Sure, but he comes across as an ass the way he is condescending to guys like Bob Irving and former players.

It's easy to identify attendance issues it's another to offer real advise on how to turn things around.

Eliminating quarterback sneaks or changing the clock rules for the last 3 minutes to a game won't draw new fans to the game.

And you're  talking about him here & reading his posts on X.

Hr doesn't but his engagement with fans & other media personalities on social media is the best thing that's happened in years. 

The engagement is one thing. But I always say he doesn't get people talking about the CFL. He gets them talking about Luke Wilson. He doesn't say anything original or what people don't know....attendance is an issue, feels like some high level league execs are opposed to growth...etc etc. 
 

I don't really mind him. But I disagree with the narrative that he's getting people to talk about the CFL.

Yup he's branding himself not the CFL.

Honestly the main selling point of the CFL are the timing rules of the final 3 minutes.  And arguably the most boring part of any NFL game when a team with a one score lead can just bleed the clock under 2 mins with 3-4 plays.

Agreed. If a non-fan is using "the last 3 minutes are too exciting" as an excuse for not watching, they were never going to watch anyways.

And his takes are negative towards the cfl. "Cfl sucks, nfl is better" is not the type of discussion the cfl nor tsn should be striving for.

NFL is boring as ****.  Same issues there as CFL.  Most teams can't pass protect consistently so even with great QB's you have some real stinker games.  Canadian Football at least has special teams to bring some variety and excitement.  American Football has basically removed everything but FG's and punts that are fair caught or downed anyways.
