The entire week will be focused on Zachs ankle but he sounded quite confident it won't be a factor for next Sunday. Know of any other bodies we may have back?Houston? How do we match up vs Toronto?

Oakman was a CFL all star in 2021, and an east all star this season at DT.

That being said, not much competition.

Still Oakman was very good and prominent in line play. Perhaps not an all-star but would be even better if partnered up with the Jeffs.

Your OL? This is embarrassing and you should feel shame. 
 

that pic right there encapsulates why we are going to dominate sunday...they huddled around that heater...we shut ours off...

Oakman is good....not difference maker...and that pic too is all about angle/perspective

But lord almighty to add him in the middle with Maulden rotating with the Jeffs...dare to dream....dare to dream haha

Rotation of the two Jeffs, Mauldin, with Oakman in the middle...

Hahaha…you may need a cap increase for that one my friend.

Bailey also brings that hatefulness/intensity on the field that I thought we might lose when Darvin left.  He seems to have enough for 2.

He is just like Darvin in that way- and it is invaluable.

I can't believe Pinball isn't rocking his fur. He showed up at the Grey Cup here gland handing around the suite in a Streveler... Must be why he left it at home, didn't want to openly support the Bombers...

Love me the Pinball, dislike heavily (there I didn't say hate) the argoblows.

I hope so. It would be nice to get a new TV deal, maybe a split with Sportsnet for a revenue increase.

I had huge hopes for the team and that market when he took over. I really thought the universal love for Pinball would signal a turn around in that market but...

People have to know the team exists and the Argos do nothing to make people aware

That's exactly what I mean. Why is he not doing anything, you can't tell me MLSE blocks him from getting the word out. I am sure it's not easy to get free media there but if anyone can Pinball can and he's a great interview / promoter (or was until it was not himself he was promoting).

Ambrosie specifically called hard no to that this morning when someone mentioned even having one specific "Game Of The Week" type deal on Sportsnet. Hard no, he said. So Bell has exclusive rights, has mediocre broadcasts on TSN only (no national, non-premium cable broadcast on CTV), and nobody gets to even try and have some fun with it.... Sigh.

Foxcroft, who imo is a great choice.

Isn't he from Toronto?

And then TSN is pushing prime time games to TSN4, while airing tennis on their prime channel. Which would suggest they really don’t care.

Let the conspiracy theories abound!!

Its likely just not something that can happen. The CFL can't just decide to give there broadcasters competition a game every week. Part of their deal (i'm assuming) is that TSN has the exclusive rights to the CFL. In 2026 they'll likely look at options. But until then anyone who thought that could happen was dreaming imo. It was honestly just a weird question to ask even.

It's just nice to point out how poorly the CFL negotiates it's deals and forces Randy to acknowledge that we are at the mercy of TSN and the little they care about the league.

If memory serves, the TSN deal was considered pretty rich when it was agreed upon.  The problem is that TSN/Bell have done the bare minimum to fulfill it.

ZC practicing in full gear, as expected.https://twitter.com/dtonob/status/1593695771362492416?s=46&t=67BAwqf1lKyNJWU8_nEFVw

I believe Hamilton, at least that is where the family business is based.

Compared to what? Rich for what? And, TSN has been a poor partner for many contracts. Just look at their "reporters"!! The two main ones advocated heavily to sellout to the XFL because they want to be in the US. 

No, Bell can **** itself.
