That was such a bullshit non call. The Riders always get every break & I don't think they're lucky. I think it's garbage officiating & the CFL wanting to prop up the team.
A college stand out at Wisconsin, Greg Kabat played 8 seasons for the Blue Bombers between 1933 & 1940. He played in 3 Grey Cup games in 1935, 37 & 39 winning twice in 1935 & 39. He was a Western Inter-Provincial Football Union All Star as a Flying Wing in 1938, at Guard in 1939 & at Quarterback in 1940. Kabat was elected to the Canadian Football Hall Of Fame in 1966.
When it comes to hits to the head the CFL talks a big game wanting to eliminate it but the refs & CC never call it. The league needs to show some action & quit talking about it.
Teams seem to have budgeted more for TV money than ticket sales. I know it sounds ridiculous but why else would teams sell individual game tickets on the 30 yard line at McMahon for $80? People can stay home & watch on tv & they do. Ticket prices across the CFL have effectively eliminated the game day walk up crowd. Teams like Winnipeg & Calgary used to count on an extra 8-10,000 in ticket sales on game days but no more.
CFL teams lose out on revenues with high ticket prices on game day tickets. They could sell these empty seats in every stadium for half the cost but teams refuse to do so. So, thousands of empty seats are never occupied & teams get zero revenues for them plus lose money on concessions & merchandising. In Calgary here 10-13,000 seats are always empty. Edmonton has 22,000 seats that are never used. I think they could solve a lot of problems by lowering prices.
I don't know if BLM would stay. He might go elsewhere but it'd take $700,000 -$800,000 or more to do it. If the salary cap goes up significantly with the new collective agreement then why not?
I was reading the Nevada Gaming Commission is very unhappy. With all the huge events going in in Vegas every year, I really think UFC needs Vegas way more than Vegas needs UFC.
