Well, Bob. Patrick Neufeld isn't upset with the changes & is willing to give them a chance. What say you, Bob? He's not upset he wasn't consulted. about it.

I won the Alberta provincial pee wee championship in 2009 as a coach using the Wing T. I had a talented 12 year old qb. I adapted the playbook from the qb being a spinner to doing RPO which he picked up & read beautifully. There was so much misdirection that we easily racked up 300 yards rushing every game. We were extremely lucky as we had 4 outstanding running backs as starters. We struggled the first couple of games going 2-3 But then going undefeated the rest of the way for the regular season, playoffs & championship game.

People are so afraid of change. The league needs to adapt. Evolution is about adaptation.

This is a move to be able to play the game in the US where the money is. There's no money in Canada. The economy is in the crapper. People don't have a lot of spending money. A team in Halifax will bring in minimal new revenue. I think a merger is in the works here. If the UFL doesn't fold, the CFL may want to be a part of that, If it folds then they can put new CFL teams in stadiums down there. I saw a picture of the new CFL field fitting perfectly in the domed stadium in St. Louis. Which means it'll fit in almost every UFL stadium except (maybe) the one in Dallas that plays in a baseball stadium. .

Well as of today, the CFL doesn't even try, so there's that. It's just too hard for the CFL to get off its corporate ass & at least try.

U Sport will have to go along. The field changes won't be stopping for a collegiate league that contributes nothing monetarily to the upkeep of CFL stadiums they play in. They really have no say. As far as McGill goes, it was the Wettenhalls who owned the Als that refurbed the stadium they play in. I don't recall the university contributing a penny 20 years ago. Remember in 1996, there was a tree growing up thru the stands at McGill before the Als came back, the university did nothing to remove it. McGill allowed the stadium to fall into a sad state of disrepair. As far as the Argos go, I'm not quite sure of your point as the Argos don't play in a collegiate stadium. It's really a non factor as BMO is their home field. U Sports is going to have to figure it out. They will. My feelings always has been that all U Sport teams should have their own stadiums. As some don't & let someone else pay the bills they should be paying for stadium maintenamce then they have no say.

I just keep thinking if Cal Murphy would have done that? he might have said we need a lot more work that needs to be done. Osh may have won 110 games but he's still no Cal Murphy.

Are you surprised? We all live in Osh's world.

How many "good employers" are out there? Anyway, semantics. they didn't consult the players & that's not going to change.

Yeah, yeah, good employers. Sure. Lol. If you're an employee in private industry then you're replaceable anytime. You have no say unless you're unionized. I was in past situations when company reorganizations took place especially as an adjuster. Management just changed things with no consultation as to the handling of claims. Everything from company policy to new technology. We had no say. And I'd say most employees would have still said that working at that company was a good experience even with changes we/ they didn't like.

U sport is going to have to adapt. Whp pays for the maintenance of the stadiums U Sport teams play in at McGill, manitoba, Regina, Calgary?? CFL teams do out of reven ue charged thru rent. All these teams mentioned in U Sport play for free in their stadiums because of the CFL. So, unless they want to build their own stadiums which maybe they should, U Sport teams will have to buck up.

Just askin' but if your boss at work decides to implement changes in the workplace does he talk to you or your co worker to ask permission? Nope, it just gets done. The CFL isn't a democracy.

Last time I looked, the CFL still had 7 mandated starters per game, 21 total Canadians on the roster, three downs, waggle, motion, one yard neutral zone, no fair catch, 12 men per side... Like WTF???

Parent was my favourite.

Why is Clrcius playing boundary WR? He's as slow as mollases. Big target. he should be a slot receiver. Wilson should be the deep threat outside in his place.

Celebrity Jeopardy: Alex Trebek: Burt Reynolds you're up... Burt Reynolds: Ah, I'll take Ape **** for $200, Alex. Alex Trebek: It's not Ape ****. The category is A Petit Dejeuner... Burt Reynolds: Nah, it's Ape ****. Sure...

I'll be okay in the long run.

Let's hope so. With the CFL announcement today, I'm finding it hard to get excited about the game. Maybe I will be by game time, I dunno.

Well, we're not considered major league anymore so it is what it is. The league will follow the money.

I think the CFL is a lot closer to folding for good than we know to do this. I think there's a sense of desperation here. Fans in other CFL cities just don't go to games anymore. And I predict more changes are coming.

I agree but this is a done deal. I have a sinister conspiracy theory as to what is behind all this. I think the CFL feels the UFL will survive. That the league will expand & be part of a new lucrative TV deal as well as streaming services. The new CFL field will fit into US Stadiums. The CFL wants to be a part of that expansion. Therfore, next to go will be the ratio & 3 downs. I think the field width will eventually shrink even more to 60 yards. I think the CFL has hit a financial wall & the owners want a new business model. They want to make money.

I don't mourn the loss of the 55 yard line. I mourn the loss of wide FG return like we saw on saturday. Those returnds will never happen once the rules & field changes occur. The ST play we enjoy will be gone.

They're messing with a game that needs mo messing with. They need to do things to make the game better by getting rid of the coachss cap. Marketing needs to be better on a ntional level. Those 2 areas need addressing. Not moving the goal posts to the backof the end zone. So, I agree. For a league that wants to up the scoring if they do that, it'll kill it. Why do I think the boys & girls from Genius Sport are behind this?

People like you that know nothing should say nothing.

Zach's the best we got. We better appreciate that after the garbage performance we saw by Streveler yesterday. Whether Zach's the right qb, well the Mafia laid this **** on our us & our team. We're stuck with it.
