I'm liking this season a lot better myself. Didn't like the Klingons in Season 1 with their new look & still don't now. So, seeing less of them suits me just fine. I'm also liking the calm demeanor of Captain Pike through all the chaos. Not a big fan of the Sylvia Tilley character as she is just getting more annoying this season.

Around the League: 2019 Off Season

He may be right. I have no idea how to get Toronto fans back. That should be Job 1. -

I'd love to see Trudeau forced into a leadership review if that means anything. -
Don't laugh at the AAF about that. When the Grey Cup was in Toronto 2 years ago, there was a pizza chain in Hamilton giving away Grey Cup tickets with every pizza order. Having the Grey Cup in Toronto with their (lack of) fanbase made the CFL a laughing stock. That city should never get a Grey Cup again after that.

What agenda would that be? Please tell me as I'm curious to know myself. -

I was referring to sports leagues only. Rather than someone in another industry or line of work that isn't pro sports. In that regard, it's very difficult to compare what a welder does to playing pro football. An entry level salary of $70,000 plus is great money for anyone. But if compare it to other sports leagues & it isn't. That is what I was talking about. But I do get your point, Noeller. Interesting what kind of "agenda" some people think I have when it comes to player salaries. The only thing I want is for our players to be well paid so these fly by night leagues that come & go can't steal our guys. -

Chill dude. Always so angry. You're always just short of a vein exploding in your neck whenever you post. Don't want to have a stroke. -

Except that isn't it. More than 3 hours a week involved. That's way too simplistic. -

Then it should be easy to translate to fans who weren't there. How come it's so hard? -

Compare it to other pro leagues. Compare apples to apples. Not apples to sunflower seeds. -

Not surprising considering there is a new CBA coming. Keeping it status quo would never work. They can't just keep raising the cap every year by $50,000 increments either as it's eaten up right away by inflation as well as paying veteran players more money. They have to find a better way of setting the cap maximum. Even with a $14,000 raise for rookies while it's a start, is still too low. Maybe do what the NHL does by announcing the cap for the following season during the current one. That would be agreed to by the league meeting with the players & showing the books. There'd have to be transparency by the league to the players to do it that way. -

We are a boutique league because we pay our players like they are retail sales clerks in a mall. Some random Canadian is making minimum salary& Ambrosie takes away his off season bonus he's owed. Yet the collective agreement hasn't expired. Before our Commish starts talking trash he should look in a mirror. -

It was Jeff Orridge who did this but Ambrosie could have overruled it as an act of good faith. Chose not to. -
Syncrude & Husky were sure whining. And still are. They liked it at $10 a barrel as they were buying back the refined product at a huge discount & then selling it at world price. Meanwhile, producers were still suffering & job losses were everywhere.

And yet the CFL does the deed of not paying off season bonuses even though the current collective agreement has not expired. That's bush league.
