Its about getting more people in seats to come see the music act, and hoping a percentage of them will enjoy the football and game enough to come back for more.
You complain about the CFL and TSN not doing enough to attract new fans and grow the game.  Here is BC trying something to grow their fan base and bring in people who wouldn't normally come to a football game, but that apparently is also problematic.  🤷

Me and my girl friend went to go pick up our season tickets today, really fun event at the stadium, I bit the bullet and bought a chris streveler jersey. It was the first jersey I purchased since I got a Charles Robert’s one for Christmas when I was 10 years old lol! I was torn on who to get, but I figured no matter what Streveler’s cult hero status as a Bomber will never fade so it was a safe bet. 

1) When the time comes, which team will Chris Jones choose to go into the hall under?
2) What category is opposite to “builder”?

Well if she wanted to be happy she shouldn't have married me... wait what were we talking about?

The fact that there's even a debate is a big LOL to that sad sack franchise.

And then immediately played the next 3 years with an organization that has been in a class of it's own in regards to the treatment and ongoing support of it's players. Dressler is basically saying these were the years he enjoyed the most in his career, and based on where he came from I believe this is more than lip service. The Riders dissed him, the Bombers embraced him and helped him grow not just as a football player but as a relatively young man transitioning to a new chapter in his life. Dressler wants us all to know he respects the hell out of that. I will take his indecision at face value.

I’ve never started one or a GTD, fresh karma. 
Not a lot of hot takes but here we go..
 
West 
Bombers 12-6
BC 11-7
Sask 10-8
Edmonton 8-10
Calgary 4-14
East
Hamilton 12-6
Montreal 11-7
Toronto 9-9
Ottawa 4-14
Bombers still top dogs. I expect the games to look pretty similar to last year. 

We all hate Sask but they’re unfortunately never as bad as we think.
They and BC could be interchangeable at 2/3.
 
Edmonton improves but Jones will do enough dumb things to keep them out of the playoffs again.
Calgary will be close to folding after the season. They’re screwed big time imo. They’ll be lucky to win 4 games. 
Hamilton starts slow but finishes strong and wins the east. 
Toronto plays good D but not enough for a playoff victory.
Montreal more of the same, without the luck of teams shitting themselves against them. 
Ottawa ruins Dru Brown and they play musical QBs all year again. 
 
WSF BC over Sask 
WF Bombers over BC again
ESF Montreal over Toronto
EF Hamilton over Montreal 
GC- I’m not jinxing that
 
 

I feel seen. 

There's simply a larger pool to draw from. 
It's infinitely easier to find an American who can come in and offer more athletically than it is to find a Canadian of similar skill.  Don't get me wrong, I love the CFL, in part, because of the Canadians in it but I wouldn't lose sleep if starting fewer Canadians meant we were able to build and maintain a deeper, more complete roster.

yup...especially with anything I say.....I musta banged his ma

Booch, please consider this your notice that if you don’t start sending me these top secret reports, I will finally figure out how to ban someone after almost 11 years 

Sure. There's a good 30-45 minutes a day on the 680 CJOB Sports Show with Christian. Plus training camp hits in sports at 625, 725, 825, 925am and 325, 425 and 525 pm. And we'll have two hours pre-game Monday starting at 1:00pm. We've hit all those topics over the first 10 days.
Since I've got some time sitting in Regina:
1) We've seen Shayne Gauthier + Kyrie Wilson / Kyrie + Brian Cole as the LB combos post-Bighill. John Petrishen + Tre Thomas has been another duo from the start. Anyone else isn't getting a ton of work.
2) Liam Dobson at left guard and Eric Lofton at right tackle every day so far. I think Ted Wyman was the first to touch on it on May 12. The only time it wasn't Dobson a LG was the last day because of injuries to Eli and injury/day off for Kolankowski. Dobson shifted to center for that one.
3) Michael Chris-Ike is slowly getting more action in a FB/TE roll after his late arrival. Gabe Wallace was getting first-team reps with the injuries to Neufeld and Eli. They are by far the closest to making an impact early in the season. Clercius is down around the 3rd group of receivers. Kalra is much closer than Vlahogiannis. And Leroux is 100% going back to school, so apart from 1 day where we talked about him, we'll catch up with him next year. Gassama and Hubert appear far down the pecking order.
4) 1st team has been Haba and Fox since day 1.
5) KJ Hill never seemed to get above the third group. And when he got hurt and wasn't going to recover in time, they released him. Had he appeared with the first team like a Ravi Alston, Ontaria Wilson or Myron Mitchell there would have been more talk about Hill.
There were roughly 8 guys vying for return spots. They *might* be down to 4, but there are virtually no returns in camp. Without full-speed contact, they aren't worth much. Pre-season games are where we'll see who's who.
 
 

Like I said...I can go a do a Tanya Harding...I take requests

I've got a shiny nickel for each of you who finally decides to shut the **** up about last years cup.

Cool interview with Kody. He talks about being a college teammate with Strevy.
 

Has anyone else been watching hockey with all the BET365 commercials? I was surprised (/s) by the one I saw last night detailing how you can see the app to restrict your access or to force you to take time away from it, I believe they called it a "holiday"...

One other thing I will say is how proud I am to have Osh as our coach. In each of these incidents he has come out with statements that are on the right side and wasn't afraid to be critical of the CFLPA or the Argos/CFL interpretation of the CBA.

This exactly, why aren't the Als facing and backlash on this? Guys betting on games they are playing in is usually only bad for the team...
