And 13,063 in 2021 without President Mario Cechinni who was fired by Stern. How are they going to attract fans when their best players leave??? Where's the solid ownership? If that was the case & it was so easy to find "solid ownership" then why hasn't the CFL done that? Who is going to ride in juuuuust in the nick of time like some old Hollywood western where the cavalry comes charging in to save the day? -
This won't be forgotten. Sure, I'll believe the Chinese because we know they never lie.

Every expert says it is. I'll go with what they say.

Americans finally shot down that Chinese spy balloon.

Demski will get Gittens money otherwise he'd have signed weeks ago. He's waiting to see what the market is. -
I've had 5 shots myself with the bivalent in early December. Plus the flu shot. I figured I'd get another one in June. Being 67 & with high BP that I keep current. I've never had Covid (touch wood).

I see those numbers & remember that Lawler got over $300,000 last year. Duke Williams got over $225,000. Drew Desjarlais a FREAKING GUARD got $225,000. I think those numbers Gittens signed for are doable for Demski. He won't be making $185,000 a year. It'll be slightly more like Gittens. -

Colin, just what have you been drinking today?? "Let's not let our hatred of Ambrosie cloud our judgement????" Wow, WTH??? The Alouettes aren't in good shape. They're hemorraging money losing in the millions. They only average 13-16,000 per game with season ticket sales of about 4-5,000. They've been in trouble financially since the last Als dynasty ended after 2009. The league doesn't have the finanacial resources to support the teaam like it did in 2018-19 because of the pandemic, No one is rushing in to buy the team. Read the stories in the media that are starting to pop up. More & more people are beginning to realize the team may fold. And it's the CFL's fault as it all could have been avoided. The decision to bring in a 90 year old owner was both Ambrosie's fault & the BOG's. -

GMs don't care about a list published by sites like 3DN. They know who & who are the top players. -

Read this article today from the Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette who is the beat writer for the Als. Read what he has to say about Ambrosie. It's not very complimentary. He places the blame directly on him just like I do. If someone doesn't step up & buy the team then there won't be a team in Montreal as this time it'll fold. Yeah, Ambrosie does have a say & his advice influences the BOG's. He's the point man for the league. He finds potential owners or the potential owners find him. He makes recommendations to the Governors as to who he thinks would be the best ownership for any team on sale. He's supposed to vet the interested parties. Ambrosie says to them when he's ready to do so that, "This is the one". So yes, this fiasco is on him. Bringing in a 90 year old owner & rejecting Eric Deslauriers group in 2020 with French Canadian backers ready to take over was a huge mistake. Ambrosie rebuffed them twice & now it looks like they don't care anymore. Zurkowsky has reported on the Alouettes for many years & was inducted into the Broadcasters & Reporters section of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2008. He's also the guy who broke the Kavis Reed salary cap kickback story in 2018. His credibility is impeccable. CFL commissioner is silent as Alouettes twist in the wind | Montreal Gazette -
Greg Olsen is pretty good up in the tv booth & keeps improving as Fox's #1 colour analyst this year with the departure of Aikman. Now, he'll be knocked out of the #1 position himself & replaced by Brady next season. I can see Olsen taking off from Fox when his contract's up as he's getting screwed. A well paid screw job nonetheless but something that could cost him $$$ down the road as an analyst. As far as Brady goes, he better be good or fans will mock him mercilessly on social media. Doing tv is an entirely different playing field than the gridiron.

Starting to look more & more like the Andrew Harris situation from last year. Although the Bombers had more concerns about the physical shape of Hatrris than they do about Demski. -
His skills were eroding but he didn't have a great team around him last year. He needs, a very good OL, a productive running back, a possession receiver like Gronk when healthy & a deep threat downfield. Into the Fox broadcast booth. Tom will make sure he never does another Super Bowl again which is too bad.

This is all on Randy Ambrosie. There was a former Als player from Quebec who had the money & a consortium of partners who have tried to buy the team twice & Ambrosie rebuffed him twice. How that ****** Ambrosie stays Commissioner is beyond me. The guy is a joke. He's killing this league with a million paper cuts. -

Looks like the Estate of Sid Spiegel may not want to fund the Als operations anymore. They may lose a bunch of free agents. Ambrosie brought these guys in as owners with the principal owner in his 90's so this is his mess. The team could fold. We have no luck with older free agent receivers. They never work out. So, a guy like Weineke in his 20's? Sure, why not? -

No different than a player who was injured in the second or third game of the season last year & sat out the rest of the year. I think he;ll be fine. -
Fifteen minutes??? That's laughable. No, I'm nothing like Hull. I've never harmed my family with violence. Attacking me for having an opinion just shows you're a fool.
