I'd rather not go back to those days and you know what, average attendance wasn't better in the home games blacked out era.

Why would anybody want a 44 year old wr, who will be 45 later in the year, who hasn't played since 2011 in the Indoor Pro League and who did a TC in 2012?

I've read accounts and heard personal accounts from people taking the bus back then when it was open, that it could take 15 minutes for a bus to go from Eaton's (MTS Centre now) through the intersection. I call BS on Bellamy and his 10 seconds. Anybody looked into why this is such a pet project for Bellamy?

The club has done some good things I think to attract fans from having a no booze section in the end zone for those who don't drink/families, the half time bands, The Rum Hut, the standing room only section and flying in people from up north. Its finding more of these things.

I'm hoping Hall spent his bye week developing a killer plan to shut down Hamilton.

A lot of pro leagues are dealing with attendance drops, not just the CFL. I do like many of the things the CFL has done such as bands at half time, the Rum Hut in the Peg or the variations in other locales. Not sure how you get fans to see it as a "real" league though.

Reilly throws a great deep ball and heck a great 50/50 ball. Makes sense to surround him with big, physical receivers.

I believe they'll just go Rainey and Van this week.

Calgary since Huffer took over have been the standard. I would love for us to be like them and yes that does mean making the cup 5 times in 10 years and only winning 2.

Hypothetically Fenner in at SAM and Mo out is a wash but would love to have both. Not excited at all about Gaitor. Don't see how Flanders sees the field.

They need to live mic every TO/DC interaction.

Saw an interesting article, Als sold an additional 2000+ tickets for Friday's game, plus have sold lots of Johnny Merch.

I agree. I'm forgetting the analyst on ESPN radio who said it and this is roughly a year ago, going to say Danny Kannel, he questioned if Manziel can read a D.

Hey Johnny is only 2 off the CFL lead for picks.

Manziel needs a new nickname, Johnny Football implies he's good.

Wow, the Als start makes the Titanic look good.

Biggest game of the week and you have Rod Black call it? Why TSN? Why?

What is fascinating is that Hamilton beat Winnipeg and Edmonton and convincingly in both cases.

The trick is make friends with somebody who lives within the restricted parking zone. They let you park on their driveway for free and you have an easy walk or bike ride in and then can get out fairly easy too.

It would be nice to see Manziel do well to help boost ticket sales and to give the Als hope but I sense a Hamilton win.

Riders are now 0-2 versus the west and 5-17 against the West under Chris Jones.

They are but there is only one way into the Canada Packers site in St. Boniface and traffic would have been a nightmare. Not many ways into the Point Douglas site either and to be honest, I think some people would have been turned off by Point Douglas.

If you look at Winnipeg and how its growing, its the south end (St Vital, Waverly West) that is growing the most.

If that is true, just wow.
