Who did we draft in the 3rd round?
-
Good call!

Matt Scianetti takes a trip in time back to Madden 2003.

BC is horribly bad. Swing & a miss every year since 2014.
-
So, Dave Naylor has an NFL helmet but no CFL.
-
Did I just hear right that Ambrosie won't be taking part in the draft announcing picks? Like they can't put a camera in his home?

That could mean, if true... the eventual return of other leagues & territories before Vince bought them out. Where wrestling once a month at the same venue would occur. Just like the AWA was in Winnipeg for decades. I doubt if ESPN would keep WWE a worldwide company. It would just fill time on their tv schedule.

She would have done a much better job. Trump's base can chatter all they want about Ben-Ghazi & emails as loved ones get sick or die.

I can see the Conservatives supporting this if the Libs want to do it but not the NDP, Block or Greens.

Thanks. we don't even talk about it with her as she is very upset.

I always wondered about that long commute from Calgary that you don't have lol. That would have been a killer especially in the winter on Hwy 2. Glad you don't have to do it twice a day.

You live in NE Calgary, I thought & commute to Olds, don't you?

Sorry to hear about your Aunt & I hope your Mom will be okay. My Daughter In Law's Mother is in a senior care home in the final stages of Dementia. She is in Brooks, AB in a long term senior care home. They have had a serious outbreak of Covid at the meat packing plant there. She is at great risk. And my Daughter In Law or her father can't visit either. Horrible situation.

How would you go to work? 😉

Quebec is... well, Quebec. Some things will never change. Instead of a wall just build a dome over it.

From what I read from Dave Naylor, the CFL is close to folding. Too bad they couldn't have built up a "rainy day" fund to help get them through these hard times. Too busy selling teams to bad or underfunded owners or living life on the edge by propping teams up when too many owners just walk away from their long term financial commitments over the years.

Hey, gotta hedge your bets.

I'm just saying that I don't think the present CFL business model cares about growing the game here in Canada the way it should. The goal should be to sell every seat in all 9 CFL stadiums. I get Toronto is a challenge with the Leafs, Raptors & Jays but in every other stadium it should be doable. They should also find revenue streams nationally & locally to reduce dependence on gate receipts. Charging $70 for a seat that will sit empty all season make no sense. One hundred per cent of zero is still zero.

Again, you're preaching to the choir. I agree with you but the Haters don't. I was in Toronto for business in 1997 the day when the NFL teased putting an expansion team in Toronto that instead went to Houston. The angry reaction was WE HATE THE CFL & WE HATE THE ARGOS even though they had nothing to do with it. The NFL used Toronto drive up the price of expansion for Houston & never had any intention of putting a team there. Toronto NFL fans have been waiting for an NFL team since 1959...

The United States thanks to Trump, the Republican Senate, Mitch McConnell & Republican Red State Governors have put business ahead of lives. Guess we'll find out in 2-3 weeks what will happen. Lord help them if they're wrong.

Doesn't matter. It's all about perception. Canadian NFL fans think the CFL is preventing Vancouver & Toronto from having teams. Doesn't matter what the NFL thinks or does.

Check out the social media comments that go with this story. The Haters said let the league die basically. By asking for money the CFL is being mocked as financial losers. One person said to let the Lions fold, put in real grass & get an NFL team. NFL fans (I presume) are just laughing at us. A pro league asking for money like a small business owner is doing. What is the one thing associated with the CFL by the generally "I don't give a **** about the CFL" crowd? Empty seats. The CFL has done absolutely nothing about it. For years, they've ignored how high ticket prices & televising every game meant fans stay home. There should have been a solution to attract younger viewers worked out by now, problem solved & it hasn't happened. The CFL did nothing about the negative perception that the league is failing because of half to three quarter filled stadiums. Now the CFL is asking for public money & all the Haters are saying why give anything to a failing league??? Perception is everything. The perception, especially by those in Toronto & Vancouver is that the CFL has a minor league product & it will eventually fold. Vancouver & Toronto will finally get NFL teams they deserve if the CFL will just go away permanently. That sentiment is on every Commissioner & the BOG's shoulders since former Commissioner Jake Gaudaur retired. The CFL will spend $$$ to grow the game in Lithuania but not in Lethbridge. We want to be bigshots in Chile but we're small potatoes in Calgary.

Ambrosie just made the CFL a laughing stock on social media. All the Haters have come out. Way to go Randy. Clap. Clap. Clap.

The stupid dumb ass anti vaxxers need to go away, too.

What can they say? We won. They lost. Ha, ha. Ha, ha...
