Less Rod Black is all good for me. I really can't stand him on pbp.

I think Miller is the better of the 2. Rod Black should be host of CFL TV coverage in the studio only. I think he'd excel there with the panel whereas he is failing epically as pbp on CFL football.

You'd think CTV would want to televise every Chiefs game.

Paul Ryan saw what was going on & how he had to compromise his principles to support Trump & he got out ending a promising political career. At least he got out with his reputation relatively intact. But McConnell & Graham totally bent over for Trump & it was disgusting. The other GOP Senators just fell into line because of it. In 2 years time, hopefully Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio suffer the same fate.

At his age, Belichek wouldn't be the guy to lead that team back. Newton at his best is an average qb. Most of the time he struggles to get just to that level.

McConnell & Graham gone would be fine with me.

Brady would have made them respectable. But they let him go. Belichek not as smart as he thought. If they go something like 4-13, will he retire & Josh McDaniels take over? The Chiefs game wasn't televised in the Calgary area. I wanted to watch but nope. CTV will play the same game on 4 different channels across the country.

Talking about a ST: TNG reboot... https://redshirtsalwaysdie.com/2020/07/17/star-trek-next-generation-reboot-next/

I don't know how they can get an exemption when everyone else has to isolate. And businesses are under orders to lower capacity. I don't think any pro league in Canada will get that.

Government regulations on crowd size.

Rest In Peace Sean Connery. You were The Best.

I just can't see how they can make this work under any scenario where they play with no fans in thye stands. Every team will lose tens of millions of dollars with no fans in attendance. I think the CFL should be glad the Liberals said no to any huge loan this season. At least they don't have a huge financial albatross hanging over them now waiting to pick the bones of a dead football league. Or wondering how they play a second or perhaps even a third season in a bubble & having to ask for more money. It was a blessing Trudeau said no.

Stupid ******* baseball players.

Agree.

I don't like Trump either but people are free to choose who they like.

Oops. Lol. The play is so good you can watch it twice.

THIS... still warms my heart 55 years after it happened. The 109 yard pass & run QB Ken Ploen to Flanker Ken Nielsen TD that sealed the deal for the Bombers in Game 3 of the Best of 3 1965 Western Final series. The play that sent the Bombers to the Grey Cup!!! I have never seen the play before. We were watching the game at my Aunt's house & my parents left before the game was over. I was just 10 years of age & I remember so well hearing the TD on CKY AM radio with an elated Jack Wells excitedly describing what had just happened. Etched in my memory forever like a stone tablet.

A few months ago there were some here who thought places like Alberta were cesspools of Covid 19. Now with 1/4 of the population, you're showing numbers similar to ours. Which shows how complacent most of you were. I sincerely wish you guys the best of luck as you don't have the hospital capacity we do in Alberta & we're concerned here with our numbers. Politics, ideology & politicians are driving this pandemic with their refusal to shut things down.

The end of this damned election can't come soon enough.

If I was running the league, the first thing I'd do is reduce the salary cap to something like $1.5 to $ 2million temporarily so that the tv contract pays all salaries. When I say temporarily that means once fans can return to the stands then player & administrative salaries can rise. The players wouldn't have much of a choice to agree or not. they don't sign then they don't play. I'd reduce the roster to 32 players with 2 practice or taxi squad members. I'd have a 2 week training camp limited to 45 players followed by a limited season. No exhibition games. Have inter squad games instead. How many games during the regular season? I couldn't say. Only enough for revenues to cover the cost of the season. I'd have a head coach & 2 assistants. I'd cut out the big 6 figure salaries some of these GMs & Presidents make to a more realistic number. One scout covering US & Canada as well as access to a list of free agent players in the event of injuries. I'd cut, cut, cut to the bare bones. As far as costs go, both divisions would only play each other in the Grey Cup. It would be all inter divisional play during the regular season. In order for this league to survive, forget about just playing. It's survival first which is why these Draconian measures need to be done. So, rather than a bubble in a city where everyone plays which may be the best option, it is prohibitively expensive, Therefore, I think you could have teams play out of their home stadiums as long as they're empty & a team bubble is put in place in each CFL city like we see in the NFL & MLB. They had some infections but so far (in a country being ravaged by Covid 19) they seem to be doing okay. MLB crowned a World Series champion 2 nights ago. The CFL should research what those 2 leagues did & how they worked it. A lot of coaches, GMs, Presidents & players may decide to do something else because of the reduced salaries & leave. But the harsh reality is there isn't a choice. Besides, sometimes when one door closes another one opens. New people mean new ideas. Others will take their place. Anyway, right or wrong that is how I see it.

Sad to hear. Yeah, he loved the CFL for sure. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Lions now.

When my son played Juco in california & then later at SFU, he used to lead the qbs in 3, 5 & 7 step drop drills as well as doing a lot of footwork drills when the team went to Special Teams part of practice. He didn't want to lose the skill he had dropping back from center he had learned inn high school because college was total gun snap out of the Spread when passing. So, he'd teach the other qbs the drills he used so they could all work each other out when there was downtime for them at practice.

That's a beautiful ball park. It would be a shame if that happens.

These guys seem more pro ready to step into their NFL careers then qbs a generation or 2 ago. Despite the fact they play 4 years in the gun formation running the spread offense. But the NFL has changed as well making it easier for these highly drafted kids to succeed. More plays out of the Gun & Pistol & the Spread.
