You're absolutely spot on ..

It's early, but I don't think Toews looks out of place at all... Certainly still has it on the dot. We'll see how many games he can play.

The biggest issue is that this is clearly just the first step... They'll get people used to this and then move in to the spicier meatballs like the 4th down...

Collaros was playing really good football I thought... He just had **** protection and the receivers let him down at times. Also MAYBE Hogan, but I just don't know enough about that stuff to say for sure...

Definitely need Zach back.. and good timing for Sterns.. now let's ******* protect the QB and give him time to cook.

The vast majority of the calls were people screaming blue murder and Osh told them they should let the team and the league know exactly how they feel. Yes, he is on the rules committee... Which were not consulted at all.... And that's a huge part of why he's pissed, I'd bet.

Kimmel is phenomenal... Probably my favourite of the Strike Force Five. Myers is a close second and then Oliver and Colbert...

Honestly I want Osh's take, about half way through a bottle of Crown...

I had no idea that I didn't hate Nathan Rourke... I hope he leads a revolt.

Read Ed Willes's incredible "End zones and Border Wars" book about the failed US Expansion of the 90s. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

One last crack for me.... Let's go with Demmer...

Have heard that expansion discussions are scheduled over the next two years... They're very serious about it. All I keep thinking is "Poor Knuckles... As mad/sad as I might be, he's gonna be madder..."

I'm gonna enjoy this GC week immensely... Even if we're not in it.... And man, it's the last "real" one..... ****. Soak it in while we can.

It's interesting because this guy was with TSN prior to this gig... And we know how loudly the TSN talking heads (Naylor in particular) were banging the drum for NFL rules.... So I'm wondering if Ambrosie was staving that off and then a TSN guy got into power and is going to lean full force into the CFL being an NFL feeder league.....

The thing that 17to85 brought up is, with rules changes... Don't they have a rules committee that has to approve any changes? It all feels so random and out of nowhere...

I love Dru and would still take him back as soon as Zach is done. Both guys, with the right team around them (OL, Weapons, Play calls) can be surgeons out there.

"... commissioner Stewart Johnston will hold a press conference on Monday, September 22 at 1:00 p.m. EDT to make what the league’s own media release termed “a major announcement regarding significant changes to the game.” It remains unclear what the changes are, when they will take effect, or just how sweeping they will be..."

Ya if this partnership with the Bills all of a sudden turns into "we're going to full NFL rules and going to be an NFL feeder league"... Out of nowhere 3/4 of the way through a season... It would be the most insane thing ever. That's the kind of **** you figure out in the offseason.

Says in the release that fans can follow along on CFL+ apparently... What a weird thing to do... Drop an announcement seemingly this big on a Sunday afternoon, 3/4 of the way through the season. Guess we'll see tomorrow morning...

*update* absolutely nothing online that I can find about a presser... Interesting....

1 EST today? Should have already happened... Anyone got info?

I'll say it's definitely curious that we haven't heard anything from Walters in what feels like months....usually there's at least one mid season presser and with the team not looking great lately, you'd think he'd have said something ...

Yes Lapo was talking about Strev specifically... Was just pointing out that it's possible to win with him throwing very little because they'd done it before.

That's exactly what Dave was just saying in the group chat... "Even the good teams are ****"....

These two ******* teams... I dunno. I know things aren't great in our world but both of these teams are beatable.
