for the league to sponsor 1 beat reporter per team to the Grey Cup...would be a mere pittance and drop in the hat

They should actually do that regardless if not for a major publication, but young up and coming reporters in each city to get a chance to promote both themselves and the league....yearly.

I sure money is not an issue, and really if they approached some corporate businesses and said we looking to do a program as such, would you like to be a part of it and inject some funds...win win all around...positive exposure for all involved and a tax write of for the Company being part of it

The legue has failed on several areas in the 2020's to promote and get exposure with the archaic buffoon's who are running things....They need fresh thinkers and new minds that know what the current landscapes are

If their own organizations don't even want to send them, who's going to publish the articles?

True, just because the CFL pays for a beat writer to come doesn't mean the writer's paper will publish any stories.

44 years old.    I'd be at the "young" end of the scale when it comes to people who are a fan of the CFL itself.

CFL needs players who are marketable. Surely there’s some interesting personalities in the league. They should get them all together. 1 guy each team and remake we are the world but make it we are the cfl. That would get some views.

I was there for the Big Bang. Quite the fireworks display. Tough to find a seat in the black void.

The Blue can dress Jake Thomas up like Homer and do skits where everyone on this board is Grimes being baffled at how JT still has his job.

I heard the Bombers had a contest to redo the jerseys and JT won by adding racing stripes to the helmets. MOS was quite impressed.

JT is everything that's wrong with the Bombers. On any other team, he'd have been cut long ago.

People can laugh all they want at this with a wave of their hand but this is bang on.

Obviously it does not mean that our 39th best player who plays nose is the main reason for our downturn. It's silly and misguided to interpret it that way.

Don't think specific player, think mindset and approach using a specific example. E.g., roster management, recruiting, playcalling, loyalty versus onfield performance etc etc etc.

MOS has confirmed all of this needs improvement/course correction to get us back to the top.
