How do other leagues do it? The WHL, The Canadian Soccer League. Little dinky leagues where they don't have any money either. They better figure it out.

Sure Toronto is middle of the pack. **** them.

I sure miss The Unknown Poster on this thread....

Austin couldn't do his podcast if he went over to AEW. I find Austin to be a pretty good interviewer. His interviews flow pretty well & of course he knows the people he brings on. He'd never have been able to interview Undertaker if he left WWE so he has a good gig going. I'd like to see him behind the mic more. I think Vince pays him pretty well to do his podcasts & show up occasionally at Raw. I've watched a little of AEW. Not a lot of big men on the roster. Jungle Boy is one of their stars. They have a long way to get to WWE's level of talent. Maybe someday.

Well he did have a practice squad for the practice squad of the practice squad while in Regina.

Trudeau tried to buy his way in...

Yeah, the Liberals did. Wanting a seat on the Security Council so they could influence world policy or situations. Trudeau wanted it baaaaad. Instead we were told to piss off.

That is exactly the point. We thought we could influence world powers & leaders with our brand of diplomacy. We're finding out just how weak we really are & have been put in our place.

I don't think Austin can wrestle anymore as his neck is still messed up.

What is it with WWE booking? Braun Stroman comes back after an absence & demands a challenge for the World Title. So, they book him with Bobby Lashley & he loses. Makes Stroman look weak. Talk about the air going out of the baloon. This is a huge catch in more ways than one. I wonder what Vince thinks??? I thought Paul Wight & him were close. Did Wight have his blessings to go or are there bad feelings between them now?

Some of those college games & even the Cowboys games looked insane. People weren't socially distancing. Some weren't wearing masks.

Ugh! That would make me throw up!

Have an offense that centers around running the ball. Spread the whole field throwing to receivers being open. Quick passes getting rid of the ball fast neutralizing a blitz or strong pass rush. Throw deep if someone gets open but it can't be a centerpiece of our offense like Reilly in BC. Then have a great OL protecting Collaros. That's what we need for him to stay healthy.... Oh wait, we already do that.

Biden to Trudeau: Our countries are great friends. We love you. Trudeau to Biden: Yes we are. And we love you too. Biden to Trudeau: Well, thank you. Our bilateral relations are important to both countries. You are the first leader I've had a bi lateral meeting with. As it should be. It's important our two countries are on the same page when it comes to the environment, vaccines & jobs. Trudeau to Biden: Thank you, Mr. President. I have a few questions... Biden to Trudeau: OK, shoot... Well, we need to get our guns under control down here so poor choice of words. Maybe I should have said go ahead. Trudeau to Biden: We have our concerns about Keystone XL. It would provide North America with oil security & we'd like to get our product to market. Biden to Trudeau: Nope, that file is closed. Ain't happening. So don't ask. I have a lot of support from the Progressive Environmentalists in the Democratic Party. I had to cancel that pipeline in order to shut them up about their Green New Deal or whatever it's called. Trudeau to Biden. Any chance that it could be revived at some point? Biden to Trudeau: NO!! Don't ask!! Trudeau to Biden: Well, truth be known.... Albertans are whiners & I'm glad it's cancelled. I just have to pretend I care. (Trudeau & Biden share a hearty laugh)... Biden to Trudeau: Do you believe the Alberta State Governor wants to sue me??? What's his name?? Kennedy or something?? Trudeau to Biden: It's Kenney. Jason Kenney. We have Premiers & not Governors. Provinces not States. Kenney is a big windbag. Useless POS, actually. Talks a big game but does nothing. What about vaccines from your Pfizer plant? Our supplies are low & we're hoping you could help us out. Biden to Trudeau: No, Canada gets nothing until every American who wants it is vaccinated. You Canadians screwed up 20 years ago when you allowed pharmaceutical manufacturing to be done offshore. Now, deal with it. Talk to me in January 2022. Maybe I can spare a few thousand doses then. Trudeau to Biden: We really need the help. Lack of vaccines is killing me politically. Biden to Trudeau: Oh well, too bad, so sad.... Trudeau to Biden: The Buy American plan you have will hurt manufacturers in Eastern Canada with Ontario the most. Especially Canadian companies that bid directly on US government contracts. That is my base. I can't afford that they lose jobs over this. Can we discuss your plans regarding Buy American?? Biden to Trudeau: Look, what a bunch of malarkey!! I ran on a platform of the Buy American Plan. I can't & won't backtrack now. I promised more jobs for Americans. Not Canadians. Jobs north of the border are your problem. I'm gonna expand the Buy American Plan but I have no real details to share with you at this time. Trudeau to Biden: But.... but... but... may I say Mr President that..... Biden to Trudeau: Oh my, Just look at the time. I really must be going. I have such a busy day ahead. I must say that it is so good that we can improve relations with our Canadian friends north of the border after 4 years of that orange haired fatass in the White House. Remember YOU ARE OUR FRIENDS!! OUR BESTIES!!! One thing, since you are so far behind vaccinating your fellow Canadians we will keep the border closed until it's safe for Canadians to travel into America. I know you understand. Glad we got everything straightened out. Trudeau to Biden: Mr. President... WAIT!!! Biden to Trudeau: BYEEEEEEEEE!!! (Click)!

Unbelievable.

That's the problem. There's not a lot of trust between fans & the league with the Commissioner in the forefront of it all. We just feel that whatever he says just isn't the truth. It's all for show. He disappears when news is bad & reappears when he can give us good news. And then we're not sure it really is....

The CFL needs major sponsorship money. Investment money. Anything to raise revenues. Dr Ho's massage commercials won't cut it.

Single-game sports betting could 'change the financial landscape' of the CFL: Suitor - 3DownNation

Some doorknobs say Utah!!!!!

PPV would be an abysmal failure. We don't have the population here to support it. We don't have one city the size of Chicago, New York or Los Angeles. There isn't enough revenue. Plus as people have pointed out, TSN is the rightsholder. They'd be giving the games away for free if they allowed PPV. Just not any kind of option. Now, this single team betting bill that passed in the H of C earlier this week could mean huge revenue streams for the CFL. I guess unlike Pro Line you can bet just on Bomber games for example. This could open up $$$ for each CFL team & create a following.

If a tree falls in a forest will anybody hear?

I agree which is why teams like the Argos & Als driving up FA salaries during a pandemic makes no sense. Charleston Hughes can go pound sand as far as I'm concerned. He never should have got a raise. Take a pay cut like other players did to keep expenses in line, but nope. Spending should have been taken out of the hands of irresponsible teams like the Argos. Put salaries & expenses in a pool & let each team draw equally out of it. They can spend any way they want but each team must form a complete team with a certain number of players by season beginning. That's what they should have done but didn't. Brandon Banks said yesterday that he'll retire or go play somewhere else if no season so the story just doesn't have legs here but elsewhere.
