This is totally laughable. Farhan is almost suggesting that the CFL should pay Rourke's salary since he would help drive up ticket sales across the league.
He talks about Rourke selling tickets to Stamps games in 2022. Well, the Lions' 2 games in Calgary averaged 22300 fans. The Bomber game for comparison had over 25k.
Farhan is going into the HOF. What a joke. An embarrassment to the legacy of true media.

I thought they had a Vezina winner in Edmonton?

So sounds like Ford and McGee at the corner spots for now. Curious to see how both do. Ford looked good in that one game he started and McGee has a good college resume and did have a year on our pr to learn.
Curious to how fast Ford can get up to speed. A year of PR is not the same as playing each week.
Although, he was out of camp early. So, even further back?

Don't wear a helmet because it won't protect you from hits below the shoulders. Don't wear shoulder pads because it won't protect your knees.

does nothing for a instance where a guy gets drilled in the chest and stops dead in his tracks....with no head contact...how does a helmet wrap desingned to take impact and dissapate it over a large area do anything to help the brain not continue with inertia...which it will and slam into the skull?...Its literally impossible....and the bruising and lesions to the brain from impact on the skull is what causes serios damage////but whatever....u can think u are right
you get it...obviously Professor Jcon doesnt
So, you can't put on the guardian helmet because not all hits are to the head? Top level, Dr Booch.

I think if you re-read what he posted you'll see that it does make sense. The cap helps, but it does nothing for sudden stops/impacts which make the head (and therefore brain) whip back and forth.
No, that's exactly what it addresses. When that sudden impact happens, the guardian cap absorbs the impact and slows the impact down.
I was briefed on this with the Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage. I sat there while experts in the field explained all these mitigating factors. I'm not arguing with someone who's worried about how it "looks".

roll your eyes all you want....those are facts
Saying the guardian cap does nothing is not a fact. That's an opinion not based in fact.
I get that people don't like the looks of it, but that's a pretty immature reason not use it.

There have been a few that have pointed out Biggie's decreasing impact and high salary for a couple of years. It wasn't bad when he took a discount.
I just want to see competition at TC. If Biggie wins the job, then good on him. I just think it's time for succession planning.

It was Kramdl's turn yesterday, today Bighill. You'd think our defense was the worst in the league ly, oh wait no one gave up less points than us
Hard to do if your lbs arent performing
Eventually, everyone falls off. Is Bighill a top 5 (or 10) LBer in this league?

Football players would have to inject foam directly into their brain cavity so it doesn't slosh about on contact, adding more protection directly to the outside is putting more lipstick on a pig and does little to increase protection. Airbags work because they dissipate the energy of a collision over a larger area and reduce the acceleration of the body, the second factor being the most important.
That's exactly what the guardian helmet does. Literally what it is designed for.

Walters doesn't have 2 nickels left to bring in FA's from the cold, what you see is what you're going to get.
Agree Bighill played reasonably well last season and stayed healthy up until the last game, some people are exaggerating his liability. If Kyrie can take on the leadership role, he's the logical successor.
If Biggie is injured for at least 6 games he does.

thing is....its not just head shots that can cause a concussion...it's the abrupt stopping of a body...so a guardian cap does nothing for that....a sudden jarring of the body with zero head contact probably causes as many if not more concussions
I've had 6 confirmed concussions....1 was a head shot....
Yup. Everything helps.

wear your mouthguard...thatalone will mitigate many concussions
It will certainly help. It won't prevent them as much as the guardian cap would.

Harder to see the QB if you're rushing and an olineman is wearing it. Harder to break up passes and anticipate movement if you can't see the QB.

You dont get it....due to ratio to fill out the roster....many many inferior Canadians get role jobs as oppsoed to Americans...so if say an LB has a opp to compete for a job....but doesn't get it say due to another American they go with...he has no hope to make the roster on teams and try and earn a spot in practice.... the ST lb's filling out the roster will be inferior Canadians...who aren't good enough to be a Canadian starter...so guys won't come due to that...a lot of times as well they may be better than a projected Canadian Starter....but again.....won't get the job because there just isnt enough starter quality Canadians on some rosters to change your ratio...Guys careers are short as it is, and for a U.S guy to come up here, already behind the 8-ball due to ratio and risk catastrophic injury with really next to no chance to make it...they decline the offer....doubt me if you wish....but these are facts...and has happened a ton
No such thing as an inferior Canadian.

true....and on the flipside we lose out on a ton of really good talent too for those same reasons....Players agents will fill them in on thE situation, and what they up against, also players talk and have conveyed to buddies that they got cut as an inferior player was used (ratio reason) , and to not waste their time, or risk injury....
I wouldn't say we missed out. We got great Canadians in their place to play in the Canadian Football League.

The low bar is Spider-Pig and She-Hulk Attorney At Law
Totally disagree. She-Hulk was great for what it was. If you create a giant universe, like Marvel did, with that many different characters/storylines, you need variety on how you deliver the content. She-Hulk was different but still moved the franchise forward.
Plus, this is a Sony production, correct?

Yeah I recently got forced into using my first iPhone at work and it has re-confirmed that I will never willingly chose to use one.
Same. Miserable experience. It's like a toy for a two-year-old. You can't do anything with it. It mostly collects dust on my desk.

Mid-season form. Impressive.
