The original XFL at least had a chance since at that time they had a lot of potential cross over fans from the WWE. They had some good ideas and at least the roster had more NFL cast offs that casuals may recognize.

I don't see how it makes money... when was the last "new league" or sport been successful? UFC 15 years ago?

Watch Calgary signs him and he looks like an immediate all star....

This !!!! Other teams chewed up the field on us with quick/mid slants and we rarely ever called any plays for them.

I'm pretty sure no one can debate that pre injured Nichols that he was lights out. After the first injury he dropped down a notch, and after the 2nd injury he took another significant step back.... now after a 3rd injury it gives the Blue good reason to being hesitant on throwing money at him. If Nichols wasn't banged up and playing at the level he did when he first arrived then I don't think anyone would of fussed about giving him 500 k.

I wonder where he ends up? I wouldn't write him off just yet.

Based on what I've learned by reading these boards.... Toronto will not be able to sign WJ since they have invested way to much at the QB position

Nothing is as Canadian as the Brazilian and American owned Tim Hortons

Forget not Willie took less money to come to Winnipeg then staying in Regina. Even if Toronto throws a higher number... I won't assume that he automatically will take it. Maybe the Blue offer a longer deal with more guaranteed money. I'm not assuming he's gone just yet.

All I know is that had we traded Buff in the last few years we would of received a whole **** load of goods coming back and now we will be getting nothing

I thought in the last few years it was the performers who pay to appear as the Super Bowl half time show?

I found the ending of the Super Bowl more entertaining, but the game was a snore fest. The Grey Cup was far more entertaining in its on field action.

MTS may bundle it... but I think the trend will still continue with a massive amount of people cutting the cable service. Most devices are very user friendly, can stream most apps, can self update and are helluva a lot cheaper. From my circle of friends/co-workers I think the ones who have kept cable are mostly doing it for sports. Now that streaming online has improved so much in the last year or so.... if TSN ever decides to focus on streaming... it'll really hurt the providers. I remember at one point it was said that land line phones will never fade away.... now I can't think of any of my friends who has a land line. Even some businesses are going purely cell.....

What I learned from watching this game is that the Grey Cup was more entertaining and I appreciate how focused our Blue were compared to the 49ers. After the 2nd interception the 49er players were posing in the end zone and "acting" up and at that point I realized they were going to lose. Totally unfocused, the coaches kept getting overly emotional whenever a call didn't go the way they wanted. Made me appreciate how good of a job O'Shea has done with this club.

Yes but that isn't for the mass market though. As every where *gradually* upgrades to high speed network , more and more people will cut the cable. I suppose MTS could make up for the loss by increasing the internet package prices.

Since F N F has gone over the top the movies have been making a tonne of money. I'm just curious how this one does without Statham and The Rock.....

I don't see it happening at all. No money in it at all for Shaw/MTS , Netflix won't give them any sort of discount. Why would Netflix want to do business with them when nearly every electronic device connected to your tv/internet already has the Netflix app installed on them? Maybe with some of the lesser streaming services they'll be interested... but the big ones have zero benefit with joining with a cable provider.

I'm finally cutting the cable (wife insisted on keeping it for this long) 66 dollars for basic cable + pvr + 2 boxes per month.... that doesn't even include the cost of adding TSN. Absolutely ridiculous pricing. It's annoying to continually call them to ask for discounts to make that price palatable. For me, I rarely watch TV shows because of the children, I found Kodi to be super reliable and worst case scenario bit torrents always work. Sporting events are ALL online and stream so darn smooth. CBC is free online and CTV can be streamed online also with ease. Really no reason to stick with the cable.

Trouba 23 points and a -8 while making 8 million per season Pionk 33 points and a +3 while making 3 million per season So far I like this trade!

I know A LOT of non tech people who are streaming these days with android boxes. A lot of my casual tech friends simply stream all sports these days. Sometimes the streams online are better then the ones you pay for!

I'm going to assume his dad taught him his manners lol

I'm wondering when Disney Plus released if a lot of families cut cable and ended up going with the Netflix / Disney Plus combo instead...

At least Arbuckle is healthy and is coming from a good system. So if I'm an Ottawa fan at least I have some positive things to look forward for. Nichols I guess goes to Toronto.... do they platoon him with MBT?

And what about Zach's salary........

Didn't the Bombers make an offer for Posey the last time he was available? Maybe they still have interest?
