    I really don't care what Rider fans post on their board, nor do most people on this site.   What matters here is what you bring and post on this board.
    Do you think coming to a Bomber website and making claims of collusion in favour of the Bombers from the CFL commissioner would get any reaction other then the one you were getting?  I'm pretty sure you knew exactly what you were doing here and got exactly the reaction you wanted.  Then feign innocence and saying it is odd when you get "jumped on".    In fact, coming from a Rider fan I would say it borders on trolling and would probably get a Bomber fan suspended for posting an equivalent post on Riderfans.
    Ambrosie couldn't pass this in a vacuum.  Commissioner isn't a dictator.    All clubs, or at least the majority, had to agree to it.  And if you read the articles of the time, it was clear that there was a sort of arms race going on between clubs and coaching staffs that was outpacing league revenues and wasn't sustainable.  
    Here is an article on who decided on the cap, a little insight on how they came to it, and a clear explanation that Winnipeg wasn't the only team unaffected.    In fact, Winnipeg isn't even mentioned in that area of the article.

    Does it suck for Saskatchewan that this was implemented?  Sure. But in a league that has a history of shooting itself in the foot, has a long history of teams having to either be taken over by the league or saved by benefactors who don't care about losing money, is it a surprise that a cap like this is put into place to keep the league viable and more teams from going under?  Or the more likely scenario that this was put in to pre-empt the players pointing to all the money available that teams were spending and should be available to players prior to CBA negotiations.

    **** the NFL, indeed, but I want as much money in the WBB FC pocket books as possible, so this event will hopefully succeed...

    I believe Demski was a RB in high school and got moved to receiver on the Bisons.  Dobie had him, Coombs and LaFrance as backfield options at the same time for at least two seasons so it was about finding a way to put all the weapons on the field at the same time.

    Isn't Alex Taylor in Edmonton from Winnipeg?
    We should trade for him.
    Pass on LaFrance.

    As soon as I make my wild picks, they cut Firlotte.  Funny thing is that he was the last one I put on the board.

    I don't think either one is good enough to be a starter but looks to me like Hecht won the job.
    I have a theory that they might surprise everyone by keeping Ortiz. As the backup kicker he will fulfil the roster spot requirement and he will never get injured. He would also give us a legitimate option if Medlock gets hurt in-game so we don't have to use a receiver or someone else as our kicker.

    I appreciated the stream, even if it was a bit shaky.    Big props to the guy that gave us a chance to watch the game, and a big raspberry to the Riders for not offering a proper stream.  So glad the Bombers pulled off the win.   So happy that many players stood up and made it tough on the coaches.

    If the CJFL can steam games for a modest fee, (Including both the Regina Thunder and the Saskatoon Hilltops) then the Riders ought to be able to figure it out.

    You have to understand, many people saying the value isn't there aren't complaining. I think it's a valid point that the price is going to prevent the event from selling out and probably limit the potential profit of selling out at a lower price.
    I hope it sells out - for the good of the bottom line - but I have my doubts.

    My regular seats are $340 each for this game.    I just don't see the value here.  It's a preseason game.  I'm going to pass on this.   I hope it works and they fill the place and make lots of money.  Best case scenario is they fill it with Americans who come up, spend a pile of money, and then leave.
