Agree to disagree on Ottawa. One of their 2 wins is smoke and mirrors. They shouldn't have beaten Calgary, especially considering Davis threw 4 Ints. 3rd preseason game IMO. Riders aren't very good, but they're better than Ottawa. Bombers beat 1 quality team so far, Edmonton. I'm looking forward to this weeks game to see how we do against another good team.

The standard I set was for the bottom teams, not for the Bombers who I've consistently had at #1. The combined record for Ottawa, BC and Toronto is 3-12. One of those games was between TO and BC so one team had to get a win. They are the 3 worst teams in the league right now and no... it's not just cuz we played them. Hamilton, Calgary, Regina and Montreal are all better than Ottawa, BC and Toronto. It may not make them good teams, but they are better than the teams we've played except for Edmonton.

Fixing the fans in the stands issue won't happen using old technologies. Blackouts? Even if they could, anyone under the age of 60 could find a work around. No one reads local papers or watches local TV to get their sports fix. It's the internet age. You can't move the stadium. Public transport only goes so far and most stadiums already have it anyway. Increasing ticket, parking, booze, food prices to make up the losses actually hurts attendance. The CFL ignored an entire generation while watching it's fan base get older and older. They're paying for that now.

I can't believe people are still arguing about where the stadium is. Wait for 30 years then argue about where the new one should go. -
It's just a MOSism. He doesn't like the term 'Healthy Scratch' so he won't use it and doesn't want others to use it, even if it's true.

My Internet's $40 a month for 75M. I've got an antenna to get local channels. I stream and use IPTV for another $15-$20 a month which gives me my sports. Gave up my home phone 15 or 20 years ago. Last year I bought TSN streaming, but it wasn't great and I thought it was too expensive for what it gives me. (They also charged me twice for 1 month and refused to refund or add a month at the end.) Basically I went from $140ish to $60ish a month. -

That's more on the OC than Reilly. Every time they show the all 24, there's one receiver in the short zone, none in the medium zone and the rest are deep. Hard to go to the 'hot' route when you do that.

And losing to the Riders would be a disaster for BC. Sometimes the best games are when 2 desperate teams who are evenly matched go up against each other.

Firing PLAP was the right move. Doing it 8 games into the season was the wrong timing. Giving the job to Burke was the wrong choice, but there wasn't anyone else available because of the timing.

A few things on the Montreal situation: Gotta assume we're not talking about tiny amounts of money. Kavis is definitely not taking that money out of his own pocket. If the Envelopes in the locker room is accurate, not only did the GM know about it, everyone did. That sounds like SOP for the team. Once the league took the team over, they'd start looking at the finances. Now there's no line item for 'Under The Table' payments, but the money would show up pretty quickly. The CFL couldn't allow the Under The Table transactions to continue, so they had to do something. Not sure why it took so long, but then again it took them over a month to suspend Lawrence.

We left Rogers when we moved from Calgary to Vancouver and they wanted to charge us a $10 change of address fee.
