I took Mike's post as a joke and thought it was so funny.

Johnny Manziel set for fight at UFC Apex

Calvillo also played on some heavily loaded teams with great o-lines. Watching Ray play anywhere... he made magic out of chicken **** at times.

I kind of want a Canadian to line up who gets pushed back , is slow to the QB, and who can eventually join our coaching staff!

so, Crock a Doodle has moved into Marble Slab's space at Kildonan Crossing, Sunrise Records is leaving Kildonan Place, and Hot Topic has opened at St V

The CBC app?

If he shows annnnnything in pre season then I hope they keep him over Wilson.

Hopefully he doesn't come off as a smug pr**k when interacting with the PBP guys.

Throws a good ball and mechanically sound with the lower body pivot now thats become the norm...Look forward to see what he has and if he can grasp the nuances of the Canadian gae quickly and trust his eyes with the extra man lurking around...which is generally the demise of many newbies....cant process that properly
Thing with him is he is not a rookie with just College experience...so feeling some optimism here, and working with Strev and I sure they going over CFL stuff...I bet he shows up ready to roll

The playoff format, while stupid, will not be as big of an issue as the 18 game season will remain to be.
Any given season quite likely that almost 1/5 of regular season games will basically be meaningless in September and October for playoff positioning.
The league is too small and the season too long to make this format work.
So they can celebrate having more playoff games, but they will be playing a bunch of games with no stakes, lowered TV ratings and struggle to sell tickets depending on the market.

In the current system you might play the same team 3 times in the regular season, 1 in the preseason, and 1 in the playoffs. Now it could be 2 in the playoffs. That's exacerbating an already bad situation.
An 18-game season to eliminate 1 team is dumber than an 18-game season to eliminate 3 teams.
Round 1 doesn't eliminate any teams. Think of it as an extra regular-season game, because playoff games should always be win or go home.
Teams 1-6 get a home playoff game either in the first round or the 2nd.
Teams 7-8 get an away game.
Team 9 is a goner.

Does the AFL have only 9 teams where 8 make the play offs? This play off format does work... with at least 12 teams minimum.
When you have a 89% chance of making the play offs... how does it not cheapen the season?

Ummm you are forgetting about this guy!

This site is really running slow today.
This new playoff format is a complete joke and just awful IMO.
The regular season means absolutely nothing anymore, teams will just coast and rest players near the end of the season because unless you are the bottom you are in. As a loyal fan this pushes me into caring much less on what happens during the regular season. Bad idea. This format would only work if they had at least 3 more teams.
The only good thing is starting the season earlier.

I highly doubt this. If the Bombers are clinched and have guys like Zach & Brady with minor injuries. I think the club would sit them and gladly have them at 100% and play a road game over trotting them out and possibly having them miss the play offs.
I can also see casual fans just ignoring the regular season and tuning in come play offs since the regular season games at this point matter very little unless you are at the very top.
Any time a league has done changes for the sake of "more tv" or "more revenue" it usually comes at the expense of the enjoyment of the fan. I understand the need for the league to make money... but this doesn't usually translate in a better end product.
With the rule changes and this terrible play off format, they may as well do US expansion and eventually put a bullet in the CFL and try to merge with whatever UFL / XFL / ZFL league from the States.

My worry is that if a team is the drizzling poops (i.e. Ottawa), that teams 3 - 8 will sit guys for long periods of time so that everyone is fresh for this new long play off format.
We might have late season games where the B squad is playing 2 - 3 games and the stars will be sitting on the sidelines.
