That should tell you what their TV market is....abysmal. No advertiser is paying ESPN advertising rates for 900k views. If no one is buying time, networks tend to end TV deals very abruptly the first chance they get. Without a TV network, and with Argonaut level attendance league wide....DOOMED.

GCn20 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I honestly think that MBT was very upset that Kelly got all the post game accolades in the Grey Cup. MBT is sulking by taking his ball and going home. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I can't find the tweet at the moment but one of the CFL reporters had mentioned the last year was tough on his family so it's something they've been dealing with for a while.

At the end of the day that's what its all about. It's just what I've seen of him having conversations with others he just comes across a very uncomfortable intense weird guy to be around versus a good kind of weird to be around. But that's just my take. Plus I hate the Argo's and hope they go from champs to chumps in a very short period of time while of course building their fanbase to help this league survive and thrive. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Good move for the lions. Better to have two mediocre no2 qbs than 1. Good on Dane taking less cash too. I think it’s generally a good thing for him. Good chance to recover some confidence. Don’t think vaj is the guy to sit behind though. Ham is really all in on blm. I wouldn’t be surprised if they missed the play offs this year. They’ve lost a whole lot of talent and not done a good job replacing it. They remind me of the post 01/02 bombers. also not too surprised the argos are going with Kelly. But I would think they’d be after a decent vet back up to push him in camp and help him develop.

Did you feel significantly better about mbt being qb1 this time last year? I don’t think tor had a happy qb ending to this off season. If/when streveler is a fa again I expect them to be a top player. And if rourke shakes loss for any bc qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s qb musical chairs and no chair is left for tor. All they can do is wait for a qb to shake loose from the nfl, a team has to move a guy due to qb controversy, or for mbt to not make the nfl and come Up mid season. I could also see a draft day trade with bc for neglist qbs. Like half their nl is qbs and at this point they have two no2s and wait on rourke.
