I know. But the way he worded it, I couldn't resist.

But they won't so how does saying they should change anything? The CFL will still have to go up against the Stanley Cup playoffs & final. It would be a ratings disaster.

Why would the NHL do that? They won't.

Once the NHL season starts (even training camps) the CFL is pushed back to page 3 or deeper on the sports pages around the country. How many media people in Winnipeg or elsewhere would be covering training camp or pre season games? if they started the season the first or second week of June there's be little fanfare on the start of the season. Once our playoffs & GC were played in October then we're dealing with MLB & the start of the NHL season. These are huge conflicts that would make the CFL irrelevant. The GC wouldn't get the national exposure it gets now. The CFL needs MORE & not less coverage.

Edit

What year did you play?

This will filter down to mainstream society. If you're not concerned about this then I submit that you & others just like to see the headlines. Seeing celebrities go down. Nothing to do with justice but enjoying the proceedings. Kind of like a crowd at a disaster taking it all in.

You'd have the SC playoffs conflict at the beginning of the season as well as the start of the NHL season & World Series at the end. The CFL would be buried. Dumb idea.

Agree with the article. Leave the schedule alone.

Glen Johnson retires. Good riddance.

damn

Why is he playing? Is Mason out?

Have to look forward by never looking back.

I'm talking everyday. Joe Average. What's to stop a spurned lover from bringing up false charges? Or claim a consensual occurrence wasn't consensual. Maybe someone from our past will claim one of us here did something inappropriate years ago. That's why I want to see charges before anyone is judged here. Prove the guilt in court. If proven, then throw their ass in jail.

How can you name people as most would be strangers? My friend in Winnipeg went thru a nasty divorce in the late 80's with their daughter involved. He had visitation rights afterwards but the ex wife always tried to get out of it. One time, she accused him of sexual assault on his daughter because she claimed the girl had a bruise on her inner thy. Had the cops & lawyers involved. No charges were ever laid but he told me she would phone him at work randomly accusing him of all kinds of nasty things from week to week. She was married twice & didn't have to work with the support payments from 2 former husbands. He put his ex wife thru university, supported her financially but as soon as she graduated she bolted demanding a divorce. The guy went to pieces emotionally for being treated like garbage foe years & she polluted his daughters mind so badly that he now has no relationship with his daughter at all. He spiralled down from an IT tech thru different jobs. Now, he works part time at Safeway. The guy had a nervous breakdown & is a mess. The guy was brilliant as an IT tech & now he's just a shell of his former self. He's in his 60's. So, are lives destroyed? Yes, very much so from wingnuts like that. Name me all the people charged with DUI in Manitoba the past 5 years? They at least got their day in court. The only court I see here when it comes to sexual assault is the MBB Court of Public Opinion & the verdict is guilty.

I don't think I've been too naughty & trying to be nice...

"Doing something" would have been firing Hall after the season ended. That would have meant Walters & O'Shea would have been proactive. They'd be forced to find a replacement. I think they actually can't decide whether to keep or fire Hall.

That's the way it looks to me as well.

How long will Bob want to keep doing pbp? That's the question... I remember back in the 80's I hearing a story that the NY Giants wanted to bring him in as their pbp radio announcer & he turned them down. Small town boy from Regina liked the Winnipeg lifestyle & didn't want to live in New York.

There was talent on defense. So much so that we never should have been hemmoraging thru the air & on the ground the way we did last season. Never should have started Hurl. Never should have substituted the way we did. This disaster of a defense is all on Hall & yet here we sit a full month after the season ended & doing nothing while other teams make changes. Other teams have made coaching moves yet typically we still sit. The one big criticism I have of Walters & O'Shea is just how slowly they react to changes. If they can't figure it out by now then something is wrong.

Just me but when myself or a family member has to fly I don't watch Mayday for a couple of weeks before. #superstitious

Political opportunism.

Really SPuDS? C'mon Man. We were run to death. We gave up yards on the ground & in the air with a MLB who did a great job just diving into the DL. MOS said he did a great job being a plugger. If he made a tackle it's because the opposition running back ran right into him as he happened to be there at the time.

Early bird gets the worm. Other teams are reactive. With us, it's a process.
