give the game away via turn overs.
Hammy can still outplay their opponents only to give the game away via penalties. 
All radio guys are homers & the Riders have the worst radio play by play by far. 
Berrière can play like a derrière and get cut even though we waited 4 years for him.
Montreal's 3rd string QB, Alexander, looked more ready to start than Arbuckle or Brown. 
Toronto has a QB problem.
Not blitzing in preseason is a thing of the past. 
The punt halo is still somewhere between 3 & 7 yards. 
Offensive offside is still between 1 and 3 yards. 
 
 

I don’t know the medical science behind why this may or may not have some injury risk issues tied to it, but if it doesn’t, it seems like a really good idea

Somebody on the Riders forum suggested extending exhibition games to 5 or 6 Q's, I think this would be a reasonable way to give new players extra playing time without adding travel costs or much extra expense.  Add another intermission after 60 minutes and play again for an extra 30 minutes.  No single player needs to play more than 30 mins. so it should be manageable from a personnel perspective.  As for the fans in attendance as long as they realize it's a casual affair they can come and go as they wish.

No, no- I recall the Bombers moving from JT and then bringing him back at the beginning of a season...

No kidding, it's not like they are in the same division of the Grey Cup champs are anything. 
 

Speaking of which, got my ticket for the home opener, so psyched to see the Bombers take out their rage for losing last year out on CoFaj and pound the Als into the ground....

Finally got through the first act and found the rest way more engaging. I can see why people like it but it certainly won't be one I revisit.
