They've been doing the 5pm starts all season, consistently, so I'm thinking it's a TV thing. Absolutely. Locally they don't want it later. My experience attending every 5 years or so they'd try a late start then go back to the 1 PM local starts after trying to manage the insane crowds by evening time.

TSN wants prime time in the East. I hate 5 pm starts MDT. All season, I've pvr'd games & then sit on my deck bbq'ng, sipping on a cool one. Then after dinner about an hour or so later, put the game on & FF thru all the commercials. Sometimes, I'm able to catch up to real time before it ends. Mostly, I finish a few minutes after the game ends. If TSN thinks that having games on all the time during the supper hour out west sells more products for their sponsors, they're wrong. Anyway, TSN sucks in so many ways. Edited September 3, 2023 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I have hardly been able to watch any football this season. 5pm is get supper ready and try and get the kids into bed at a decent hour time. Absolutely awful for watching football.

Bomberman Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Why wasn't the Riders player, Robertson, ejected from the game. Obviously, his head butt of Collaros was a deliberate attempt to injure. Collaros is forced to leave a min. of 3 plays while the dirtbag Robertson stays in the game. rebusrankin and K-Shack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 The CFL does not care about player safety. I want to see Ambroise interviewed on TSN and have them show the play and ask how he can say he cares about player safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expansion into Halifax is imminent, he says. No owner or political will to build a stadium, you say? We don't sweat the small stuff, he says. We don't have time for player safety. We. Have. A. League. To. Build, don't you know??? rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Can't even build a functioning stays platform for.the 2000's for God's sake...how would they manage player safety..let alone a standard for.QB protection with no ambiguity?? Can't even define cut and dried what illegal contact to a QB's head is Stickem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
