The death of local sports in the paper & television has a lot to do with dwindling attendance as well. Before, games would be set up by some talented beat writers, columnists & tv reporters in all CFL cities. They hyped players & rivalries. You knew a home game back in the day was a big deal. Well, most of these guys are now gone having retired or laid off. Now, all games are on television. CFL home games barely get any attention on local tv sports anymore as sportscasts are 7 minutes long. Today, local sports mean nothing to Bell & Rogers. Neither do the CFL teams.

Funny how the Als don't want to comment on why Reed was let go but a series of "leaks" to the media has laid out what was going on in with him in Montreal to the point he was an evil scoundrel. The team said it was concerned about legal action if they divulged why Reed was fired yet found no problem having a mole telling the guy from RDS the problems so he could have a tweet storm. I don't like Kavis Reed but this is gutless .

I'd say probably not. The CFL needs the Als to succeed. No way they'll weaken the team by releasing players or fine them as the new owners would have to pay. I think you'll see a Mike Kelly quote, "It's a non issue. It's been handled internally".

Chris Jones is still a great option, as well.

I've heard ratings are down. You may be right & I hope you are.

Trump?

The problem is tv sports are driven by advertising so if these games don't attract the numbers or demographics advertisers want, they won't sponsor so less revenue for TSN means less revenue ultimately for the CFL.

Same. We can say that, too.

Coach has final say on everything.

We can say the team played badly if we lose & no one should take offense as it would be true.

I'm just going to leave this alone.

Well, I'm certainly not the only one here who name calls. When Skunk makes a statement that makes little or no sense & continues to do so then should I or anyone else just say, "Thanks for your input?"

I do think if the league does a financial audit & they find improprieties then the Als should be subject to penalties like the other teams would be. However, your point is valid. Would the CFL penalize the new owners of the Als? Probably not.

If true, I don't see how the Als can claim that they took care of the circumventing the cap problem by firing Reed. He still cheated & therefore the Als should be subjected to whatever financial & player penalty that is appropriate. What message does it send to teams that don't cheat that nothing will happen to an organization if it does?

If they used QB Efficiency then he'd be Number 1. They used passing yards instead.

Dude, are you seriously that....??? Never mind.

Well, says the guy who ******* on every thread & every post about Nichols & never stops. Look in the mirror. You can't even interpret the stats right. You are a clown.

Nichols QB Efficiency is 126.0 while Davis is 75.1. Nichols has completed 69.4% of his passes to Davis 66.0. The passing stats are set up by passing yard totals but not who is the fourth best or 6th best qb in the CFL. Skunk seriously saying Nichols as Number 6 is ludicrous.

What fact? Cherry picking stats??? We've already seen that yardage isn't the be all or end all. Why not mention his TD to intercept numbers. His QB Efficiency? His won-lost record?? Because you have no clue.

No, he wasn't. That's Skunk. As a fan, he stinks as bad as Davis is a qb.

Arbuckle is a good one. Of all the new qbs that have burst upon the scene, he has the chance to be the best as he's the product of the QB Machine in Calgary.

Oh FFS. You're clueless. Check out his QB Rating. Then check out Nichols. As you don't know, the QB Ratings takes his entire performance into consideration. So, his passing stats & wins. You sound more & more stupid with every post you make.

Disagree with your assessment of Arbuckle. He played well & his receivers did not. So many dropped passes & fumbles. Special teams cover teams were awful. Arbuckle played well enough to win. Other areas of concern on that team.

How that turkey got to where he was while virtually failing at every level as he tripped his way up the coaching & management ladder is truly amazing.
