Last time I looked, the CFL still had 7 mandated starters per game, 21 total Canadians on the roster, three downs, waggle, motion, one yard neutral zone, no fair catch, 12 men per side... Like WTF??? 

This right here and speed here is a senior citizen. Dude gets it tho. You are alright @SpeedFlex27

i don’t get the doom and gloom. 4 downs is next… no it’s not.

People are so afraid of change. The league needs to adapt. Evolution is about adaptation.

People probably be more ok with it if they didn’t act like these changes would all of a sudden draw fans in Toronto.

Really sad hearing Ace has passed, he had a lot of issues with substance abuse and with Gene and Paul but he was a hell of a guitar player. Not the biggest fan of Kiss but you can't deny their place in the rock world both musically and theatrically.

Duke had a longtime connection with Winnipeg (his first affiliate gym outside the Milwaukee area is here) and he was up here frequently.  Had the pleasure of interacting with him a few times and he was always super nice and respectful.
