Since Demski is a game time decision, I would like to switch my pick to Cooley.

Let's go with Demski this week

Dalton Schoen

Just take off Ayers. I know he's a beast on ST but why weaken your wr group and leave it with no depth?
I'm confused, if Brady is out, he needs to be replaced, so why does anyone else need to be taken off the roster?

It’s for following the cfl for 40 years as a local reporter. So yes. Paul got paid to go to practices and not pay attention. If not,work ethic and always posting complete facts and never made up lunacy deserves a spot. Oh wait, same guy the Jets captain told to **** off. Yeah. Umm apparently anyone can be in the hall.
It's because he "asks the tough questions" or some BS like that. Most of his questions are assinine as far as I'm concerned, but that's just me...

Does Sheehan kick fgs cuz having an American kicker actually appears to perhaps be an issue. Without Sergio you could dress person or whoever.
He said in his interview with Ed Tait last week that he spent some time in the offseason with a field goal kicking coach to get better at it so that he can be an effective backup FG kicker, but he said he doesn't have the range that Sergio does.

I'm debating between Wheatfall and Clercius... let's go Wheatfall for this week.

That doesn't quite make sense considering the Leafs won the cup in 1967

Sounds like at least one of the announcers is cheering for Dallas... After the hit that put Lowry into the bench, he said "hopefully that's a spark for the Dallas bench" or something to that effect. You'd think the Canadian broadcaster would lean more towards a Canadian team.

True, game day shows need to set a tone and entertain. If any thing have the schtick on that rather than the game day panel.
can’t stand Kate.I always found that Laura Diakun did a good job hosting the panel whenever she needed to fill in for Kate. I think she would be a good replacement as long as she keeps doing what she's been doing and not try to change to match what Kate has been doing.

I'm more fascinated by the person who thought it was a good idea to make a visitors bench to small where their back-up goaltender can't sit with them so he basically sits with the home team crowd plus have the visitors team locker-room where the visitors have to cross the ice to get there. Brilliant.
I'm pretty sure they aren't the only arena with that setup, especially the visitor's locker room on the other side of the ice.

Who's a big Canadian Pop act right now? I legitimately have no idea... I know SOME of the new Canadian country acts (which do have a big following as that genre is popular right now) but I haven't known any Canadian Pop acts since Carly Rae Jepsen...
Tate McRae is the only one I am aware of.

We'll see.
2013 is a prime example of how Winnipeg fans are... we had a 3-15 team (and the games were bad, usually done half way through the 3rd quarter) and averaged the 3rd highest attendance in the league at just over 30,000.

I'm going through the other teams schedules and so far I've found we have by far the worst schedule in the West. Aside from the byes being the shits, we are the only western team that has 2 short weeks (5 days between games in June & August). FTR, Technically Calgary does too but their 1st short week is their 2nd pre-season game where most players are only playing a handful of snaps - they have one 5 day week in regular season. The Riders have no 5 day short weeks at all and easily have the most balanced schedule I've seen.
Going to look at the East schedules later on and see what those look like.
Maybe the league is trying to help get a different team in to represent the West in the Grey Cup?

Yes the $$$ for Thomas is important. Hopefully he took a cut.
Schedule is strange for sure. Say hello to Thursday and Saturdays, lots of bomber games on these days. The 2 pre season vs Sask is weird.
The 2 pre-season games against the same team makes absolutely no sense to me.

You think they're winning in 2019 and 2021 with Kevin Glenn? Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible.
I think that if Kevin Glenn hadn't broken his arm back in the 2007 East Final, the drought would have ended 10 years earlier than it did.

Pretty sure it was where the GW Life building is located.
That is correct. The Wikipedia page for Osborne Stadium Winnipeg has a map showing the location as right where the Canada Life building is now at 60 Osborne St. N.

answering my own question. Practice roster players make $750/week (before taxes) + housing allowance. Housing allowance does not count against the salary cap. As an annual wage that's $39K before taxes.
Canada computes the poverty line differently for different regions because cost of living differs between downtown Vancouver and rural Quebec. It varies between $32K and $40K annually as of 2020.
So right away you've got 13 guys per team making wages that are right around the Canadian poverty line (without counting housing allowances, which I've got no insight into.)
Keeping in mind that it's for 6 months of work.

Should have put a caveat on that last post to only change my pick if Nic was out... Ah well, still time for Cooley to get one.
