Good lord the TJ Jones thing is bush league. The guy is a six year NFL vet, he’s not some fresh faced Canadian rookie. 

.....basically they want to play exhibition games against CFL teams in the States, which is insane, and Naylor basically laughed at it. I'm not sure what exactly we have to gain from any of it except money, if they're going to pony up a whole bunch. Those guys want in on our TV exposure for their players, I think...

Am I the only one who's literally never heard of this guy before? I didn't even know we had a CFL Head Of Football Operations...

Maybe by the time the season starts Chris Streveler will be making his way back to Winnipeg. 
 

Maintain the TV money and use the federal government to cover the loss of gate revenue has to be their plan.
 

How many billions has Bombardier taken from the Canadian government and they keep coming back every 4-5 years for more.

But it's all fine and dandy that they pay taxes here and contribute to local economies. I always figure if you're paying taxes what's the issue?

You can put whatever you want on those masks and they still look silly and I think people wearing them look silly. Now, are they helpful and keeping people safe and healthy? Absolutely. No question. But I think if it's "stay home" or "wear a mask", I'm going to just stay home. 

I laughed at the thought of him having to call Osh back the next day because he was too much of a mess the first time... ha ha. 

I second this emotion..

Best case scenario, we still get an abbreviated season. Worst case scenario, the Bombers remain Grey Cup champions. I’m going to look at this one with the glass half full. 

And having a CFL season, even if abbreviated, would be a welcome thing to offset all the misery of the pandemic and herald a return to normalcy.

Not only that, but the NFL needs the CFL to avoid being considered a monopoly.

I was hoping there would be more footage that I hadn't already seen, but a lot of it was the CFL game recaps and other stuff that we've seen on TSN. There was some locker room footage that I'd never seen that's cool. 
I would have liked to have seen some interviews, after the fact, with players and coaches and Tait/Irving. 
All in all, it was fun and gave me something to be excited about re: Bombers 2020. I'm praying for a miracle and they find a way to play fall ball... 

A strong indication that this pandemic is breaking people...
 
 

How can a renovation to that size house cost 8.6 million? They could bulldoze it and put up a nicer house for half that amount. Of course, there is historic value but I really don't know what they could spend 8.6 million on. Gold toilet?

an Esks fan that I know through the music business was incredulous that I made that claim last week. Said Milt was maybe Top 10 receivers all time, and that Mervyn Fernandez was the all time greatest. I didn't even know where to begin with that...

whoever thought it was a good idea to put him in the booth at all in the middle of a championship game is a moron. It was likely one of the producers, but it doesn't matter...it was incredibly stupid. Takes away from the importance of the game. NFL would NEVER allow that during the Super Bowl.

I remember that son of a ***** purposely concussed Milt with a dirty hit in our meaningless final game of 2002. 

One game I would love to see replayed is the home game against BC in 2010 where Alex Brink started. Brink played absolutely awful and was benched for Jyles who proceeded to lead us to a huge comeback. The game ended on a Casey Printers pick six in OT which I believe ended his CFL career. It didn’t help that Printers screamed at O’Neil Wilson after throwing that pass.
