2019 CFL Season: Around the League
I've noticed that on 1290 they have not mentioned at all about Montreal and cheating the cap or any of the controversies about the Als. It's really bizarre because both in the morning and afternoon they keep acting aloof and surprised that Kavis Reed was fired after winning two games despite a tonne of rumours about what he did. Only today when Chris Walby was on in the afternoon did he bring it up and they had zero things to say about that.

Rivalries, Late Starts, & Game Days - Attendance
I've been stuck nearly every time using a school bus. I'm not a large guy by any means but it's extremely uncomfortable. I used to go with my dad but he's sick now and no way could he travel in one of those buses. The parking price isn't the issue it's the massive line ups and extremely slow traffic getting in and out. Had they put it say somewhere like St Boniface it would of been gold because anyone in town could get in and out without having to wait forever to get to the game. Anyone who says location isn't an issue is only fooling themselves.

I live in the North and it takes 45 minutes using park and ride in an uncomfortable school bus. Compared to the old location which was 20 minutes and I could drive in comfort and then be able to either go home or anywhere in town in a breeze without a traffic jam. Huge difference. It's not my opinion it's fact.

A more centralized location compared to a location that only benefits one part of the town. Yes location is an important issue.

Rivalries, Late Starts, & Game Days - Attendance
Well considering a tonne of people complain about the location and the attendance has dropped... yes it must be only me with this opinion.

Toronto @ Calgary
Dennis was flat out lazy on 2 of those sacks. Arbuckle looks human, not terrible but that last int was very bad. Both teams can't run, Calgary looking very beatable this season.

CFL Commentators and Personalities
Benevides is really good, hope he stays on for a few more years. The new PBP guy from last week I thought did a good job. Hopefully he replaces Black in the near future.

My opinion for the lower Bomber attendance isn't so much the cost of tickets. It's a mixture of stadium being in an inconvenient area and the lack of marketing and interest to the younger demographics (mostly kids). I think once the Jets came back it swooped all the attention from the kids. I see tonnes of Jets merch on kids at both of my kids schools and barely anything with the Blue and Gold. When my nephew was younger and when he was in school I definitely saw Bomber (and Moose) gear on a bunch of kids. I think having kids under 15 for free would make the most sense , they would surely make it up the ticket cost with concessions and merch that they would sell from the kids being at the game. It's unfortunate that they Stadium is where it is but nothing we can do about it for now. It's unfortunate that more restaurants don't have offers where they feed and bus you to the stadium and back.

Ottawa Redblacks In Town Part 2
I wouldn't be to concerned about Matthews. I'm curious to see how Walker does and hope he gets rep on the offense since he caught everything that went his way in pre season.

Toronto @ Calgary
I think that I read that Chamblin is something ridiculous like 1 - 14 in his last 15 regular season games as a coach.

In fairness lately they've talked a lot more about the CFL then usual. I do find it odd though that they have zero time for the Goldeyes and Valour FC but can dedicated 15 minutes on horse racing which nobody cares about.

TSN even called it out that they weren't trying to disguise it at all.

How does any team not at least entertain the idea of Ricky Ray back when he was in his prime. Insanity.....

I was under the impression that this was for only this movie and it's not like they are spinning off the series with her as the lead.

I remember his success was when he was rolling out of the pocket and chucking it deep and letting one of his superstar receivers getting it on broken plays.

I'm guessing if Temple gets charged he won't be in Canada for long?

The Blue have been great at containing QBs this season so this will be interesting to see how Jennings handles throwing from the pocket.

Wasn't it 5 seasons or so ago where everyone in the league was losing helmets at a higher frequency? I thought the league did something to change that?

Why would anyone vomit? It looks tacky but it's pretty tame compared to a lot of weird weddings that have circulated around the internet for years.

Matt Nichols Discredited Too Much? Passing Yards Are Meaningless
Nichols despite not being able to string drives together is playing much better then guys like Masoli and Davis.... not a huge concern yet IMO.
