Yikes...some of you guys have some strict dress code polices at work! I work in an office environment too, but it's more relaxed here I guess. -
I haven't seen any attendance numbers this week. Anyone have an update?

I wear my Cory Watson jersey to work for home games, and my Bomber polo shirt for away games. -

Cohon not seeking 3rd term as commish
gbill2004 replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
CFL commish makes over $1 million a year. Nope. Cut that by a half to two-thirds. My bad. His last contract was 3 years for a TOTAL of $1.5 million. So $500,000 per year. -

Yes. The new Commissioner should be someone with strong ties in Southern Ontario and some charisma. IMO Commissioners don't need to have strong sporting backgrounds as long as they are long time fans/supporters and have good political and private sector connections. I thought having a great tan was the only requirement??? Don't forget teeth. Gotta have great teeth. So, no one from Saskatchewan. Correct. There's no tanning salons or dentists there. -

Chances of Bombers signing Sheets?

I'm excited to see what Chad Anderson does. I can see him being a staple on the Bombers OL for many years to come. -

I'll say zero percent chance we sign Sheets. -

Cohon to replace Liewikie makes a lot of sense. Liewikie announced he's leaving MLSE in June 2015. -
I believe its up to $750 per week now.

Of all pro sports commissioners, Cohon easily had the best spray tan. -

An open letter to CFL fans from Commissioner Cohon Dear CFL Fans Today I informed our Board of Governors that I will not seek a third term as Commissioner of the Canadian Football League. This is a very personal decision. I knew in my gut when I came here that the CFL was the right place for me and I have never regretted that decision. Today, those same instincts are telling me it is time to move on to tackle new challenges and opportunities. I won’t be going anywhere for a while. I have indicated my willingness to complete my current term as Commissioner. It doesn’t expire until April 2015 but I wanted to give our Governors ample time to find the right person for this important position. Their search will begin immediately. And I will continue to work as Commissioner for the rest of this season and for months to come. Still, I can’t help but reflect. It’s incredible how quickly time flies. This is my eighth season as Commissioner, and I have loved every minute of working on behalf of our iconic franchises, with our elite and unselfish athletes, and for you, our wonderful fans. Thank you so much. Our league has come a long way over these years. You have made every advance possible. • When we debuted the REDBLACKS this season, you packed the place. • When we celebrated the 100th Grey Cup, you came to every event, and when we took our historic trophy from coast to coast to coast by plane, train and automobile, you were on board, often literally. • When we visited Atlantic Canada, you came with us, or were already there for us. • When we declared This is Our League, you cheered. • When we sat down to negotiate a transformative deal with TSN and RDS, you armed us with great ratings. • When we said we needed new stadiums, you showed your support to help make them happen. • When we launched the Fan State of the League, you filled the room with energy, emotion and tough questions. • When we launched the SunLife Grey Cup Fan March, you filled the streets with fun and emotion and, as I knew would happen, not one of you dropped the Grey Cup, and all of you cherished the moment. • When I asked for your rule changes, you had the most innovative ones. • When I asked for your input, you took the time to write or call or email or tweet, and each and every time, your passion for our league shone through. • And when I wandered into the stands, into a Sea of Green or Box J or any one of the special places that has made this league what it is, you welcomed me and my family with open arms, good humour, and the occasional priceless one-liner. Commissioners come and go. So do coaches and quarterbacks. Our league and game are much bigger than any one person. The CFL will continue to grow and succeed in the future because of you, our fans. Still, I hope the CFL is better for the time I have spent here. I know I am and always will be. Thank you for everything. Mark -

Maybe Sam Katz will put his name forward. He can make some more back door deals that benefit himself by having Shindico construct all new CFL stadiums. -
