Considering many UFC ppv's these days get between 100 - 150 k I'd imagine anything over 100 would be considered a massive success.

I guess we would need Bluto's insight on the reasons. Going to games both in Ottawa and Hamilton, where the stadiums are located and how the gameday feels it's more of a small town community kind of aura. I'd imagine in Toronto if they played in the 'burbs and had more of a college gameday with tailgates maybe they'd have more success attracting people not wanting to deal with the hassle of going into the heart of the city where it's hectic. Montreal has so many places for young people to go for entertainment, they'd really need to follow the Ottawa model and try to get the young people wanting to spend their money to get drunk at the football game rather then elsewhere.

I'd assume Meltzer would be able to get the info out. I'm not sure what would be considered a success or even break/even.

I'm assuming the issue is that Montreal has so many options for entertainment that it's hard to pull people away... it's either this or everyone in Montreal is bandwagon fans who jumped off because the team is struggling? Either way very concerning that they loss that much money.

I finally caught up in this thread and dear lord all I could think of while back reading was the following: It's definitely much more tolerable without Unknown Poster and Kelowna bickering....

Didn't Montreal have a terrible promotion where people can come to the game free starting in the 3rd quarter? I'm surprised that more teams in the East have not followed Ottawa's blue print.... make the atmosphere fun and exciting where young people including non football fans come out ...

Banned or just put in time out? In regards to Massaro I read that she claimed that she was raped on a WWE tour and that she ended up taking her own life. Tragic stuff.

Things seem to be going off the rails lately around here....

For those who have gone to camp and/or following more closely. Does anyone expect any vets to be cut and replaced by a new recruit?

I was listening to Derek Taylor on TSN Radio this morning and boy the green kool aid has hit him hard. The guy wasn't sure where to rank the Bombers in the West and that they could be anywhere from First to Fifth. He made it seem like the lost of Santos Knox was a massive deal and that he's not sure about our receivers after Matthews, Adams and Demski?

Trouba is probably the 2nd biggest FA defenseman that will be on the market... he gets you back way more then only a 2nd rounder. Detroit would have to offer a 1st rounder plus 2 prospects at least.

I definitely blame the media, the guy was suppose to be competing for a starting job after 2 big departures. You'd think they would want to interview him to see his thoughts on finally getting his chance? Super weird that he didn't show, I wonder what the deal is?

Nobody they can get at this time that can replace his level of play. Sucks for Edmonton but good for us.

Is NorthernSkunk & TBurgess the black sheep of the family then?

This is a direct sequel to Terminator 2, it takes place in that universe ignoring every movie that came out after it.

Get this... In the last 5 years Ryan Lankford has more TD receptions then Chris Matthews has had in the CFL.... we should cut that Matthews bum and bring back and start Lankford!

Every year we need someone to complain and blame everything on.... this year it will be Hecht.

Maybe they'll save it for an episode of Dragon's Den?

Matt excelled on multiple teams playing with different players.... Khari was great for a short period of time and had the help of the greatest receiver ever in the CFL...

I don't mind listening to 1290 in the morning , I find Toth to be super entertaining. The afternoon guys are a bit meh to me, Ralph is absolutely terrible and misfires on a lot of his "jokes". Bauming is decent but a bit to much of a homer.

Absolutely sick...

I don't want them to be winless, but it would be nice if they were humbled by the Blue and collect only a few wins against the East teams.

How about we bring back Flanders and put him in at SB?

I'm really curious to see how much of a factor Jones was on the Saskatchewan defense. They seemed to have played way above their heads and if they come back down to earth then yikes it could get ugly in Riderville.

Isn't Adams taking Dresslers spot at SB now? I'd assume Matthews and Wolly will be the guys going down field this season?
